Playing 20 tables at a time??

[sq764]

I was playing .50/$1 NL Omaha HL today and of course every hand took about 2 minutes, and i noticed severl of the players were in 15-20 games at once...

I know people do it, but how the hell can you even keep track?

for me 3 is optimum, up to 5 comfortably no more than 8

Poker Office/Pokertracker/SNG Wizard
AHK scripts /whatever hotkey program
24" monitor/dual/tiled
option: controller or keypad

Lower BI SNG easier to do because of set strat can do 30+ tables an hour. Cash harder but doable. Can't do beyond certain stakes because players will take you apart. At least in theory though some very good players play many at higher stakes and are proven winners.

More practically you add tables as you learn. It gets easier with practice.

Wait till you comfortable playing with example 5 tables then add 1-2, get used to it and add another 1-or 2.

i just started playing in 2 tables 9( CASH) and got uses to, but is hard when i try to add the 3rd one.
in time i m sure i will play at least with 4
i still do not know how i will react now to a live enviroment

optimally, i play 2 tourneys and a cash game at once... that way i can still focus but dont get bored folding 90% of the hands and start playing bad hands..

also table ninja is a great hotkey program

Dont add more tables til you feel comfortable with the amount your playing now. When you add more your ev will decrease for each table but increase overall, which is the important thing

I would surmise it is possible with stat tracking software but even still to play your optimum game you need to be fully aware of the entire game. This becomes completely impossible playing this many tables. That being said your opponents level makes all the difference if your facing idiots it does not take much thought to best them but if your playing seasoned pros it will probably take all your focus to beat them. So its more play as many tables as you can play without giving up your edge in the game.

whats funny is if you find a table with a few of these types, you can flop bet them to death and win 70% of the hands uncontested.. THey have to be so mechanical, they generally either raise/allin or fold..
