    Default 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.
    In answer to your question... it depends...

    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.

    Downswinging holla!
    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.
