Multi-tabling
There's one thing that even the biggest sharks can't do in an offline poker room: Play at more than one table at a time.
At PartyPoker.it, you can take a seat at up to 18 tables, meaning more great action and even more chances to win. We call this 'multi-tabling'. It can be a little daunting at first, so here are a few short tips to get you started:
- If you've found a table you feel comfortable playing at, opening moretables of the same level could really pay off
- Start by playing a second table as close as possible to your favorite gameto help you learn at a level you're comfortable with – you could even play at alower level to make sure you take fewer risks
- When you open a second, take a second before you start playing to arrangethe windows to give you the best view of the tables on your screen; it's also agood idea to watch a couple of hands at both tables to get used to seeing twogames at once
- When you have lots of tables open, it's important that you make surethey're arranged to give you the best possible view of all the action: To dothis, use the tiling and cascading features, or manually resize the tables (werecommend you tile your tables to give you the best view, but take a look atthe other options to see which one suits you best)
- Turn on the 'Hand strength' feature to see your own hand's strength at eachtable; this will help you stay on top of the action and will assist in thedecision-making process
- Use the alert features, which will let you know when you have a great hand at atable and can assist you in big-pot situations
- If you find the flow of your games is going more slowly than normal, youprobably have too many tables open and should consider closing one or more
