I know when I started playing online poker 1.5 years ago using a HUD and seeing some of the videos where a player used a HUD looked like trying to analyze all the controls in the cockpit of the space shuttle.

My apologies for the external links but hey that's the breaks. I wrote an article about HUD use on Poker Hand Replays and in a separate area posted a video for a different website.

Thanks for the links, one sentence I'm a bit confused about though... :icon_scra
Many players once they've played online poker make a few friends that show that sitting at two tables and grinding micro-stakes tables is a great way to bore yourself to death.
The first and last bits of the sentence make sense to me, but I'm not sure about the bit in the middle - sorry to be thick! :eek:

Ya wtf is with that lol guess I didn't proof that sentence and neither did my editor.

What the point was:

- You'll be playing 2 tables thinking "wow cool multi-tabling!"
- It'll be fun, but meh, nothing big
- Your CC friends will have videos of themselves playing 9+ tables and open your eyes to a bigger/funner world.

atm im playing 2 tables ,it feels comfortable and i can concentrate on better reads etc,i dont consider it multitabling ,sure there is more than one table ,but its purely to combat boredom .
when i get more confident i may add another table ,but i find it difficult to understand how anyone can play 9+ tables and concentrate fully,i feel that people who play lots of tables must have great confidence in their abilities as i cant see how you can learn anything whilst doing it .i wonder how many pro internet players multitable 9+ games at once vs 3-4 tables .?

Try 24 tabling. A few of us here at CC do it regularly. You just keep adding 1 table at a time and you get used to it, but you really need to HUD to make those shortcut reads.
