 |
|
A player is playing 12 tables at 1/2 limit and he never has chatted. I know of one player that playes on 11 tbales. He chats so he is real or at least he is real in one table. 12 is a lot of tables. The 12 table player plays 12% of his hands and the 11 table player plays 13%.
Against these rocks you can pretty much fold and get out of their way.
Any chance that one is a Bot? Does it matter?
Strategy is to have the nuts against them?
Thanks. |

For my quest (see signature), I also play 8 tables at a time. I have a VP$IP of 14% there, simply because I don't have the time/attention available to play marginal hands. Nor do I have the time to chat. It may seem like playing against a bot but it's still a real person.
I am especially tight in early position, folding AJo and also ATs if the table is tight. Best strategy against these players is to steal more pots away from them, most of them are prone to folding too much (not me). Then if they are still interested in the pot, you van usually put them on a hand quite accurately and make the correct decision.
Another thing to realize is that their read on you is 99% determined by your poker tracker stats. They hardly have any time to get a read on someone so you too can play very strait-forward against them. |

Sounds good William - thanks - I tried to play 4 tables at the same time and played about 12% of my hands. It did not work so well for me, since I am old and slow.  |

| If I am playing more than 3 tables at a time, I never have the time to chat. Even when I play 1 table I usually ignore the chat box. |

I usually play one table and disable all chats. I was wondering how he could play 12 tables. I don't expect to see a chat but I added that as a 'can't prover the negative' |

I can play 8 tables and still chat (on one table only  ) After reading Elements of Poker, I'm not inclined to chat anymore. But I'm finding I have this compulsive urge to yap at certain people. I'm going to work on that to improve my focus on the games. |
