what adjustments are necessary to play 6+ tables compared to 2?

[Montezuma21]

i'm currently a winner at the FTP .25/.50 tables playing 2 tables but i seem to fall flat on my face whenever i add any more.

I tend to make a lot of reads and rely on them. here is an example: (i've got 1000 hands on this guy, usually i'm not that thorough, but am careful to note how ppl. play sets etc.) Of course i also use PT and have been improving my ability to read the play behind the numbers.

hates getting RRd
will stack off TPTK on paired boards
likes to call flop-bet turn with TPGK?
CB: always CBs v. one opponent
v agro from BTN (RRs A9s)
likes to RR PFR IP with air on dead boards

basically i'm asking what adjustments should someone make to mtt effectively?

bigger monitor.

the ability to focus more.

i think it needs to be a very slow transition. from 2 to 3 then once u feel comfortable keep going!

Lol yeah I can only multitable 4, I really need one of those 24" monitors (got a 22" now, but can't resize the tables..)

dont go from 2 to 4 to 6 tables. Gradually add one table at a time. If you notice you timing out, or dont have enough time to think about a decision, get rid of one table again.

a bigger monitor isnt really necessary, I can play 8 tables on a 17" monitor just fine (but am saving for a 21" nonetheless, overlap sucks)

and Try to focus as much as possible, take regular breaks (I take one every hour)

The focusing part is most important.

I've 6-tabled on my laptop. Although a large monitor wouldn't hurt.

Yeah I really can't play with tables overlapping eachother, I can play 6 tables on stars though thanks to the resizable ones. Playing 8 tables on a 17" that's kind of sick though, what about investing a bit of your BR for a bigger one, will prevent you from ruining your eyes /images/graemlins/wink.gif

But to the TS add 1 at a time, keep track of your winrate over a large sample too, to see if you aren't losing your game playing more tables at once...

Yeah, I am saving up for an entire new computer and dual monitors, but thatll have to wait for a little more. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You can keep track of your winrate, but if it means that 4 tabling drops your winrate from 8ptbb/100 to 6ptbb/100 I would still 4table, given your higher hourly rate.

i 8 table NL25 Full Ring on Full Tilt on my laptop. which means crazy overlap. But thats only because im very confident in my post flop play at this level. once i get my BR back ill cut down on the tables as necessary.

I just tried going from 4-6 and it's messing me up. I laid out 5 pretty well on PS (4 corners & 1 in the center) and am going to run with that for a while.

4 seems slow to me now, but 6 is too much. 5 seems to be juussstt right.
