Just wondering how many people have done this or noticed... Just putting up 4 tables or so and folding junk and playing the good and letting your attention deficit run wild rather than sitting at one table and studying players' actions and such. It just seems that with the ability of online play allowing you to sit at more than one table, then it sort of bends the traditional "rules" put forth in books by experts and you can get away with simply "playing your hand" and milking the money when you know youre a winner.

Yes, but instead of four, think 24, or 40, or 50.

That is why a lot of multi-tablers are so exploitable/easy to read they only play premium hands.

I cant play more than 4 tables I like learning my opponents tendencies and trying to exploit that.

Mass-tablers cant really do this.

One thing to keep in mind though is that the people that actually may be keeping notice on the players could end up leaving the table before they have a chance to hit you. I'm not sure of the rate of turnover of people at a given table, but what I'm getting at is that maybe the ratio of people at your tables that actually keep tabs on you and how much they can take you for affects you less than you'd think when you're spread around multi tables.

Remember too that these observant players also have to be in the hand youre playing as well.

This ^^

The purpose of multitabling is to get in more volume not to increase BB/100. Who cares if someone who plays one table is taking notes on me, i have 15 other hands. Also the table turnover is rediculous at micros on stars from what i have witnessed, you have new players coming in / leaving every few minutes.

At high stakes i can see the purpose in playing only a few tables and taking notes but for the majority of micro players 1 table = loss of potential profit. Volume at small BB/100 beats decent BB/100 at a single table.

Quantity =/= Quality

You should focus on learning the game and becoming able to change gears depending on who you are playing against. After having developed many lines and going through thousands hands of experience, then you will be able to figure hands faster and thus be able to play more tables at a time.

If you just start and 10-table right away, you may never become something more than just a robot.

Well I'm glad to see that myself a total noob that only has a couple thousand hands under his belt (after wanting to take this seriously so it can be a "job" in the future) and who has read only half of Harrington's and Sklansky's books so far can figure something like this out on my own. I guess that analytical thinking they teach is rubbing off. Having others agree with these little realizations gives me hope.

Yeah I do a little of both, its fun to observe just one table and figure eople out (though it sucks when they leave 5 minutes later) but also fun to just autopilot 4-5 tables and just play the hands and semi bluff occasionally. Like two different games.
