Mostly a dumb question . . .

Peterr211 · Feb 28, 2009

Sometimes I choose to completely damage my chances of winning by dividing my attention between two tables . . . . . . . .

I often notice that my cards on one table seem to often hit . . . on the other table.

Has anyone else noticed this?? Like I said, it's mostly a dumb question.

Its a product of a small sample size.

PokerPete · Feb 28, 2009

yes...but if I were to pair my

hole card with a

on the board of the table I was playing... I'm pretty sure I'd be yelling "RIGGED!!!!!"... when I pair it the other table's board

, I just kinda sigh and think "dang, wish I could swap hands"

dropdead1 · Feb 28, 2009

I totally agree with this...if only I could swop cards....or tables! I also find that if I've got AQ of AK and I dont hit the board and end up having to fold that the next hand the flop will be AQA or AKA..and I will be holding the "poo" that hit the board the previous hand....murphy is sooo mean!!!!!!

by splitting your attention to two different tables you are not dammaging your chances you actually multiplying them. but the thing that i fail in, is adjusting my game to the different stacks i have in each game ,and by doing that demmaging my own style. but i know some people who can devide their attention to three even four games at once... any advice on how to devide my attention?

selective memory.

maolitas · Feb 28, 2009

yeah it may happens to me too.
But also, when I ony play in one room, something bad can happens to me too: I get bored because I don't have enough hands to play, finally I play a crap hand and get cracked!!

mallyworld · Feb 28, 2009

Gee, I am glad I am not the only one to notice something silly like that. I also notice it when I am just watching one of my friends play that his flops are great ...with my cards.

It has happen to me alot when i play multiple tables. Annoying as hell at times isn't it?

Multiple tables...

Boredom is a major problem in most online play at one time I was playing 4 to 6 tables at once this caused a multitude of problems with my bankroll... I have found other things to do other than open other tables and start throwing my bankroll at the other players I mess with music or some other thing to keep me occupied... I play pretty tight these days and dont see as many hands... Also I cut down on my time playing I found that I was playing so much that I was bored with the whole thing anyway...

nobunaga808 · Feb 28, 2009

Playing to many hands is to fatiguing for me.

Nickmond · Mar 1, 2009

I tend to play faster when playing on multiple tables, causes way more mistakes in my play

If you seem to have trouble keeping track of opponents when playing multiple tables, getting some poker tracking software might make it a bit easier. Also, remember that you do have a timer and you are welcome to use it. take a few seconds and think before each play instead of just going on your gut. Keep practising and you will get better at multi tabling

Peterr211 · Mar 2, 2009

Next hand cards are terrible too! But there, I at least pay attention to see if the pair would have been suited. I tell myself that I'm checking to see if the deck was truly shuffled . . .

Worak · Mar 2, 2009

It's a mere coincedence.....

If you play more than one table over a long period of time this must happen sometime.

It would be more suspicious if it didn't happen......

Selective memory makes you notice and remember it

- the brain is constantly searching for patterns...here you seemingly found one.

RedskinRunner325 · Mar 3, 2009

haha, ya, I've seen this in action. But I can't say I think much past "if only..." I mean, if you don't have the hand that matches the flop as your hand right now, of course there is a higher chance of those cards hitting in the flop... theres more out there (including the ones you have at the other table)

Snowmobiler · Mar 3, 2009

I use to play 12 sngs at a time,I got use to always having another table flop hit one of my hands.Just part of multi tabling.

Um, 12 is a lot! I think my 'worst' was when I was trying out a new site. I was in 7 games on 3 different sites using 3 monitors on two computers!

ihavea4 · Mar 6, 2009

wow, you guys are crazy with your multitabling... i haven't tried more than 4, but i usually only play 2 or 3. i've seen this situation before tons of times though, where my cards hit the flop of another table. it is kinda funny, and i wish i could trade hands, but eventually i'll get a great hand to hit.

Gobbs · Mar 6, 2009

Sure it happens...you always have a couple extra outs when you look at the other table's board cards.
