Yeah, I'm going to move up to the 10s as soon as I play 100 games at the 5s at FTP.
Everyone I asked about the difference between. For me the 5s are really juicy...
I have 93 games there, w/ a 15% ROI (I'm playing two tables).
But I'm not starting at poker at all. I've been a cash game 6-max multitabler (6-8 tables) and playing just one table I think I start to be spewy... I actually watch 1 video before and 1 video after my sessions.
Even if you start to get fancy, I think it is better that you experiment and learn what works and what doesn't rather than just make the "standard" play across all of your tables. You can probably get away with it now at lower stakes but as you move up being predictable can start to hurt you. I'd argue that multitabling now is probably better for your short-term hourly, but long-term it might be detrimental.
I 2 table and sometimes 3 table. 2 tabling took me a couple of weeks to get used to. I suggest u single table till you've goy a couple of thousand games under your belt at a decent roi.
I see, but think w/ me: If 2-tabling I play around 15-20 games per day. If I single table this number will be reduced by half. It'll took me more than 2 months to play 1k games! oO
I read on here that people would rather 1 table but continue to move up stakes vs multi-table smaller stakes. I guess the real money isnt so much at the smaller buy in levels so why stay there longer than you have to?
What the others were saying is that when you play a small amount of games before moving up, you may just be running really good and not crushing as you think you were.
Having many more games under the belt single tabling will hone your fundamentals that will serve you better in the higher stakes meta game.
just play 4 tables ge tused to it. And see if ur ROI is fine for u after thousand games . From what i read above u seem to be a bit in hurry
so if u single table u ll make lots of mistakes cause u ll lose patience. At least 3 tables. but if u go above 500$ stake single table for now the amount would be high enough for u to be patient. just my opinion thou
OP, let's assume you're single tabling regspeeds for a 15% ROI. Assuming Kelly bankroll management, you should invest X = ROI / SD^2 = 0.15 / 1^2 = 15% of your bankroll in each game (OK Kelly is really crazy, you should use half Kelly or quarter Kelly but it doesn't matter ITT), so you should expect a bankroll growth of 2.25% after each game. Assuming you can play 4 regspeeds single tabling per hour, you can increase your bankroll by 9% each hour (9.3% if you always invest exactly 15% of your bankroll which is impossible IRL because of fixed stakes: $5, $10, $20, $30, $50 etc).
Now, assume you're double tabling them for 9% ROI. Now you invest X = 0.09 = 9% of your bankroll in each game, and expect a bankroll growth of 0.81% after each game. Assuming you can play 8 regspeeds/hr, you can increase your bankroll by 6.5% each hour (6.7% assuming ideal flexible stake levels).
Not to mention that by single tabling you can try out plays, get a feel on the opponent easier, think more about your play. Also 100 games is not a sample at all.
I think it's best to play only 1 table if your just starting, unless your spending a lot of time reviewing your HH's or something.
Everybody says that...

Ok, I've convinced me =)
Playing just one table at full concentration now!
You guys, that have been grinding the middle-high stacks, do you multitable? How many tables?
I 2 table and sometimes 3 table. 2 tabling took me a couple of weeks to get used to. I suggest u single table till you've goy a couple of thousand games under your belt at a decent roi.
