I am starting to regularly play two tables at once, although on my site there is not always enough fishy tables to sustain this for long. All the regular players move tables constantly to try and get position on the fish and it is hard work to keep a table going. I think the 5/10 players must descend to 4nl and 2nl when their tables go quiet.
I am finding multitasking o.k but I am occasionally timing out on one table, usually just after a big decision on one table when my mind replays a hand to look for mistakes. This is a mental game mistake I am working on and I am now using a jotter to note key hands to come back to later rather than replay them in my mind there and then.
I enjoy having lots of button clicking and thinking to do at the same time and two tabling has helped to reveal consistent errors in my game such as continuation-betting the wrong types of flops into the wrong types of players. I am also limping the small blind too often/calling the big blind so as to make open folding a better proposition long term with any two cards in the blinds! I suspect that in the long term playing the blinds correctly is the key to full ring success becuase you always lose from the blinds and you can maximize your gains elsewhere by minimising your inevitable losses.
I now have a system of game evaluation that means I can constantly target my weaknesses and seek to drive donkey plays out of my game. I have decided to only move up in stakes when I am CRUSHING my limit and not when I am on the cusp, as I did once before and got insta-slapped back down! I am playing with greatly reduced tilt problems now, and have made great progress using Jared Tendler's methods. I am also on the search for the best music to fuel a poker game and I generally balance my mood with heavy tunes when I am tired and mellow post rock when I am too amped. Gotta take it up a notch whilst taking it down a notch sometimes;)
