Very nice...ability to automatically tile and resize your open tables...FINALLY!!!!!!! Also, there are some new themes you can use as well as customize your own.

Me likey!!

I don't know how people can multi table. I tried playing 4 rings tables at once....best I could discribe it would be "organized mayhem."

*shrug* I'll stick to my one MT at a time for now.

Multi-tabling is a acquired skill set. It does not take much time to get use to though, in my opinion.

Four is a bit much. 2 to 3 games at once seems to work for me. When I play just one game a tend to get bored and get in hands I shouldn't.

Playing four tables at once means I get aces almost twice an hour.

AND THAT MEANS MORE MONEY FOR DADDY!!!!!

2 is good enough for me, anything more and it screws me up. Unless I'm in a tournament and then it's just 1 table...

Honolulu Blue · 07-05-2006, 08:09 AM

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't looked at my PS account in awhile; I'll have to do so soon.

On my multitabling experience, I can do two tables well enough with both ring and tournaments. The problem is that with two tables I'll miss some very subtle things that I'd likely catch if I was only playing one table (and paying attention to only that one). This causes a decrease in return for me that more than offsets the gain in hands played, unless I'm bonus hustling.

It's something I'll eventually work on.

johnnyshaka · 07-05-2006, 09:26 AM

I'm not a huge multi-table player either, but on my laptop, two tables is a HUGE pain in the ass when I'm seated in the same position, or close to it, on both tables...I HATE THAT!!!

primelord · 07-05-2006, 01:33 PM

For quite awhile I was 8 tabling the 3/6 6-max games. I even experimented with 10 tabling for awhile. What I took from that experience was that I could profitably play 8 tables at once, but that it decreases my win rate to the point where I can make more playing 4 and it was slowly eating away at my soul.

So I have generally settled into 4 tables of 6 max NL games now. Every once in awhile if I find tables just too good to leave I will get as high as 6 tabling and sometimes down to 3 if the tables are bad, but 4 is usually the number.

Honolulu Blue · 07-05-2006, 03:32 PM

I finally got a chance to look at the changes PS has made. Not bad. But I was far more intrigued to find out about the newest member of their team. Not whom I expected, and not where I expected either.

When I play ring tables, which is hardly ever now, I just play 2 at a time. I try to get tables where I'm in the top left corner at one table and the bottom right corner at the other, so it's easy to see.

But I mainly just play MTs now. Ring tables are boring to me.

GoldenEagle · 07-05-2006, 05:57 PM

I am doing 8, but that is limit full-ring, which in my opinion is the easiest game to multi-table.

Pumpy Tudors · 07-05-2006, 06:30 PM

I don't even know what my game is anymore, but I have 4-tabled pretty much every available game at some time or another. I had great fun once when I had two NL tables up, one PLO table, and one PLO8 table all going at the same time. The NL tables were relatively easy to manage, considering that I sometimes couldn't remember which Omaha table was PLO and which was PLO8. Oh, THAT was an adventure.

primelord · 07-05-2006, 09:04 PM

While we are on the subject of Stars updates, they are also working on rolling out a version that includes Razz, HORSE and HOSE.

You can check it out at:

http://www.testpokerstars.com

Currently they only are offering them as play money games as they work out the kinks. I am looking forward to the first FOFC HORSE tournament.

GoldenEagle · 07-05-2006, 10:31 PM

This is probably not the right thread for this but I thought I would bring it up anyway.

I have been making a ton of easy money by doing casino whoring. It is easier than poker in my opinion and the money is rolling in. I am having fun doing it as well. It provides a nice break from poker.

That would be awesome.

I think we ought to have a Razz tourney too just to screw with everyone's mind.
