I have a question. I have played multi table in micro limit ring games but I have lately been thinking about doing the same with the 10 cent 360 sit n go games at pokerstars.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how many of these should be played at the same time max. If I play say 3 for a buy in of 30 and I finish in one of them I break even. Is this worth the time?

What other suggestions can be offered to make this profitable or at least fun.

I only play these games when i am down in my heads up play anyway.

You should play as many tables as you can handle. If you only feel comfortable playing 3 then only play 3. I sometimes 8 table cash games. The more tables you play though the more you just play your cards and the less you play the other players (unless you have a poker tracker). As far as if its worth your time or not I mean your only person who can answer that. If you just like to play and enjoy playing and your breaking even then I would its worth your time. Just play inside your comfort level.

Thats a very good response. Some days I like to play these to see if I can play my game and beat the donkeys. Mostly that is what they have in there for the first hour. No different than a freeroll really. If I break even off them I am ok. I just want to use them as a way to help me when I might be going on tilt.

I just want to be sure that if I play say 5 of them at a time I am placing fairly high in at least one of them. Top payout on these is 8.50.

I'm sure can do it. I like playing lots of tables b/c you see more hands that way so theres less variance in your play. It also kinda forces you to only play good starting hands so you have a better chance to take down pots.

I have a 30 screen so I play 6-8 of those .10 sngs at PS at the same time. I run dual monitors so one monitor is running all poker and the other is running my normal stuff.

I say go with what you are comfortable with and then slowly move up from there adding 1-2 sngs at a time..

1st of all, play what you can handle! I tried playing 8 play chip SNGS (for practise) on my laptop, and the number of misclicks I made was amazing. I'd play 4-6(max) MTTs but if you can play more easily, than do it. With these 0.10 tournies, the more you can play at once the better, because of the low buy ins and low prize pools (apart from at the top).Good Luck!

I am very unsuccessful at those 10 cent tourneys.

But like someone else mentioned, play as many as you can handle. I like to make sure I'm able to make out some opponents betting patterns/donk level so I know what kind of player I'm up against.

I like to play off of my opponents betting patterns and tendencies as well. This is why I don't like to muti-table much. I can't get much of a read on my opponents unless I play 2 tables or less.

As previously indicated, play whatever you're most comfortable with...I'll play up to 4 tables but try to keep the games either similar or very different; I tend to confuse myself (easily done anyway :p) if I'm trying to play Omaha Hi & PLO & Omaha HiLo @ the same time...so it's all NLH or a NLH, a Stud, & an Omaha (or some other combo along those lines).
