Hey guys im new to the forums and need some help. I play on fulltilt and when i do play i usually play 1 or 2 tables max, however when i start playing any more than that i usually break down and loose concentration, basically its overwhelming for me. Is there any advice as to how i might be able to cross that two table threshold and eventually get up to the staggering amount of tables that some of you out there play?

maybe ur just not built for it.. but practice should get you there. try adding 1 at a time it gets pretty easy after a while.

Learn to play 2 tables untill you're completely comfortable with it, then add one table at a time till you're at the amount of tables you're happy with. Don't try to rush it though.

thanx maybe it will be easier since i just got pokertracker...but ill take ur advice into consideration

Add just one table at a time. Evaluate your play with the newly added table versus your play before you added the table. If your play has NOT deteriorated...add another table. Evaluate again and keep going until your play is negatively impacted by an added table. At this point, drop back to an amount of tables where your play is optimal. For everyone it will be different. You may want to try this at different points in your poker career because your ability to multi-table may improve as your poker confidence improves. Good luck at the tables!

I think the key is not adding tables to see if you can handle that amount, but rather adding table(s) when you are completely comfortable with the amount you are currently playing.

Wait until you can stay on top of the action like it's second nature without straining to keep up with what's going on. (Who opened on each table, from EP/LP, who limped pre, etc...)

Imagine it's your first day as a porn star and you are trying to bang 9 chicks at once. You would be overwhelmed. It would be impossible to remember in real time sloot #1 likes her nipples bitten, sloot #2 wants you to pull her hair and call her a bitch, sloot #3 likes two in the pink spot and one in the stink pot, etc...

You need to start slow in a threesome. Wait until you are juggling those bitches like you're a Globetrotter then add another bitch one at a time.

Rinse and repeat.

Good luck!

well put

LOL thanks man when putting it in those terms i can picture how much work u gotta put into it. imma just start off with what im comfortable and then work my way to become the best "sloot"juggler out there!

That's pretty accurate

this might be another silly question but when you do start multitabling i.e, 4 tables how much of ur total BR should u be playing while on those tables? 5%? 10%?

the hardest step is going from 1 to 2. Once you're comfortable with 2 it's easy to keep on adding them.

I used to 12-table on a laptop. I only like tiling tables and 12 was the max I could fit. Then I got a second monitor and played 16-18 tables straight away and hardly noticed a difference

best post i've seen to date

I would say do 4 tables once you're comfortable with 3.

If you follow standard BRM you will be fine.

Buy in for max and set auto rebuy to max always. When fish do what fish do, you want their whole stack.

ok so salty, then if you started with a 2k roll and were playing 2 to 3 tables max what limits would u play .5/1 or .25/50?

Here's a cool BRM tool:

If this isn't a winner then I don't know wtf is.

For me 4 was my hump i was comfortable at 4 tables for so long, it took forever to be able to do anything more then that. Anytime i would go to 6 i would just start playing like trash idk what it was but thats experience.

For me, I only play one table.

I may try two tables again sometime soon, but I look at poker as a hobby, not as a way to make a living. This does not mean I don't take poker seriously, I just know how I prefer to play, concentrating on one table, taking notes and thinking through each hand.

For now, I don't see me personally moving to a multi table. I can say I did try a matrix game when I was looking at multi tabling...basically you play four tables with the same people, so you can expect the same responses and I would imagine it would help making that migration. It was easier for me, but I just discovered it was not my style.

Good luck

It was hard for me at first also. Just do like the other posts have said start off low and add as you can handle it. I tried tiling first and I could not do it and then did stacked, which worked better for me. I can now do 10-12 stacked but only 4 tiled. Don't know why, so just try both and see which one works best for you.

so basically when you are freerolling your initial buy in you move up a level?
so if u start with 60$ and play nl2, u play till u have 185 in your account. (185 total in account-125 cash out as reward= 60 bux left[initial buy in]) is that what its supposed to mean? so after u cash out 125, with your 60$ you play 2nl again and try to make another 125 profit then move up to 5nl? is that what it means? and then rinse and repeat?
if that is what it means wouldn't it take a while to move out of the micro limits? im just a lil confused i think. i would like to hear all your ideas about this guys....sorry if it has already been talked about...i just would like to know if im understanding this right.
