Swings - multitabling - what should I expect?

Yeah the normal person can play better at 1 table.. Try playing 9 for a few months and then droping down to one. Thats when my tilt comes and Ive seen it at its worst lately while trying to adjust to 1 table (sound weird I know).

I relate to this entirely. Waiting for a hand 1 tabling gets frustrating, so I start to over-widen my range and play weaker hands out of position. The boredom of one-tabling fosters titly play for me too.

I usually play NL50 full ring but recently have decided to give 6 max a go. I've definitely noticed bigger swings. 2-3 buyins up or down has been normal over a session so far.

If you tend to tilt after a bad beat I found it helped me to be very comfortably bankrolled for the level. Then every time I lost a buyin I could just pass it off as no big deal and have less tendancy to tilt.

I made the switch from FR to 6max about 4 months ago, and the terrain is undoubtedly more swingy because the shorthanded nature of the game forces more aggression.
I would never go back to online FR though, 6max is to me a far more exciting game, way more action. I gather most people who transition from FR to 6max feel the same.
Have never played FR at any significant stake though.
