How hot is your multi-tabling?

What's the most tables anyone has run at any one time? I know of one online player who used to run 24 tables, but he found it impossible to keep them going for more than an hour and has now scaled back to nine tables.

I have done 18 (9) man sngs once,and regularly played 12 at a time for about a year and half.

I'm bored with 4, comfortable with 6-8, and haven't tried anything past 12 for an extended time.

I'll run 24, but 16-18 is where I'm most comfortable. This is at $10nl and below.

If I'm playing $25nl, then I don't usually have more than 6 going at a time.

i play 20-24 100NL FR tables at a time. 12-14 6max tables.

4 to 8 is all atm, slowly working my way to more.

My question is this: If you guys play that many tables, how do you play in a live game? You must get bored out of your gourds!

I never go beyond 8...always run the risk of being in 4 or 5 complicated hands at once and making a mistake. I once actually didn't notice a new hand had been dealt on one of my tables and missed out on AA, from then on I've tried to limit myself to a comfortable amount for me. Besides, my vision goes after starring at tiny tables for too long, and it gives me headaches. I don't understand how people can go 18, 24, or even more at a time, I think I would lose my mind.

I think I could do 30 at 6 max if PS allowed it. 24 tables isn't too bad; I can keep up but I do get tired after 60-80 minutes. This is only 2NL and 5NL, so not a lot of money at risk. I can't tile, though. All the tables are stacked right on top of each other and pop up automatically when I need to act.

mine is 4 at a time,,,,but i find it hard to play well ,,,,,multyin ,,way to much goin on .....2 games is mi comfort zone tho,,,,,i think if your playin a lot ov tables at 1nce ,u can only play preem hands in position if u not want to loose a lot ov money,,,,hence the term ,,grinding

4-6 I can manage easy with 2 or 3 I would be bored, atm 6 is my limit but we will see what future brings...

What monitor size do you need for 12 - 16 tables, not to mention 24? What is the game like then, I bet you could really be called pokerbot, is there any time for thinking and observing others?
Personally I tried 4 tables once, but got fed up with all this flashing and focus changing after 10 mins, maybe that's one reason why I'm still a beginner

I used to play 24 tables of full ring upto 100NL (sometimes I still do, coz it is quite fun cramming in 5k hands or more in a day ). I played it at 200nl for a time, but I think at that level you need a fair bit more to your game than playing robotic style of poker. Playing 24 tables is not as difficult as you think. You gradually build the amount of tables you play, and after a short time you'll be up to 24 tables thinking what's all the fuss about.

24 tables of 6max is totally insane, I think it may be possibly to be a winning player at the smallest stakes, but once you get to 100nl and above I think your more than likely to become a losing player playing that many tables. Only the very best players can multi table to that level and have a fairly profitable margin. There's just so much more meta game invloved in 6max for you to be able to pick that up playing so many tables.

Usually for most players there's an optimum level of tables/winrate. You just have to find out what that level is. You also have to establish what's best for you. Average Joe's, who only want to get to a certain level in the poker knowledge aand development may opt to go for the mega multi tabling line because there are some great deals with rakeback and bonuses. Other players may want to develop there game more and play less tables to concentrate on the finer details of the game and maximise their winrate and play less hours. Fortunaltely there's a choice for you to do whatever you want.

I play one table at a time.
sometimes I will play 2,but usually I will only play in one at a time.
I find myself making mistakes if I am tring to focus on more than one at a time.

I love live play and do not get bored,there are so many more things to take into considration.It is a totally different experiance

I used to play 8 tables at 5nl FR but now that i've switched to 6max i'm only playing 2, just til i get a better idea of how to attack limpers and with what ranges etc, then i'll start slowly adding one at a time like i did for FR, I couldnt even play 2 tables at the beginning of feb lol

Seriously, try stacking. It's a lot easier than people think. No blinking and no focus changing. I can't stand that either.

ive played up to 12 tables.

usually i stick to around 4-6 depending on the buyins.

When i play HUs i play one at a time.But im able to run 5-6 in 8/9 handeds, it causes me to make more mistakes thou...

40-50 table sngs.

40-50. Either your insane, or just start up lying about it all, either way, I hope your telling the truth cuz I would love to see a video of this just once

I can 4 table PLO, which considering the combination's is almost like playing 24.

mp3 players ftw

fyi now I like to do around 16 tables but I can do 24 pretty easily and when I did sngs played about 30 at once.

Oh hai boku Seriously, if true, you're sick

I've never tried multi-tabling sngs. Are they much slower than FR or 6 max? Is there a limit on multi-tabling sngs on Stars?

I just finished an hour long session of 24 tabling 6-max. It was a bit crazier than last time I tried, but I didn't ever time out and came out up 2 buy-ins -- this is strictly the lowest of the low 2NL, however. Just wanted to see if I could get Stars to refuse to open any more tables, and I was successful -- they refused to let me go past 24.

A question for all of you who posted in this thread. Do any of you use an automated program to assist you?

Just Table Ninja. It helps open tables and lets you program in standard raises as well as make hot keys for other amounts. I don't usually use the hot keys, though -- just adjust the bet amount if I don't like it with the mouse slider. Of course, HEM is running, too.

AHK scripts from overcards.com. Almost impossible to MTT effectively without them tbh. How TF Boku plays 50 tables without them is totally insane!

sngs move just as fast but the decisions are a lot easier. I did turbos so basically it was push/fold most of the time. I think I timed out 2 or 3 times but with practice could probably 30-table without a problem. Biggest problem is I just hate sngs so really can't see myself playing them long-term anyway.


Yeah I have one to hit the time bank and to allow me to use the scroll wheel on Stars. I know others have scripts to automate bet sizing but I don't use that.

Thanks gents, I can't believe I have never taken advantage of scripts for multi-tabling in the past. No wonder more than six tables gave me a headache. I Haven't played online for some time now but might get back on the horse soon and will be looking into these options, cheers.
