Online multi-table strategy - multi-tabling

While in a real card room we physically cannot break into several tables, Internet poker removes all restrictions and gives us a great opportunity to play simultaneously at several tables. I find running between tables in a tournament or no-limit game at a local casino can be a tiring test of the fitness and patience of other players, so let's say that playing multiple tables at the same time is the exclusive domain of online poker. I am sure that, just like you, I play to keep my focus on my toes as well as in the hope of increasing my hourly profit. But before you jump into battle, pay attention to a few tips that you may find useful ...

1. Adjust your screen correctly.

This advice has nothing to do with strategy, however, if you intend to play at several tables at the same time, you should adjust your monitor accordingly. Some sites have the function of conveniently viewing the poker tables on your screen. In addition, you can log into more than one site. All of these windows will take up screen space, and if you don't have enough space to fit them comfortably, they will overlap. Trust me, it’s not very pleasant to raise from under the crosshair with 6-2 in your hands just because you wanted to fold your 7-2 in another window, but just clicked in the wrong place. Increase the screen resolution to accommodate more desks without overlapping. And if it turns out that pictures or text can no longer be seen, consider buying a new monitor.

2. Play at all tables using tried and true tactics.

When you play 3-4 tables, you don't have enough time to think over a comprehensive strategy for each hand. You also don't have enough time to grasp the play style of all your opponents. The best strategy for multi-table play is to play the correct hand from the correct position. You should not continue playing with less than average starting hands, because otherwise you will have to face the need to make difficult decisions when playing against unfamiliar opponents. Don't make life difficult for yourself and use solid, but not boring tactics. Most of the players on the Internet are not smart enough and / or play at more than one table themselves, and therefore are unlikely to calculate your game.

3. Keep a close eye on where your money is.

If you play at several tables in order not to waste time between draws, you can open a tournament with small stakes or a small game in a separate window on the side. But what happens if at one of the tables you stay in a heads-up game or buy pocket aces in a 5-10 cent cash game? As a gambler, you can get too carried away with an insignificant game and forget about a few hundred divided between the rest of the tables. In order to be a successful multi-table player, you must pay the most attention to the most profitable situations. And if you get too overwhelmed and start making stupid mistakes, you will need to show willpower and close one or two windows and regain control over the situation. And don't worry - this happens to all of us from time to time.

Multi-table play can be rewarding and fun at the same time. You will be able to see more hands, participate in more draws, and if you are also a good player, not stupid and, damn it, you can grab your luck by the tail, then you will earn a few bucks. At the same time, for a good start, I advise you to follow my three simple guidelines. Many authors recommend Limit Hold'em for multi-table games, since this is the game that is easier to play on auto pilot, but I mostly play No Limit and I feel quite good at it. So, while I am shouting across the hall to the dealer to give it to me, enjoy the game on several tables, sitting on a comfortable computer chair and not missing a single draw. Although ... isn't that what you do?
