8-tabling? (lc)

[subzero]

I saw a guy 8-tabling 100NL full-ring last night. He had typical TAG stats (19/5/1.5). Do 8-tablers basically nut-peddle, set-farm? I can't imagine that they're developing reads on 64 players. I think you get a lot of information on someone who's 8-tabling. For example,

- if they're nut-peddling, set-farming, you can stay away from them when they wake up
- since they're sort of on auto-pilot, they'll cbet automatically
- steal their blinds more often
- they probably stay away from marginal hands/situations
- they can't be that aware of what's going on at a particular table

Thoughts?

All the above looks true. If this guy shows interest in pot I would stay away, and try and take some pots he does not seem interested in.

with practice, you can get decent reads on alot of people just based on betting pattern/ stat display.

can you 10 table $100nl profitably? I just moved up to $50nl, I can see it still being possible there, but $100NL?

[Vammakala]

It's all the same ;P I play short-handed though.

Well if you are 8 tabling, you do get to datamine a lot as a bonus .. and well, since reads these day are all about numbers like 15.4/6.7, then a HUD does the job of delivering reads quite nicely

8-tablers give up some value by having a lack of reads and playing a little tighter than optimal. However, the good ones more than make that up in the sheer number of hands that they see and play.

I don't think much of that aplies to me or a friend of mine who also 8 tables 6max.

- My numbers aren't particularly lag (something like 20/12) but I'm surely not nut peddling or trying to avoid marginal situations.

- I don't exactly cbet automatically but I do it around 90% of the time, not because I'm on auto-pilot but because I need all the conditios to be horrible for me to consider not trying to take a pot where I'm the agressor.

- I hate playing from the blinds even against late position raisers, I think I'd still be pretty tight from the blinds if I just played one table.

I used to 5table on one monitor, 8 tabling on two monitors is paradise for me, I'm always 100% aware of table dynamics for every table and I think I do reasonable job adapting.
Individual players reads are obviously not easy but there are plenty of players that stand out from the crowd (the rocks, the maniacs etc).

I 6 table 6max NL$100 on one monitor... it's fine, I get reads. I imagine iwth 2 monitors 8 tables would be fine for reads after a while.
