Why Mass Multi Tabling is Bad for Your Game

Why Mass Multi Tabling is bad for Your Game is that most players who are playing a greater amount of tables will not see differences in players at the table. If you are playing twenty tables at once you won’t see that a player at your table hasn’t played a single flop in a half an hour. The reason a lot of younger players who do mass multi go broke is because after getting their poker bonus money, they try and play every situation similar to the last, but in a game like no limit you can simply not do that. In this style of game to progress through limits you can play 6 tables and make just as much as if you were playing twenty. Also, when you are playing twenty tables at once you have to make split second decisions and over time it will wear your body down. After an hour of playing twenty tables you will see your eyes getting tired, and plays you are making will start to be more wild and aggressive. At this time is when you will start to lose more times than not, and experience some huge swings in your bankroll. You want to stay away from the virtual felt if you feel like this is happening or about to happen.

When you are mass tabling you lose the concept of bluffing and semi bluffing. You cannot correctly pick spots where you can make a bet to win the pot. When you are playing too many tables and seeing too many hands at once your brain is working at a speed where it will eventually halt and crash and burn. When this happens and it will, you will have to think to yourself if you should cut down the amount of tables, or cut down the amount of time you sit down to play. The answer most of the time is both. When you are sitting for hours staring at a screen and playing a lot of tables at once you will be drained in every aspect.

Playing more than 4 or 6 tables is doable, but the best way to go about it is take trials, and have a good sample before you can move up and play another two or four tables. If you can move from playing 4 to 6 tables with ease then after another 10,000 hands or so at 6 tabling you can move to 8. Playing more than 10 tables at once depending on the game can be harmful to your play though because after 10 tables it is more so nonstop clicking, and you can lose value for one or two hands. Seeing these couple of hands, and losing some value for them over the course of a longer session can hurt you after the session. If you look back and see that when you had AA, the other player had KK, and you didn’t get all their money in the pot. You will surely be upset with yourself after looking back. To be able to begin playing at lower stakes six tables should be a good precedent and amount to play. Playing six tables can allow you to focus more rather than playing a lot of tables where you are just clicking and not thinking hands out.
