@savingmoneyIN If he played 62 matches @ $6.50 each, total invested was $403, so a profit of $23 = 5.71% roi (Return On Investment).
A solid SnG player will typically maintain a longterm 7%-12% roi, but if you are multi-tabling 20+ of them like ElkY did then your roi goes down. 5.71% roi during this insane session = pretty darn good, actually.
how can u play so many tables at once ?? u have to make a decision in 20 seconds each table and it takes 20 seconds to go from the first table to probably the 30th table ...

@Oneill9293 the fact that you understand that is a skill, understanding the game well enough to even multi table is a skill, knowing which hands to play/fold is a skill, you see how that works? my point was poker is not gambling like a slot machine or a lottery ticket..the players with more skill have more success
@treezX please don't patronise me, you look like a dick. I know that it's primarily a game of skill. Half my conversations about poker is how it isn't 100% gambling. I was saying, playing 60 tables doesn't have much, if any, room for fancy plays pre/post flop. Your screen is up for a second and you have to call raise or fold & then one of the other 60 tables pops up with a new hand. His skills must've been more basic than a pro multitabling say 5 tables b/c there's less time for advanced plays.
@Oneill9293 wow...i wasnt trying to patronise you, you are misunderstanding...there is no need for name calling either...you ARE the one who asked if this takes skill
@treezX I think YOU misunderstood what oneill9293 was saying, he was referring to whether or not playing as many tables as Elky did, if it was possible for him to have any skill edge in this or just making absolutely basic plays. And to answers ones question, Elky probably just played extremely tight at the start and just used ICM calculations when he was short stacked. If this was a cash game hed have no chance, I can imagine you could only play so many tables in sitngos.
@BraceletAccumulatrT2 i understood his question, and the answer is yes it is possible to have a skill edge when you are playing several tables..if you disagree and think playing so many tables makes it impossible, thats fine with me
LOL the more he talks the more i can understand why he was able to play at 62 tables at once....he probably has 62 seperate ADHD diagnoses as well, damn

