Those of you who multi-table, do you only play premo hands? If so, what would you consider premo from early, middle, late? I think I've just been playing too many hands lately due to attentention span, and I know I have a hard time multi-tabling, probably because I play too many hands. I'm wondering if I tried MT, but raising my starting hand requirements, maybe I'll play each table less, but total tables more (?). Is this what MT'ers find?

I play 4 tables because this is all I can handle right now by playing my style. I think a reasonable player can easily play ANY style with 4 tables. After that I think it gets dicey in my opinion. I think from zachvac or chuckts videos, i can't remember which (maybe both) it looks like they really play a solid TAG game in the 6 to 8 table sessions.

Are you using PT or anything to keep track of how many flops you're seeing?

I play just as tight on 1 table as I do on 4 (my max).

From EP and MP 12-tabling I'll need AJ+/PP/suited connectors. I'll mix in how many suited connectors I play and mix up the limping and raising with pocket pairs (while pretty much raising JJ+ 100% of the time), and I'll even throw AJ away from EP depending on the table. From the last 3 positions though if it's unraised I will open up my hand selection a lot even raising ATC from the button if the blinds are tight. PAHUD helps on this part.

On Stars, yes. I will be testing this on bodog though.

You'll need a 3rd party handgrabber to get HHs from Bodog. Idleminer makes it. The deom is good for 1000 hands after that $50.

Thanks!! I'll check it out.

Well, put $2 on 3 tables. 1 table, never hit until my Aces ran into two pair (rivered). The other table went up to $6(ish) when my 2-pair (Aces up) ran into a flush (rivered again). Table 3 I'm at right now with $19.97. I like MT'ing so far.

On PS at 9 tables. I play usually high pocket pairs aggressively from any position. AK, AQ, etc I put a decent raise then watch the flop. Small pocket pairs and suited connectors, I see the flop. I either hit or fold (my set, flush, or straight - never chase cards). I fold alot of hands but playing this many tables I still am playing a hand or two at all times. The upside to playing like this, is that the poor guy playing one table at a time, is probably chasing cards and playing loose. Because of that, if I am going to the showdown with him, I am going to win it. I will try to bleed them if I get a full house or quads, but otherwise I will try to bet them out of the pot and make them fold with anything smaller. My goal is to be consistent, I dont have to put big money out there on top pair facing a re-raise. Again by playing so many tables, I usually I have the oppurtunity to wait for the best hands, then I make them pay severly if they want to continue to see cards in that hand. If I miss the straight/flush/set on the flop, I fold to any significant bet.

Wow that is insane. Another reason why I play at PS. I dont need bonuses and rakeback that bad...

Yeah, 3 table max at B0dog. Been that way forever. Supposed to be changed soon but that's been rumored for a long time now.

Well for me, I like to 9 table 1 table sit n gos but when i play tourneys i like to keep it down to 4 or so, sometimes i just concentrate on one. It really depends on my mood tbh.

oops accidently hit post before i was done lol, anyways for your question, I play my hands same way I would on 1 table. I mean when i play 9 tables i only play really strong hand and my decision are automatic because i dont have any reads on players unless i played them before and remember that person. When I play tourneys its pretty easy to play 4 tables and I can play suited connectors and etc.
