Playing Two or More Tables at Once

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.
