Bit the bullet and tried out mini-view tables today.
Can't really get any more than 11 on my set up with standard view, and 10 is better. and wanted to try a couple more (after hearing sicko Spittles talk about 24 tabling on the Mastercash show).
Always disliked mini-view, although I had only tried it a couple of times before.
I think part of that is familiarity, and partly it didn't suit my eye.
Got up to 13 tables but really struggled.
I guess it takes time to get accustomed to something new, and although mini view does what it says on the tin, I didn't feel that comfortable with where I was at on each table.
Additionally, I couldn't really keep up with 13 tables of action, and was folding quite a few playable hands.
After a tilt-inducing internet problem, I changed back to standard view, 10 tables, and felt much better..... old dogs and all of that!
Summary of the day : played ok (mostly), got some points, did a win.
BUT I did get coolered by everyone on the site and NOT tilt. Just felt really numb to it all and play thru.
Third of the way now. Long long way to go. Highlight of the day was getting an SPT Luton seat. Was gonna buy in as but gave these 6 quid sats that Sky ran a go and binked.
Oh and jakally 24 tabling is horrible. I usually 12 table but 18s okish I suppose. Any more and my brain really does wanna explode
compelling thread & pretty thrilled to have had a shout out from jakally.
i initially misread the promo & thought it was the highest raker over 60k who would scoop...having said that i just don't know if i could play even my C game with that sort of volume,
was playing 6 tables last night for a while, took a few hits & spewed hard v simuk & worse still, beaneh.
Managed to get myself in a £2k whole yesterday but eventually turned it around to a small win.
Lost £600 this afternoon mostly down to losing a big pot vs muzowned at the end of the session. Heading to the tottenham game now and will be back for the night shift
A question for you multitable maniacs ! What happens when you have to answer the phone when you have 20 tables up ? Do you ignore the phone, keep playing while talking. sit out, or close all the tables ? Just happened to me with only 6 low stakes tables going, and it was chaotic to say the least.

Had a great evening tonight, one tabled 8nl made a small profit. I see Scotty77 talking about some hands so here is one interesting hand from my session. I limped utg with J2s to see a cheap flop but the button raised it to five times the big blind. I thought this was expensive but, you know if I hit a big flop then I get all his chips plus I can always hit a flush! So I called and the flop was K 2 2 and I thought BINGO. So I check to induce and he bets, I decide to min raise as I think this is the best way to hide the strength of my hand. He then re raises, so I min raise once more hoping that he just has AK and goes allin and that I havn't turned my hand completely face up. The money quickly got in the middle but he had Kings, I mean how unfair is that, can you imagine my disappointment! I had trips! but hey ho that's poker! Anyway after all of that my C4P is now on 17.

Ohh 'UL'. Dont let this setback put u off your 'normal' game....Maybe u could post the hand ID in the 'Ask Tikay' thread and Ryan could kindly analyise it the next time he is on the show?.....Just an idea....Anyway 'gl'.
Amazing how people can play so many tables at once. I can manage 4 and was considering moving up to 5 tables sometime if I could fit them all on my screen in a "X" shape with a bit of overlap, as they don't fit if I tile them without hiding the taskbar. Kind of puts everything into perspective a bit when you see screenshots of 16-24 tables open at once!
