This is what happens when you attempt to multi-table :(

[crunny]

Tried multi-tabling 4 tournies on my 15" inch screen today. It was horrible, i played so poorly i'm embarrassed. How do you guys do it?
Darinvg was talking about 8-tabling next year- You are a machine!

Here is just one example of poor play:

My question is, ignoring all else, do people push this flop?

Um, raise more pre? Bet the flop? Call the river? WTF?

Yeah, like i said, multi-tabling was horrible. I can't make split-seconds decisions i need time to think.

[mirage]

Well, don't go from 1 to 4, try 2, then 3, and so on. If you can't play your normal game when adding tables that's definitely -EV.

Make sure you aren't overlapping either you can't multtable like that.

[mewsiclovr]

Actually PS's software makes it easy to heavily multitable even with overlapping.

But yeah just start with 2, then when that gets easy move to 3, etc. STTs are easy to multitable because after a while your plays become automatic so you don't have to spend too much time thinking.

Echo.

As for multi-tabling, eventually you get into a system where you generally know what to do in most situations.

When I first tried it I was a little overwhelmed but you getting used to the speed is the only hard part. Getting reads is also harder, but in tournaments this isn't as important as a cash game.
