Full Ring 101 Questions - N00Bs ask here

[diebitter]

okay, ripping off the 'get your N00b out' thread in microstakes NL and giving it a new name to look vaguely original, here we go.

Got a question you think is too noobish to ask?

Afraid your post will get locked because it's stupid?

Think you've got a frequently asked question that isn't in the FAQ?

Then post your noob questions - as silly as you think they might be - in this thread.

This thread is reserved for ON TOPIC questions only. This is not "Ask FR Regs Anything."


All regulars are invited to answer, but respectfully and appropriately. Save your asshat for OOT or bbv4life or something.


If regs don't answer any one question, I ask the FR mods to step up and take a stab at whatever it is.


Okay, GO!

OK, Noobie question from me ( I have no shame!)

Multi-tabling - I am a winning player at $10NL and $25NL and feel comfortable playing one or two tables, and am trying to get to 4 tabling, so as to play more hands per hour (obv)

I have the kit for it - a Samsung 204B (1600 x 1200) screen so can have up to 4 tables with no overlap, but my results have been pretty meh, to say the least. I can keep up with the action, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be focusing my attention IYSWIM, and have trouble filtering out unecessary info.

Is this standard at first or should this be easy ? I know so many posters play 8-12 screens with little trouble. I'd be happy playing 4 tables....

Any tips plz ?!!

TIA

Standard. It's all just practice. Consider adding tables the same as moving up. It's going to take at least as long to get comfortable as it would if you started playing $50NL. And you can't automatically expect to pwn right away.

Once you get up around six or eight, it gets a lot less difficult to add tables but while you're still playing one or two for most people it takes some practice.

You also might want to give stacking tables a try:

Standard, after a few thousand hands you will acclimate. Action moves slowly enough that 4 and probably up to 6 should be absolutely no problem with enough practice.

Explain to me an easy way to get a hand history, and then actually post it in a thread.

Thanks.

if you play at stars, click the top left corner of the table the hand was on where it says game and under that previous with ahnd numbers following each, find your hand, copy and paste

if you wanna convert it so it looks pretty theres links in the FAQ

Do you have PT?
What site do you play on?

[m bozeman]

Yes, pokertracker, pokerstars. I seem to have a hard time getting the hand history onto two plus two. Thats the main question.
