I learnt to multi table playing play money. Really good way to start as it doesnt matter if you mess up

Less time in chat = more time to concentrate on other tables

Funnily enough, i chat when bored and then only if something has tickled me and set me of.

i probably swim against the tide but the thought of playing any more than 2 or 3 tables at once (especially 20 odd) seems to border on the obsessive side...never forget we all want to win at poker but you will only ever feel good about your game if you can enjoy it...and playing that many tables there can be no enjoyment surely.

don't even go there...leave it to the crazy fools who will tell you they win all the time.

when ever i have seen someone timing out constantly or shoving every big hand they are normally playing lots at once...shove fest.

I do so agree with this and i think its a part of my problem, i do want to think things through, and sometimes can barely remember my or previous other action unless i am focused, and that is with 2/3 tables, hence my amazement at how players mass table.

[Steve Swift]

Playing lots of tables just takes practice and experience, it is not something that can be taught per se.

The majority of people just learn from gradually adding 1 or 2 tables at a time, but most importantly you should be able make accurate, solid decisions quickly. To be able to do this you have to work on your game and gain experience of common situations.

Everyone has different thresholds and you will eventually reach a point where you simply can't process the information quickly enough to come to the right conclusion.

Without wishing to be offensive, at your age that is going to be more difficult than someone in their late teens/early 20's. The brain simply doesn't work as quickly the older you get. I know some of the younger people on here, would outperfom me in this respect.

There are various software than can help you out here, the most obvious being table ninja. What software do you use?

Hi Longy,

I only have HEM which i use poorly.  I take no offense at the age thing i think it is 100% a factor.

[Steve Swift]

Thank you all again guys for the pointers.   I don't think i want to mass MT as i quite frankly don't enjoy the button clicking, maybe i should get comfortable at 4 with an aim of getting to 8. If i am not enjoying it i will play only to a point i am.

Most, if not all of the people that are playing 20+ tables are doing so to make a living so there isn't much consideration to the enjoyment factor.

I'd be very suprised if I can still play 20+ tables when I'm 50+, FML when I have to get a real job

As said just keep adding 1-2 when you get comfortable playing the current amount, if you're just looking to play as a hobby though I don't think you should be looking to play 10+ tables anyway as that will soon take most of the fun out of it.

agree with mondatoo above.

Its about finding your own personal niche. I enjoy mass tabling and after 6/7 hours of play i might have 4 or 5 stacks to concentrate on. Others might only play 10 comps a night but can put more concentration into them.
Maybe add 2 tables per session untill you reach the point of struggle. As i said, your welcome to teamview or screen share me and see what im doing if you feel it will benefit you.

Yes i play for fun but who doesn't like to win a few $$$  ask the wife who has a new fridge freezer thanks to pokerstars and the Sunday storm.  ( That purchase probably sums me up to a T )  I do have a proper full time job, but one of the advantages of this time of life is most of my real life situations are in order, good job, stable life, kids left home, lovely Grand kids etc, so i do have lots of free time and i chose to spend some of it on poker.  But i do try to work at it and keep up with changes and know i should be better than i am, hence trying to up the MT  a little.

I enjoy this community and the help it gives to all, thanks again and keep up the good work.
