Mistakes Multi tabling

How many of yous make mistakes multi tabling, not talking about bad plays or bad calls etc, but clicking wrong buttons, timing out etc. im used to 4 tabling, but i keep making mistakes 8 tabling, just before i folded a full house by mistake wen sum1 was really betting in2 me, clicked the check/fold button by mistake as there was so much going on. Thats just 1 example that happened about 5 mins ago, theres been quite a few others, think i need a bigger screen this is too small.

Do other ppl make these mistakes?

keep practising. Build up to 8 tables, don't jump in

after 4 you really should try to buildup a bit more progressively. for the sites i play at, going from 4 to 5 was a challenge because it meant actually using both monitors at the same time. once i got used to the peripheral vision expansion that is necessary for that approach, i have been able to add more tables.

I folded AA once on the button in a raised/reraised pot while 6-tabling. That was a pretty awesome move on my part.

Me too, if I'm doing 5 tables, I still use one 17" monitor, 4 in the corners, 1 in the middle with a good amt of overlap.

I have an external 19" hooked up but I don't think I can handle it yet

I'm currently trying to play 6-8 tables 6max at a 19" screen. It's fun compared to 4-tabling. 6 is alright so far, but 8 is tough..

I use http://www.multitablehelper.com btw.

Does anyone know about 20-tablers? I guess Gabe's 12-tabling 6Max is pretty much the maximum (for a non-machine)..

To clear this up for others, this was not a mistake made due to multitabling.

Heh, I've done a little bit of 12-tabling 6-max myself, both on party (lowish stakes) and on stars. Been 9-tabling 6-max lately, but I see myself building up to 12 eventually. It's not that hard on stars, but on party where it goes faster, and you time out fold even when there isn't a bet on you, it's tough.

I 6 table 200nl on Party, and sometimes I'll be in the middle of a big hand and I'll time out occasionally, but nothing ridiculous. Also, since I like to use the preflop bet pot button a lot sometimes I'll try to click it and the action suddenly gets to me and the box is replaced by the "raise" button and I'll accidentally min-raise. Those are it thought.

I find doing 8 tables of 6max simple but 9 tables get difficult but still doable. I just resize all the tables and play with them small. Before I switched to 6max last month I was 12-tabling full ring $200 with no problem at all.

I actually made one of my first mistakes last week multitabling but it costed almost nothing. I opened on the button with AJo the flop was Qx2 and I potted the flop thinking I had AQo. I lost to A2o. I've never accidently folded something.
