first time I noticed cascading on Stars for sngs. Anyone else do this? How many can you handle? Normally I'm 10-12 tabling with tile (shrinking them as small as possible) can I get more in w/ better results with cascading?

How you set up the tables only makes them easier to access, not play your hands better. Not sure what else to say.

I put one in each corner on AP... obv huge overlap, but it works.

I hate cascade. I lose the table behind each other and.. it's just a mess.

I like to put one in each corner and on the bottom right corner I like to put my cashier to monitor my br.... So 3 tables playing reg. sized and the cashier is best for me...

Buy a huge monitor that has a high resolution. I'm a max of 4-table player, but I've gotten it to fit a lot more than that tiling.

Well it certainly makes a difference in how you are handling multitabling. I was surprised to see in the Rain Khan
30 table video that he was using a small screen so that only the table on which he currently needed to make a decision
was visible at any given time.

When I have lots of tables I like to monitor them all as much as I can even when I'm not involved in a hand. But I think
I might play differently if I was only focusing on one when it when time to make a decision. Has anyone tried the
small screen technique?

I don't know what cascading means icon_confused.gif , but I have two monitors. I play 4 on the monitor with no overlap and 3 diagonal on my laptop. Never thought I'd be 7-tabling when I first started reading here.

I thought you guys were all nutjobs when you talked of 4-tabling. tongue.gif I remember trying it with playmoney and timing out constantly!!

see I'm at the point of my poker sng career where I can pretty much crush small sng's 1-7$ buyins and can hold my own at 11s and 20s. I'm wondering whether I should keep working on my game and move up buyins or if I want to try my hand at massive multitabling the micros at Stars. I think I need to keep at option 1 for a little while longer. Cascading is crazy confusing yesterday I tried it for the first time, got to 15 tables on my laptop but only played break-even, maybe partly variance, but other people are telling me I should just keep working on my game and not worry about massive multitabling just yet. exactly how rainhahn would do it, 1 table showing and the little buggers would pop-up out of no where and I'd have a split second to react.

the problem with cascading is that you cant pay attention to any of the tables. when i multitable i switch from table to table every couple of hands and watch the action their trying to get a fix on everybody. having them spread out makes this easy to do. you notice a big pot out of the corner of your eye and you watch it and see who had what and how they played it.

your best bet to play lots of tables though is to get something like this.

with 1600x1200 res, 4 tables fit in just right... and then as needed, ill double up.

That's for AP or any site that doesnt have resizable tables. For ones that do, i can jam in like 10 with no overlap.
