Stars reduced the time to act since then, probably too many people lagging the games.

I play up to 8 tables at a time. Actually though, I reckon my optimal profit comes from playing 6 tables. I usually play 6 but if it seems likely I'm going to bust out in one, I'll open up another table.

For me, it really suits my style to multi-table. I find it much easier to play to a fairly set system than to watch my opponents like a hawk, constantly adapting my play.

If I just played one table my ROI would definitely be higher but as a multi-tabler, hourly profit is far more important than ROI. For sngs in particular, I can make far more per hour at medium stakes than I would make single tabling at high stakes.

By the way, I think my ROI would be almost exactly the same whether I am 2 tabling or 6 tabling. The skills are the same. Playing 7 or 8 tables I feel a bit rushed if I have 2 or heads up situations at once - and so am liable to make some expensive mistakes.

As far as calculating pot odds is concerned - I don't. Well, not usually anyway. It's impossible to do at speed. Instead, I remember profitable situations. e.g. When blinds are x and I have 99 and our relative stacks are y and z is it a profitable situation or not to go all-in? Fast decision - hit the appropriate button. Most of this is subconscious. I only really consciously think about the very difficult decisions.

I don't use poker tracker, though I can see why it might be useful. One great advantage of multi-tabling is that you get into the same situations regularly. In one session where I might play 35 tourneys I'll get a pair of 99 maybe 10 times. I'll soon find out within a  few sessions whether I'm playing 99 profitably or not.

He is a online player.   I read an argument recently on P5's with him and actionjeff  " I am better than you are"  ,  "no, I am better than you are", "no, I am much better"

I play one table (MTT)

I will play two if I have to, but I don't play as well and I do miss things and make mistakes with bet amounts.

3 tables or more and I'm a robot at best, and a fairly predictable, fishy robot at that.

[Sark79]

I guess there is no reason why a pro couldn't make a living playing just 1 table. If you consider that up until recently all pro's only played 1 table at a time before online poker. It is probably easier now as well due to thousands of tables to chose from spread over about 300 sites

I'm great at playing one table. But when I start playing two or more, I become a losing player. Plus, I don't enjoy playing anymore when multi-tabling. So I've stopped doing it now. The only time I do multi-table is if there are two tournaments which I'm really interested in playing in which overlap. I don't normally play ring games anymore, as I've finally conceeded that I don't have the right mindset for grinding it out.

I noticed that going from playing two cash tables to playing three created a HUGE drop off in my returns, 'diminishing' (as tikay would put it) probably doesn't do the concept justice in as far as it applies to me.

"Law of Plummeting Returns", there ya go.

Maybe one day I'll gain the discipline to play three or four properly; right now I can more or less cope with two.