If those aren't the perfect set of nostrils to snort lines with I don't know what are. And can someone tell me why playing in 62 sitngos would even seem like a good idea? he could have made more money than 23 dollars by playing 2 tables and paying attention.
@Falcorren Ok but if I have to make a profit of 423 dollars means he lost almost 85% of the sit he was in.
Counting as optimistic first prize on 18 sits, he would have the profit of 423.
And as I said, that would be too easy to break that record.
Let's say.. I open about 70 tables, I fold every hand except monsters, I will surely be in profit or at least it will make me stay one hour inside the sit.
Am I correct?Yea,a profit of 23 dollars, but that isn't skill..is madness
@Falcorren massive grinding should be made to increase the profit, with 70 tables in that way you can't even concentrate on the hand you are given.
If,and I say if, someone opens like 70 table and maybe the record should add the rule: you must be ITM at least in 40% that would ask more skill than point and click in random way.
does anyone know if all 62 are 9 person sng's? it is so much harder to multitable those because they get short handed so much faster and u end up getting dealt more hands and having to play more hands. its easy to sit back and wait for premium hands at a full table but when u get down to 3 or 4 and ur supposed to play worse quality hands, and hands start going faster, it gets really tough to keep up.
ive watched elky play many times he is very very very very very good heads up maybe the best player not joking im a fan of sc and yes they need to have an apm (actions per minute) of atleast 370 for protoss 400 for zerg and 450-475 for terran so he has extremely fast hands.
I just don't get it, can someone please explain? Why play multi-table?
Instead of two tables 10/20 why not play one table 20/40? Instead of four tables 100/200 why not play one table 400/800? In the long run doesn't that make more sense?
Only explanation I can think is that there are more "live" ones in smaller stakes. But does that justify the downside?
Well this is the way I look at this. For me personally, patience is the key. If i'm sitting at just one tbl playing and getting little to no playable hands, for lets say an hour, this may cause to me to play a hand I normally wouldn't simply b/c I may become impatient. If i'm sitting at 4 tables i'm seeing more hands which equates into more " playable hands". Also by playing 4 tbls at once, it allows me to play what they call "abc" poker. I don't have to take as many risks this way, I can wait.
In other words, I don't have to try & run a 3 barrell bluff at the tbl i'm at. I can just fold and wait til I flop a set or get dealt a premium hand at one of the other tbls i'm sitting at. I'm essentially getting dealt 4 hands at once,and I can pick the one that I want to play,or I can play all of them til the flop, and if I fold 3 of them but win one of them i'm still making money. IMO, it allows you to play abc poker w less risk. I only call your raise if I have 44, flop comes no set no bet.
instead of trying to make a move w the 44,...like I said I would only call your raise, and if I don't flop a set I can easily fold ,and move on to the next hand. So in the end I believe multi-tabling allows you to play with less risk involved "abc" poker, which is a very profitable way to play a cash game. If you get impatient , this is the way to go, I personally play on full tilt , usually 4 tbls at the .50-1$ game (6handed) buy in from 50-100$ at each tbl and it is very profitable for me.
in elky's situation where he's playing one table sit and gos, it pays to be tight in the early stages as the top 3 get paid, therefore he's making most of his decisions pre-flop, the more tables you play (if you think make good decisions) you minimize the losses felt by bad beats, if you play a high buy in game, and get sucked out on, it hurts more than getting the slow but steady profit from reasonable multli-tabling
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL at this even being close to the record.
Wtf is this a level??
People grind 50+ tables all day, while actually making money. Any of these guys could easily add 30-50 more and play breakeven poker like this alien looking goof.
You'll have to be a real donk making lots mistakes at one table. Playing 50+ tables you'll miss alot of hands. Any winning player knows that 50+ tables is not a winning strategy. Unless you can stop time, you will not play your A game there.
if you are really good at multitabling then you should play a lot...thats the only way you will be a big winning player... if you play 5 tournaments a day you cant win a lot of money. the most i can play at a time is 25 so the more you play the more money you will be able to make. and what kind of mistakes can you be making?
Don't be silly, you can make money still playing at one table. Look at Negreanu for an example. And alot of the older players who still does well both online and live.
I'm not saying multitabling aint profitable. We're talking about 50+ tables. I play 4-8 tables at once and I'm fine. But 50 is overkill.
If you have multiple screens and pay attention you could definately make money on micro/low playing 50, but when you go up in levels 50 tables will not work.
multi-table shorthanded LIMIT cash games imo -- when you get a monster fish (super-callingstation or LAGtard) you can sit out on the other tables and focus on the one ATM until he leaves, then go back to the multi-table grinding steal-resteal-bluffchrckraisetheturn game, until a new monster fish shows up...
About the mistakes? Well, will you pay better attention to one specific table when playing multiple tables at once, than playing at only one table? No that is impossible. But as I ment before, it can still be profitable. If the game you can afford making mistakes and still make $
it cannot be profitable if you have a bad run because it could take you months to get back on your good run....when multitabling youll only be in a bad run for about a week at most....
Both single and multi-table can be profitable. You get bad runs playing single-table live games, and you still can make profit. It's about bank-roll management either way. If you have a 10,000 bank roll playing $100 buy-in tourney's, playing 50 at once is a bad idea. But have a 1,000,000 bank-roll and do it? Yeah, you can afford the swings...
You dont seem to understand this....Swings are the same if you multitable or singletable lol:> You dont seem to be a very smart man...You must be someone who wishes, he would be smarter and do these kinds of comments to appear smart to yourself.
Sure, make a personal attack instead of actually addressing the conversation, that proves your point. Call the other person stupid, make NO effort to prove them wrong, that's a good way to argue.
The point is still the same. No matter how many tables you play, you will still experience swings. The more tables you play, yes, the smaller the standard deviation will be assuming you can play at the same level (or at least a comparable level) given the number of tables you play.
If you actually READ the full comments, you would see that I was criticizing some other idiot who decided to turn an intellectual debate into something involving personal insults. Either read, and comment something that is relevant and helpful, or keep your mouth shut.
i just think ppl like you are funny having to type a story trying to prove a point, that is just making you look like a tool lol.. your stating pretty oubvious and stupid facts that no one gives a shit about thats all..
If the facts are obvious then why is it that someone was on here typing back and forth refuting the facts? I type enough to make my point, if it's too long winded for you then don't read it. It really IS that simple.
That being said, the more tables you play, the more strictly mathematical the game becomes, and the more important every decision you make becomes in a given table, because you will make fewer decisions on any one table.
Oddly, though the importance of the decision per table goes up, the importance of each decision in the grand scheme of things goes down, because you will be making more and more decisions with the more tables you play, therefore one bad decision will cost you less.
However, if you think of it in a sense of rolling dice, if you bet even money that a single die will come up with a 3 versus a 4, for example, you will break even . The more dice you roll, the more likely you are to break even, however, you are also more likely to experience dramatic swings due to bad luck and standard deviation. It's possible that you could roll five dice 10 times and not have a single 3 come up, and while that will rarely happen, when it does it will be devastating.
totally agree. its extremely hard to cocentrate . i tried running 4 at once at every 2 seconds i had to click somewhere. i was reckless clicking and completely removed from the game.

