Hello all!I recently switched to 2-tabling the 22$ instead of 1-tabling the 33$ (3m levels - 75bb starting stacks. Valueback and bonusses more then even out the rake gap between PS and Ongame). Everything started very well, and I started on a heater going 20-3 in the first 23 2-tabling games. But the last 100 games I'm only winning around 45% af games, and I don't feeling like I'm getting particular bad cards or getting coolered more then usual.My stats:22$ single-tabling - 500 games - 57% winrate - 13 Eff. ROI (without rake)33$ single-tabling - 744 games - 56% winrate - 12% Eff. ROI22$ 2-tabling - 122 games - 52,5% winrate - 4% Eff. ROILast 100 games - 45% winrate - -10% Eff. ROIIn the last 100 games I have had a 17BI downswing in 70ish games. This could be variance, but I tend to believe that my play 2-tabling is subpar. At Ongame 22s the playerpool mainly consists of either very loose (70-100% VPIP OOP) aggro players or very loose semipassive players. Most players limps alot of the buttons, and calling raises.When 2-tabling I feel like I miss out on important information which can help me be more exploitative. I tend to become passive, esp. when losing because the average villians calling freq. is so high. I become timid in my play, and fit/foldish which even the biggest fish tend to be able to exploit. I feel like I can't focus when 2-tabling, and then I end up not having exact reads on either of the players.Do any of you have tips too A) Become better at multi-tabling (I succesfully multi-tabled 16-tables of SNGs - lowstakes) B) Being more focus ingame (my session is 20 minuttes long, with 2 minuttes break in between. Max. 5 session before half an hour break) C) Dealing with Villians who always call, and who often attack when checking back.
A) slow down on both tables have a quick tink for a second about each decision you make even the trivial ones focus as much as you can. games might run a bit longer but wont matter too much as a lot of lower stakes players are pretty clueless endgameB) value bet everything treat second pair like top an go for 2/3 streets of value. these guys are probably calling with any kind of draw any pair over cards you have to make them pay. if they often attack your checks checkback good hands and call there turn and river bets. if they fold to some Cbets you may aswel bet your air on the flop as its your only way of wiinning.so bet your air and check your good hands :)hope some this helps good luck m8!
Thank you for answering hotrock.Slowing down on both tables is def. a good advice - and is something I'm trying to do. But often I get into the mode of just clicking buttons.I def. need to vbet closer on the river, but checking back my strong hands, and betting my air is prob. very -EV against these players. Because the very often call my flop cbet, and giving them 10-20% free equity by checking back when they would call anyway isn't going to be good. But I def. need to be more focused on who attack my relentlessly and who doesn't, so that my chback range is more balanced against these guys.
i was talking about a certain kind of player obviously against a str calling station it would be very bad to check back good hands this frequently but as you were saying how do you deal with people who are silly aggressive and who always attack when you check trapping these players is very profitable
