Poker Lesson: Playing
Two or More Tables at Once
Author: Erick Lindgren
Most players eventually realize that it's fun and
fairly easy to play at multiple online tables at one time. Early
in my career, I played as many as eight games at once on a daily
basis. Here are some tips and instructions for playing multiple
games:
1. Increase the resolution on your monitor. You
can do this by right clicking on the desktop, then clicking on
Properties, then clicking on Settings. You can then grab the arrow
in the Screen Resolution area and move it to a smaller resolution.
If possible, use the 1,600 x 1,200 setting to get
up to four games on one screen without overlap. In order to maximize
your screen area, make sure your video card and monitor support
higher resolution settings.
2. Once you get into playing more than one game,
the best way for you to keep up with the action is to look for
hands you can fold automatically. Use advance actions. That will
help you pay more attention to the game you have a real hand in.
3. Play the same game at every table. It will help
you avoid mistakes in reading and playing your hand, and you'll
find it easier to get into a good rhythm.
4. Most importantly: Track who has raised the pot.
Make sure you make a mental note of this since it is the key to
how you will play your hand later. It sounds simple, but it is
easy to get in a pot and not recall who raised when you're playing
more than one game.
5. Make sure you take some breaks. When I used to
play eight games, I was an animal. I would run to the bathroom
and every screen would be beeping at me. Take a few breaks. The
games will still be there when you get back.
Playing multiple games is a lot of fun and I hope
to see you at the table. Or tables.
