Sat down for the last session with the £3.49 profit with £1.20 the minimum you can take to the table. Managed to spin it up to just under a fiver. Quite like playing with a low amount and spinning it up, takes a lot more patience! Posted by LARSON7
3 hour session yesterday afternoon, 8/9 tabling for £14.13 profit - wow 2 days on the trot! 15 wins over £1 v 5 losses. Main losses £4.42 QQvAA AIPF -table broke was about to stand as it was HU & found I had QQ I 4 bet shoved PF; £2.60 KKvQQv77 Q hit flop ; couple of smaller 99 and JJ v AA. Actually hit a few flops with AK/AQ for the first time in a week.
Got lucky on the river with this one. He'd been a bit aggro so wasn't sure he had the str8 on the turn.

it comes with practice, thats all. i can play 12 and have been for most of the year but dropped back to 9 a couple of weeks ago.
i play on a desktop pc which helps me as i can get up to 12 tables on screen with only a slight overlap so i can still see the action on each table, 9 tables i can see everything clearly on all the tables, ive tried to multi table on a laptop but can only get 6 on screen with huge overlap and i really dont like it,
as i said its all about practice, the more you play the quicker you can make decisions, it helps if you can pre select actions, so if you see a hand that you want to fold click the auto fold button before the action gets to you, it just speeds things up and gives you an extra few secdonds on the tables that you need to make a decision on. over time you get up to speed on the games and you honestly dont notice it. its when you drop tables back to 3 or 4 i find i can become a little bored and start reading other pages or watching tv more in between hands because i dont have decisions to make.
i've dropped back to playing 4 tables atm as i found playing 9 tables last week sometime,all i was doing was pressing buttons and not really thinking about the hands very clearly,and ended up losing a buy-in i think. obviously you know i can play 9+ tables when i dym so do you think now i've switched to cash i could maybe just add 1 table at a time and if i have a winning session,so today for example i could play 5 after a win y'day playing 4.any thoughts would be much appreciated.
haha about 2 months ago, i was 4 tabling, and crushing 1 table, couple of quid profit on another, couple of quid loss on another, and busto on the 4th, Last couple of days i've just been playing 1 /2 tables so i know what's going on and have been playing a lot more poker, knowing how people play, where as i couldnt do that when 4 tabling.
I started 2 tabling with £50 about 14 months back was up & down a bit then down to last £8 & thought "Well I'm useless at this cash lark might as well give up". Adamant that I was not going to re-deposit. So nitted up tried again & off we go. Started adding a table at a time from last March/April - now up to 8 or 9. I used to keep a more detailed spreadsheet showing profit/loss and BB/100 hands played which is probably the best indicator of success rate. Now just keep daily profit/loss & c4p. I think my BB/100 will be worse playing 9 tables than when i was 2 or 4 tabling because I'm less able to pay full attention to all the others actions, but the overall profit is up (smaller profit from more tables).
nice start tintin...must be nice. i've dropped back to playing 4 tables atm as i found playing 9 tables last week sometime,all i was doing was pressing buttons and not really thinking about the hands very clearly,and ended up losing a buy-in i think. obviously you know i can play 9+ tables when i dym so do you think now i've switched to cash i could maybe just add 1 table at a time and if i have a winning session,so today for example i could play 5 after a win y'day playing 4.any thoughts would be much appreciated. dev Posted by devonfish5
dont be in a rush to add too many tables. i know you can play more from your dym but its a different game. i know i couldnt walk on to the dym and start playing 9 tables there as its new to me.
i'd stick to the 4 for now, only think about adding to your tables when you feel you are on top of it. by this i mean you find a lot of your decisions are becoming easier and you feel on top of the game play. just going by winning sessions alone i dont think would give you a clear indicator. if you look over your sessions and feel your making the right choices consistanly then i'd look to start adding another table. rinse and repeat til you get to where you want table wise. getting some consistent winning sessions in a row will give you some indication but be honest wih yourself when reviewing the session.
just remember everyone has a tipping point. it will take trial and error as to where each persons is. no point playing 12 if your win rate is less than when you play 8.
you will get there im sure, its al part of the learning curve

thanks mate, yeah,i was thinking that 4 was enough for the moment,and now that you've confirmed it for me,that's what i'll stick to. of course i'd like to play alot more but as you say no point playing 12 if win rate is less than 8. thanks again tintin, best wishes dev
4 hour session 9 tables - up £28.53 (£42.66 for the 2 days) 31 wins/14 losses over £1 stacked off twice on 1 table early on with 2nd nut fl - once v nut fl and the other v nut flush & FH ! Hopefully play tomorrow evening for a while but then I'm away for 2 days golf (weather permitting)
started the first part of tonight with a loss of £9 before i took my usual hour break, was tempted to call it a night there and then, last night late night was catching up with me a little, but went back to it as usual. another hour went by where i wished i had called it a night but things changed.
got back to positive numbers and for this evening i ended up +£12ish.
total for the week so far: +£56.05
its another £30+ day so im hoping they last.
i lost this pot just before i stood up, i have been runnin well avoiding the flush draws getting there but this one i couldnt, i hold here and it would have been a 10 buyin day.
right lets get todays numbers out the way first. im down, yes down £14. tone was set in first 5 mins when i had AK in pre twice for stacks v AQ then K10 and lost them. no worries i seem to start like that most sessions, lost another couple of small pots before i gotr disconnected from the tables, it was my broadbands fault so spent a while on the phone to the provider for all the good they were and missed happy hour,
had another hour there where the theme seemed to continue, split a few pots which is always annoying when you get money in miles ahead, had AQ v AQ aipf v a fishy player who 4 flushed the board grrrr then AK v QQ v 6d4d aipf again about £10 in the pot, flop my king on a K93r board (or similar) look away and notice no queen hit then see half the pot going in a different direction 64 had only went runner runner straight grrrrr again.
so a loss on the day so far, hope i can turn it around.
Down 12.98 over a session late last night and today!
Lostan all in, 2 pair over set, i had a set over a flush, and my last big loss was all in on the Flop, king high flop, i have AK oppo has KQ, river a Queen!
an absolute battle just to break even for tonight and remain -£14 on the day.
played like an absiolute knob most of the session, it was brutal. everytime i thought i was about to make a little progress back i went, over and over again.
on a side note ive never seen so many people limp kings pre like i did tonight, the amount of times i ran a big hand into them was unreal. ak into them a few times, queens into them a couple, flopped top 2 in a limped pot they flop a set, turn a set on a none threatening board K high they had limped kings and flopped a set. it was scary.

Really nice profit TINTIN. The maximum i multi table is 4, how can you cope with 9 tables?

Familiar theme through the session
AA v KT ; AQ (hit A) v A3 ; AJ (hit J) v KQ ; AQ (hit A) v 69. They all rivered straights !
AA v J8 (trip J's) AT (TPTK) v set 2's
Had AA twice more in BB folded round to me both times - but at least they were winning hands !
Off to freeze my nuts off on the golf course for the next 2 days - must be mad.
Lostan all in, 2 pair over set, i had a set over a flush, and my last big loss was all in on the Flop, king high flop, i have AK oppo has KQ, river a Queen!
Total Profit, £1.35¬¬!!
