    Apologies its actually H3NRY. Still going strong on 6 or more tables. There is just no point playing to lose against computer power. unfortunately it looks like all poker sites are stuck with this problem.

    Playing 6 tables does not mean he is a bot. Lots of players "multi-table", they are real people.

    I have played 5 or 6 tables all evening most days for many years, including tonight.

    I know many players here who 8, 10, 12 and even 20 tables at the same time.

    Most of the bigger MTT players here play 10 or 12 MTT's every night, most of them simultaneously.

    Playing 6 tables is absolutely normal in online poker. These are regular people, not bots.

    PS - there used to be a chap on 'Stars who played over 40 tables simultaneously for 24 hours - and made a profit. I interviewed him once, I'll try and find a link to it.

    I can't find the interview I did, but here's Elky - a real & very well known man - playing 54 tables at the same time.

    I apologize wholeheartedly to all those people who are able to concentrate and play coherently on 8, 10, 12 or more tables at the same time. That to my mind is in itself robotic. There may be some out there who are capable of doing this, but the suspicion of robots at play here is undeniable. I would love to just be able to participate in a game I believed was a fair one.

    There are no robots on Sky Poker Mr Sock, and the games here are completely fair.

    Playing 6 tables is not robotic, it's quite easy, many, many players do it.

    Apologies to H3NRY. I'd love to think it's my cynicism getting the better of me, but I can't help but have doubts about the ongoing legitimacy of poker sites with the ongoing advancement of the bots.

    I'd love to believe that's the case, but somehow I doubt it.

    ^^^^^^

    Thanks @JJBinks .

    If @sockthing is still reading, here's something you should take a look at. Randy Lew explains how he makes decisions whilst 24 tabling.

    I just found the interview I did in Las Vegas 5 years ago, it was with Randy Lew, aka nanonoko.

    FWIW, he is a lovely, polite & well-adjusted young man.

    I recall it so well as he was such a nice young man, polite, humble, respectful, & with a great outlook on life & poker.

    Smashing kid.
