i was playin in the 9.90 360 max nl tourney last night, and i was seated basically all tourney next to some guy who was platinum star(ooooo, ahhhhh). not important in and of itself except that he was playin rather slow, so i decided to check and see where else he was playin. he had 18 tourneys going!! 10 sn go , 10 s n go 45plyr, 5 sn go, $55 70 grand, and a whole slew of others. ok. its one thing to have 10 or more tables open at a cash game, i mean you can limit to some extent what your losing, but 18 tourneys? how the hell can you begin to concentrate on that many at once. he cashed in the 9.90 360, and was doing well in some others, but i just dont see this as profitable. if it means anything to any of you, his screen name was aprilsfool.

A fast system w/ multiple displays and experience with a HUD package many online pros find multitabling at this level to be very easy and profitable. Yes their win rate per table is lower but their win rate per hour is higher. Most (dare I say all) online pros multitable and they work very hard to find their balance between number of tables and win rate per hour. From this pros mix I can certainly see 18 tables on 2-3 monitors being a doable task.

18!!!

That's insane!!! I have trouble keeping up with 4 games when the play is moving at any speed at all. Might could do 8 but all the fun would leave and panic would take over. LOL!!! My hats off to anyone keeping up with that much play at once. Don't know if you ever played bingo or not , I have a couple of times, playing like 6 cards at a time was my comfort zone. Some of those old ladies would be playing like 20---crazy!!!! LOL!!

You have to get timed out so many times and I guess when you have a hand you become a Pushbot...
