Multi tabling is a new phenomenom in poker. It is an online poker thing. You can make more money if you are a winning poker player by simply playing more hands per hour. Multi tabling allows you to do this. So, let’s see how you make this work.
First let’s take a minute and look at why you might multi table. Playing multi tables allows you to play a lot more poker in a short amount of time. If you can keep up your level of play, you will make more money for the same amount of time at one table.
You can earn a decent amount if you can play effectively when playing a lot of tables. If you have a small bankroll it is how can maximize your profits without taking too much risk.
When you play one table for a large percentage of your bankroll, you are at risk of losing your whole bankroll with a few bad breaks. If you play 10 tables at once, for the same total buy ins as the one table, you reduce the risk. It will take about 10 times as many bad breaks to lose you bankroll. But, you profit potential is the same.
If you can stay close to your single table game, you theoretically will make the same amount either way. When you consider how much better the players are at the $5/$10 than the .50c/$1.00, you should make a lot more money 10 tabling these weaker games.
Here are some guideline to successful multi tabling. Don’t start to fast. If you jump in and start playing 6 tables at once you will probably start losing. Go slow, and add one table at a time. Once your under contol with two, go to three, etc, etc.
Another important key to multi tabling is to play a basic solid game. Make the game as simple as possible. This keeps tough decision down to a minimum. Wnen you do have a tough decision, you can go on auto pilot the other tables, while you take the time you need on the tough one.
Don’t play so many tables that you are only on auto pilot. If your big decisions are done on auto pilot, you are playing too many tables, and you need to cut back. You still want to have time to think about tough situations, otherwise you will start losing.
As a multi table player still use table selection. Don’t stay in games where you are being put into tough situations all the time. Seek out games that are playing straight forward and the weak players are easy to recognize.
Don’t mix your games. If you play two tables of omaha high low, and two limit holdem, and two SNGs, you will really test yourself. If you play just one game, at all the tables, you can get into a groove.
Multi tabling is one of the blessings of online poker. Sitting at one table in a casino can become very boring to many players. With online multi tabling, you can get as much action as you can handle. Hope this helps, good luck at the tables.
