Just curious if theres anyone who does this successfully. Also, if you do do you use pokertracker or hem? How do you see the numbers while having your tables tiled? I've been only 2-4 tabling 2nl FR for awhile and it's taking a stupid long time to get rolled for 5nl

You could easily 16 table them if you have a good auto-pilot play. Now tbh if you're stuck @ 2NL then you should rather focus on your game, because moving up won't bring you any good if you can't beat 2NL.

yeah its pretty hard to make any moves on people at 2NL...they will call you down with bottom pair. Whats your bankroll at?...I started at 2NL with $20, and moved to 5NL with $120, and never looked back. Im at $216 now and gonna take shot at 10NL when I get close to $300. Oh and get rakeback if you can...it will help build your roll faster...especially if you mass multi table.

I 12-table 2NL on FTP with PT3. I have a 28" monitor at 1920x1200. The numbers are small, but my biggest problem is that HUDs overlapping or getting in the way.

I don't think I use it effectively as I really only look at their VPIP/PFR.

4 table 2NL for <20K hands and take shots at 5NL until it sticks. There's no reason to mass multitable 2NL. It will only stunt your growth.

Value bet any top pair. Go for thin value with 2nd pair good kicker hands. Value bet Ace hi on the turn.

I was speaking with respect to having air not top pair...its hard to make bluffs. OP said he was two barreling and c betting too much and it was costing him...because guys call with bottom pair all they way to river.

This is exactly what I did

20k hands is more than enough to build safe roll for 5nl.

Looks like you are playing mostly good hands, and raising with them, but you have a hard time giving them up post flop when you miss and might be behind. I bet you'd see that your losing alot when you cant let go of your great hole cards. Try to lower your af and youll get to 5NL faster. Try to think of how much you have invested in the post already vs how much more you will have to invest to show down with a hand that might be a loser. You can always fold QQ with flop of A K Rag. After flop you have probably not invested too much compared to what it could cost you.

Multitabling 2NL is mind-numbingly dull but it's a good way to grind up a tiny bankroll. You'll need PT3 or HEM, and also something like TableNinja. It is easier to play 16 tables when you cascade them, unless you have a giant monitor and can see the tiny tiled tables. If you don't like cascaded tables just try it for a while; you'll get used to it.

As for playing style, you can play 10/5/3 like a set mining robot. The 2NL fish are so bad they will pay you off almost every time when you value bet TPTK or better. Also, fold more! Weak-tight is bad when you're playing "real poker" but it pays at 2NL. Re-read this thread.

i needed 28k hands started at 40$ but i had the free 50 $ from the take 2 promo so i jumped to 150$ ( played 40 to 100 legit though in 28k). I 4-6 tabled it all the way and it took me a month. You should max take 40k hands to be able to move up to 5nl imo. If you arent comfortable with 10+ tables (i am not) just stick to 4-6 pick out the BIG fishies and profit off them.

waste of time. I suggest moving up to a stake worth something before mass multitabling it.

Why would you do this? It would be way more profitable to 4 table 25 nl
