Of course you do. That's the thing - you lose an edge on each table which results in something like a 7BB/100 winrate rather than a 10BB/100 for example, but would result in making that 7BB/100 winrate several times over depending on how many tables you're playing.

I think it's just because they've done it for so long and players have gotten used to it and are able to pick up the information that they need in order to play and not just play well, but play winning poker.
I'm just curious as how players fit that many tables on the screen. I used to play on multiple tables a while ago, but looking to get back into it and get some more experience with the online game, after reducing my play significantly because of school. I just bought a 22" monitor for my 12" laptop in my room so I'll have more real estate on my display for multiple tables. I may play at different sites as well, currently on PokerRoom and Ultimatebet, and open up to others, just to have a different look for each table to make sure I don't get the tables mixed up.
There was one time, I was multi-tabling on PokerRoom and the cards that I thought I had for one table were actually for another table. The way I had the windows set-up threw me off. It didn't do any major damage,... | | Read Entire Entry |

I'm glad that only happens in theory. The truth is that there is so much fishing to be done at low to mid levels. I have personally found out that many times the action will be better at .10/.25 than .5/.10 atleast in pot limit omaha hi/lo.
But yes, once I get to the 0.5/1 tables, I would expect the players to be tougher.

Yes, but I think once you start multitabling heavily (4+), I believe you will miss out on key information. Of course a lot depends on the speed of the tables, there is a big difference between the once that play 120 hands/h and the ones that pay just over 50 hands/h, not to forget you... | | Read Entire Entry |

The way to learn to multitable is to start with one and add on more tables one at a time.
Remeber that there are many automatic fold decisions that can be done in less than a second. Also use the time button wisely. I usually press the time button before my time runs out, instantly make the required actions at the other tables and come back to the most critical hand at play.

Well tbh right now I only use a reload script, but have used others and am looking to use more.
I used to use a table opening script on Full Tilt Poker for datamining which was ery useful. I was looking for a bet pot script for PS but none of them work with my nice cardschat theme (they function by using images and custom themes require custom editing of the script which I don't know how to do).

PT and PAHUD seems to be the key to multi-tabling, but i'm playing on Bodog. PT & PAHUD dont support Bodog do they? is there any other program out there that can help with multi-tabling?

If you're serious about poker, multitabling is definitely something you should stress on for improvement. Winrate is key.
What other scripts do you use?

^^^^ This. PT and PAHUD will take care of the reads you miss while multi-tabling. Also, if you have these programs then do some data mining at the tables before you sit down.

I am currently learning to multi table on the play money tables. I can now play four comfortably, but I want to be able to play eight at once. Playing just one table, I have finally figured out, can be a real grind.

especially low stakes (that's where I play btw), most of the play will be ery predictable, and as you play more and more you'll recognize betting patterns. The players aren't that observant, so as mentioned you don't really have to mix it up much. Soon the plays will become second nature, you just have to quickly take in a couple things when it's your turn to act. Preflop note position, action before you, and obviously your hole cards. Postflop look at the action before you and try to remember what you did preflop, usually from the cards you have and the pot size you can tell (eg you have AA and there's 70 cents in the pot, you probably raised and got the caller because you would have re-raised if he raised to you). I would also recommend looking into getting PokerAce HUD if you don't already, it really helps with reads multi-tabling. You'll need pokertracker first (and apparently if you wait PT's coming out with a new one soon with a HUD, so if you don't have pokertracker, I'd just wait and buy the one... | | Read Entire Entry |

I'm sure you'll get better replies than mine ...
If you play the same strategy on all tables while multi-tabling then the decisions will become automatic.
i.e. AA-KK re-raise, QQ-TT 3xBB etc
Good luck
