Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1574195, member: 40397"] A 47in TV is still only 1920x1080 resolution at best. It's not the physical size that counts, it's the resolution. If you're stacking, then that's an acceptable resolution, but if you tile, it isn't good for more than 4-6 tables. For comparison, the rig I play poker on has three monitors, each with 1920x1200 resolution, for a total spanned desktop resolution of 5760x1200. Numerous threads and discussions on multi-tabling here, including some in this thread IIRC. Of course you would play 15 tables differently than 3 tables. But the more tables you add and the longer you play (and the better your skills), the better and faster you will get at decision making. When multi-tabling becomes routine enough, you'll still be able to make "fancy" plays just like you would at a single table. The problem is that beginners try to play this way from the start, and they crash and burn. You definitely cannot start out playing 15 tables like you would play 1 or 3 or 5. You have to work your way up to it, and the general approach is tighten way up and play pretty much bot-like until it becomes more natural, while adding tables very slowly. The whole purpose behind multi-tabling is, although you sacrifice some per-hand EV by playing a tighter range, you're giving up some BB/100 in exchange for a higher hourly rate through volume. And although it's been argued both ways and many feel that multi-tabling doesn't reduce variance, it does compress it into a shorter timeslice and thus reduces the perceived impact (you bounce back quicker). Also variance can be somewhat reduced just by nature of the tighter range you're playing. Plus, typically multi-table grinders are going to be earning rakeback or VIP rewards, so that they can be a break-even or even slightly losing player and still rake a healthy profit due to sheer volume that they couldn't possibly earn with just a table or two.
