r bigger chance of people working togter in cash games than in STTs where the ammount of money to be made is limited.

Especially PLO - low limit they are all on Skype! Wink

Really? Is there evidence to this effect?

Wow!

No evidence, I was only joking.

More likely to be cheating in than cheating in a Hold'em STT.

Oops, you whooshed me.....I'd hate to think that "cheats prosper", but they very probably do.

STT's are the most profitable for me personally online. Although some may find them mundane, I agree with some of the posts on this thread; they're my bread & butter online.

I don't play a lot of cash online and only play for small stakes for a change to playing STT's.

I prefer to play live cash games, but I have a preference to non hold'em cash games.

Occasionally I play the odd MTT online, but I find I lose interest in these after a while.

And on the subject of multi-tabling, how do you guys do it...? At most I can play 3 tables at once.

Do you only play the same format when you multi-table? All tables = STT's or MTT's or cash? Or do you play a mixture?

3 tables at once is multi-tabling.

If that's what yer comfortable with, stick to it.

I play three at most, but i've worked my way up from just one, then two and hopf i'll keep moving up to 4 etc...

I try to keep it at most two different types of poker but have been known to play a sng, NL Cash and a H.O.R.S.E sng at the same time. However i stopped that when i was betting max out of my 7 high only to see that the game had changed from razz to stud  Sad

If i'm just multi tabling sng's i try to start them at intervals so that i'm not playing the sng bubble simultaneously on more than one table.

I know its a bit different as i'm an MTT monkey rather than STT but i found that i was losing more when i multi-tabled different poker forms.

Because No limit and Pot limit hold'em are my most profitable form of poker i tend to find that when i multi-table different games, for instance i'll play 2 hold'em tourneys and a HORSE tourney i tend to find myself concentrating more on the HORSE tourney rather than watching all 3 tables (especially during the RSE levels), this causes me to miss vital bits of information at the holdem tables which usually have a bigger prizepool and payout!!

Now i try stick to one form of poker - and occasionally play a lone HORSE or Omaha h/l tourney for variety.

actually that's true...I can play a fairly decent Hold em STT (say 100$) and a MTT (50$) and even if i were to open up a small (0.25.0.50) 5 card draw cash game on the side I'll forget about the big HE games....when you play HE you should really not play another form at the same time.

I'd also say there's an argument for playing only one format at the same time.  So don't play an MTT and an STT at the same time, or mix cash and tourneys.

I do it, but I'm sure I lose something when I mix up the formats.  If you get into a 'zone' in a cash game it's not going to help your big decisions in an MTT you're playing at the same time, and vice versa.

Although on the positive side, having a cash game running whilst in the early stages of an MTT can stop the boredom setting in and help you to stay patient.  So it can help overcome a lack of patience - but I'm sure that's not a good enough reason to do it.
