oh

You don't start a new table when a table breaks anyway? To rathole your moniez?

I almost always start a fresh table even if I have just one buyin, simply to reset the holdem manager stats, to give extra little hints about how villain is probably viewing me for the session.

Of course, after a few matches, you start to overlap table names anyway, and I imagine you'd hit that a lot sooner 6 tabling, since I start to hit it even just playing 2-3 tables.

mother of god....

at 1/2 right now on full tilt, there are 20 tables with 2 people, and 58 with one person sitting.

This is truly getting ****ing ridiculous.

it takes 10secs to get a new table lol

Can someone explain why having 8 tables open is such a big deal? The player comes to your table and you don't play them and they leave. Process takes maybe 5 secs. They then move on to another table. wtf is the big deal? Some even remember you and don't even try to play at your table in the future. Which is definetly a benifit for the fools that are scared to open more then a few tables at a time. I feel as if I get more stupid reading most of the responses.

Can you explain why having 8 tables open helps you, when you claim you don't play more than 4 at once?

if you six table, and you have 4 games going and 2 empty tables, and someone quits at one of your tables, you're still 3 tabling and then you should close one of your tables until someone else sits? and then you can open a new table? that's ridiculous. and if you're six tabling, it takes a lot longer than 10 seconds.

fwiw i agree that people sitting at 8+ empty tables is ridiculous, even 6 .. but people saying "one or two" are wayyyy too demanding.

lol at trying to tell poker players that closing a table when it breaks is a demanding task for someone who is good enough at multitasking to 6 table HU.

Oh yeah, and having 8 tables open basically starts an arms race, with people fighting for position to get action.

You start 8 tables, somebody else sees you at 8 tables and thinks "well ****, I gotta start 8 tables now too, so people will sit with me".

And before you know it, we end up in a situation where there are 3 times as many tables with players waiting as there are tables actually playing poker, which looks pretty bad to anybody thinking about playing heads-up, and possibly even scares players off. ("well damn, look at all these sharks just waiting for a fish to sit down. Maybe I'll stick with full ring play after all")

But since there probably aren't really that many new players coming along, mainly it's just ridiculous and annoying to have to scroll through the same name 8 times of somebody who you know won't play you looking for somebody who might.

So what reason can you possibly have for wanting to keep open 2x as many tables as you ever play again?

6 tabling HU is demanding enough without having to worry about opening/closing tables just to make other regs happy.

i do have a question for the ppl who block tables though..if you sat with a reg that had 8 tables open, and they posted, would you play them?

who are you talking to?

It doesn't help me. When i bust a player and have $500 at the table i close it. I explained i'm lazy and don't like got back and opening tables and resizing them over and over. I just get it all done at once.

The post is laughable and down right ******ed. Most players don't put as much thought as you think to playing poker and if they do I don't want them playing me anyway. They go to play poker and play they don't go and do inventory on who's all playing at what tables. You need to get a life and step out of poker for awhile.

If you have to close a table because it breaks, you're not 6 tabling anymore. Who are you kidding? Closing tables is easy; I do it all the time.

The few times that I did table block pricks, I was fully intending on 8 tabling them or whatever should they post. Why not? They never play regs; it's pretty safe to assume that they suck.

it's unnecessary to close a table if you only have 3 open tables. idk what else to say, but whining about it seems ridiculous to me.

Which part is ******ed exactly? At least one solid regular player here has said he feels like he has to participate in the "arms race" that's going on, just to be competitive.

If I'm sitting at 1 table (which is all I'm willing to play right now due to coaching and trying to improve my game), and you're sitting at 8 tables, who do you think is more likely to get sat with when somebody comes and sits down to play some HU poker? You or me? Here's a clue: you're about 8x as more likely to get sat as I am.

That's the point. Somebody coming to sit down *doesn't* do an inventory of who's sitting at what tables. But if they do notice anything at all, the only thing they'll notice is that there are a ****LOAD of people sitting and waiting, but not playing each other, while there aren't that many active games going on.

The whole matter is just silly to even converse about. If fulltilt allows you to play 200 tables you're going to have someone at 200 tables because they feel that gives them the best chance of landing the worse players. So you need to just deal with it and stop whining like lil girls.

And it's borderline ******ed to think that having more tables open kills action. It simply just slows down the action by at most 30 sec. Sorry the fish didn't get there faster. If you're a "bum hunter" and this pisses you off then i'd suggest moving to another site where the bums come to you 30 sec faster.

So I'm 8x more likely to get a player before you and you want me to change. Well no kidding. I like getting the player 8x faster then you. Don't think you convinced me to change what i'm doing.

if every reg sat at 8 empty tables, we would all be less likely to get games. that is the point.

Lets say there's a live room that spreads HU, and has 100 tables in it. Somebody walks in, thinking it might be fun to play heads up.

But when he steps through the door, he sees that 99 of those tables have 1 person on it, and only 1 has 2 people actually playing. And when he starts looking over the tables, a cacophony of voices pipes up "come play over here", "no, play me", "don't play him, he'll just take your money, play me instead, I've been drinking for 3 days straight", and people trying to wave him over to their table.

You don't think that player *ever* turns around and decides not to play after all?

Braski, you seem like a smart guy, would you plz play me for a while?

lol at thinking that no fish will ever realize and wonder why there are dozens of people out there at any given moment who never ever play eachother.

LOL

After reading this, I honestly can't believe you actually used the word "******ed" in reference to anything I've written.

One of us certainly is.

At some point I give up, and start sitting at 8 tables too, even though I only want to play one. Net result, the overall situation is absolutely absurd, and you're a moron, but I have to play along to be competitive.
