anyone here multi-table no-limit?

[powerpoker]

i would if i had more money :wink: ..na for real i have tried it and it wasnt so succesful for me...espically if you misclick...in limit it will cost you one bet to miss click a call...on nl it could cost you everything...NL is so much more complex just stick to one table and run it just my two cents over here :roll:

I 2-table NLI had tried three, but that's a royal pain in the ass, and is -EV for me

[powerpoker]

i do agree that 2 is fine but unless you have a high tolerance for self pain i woudlnt go 3 that is where i also have lost a lot of money...by the way vade how are the nl games on full tilt i was thinkin of puttin money in an account there

The NL games there are great, and very soft.Usually the average table will have one big stack and a bunch of people who bought in for less then the minimum.People love calling down with crappy hands etc

I don't see that at all. I always found it pretty tight.

awesome...two completely opposite responses...woo...j/k...what level are they loose or all levels...i usually only play lower ones like .25-.5 and .5-1.00....lost a lot of my br when i jumped to the 200 max buy in tables

NL at FTP is pretty tight preflop, but still soft if you play smart and try to bust some of the players who won't fold premium hands after the flop. Probably the best strategy on the lower but not lowest limits (.25/50 to 1/2) is to actually loosen up a bit preflop, and go after the tight/passive players who raise only a little preflop with AA and won't fold it after the flop no matter how you bet. The loose players in NL there are probably the winning ones, IMO.-Yang

thanks...i am def a looser player preflop...SS2 made me that way...have done very well in home games since applying that knowledge...besides the NL games how are there sit and gos and MTT's

I 2 or 3 table shorthanded .5/1 (100 max) NL games. Seems to work okay for me. If there are donkeys, I'll just two table. I'll three-table if they're all SarahPlainAndTall, and I can beat them w/minimal effort.Ice

i four table NL on party when playing the 25NL or 50NL and sometime 100NL, although not normally...the lower NL tables on party are so loose that basic, straightforward play will get you paid off big time, people get married to tp. flopping sets in low limit NL is the most profitable hand imo. when playing anything higher than NL100 i definitely like to single table...the players are more difficult to extract money from. not saying they are much better, but there def. is a difference. unlike the super low limits, they respect raises a bit more. when you reraise all in on a 25 or 50 NL table preflop you will get called by a crazy amount of hands, higher up not so much but still pretty loose.

Last night, I was playing .25/.50 NL, when two key hands came up...(I'd been at the table for a while playing relatively tight.)Overaggressive player raised $3 PF. I'd seen him play A8os very heavy a while earlier. Another player just called. Everyone else had folded to me in the BB. I had AKs. I decided to raise them in for the rest of their stacks (each had around $20). I knew they had poor holdings, so I wasn't quite sure they'd call. However, with a tiny bit of hesitation, they called.The first guy flipped over 44. The second guy flipped over A5s. I hit a king and took down a big pot. Quite bizarre.Then later at the same table...A different guy (who has around $90) raises $2 PF from EP. Another guy (with $50) calls. I'm in the BB with AA. I have around $95. I decide to just go all-in. First guy folds. Second guy thinks about it for a really really long time. He finally calls and flips over 77. Again, I took down a big pot.