does anyone know if all 62 are 9 person sng's? it is so much harder to multitable those because they get short handed so much faster and u end up getting dealt more hands and having to play more hands. its easy to sit back and wait for premium hands at a full table but when u get down to 3 or 4 and ur supposed to play worse quality hands, and hands start going faster, it gets really tough to keep up.

ive watched elky play many times he is very very very very very good heads up maybe the best player not joking im a fan of sc and yes they need to have an apm (actions per minute) of atleast 370 for protoss 400 for zerg and 450-475 for terran so he has extremely fast hands.

I just don't get it, can someone please explain? Why play multi-table?
Instead of two tables 10/20 why not play one table 20/40? Instead of four tables 100/200 why not play one table 400/800? In the long run doesn't that make more sense?
Only explanation I can think is that there are more "live" ones in smaller stakes. But does that justify the downside?

Well this is the way I look at this. For me personally, patience is the key. If i'm sitting at just one tbl playing and getting little to no playable hands, for lets say an hour, this may cause to me to play a hand I normally wouldn't simply b/c I may become impatient. If i'm sitting at 4 tables i'm seeing more hands which equates into more " playable hands". Also by playing 4 tbls at once, it allows me to play what they call "abc" poker. I don't have to take as many risks this way, I can wait.

In other words, I don't have to try & run a 3 barrell bluff at the tbl i'm at. I can just fold and wait til I flop a set or get dealt a premium hand at one of the other tbls i'm sitting at. I'm essentially getting dealt 4 hands at once,and I can pick the one that I want to play,or I can play all of them til the flop, and if I fold 3 of them but win one of them i'm still making money. IMO, it allows you to play abc poker w less risk. I only call your raise if I have 44, flop comes no set no bet.
krazedcubbie79 2 years ago
instead of trying to make a move w the 44,...like I said I would only call your raise, and if I don't flop a set I can easily fold ,and move on to the next hand. So in the end I believe multi-tabling allows you to play with less risk involved "abc" poker, which is a very profitable way to play a cash game. If you get impatient , this is the way to go, I personally play on full tilt , usually 4 tbls at the .50-1$ game (6handed) buy in from 50-100$ at each tbl and it is very profitable for me.
krazedcubbie79 2 years ago
in elky's situation where he's playing one table sit and gos, it pays to be tight in the early stages as the top 3 get paid, therefore he's making most of his decisions pre-flop, the more tables you play (if you think make good decisions) you minimize the losses felt by bad beats, if you play a high buy in game, and get sucked out on, it hurts more than getting the slow but steady profit from reasonable multli-tabling

People grind 50+ tables all day, while actually making money. Any of these guys could easily add 30-50 more and play breakeven poker like this alien looking goof.

