Most of them are playing each other on all 12 tables.. How is this possible?(its the same crowd all the time)the ones that are always on sky tv.. And what kind of set up at home do you need to do this? How do you get to work out how payers behave, betting patterns ect..?ive had max 5 tables on my screen watching them and cant keep up watching never mind playing...lol...very interested

    Hi benny

    Some people have more than one monitor attached to the PC, and can have at least 4 tables per monitor, the more monitors, the more tables thay can play at one time.

    Poker bots, they are a programme written to supposedly play poker and try to beat the odds by calculations of the algorhythms of the Random Number Generater, no poker site will allow them, the software each poker site has can spot them instantly by its play and would freeze the account it plays on.

    Poker bots are actually computer programmes written to play poker. They do not calculate anything related to Random Number Generators but work using algorithms written to try to produce near optimal play. They vary in sophistication but are largely predictable (and hence exploitable by good players) due to their nature.

    Poker sites routinely monitor action to make sure that these types of programs are not used.

    Some inexperienced players claim that their use is much more widespread than it actually is because they cannot understand how a human being can play so many concurrent tables. However, if you look on  a well known video hosting site, you will be able to find many videos of people playing staggering numbers of tables.

    You can rest assured that the players who seriously multi-table on Sky Poker are real human beings. You can even meet some of them if you turn up at a Sky Poker Tour event.

    hello Tikay

    this is my first post on the forums any ideas would be greatly recieved

    i have been watching sky poker (which i this is top notch btw) for a while and now have decided to have a go.

    when i first started i was admittedly hemorrhaging cash like no tomorrow from being to aggressive and lose in wrong places so i have become alot tighter and lowered my range

    Just wanted to get your throught on this today was 1 of many toble that ive sat down at where it was a tight table and i brought in for max which was £8 it was a 4p/8p table but the deck was cold for me for a number of hour what should i be doing move on or grind through it

    ty very much keep up good work

    I was playing in one of the S P T qualifiers earlier today and something strange happened. My hand was raised and I was unable to see my cards. I dont need any action done nor am I going to complain as the blinds were 20/40 and I still had my 3000 stack so the 120 chips didnt affect the game. I obviously had to fold when it came round to me after there was a caller as I still had two cards face down and I would be betting blind. I folded and continued the game with no other problems but what would happen in this situation if it was at a later stage of a tournament?

    Can anyone tell me how to win a hand with K K. I have played them in as many different ways possible since June 2009 and have managed to win less than 5% of the time. One site in particular I find they almost never win. The last 6 times I ve had them they have lost all in pre flop. The odds were that bad that I stopped playing them for 2 or 3 months but after an update saw that they were fairing better but the last 2 months have convinced me that its best just to fold them.

    Basically its much quicker and is a big help to those who multitable.  Also should stop all those annoying disconnections that some players have been experiencing as t takes up less computer memory.
