hey, just wondering who out there other than me is crazy enough to 24 table micro stakes? and what stakes?

right now im 24-tabling 50NL, but i 24'd 25NL for a few weeks too.

i've done every limit from 25nl to 2/4

I've never been able to handle over 16, so props.

i 20 table 50NL, will 24 when im slightly more comfortably rolled.

You guys are insane.

but I'm jealous.

Hell, I just started 6-tabling... can't imagine how to 24-table. Do you guys use many scripts/betpot button things?

Yeah, those thingy's are great. A mouse really helps too.

I 24 table 25nl when 50nl is the doo-doo. Here's the game plan:

Preflop

Do I have a pocket pair?

Yes- Is it KK+?---Yes - raise/ 3b unless it is a fellow nit. (if you are in the CO
or BTN you can open with JJ+, but be careful!!!)

No - Limp, call, check, overcall 3bets, you must see a flop
at any cost because a set is the best hand in poker,
and no one ever knows you have one.

No- Is it AK or AQs? - Yes, raise. Unless someone has already raised, then
we 3bet, or cold call in position is it's one of those
spewwy TAGS.

No - go back to the top.

Flop

KK+ cbet, raise and felt any overpair against any unknowns.

22-QQ Do we have a set? Yes - get all the money in somehow

No - If we have an overpair we will check/call
maybe bet if checked to. There are a lot
of possible overpairs and sets out there, so be
careful.

AK or AQs - If we have top pair top kicker we do it up proper and bet bet
bet.

If not, cbet roughly all the time because people will think you
have Aces, and face it...AK is also the nuts.

Turn and river... by these later streets the hand is essentially over so there
is really no need to discuss any sort of strategy for them.

Heh, well... I still enter my amounts manually so I can't imagine doing that on 24 tables. But was more meaning if you use extra software/scripts in order to do this... Or just the default buttons on the clients software.

I'm assuming this is a level, but have come across two players at 50NL who mass table and play this kind of strategy.

ive 30 tabled 100nl-400nl (and will 40table by year end)

but i cut down my tables to increase my edge. so far, so good

ok i have a question...how in the hell do you do it? i play 8 tables of 50nl. i have 2 monitors and i really want to bump up to 10-12 shortly. i'm just wondering how you got up to 24. did you wake up 1 day and just say hey i think i'll try that. or did you just add a table a week or something. and any thoughts on how to add tables into the mix so it just becomes normal?

used to 8 table. then was buzzed one evening and thought it would be funny to try 16 tabling. found it was very managable (even with a buzz)...so i kept with it. for 30+ tables tho...its just adding and losing count after awhile =)

X2........

I play 4 tables on Party and that is enough, I find myself getting timed out if I get 2 big hands at once..... I could probably do 6 but I would have to tighten up my game style.... I play about 22/12 at the moment.

Wow, you play on party? I've never met anyone playing on party on this forum except myself. What stakes do you play atm?

when you did this did you deviate from your normal play at all...say you run 16/14 with adding sum tables is it normal to become like a 14/10ish (less decisions kinda thing)or do you play the same style just more volume?

It's also a matter of getting used to it and slowly adding more tables and see if it's comfortable for you...

I played 4-tables for months and had to 6-table last month for a while in order to clear my bonus. It resulted in a break-even streak for that period and I noticed I missed some things, mixed up some things and made some mistakes... Went back to 4 tables and now retrying 6 again for a week or so and now I feel more at ease with it.

Not as confusing as it was the first time... Gonna get my new monitor soon as well (24") so I can actually fit them without overlap. That should help as well

when i first started, i would avoid tougher spots, so my stats slimmed up a bit (a big part of the reason i cut down tables recently is so that i could get into more tough spots, improve more, and also loosen up which increases my edge).

now i can still play my normal game (17/13) 12 tabling. but i still think if i went back to 20 tabling i would be around 13/10ish. at that point i would have to decide why im playing (to improve? to earn? for entertainment?) and figure out how to maxamize my time based on my reason for playing (and thus how many tables to play).

I'm all over the place at the moment, playing a lot of micro, NL10, and NL25.

I'm trying to build my BR, but it's not going well at the moment...... so I won't tell you my username other wise you will be on my tables bleeding me dry. lol

I don't think Party accepts American players now? And this forum is mainly Americans?

I'm in the UK so that doesn't affect me at all.

I've been playing with adding extra tables and cascading them.

most I've played at once was 18 and was doable but I have no time to make notes.

Main issues is not knowing if you won the hand cause you are already playing another table and you don't have time to top up. Also every so often you might time out at a table but never find out because the table wont pop back up.

To all the FTP players, does stacking tables work with their software.

Stars is obv. great as it pops the most urgent table to the front of the stack, but will FTP do the same.

I'm looking to up the tables to 30 or 40, but really don't want to have a 24 table stars stack, and 16 FTP tables spread across the 2 monitors. Way to much head and mouse movement.

currently 24-tabling on stars via stacking method, and still have enough time to take notes, talk on AIM, watch TV, etc. 40 seems perfect.

for all those looking to multitable...
this has been my experience:

the jump from 1-8 tables was pretty easy. (id say 3/10)
the jump from 8 to 12 tables was mildly difficult (id say 5/10)
12 - 16 (6/10)
16-20 (probably the hardest jump (8/10)
20-24 (easy again, 3/10)


i think i have the worst multitable setup on EARTH.

ive yet to meet any mass multitabler who plays on a 12.1'' laptop screen. (i stack obv.)

HAHAH...

also, for all u 24-tablers...

how many BI's do u keep in ur BR?

ugh, 24 tabling on a small monitor would tilt the hell out of me. I stack on my primary monitor, and have stars planner open to the side of the stack.

On the 2nd monitor, i keep lobby/aim/itunes/firefox.

I like being overolled, so like having more than 50BI's when I'm 24 tabling. Right now sitting on about 90, but moving up full time by the end of the year soon so that number will cut in half.

is starsplanner really beneficial??.. i know ive heard peopel talking about it
but i dont use any other 3rd party software... other than PT3?

do u have a link for me to DL?
thxxx

(also, planet earth is sick.. i have it on blu-ray.. love watching when blazed. LOL)

Stars planner doesn't do much for me. But it keeps lobby open which is nice, and lets me sit-out on all tables w/ a single click. Good if have to run out real quick.

Problem is, when u single-click to sit back in on all tables, it autoposts you, so you post so up to like $18 in dead blinds. Real dumb, and needs to be fixed.

what is this PT3 you speak of?

oh, and stars planner is at www.overcards.com in the Wiki section