You'll have to be a real donk making lots mistakes at one table. Playing 50+ tables you'll miss alot of hands. Any winning player knows that 50+ tables is not a winning strategy. Unless you can stop time, you will not play your A game there.
densomtarhanhar 2 years ago
if you are really good at multitabling then you should play a lot...thats the only way you will be a big winning player... if you play 5 tournaments a day you cant win a lot of money. the most i can play at a time is 25 so the more you play the more money you will be able to make. and what kind of mistakes can you be making?
chesschampion94 2 years ago
Don't be silly, you can make money still playing at one table. Look at Negreanu for an example. And alot of the older players who still does well both online and live.
I'm not saying multitabling aint profitable. We're talking about 50+ tables. I play 4-8 tables at once and I'm fine. But 50 is overkill.
If you have multiple screens and pay attention you could definately make money on micro/low playing 50, but when you go up in levels 50 tables will not work.
densomtarhanhar 2 years ago
multi-table shorthanded LIMIT cash games imo -- when you get a monster fish (super-callingstation or LAGtard) you can sit out on the other tables and focus on the one ATM until he leaves, then go back to the multi-table grinding steal-resteal-bluffchrckraisetheturn game, until a new monster fish shows up...
simonjeste 2 years ago
About the mistakes? Well, will you pay better attention to one specific table when playing multiple tables at once, than playing at only one table? No that is impossible. But as I ment before, it can still be profitable. If the game you can afford making mistakes and still make $
densomtarhanhar 2 years ago
it cannot be profitable if you have a bad run because it could take you months to get back on your good run....when multitabling youll only be in a bad run for about a week at most....

chesschampion94 2 years ago
Both single and multi-table can be profitable. You get bad runs playing single-table live games, and you still can make profit. It's about bank-roll management either way. If you have a 10,000 bank roll playing $100 buy-in tourney's, playing 50 at once is a bad idea. But have a 1,000,000 bank-roll and do it? Yeah, you can afford the swings...

You dont seem to understand this....Swings are the same if you multitable or singletable lol:> You dont seem to be a very smart man...You must be someone who wishes, he would be smarter and do these kinds of comments to appear smart to yourself.

Sure, make a personal attack instead of actually addressing the conversation, that proves your point. Call the other person stupid, make NO effort to prove them wrong, that's a good way to argue.
The point is still the same. No matter how many tables you play, you will still experience swings. The more tables you play, yes, the smaller the standard deviation will be assuming you can play at the same level (or at least a comparable level) given the number of tables you play.

If the facts are obvious then why is it that someone was on here typing back and forth refuting the facts? I type enough to make my point, if it's too long winded for you then don't read it. It really IS that simple.

That being said, the more tables you play, the more strictly mathematical the game becomes, and the more important every decision you make becomes in a given table, because you will make fewer decisions on any one table.
Oddly, though the importance of the decision per table goes up, the importance of each decision in the grand scheme of things goes down, because you will be making more and more decisions with the more tables you play, therefore one bad decision will cost you less.
MrAndersonmm 2 years ago
However, if you think of it in a sense of rolling dice, if you bet even money that a single die will come up with a 3 versus a 4, for example, you will break even . The more dice you roll, the more likely you are to break even, however, you are also more likely to experience dramatic swings due to bad luck and standard deviation. It's possible that you could roll five dice 10 times and not have a single 3 come up, and while that will rarely happen, when it does it will be devastating.
MrAndersonmm 2 years ago
totally agree. its extremely hard to cocentrate . i tried running 4 at once at every 2 seconds i had to click somewhere. i was reckless clicking and completely removed from the game.
