pkr.com – Multi Tableing

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Thursday Dec 25th, 2008

www.pkr.com - This is a phenomenon which has only become possible with internet poker, as it would not be possible to play numerous live games on different tables at the same time.

Most sites offer the option to play multiple tables, and players who are skilled at the game seem to feel that they can maximise their profits in this way, provided they turn a profit playing one table at a time.
In some ways I can see how this could be the case, as you are playing profitable poker in multiple rooms. Having said this though, there are a few obvious problems with this I feel. Playing profitable poker requires great concentration and awareness of what is going on around you, and why.

I can only speak for myself of course, but I feel that when trying to skip from one table to another quickly to fold or play your cards, you would lose most of the things that make your play profitable in the first place.
I would certainly have difficulty believing that you could play just as well on six tables as you would if you concentrated fully on a single game. For this reason, multi tableing is not something I do very often, and when I have done so, my results have not been as positive as usual.

Everybody is different though, and perhaps some are more adept at this than others because they have had more practice. Either way, my belief remains that people will play worse poker when trying to play many tables at once.

pkr.com – Modern Day Poker

www.pkr.com – When looking at the way poker has changed in recent years, memories come back for me, of a simplistic game of Five Card Draw I played when I was young, on a hand held computer of some sort. I did not understand how to play at the time, but found it interesting nevertheless.

Little did I realise that what I was playing on was a simplified version of what we have developed up to this point in time. We no longer need real decks of playing cards to participate in poker, and computerised forms of the game are easily accessible in online poker rooms.

The graphics and elements of choice we have with these games are growing ever better, and consequently these games are becoming increasingly popular. There are even phones in the modern day with poker games on them, not to mention computer consoles too. But I do not think that these games are good for developing your poker game, because in most cases, you are playing against the computer itself.

In the case of poker games on computer consoles, they are easy to beat in my experience, because they do not have the capacity to alter their way of playing to combat an effective method of play from the human opponent. Playing in online poker rooms is a different story however, and I certainly feel that these games offer good poker experience. Regardless of this fact, I have always been an advocate for a good old fashioned, real deck of playing cards, with real opponents. this provides the game of poker in it’s purest form, and we should be careful that computerised versions of the game never overhaul the live game entirely.
