Question about multi-tabling...

I hear all the time about these pros playing 30-40 tables at a time online.

How the hell is this even humanly possible? Multiple monitors? Multiple mouses? I just don't get it.

For anything more then 4 tableing you need to use hot keys or table ninja. There are also a lot mouses designed just for poker as well.

You are giving up so much EV playing 30 - 40 tables at a time.

BUT

If you have a good rakeback deal that can then turn you back to the plus side.

I have a friend who played about 30 tables at a time....real ABC poker (you have to really) but at the right levels and the right site with the right rakeback he makes a profit.

He comes down and sits with us at a live game in Atlantic City every once in awhile and we can tell he is tilting with bordem after 30 minutes.

Hard to go from 30 tabling online to playing live.

should say plays not played

he still plays about 30 hours a week

I still don't see how playing 30-40 games at a time is even possible.

Anyone got any video of these pros doing it?

I'd love to see the setup.

You have to be mentally ill to attempt that, regardless of the rake back.  And if you actually were not bothered by that insanity, I do not see how you could ever sit at a live game again playing just one hand at a time. 

i just had a seizure from watching that video

get an account on pokerstars and click on the link to watch the pros.  there is one pro named "spacegravy" who i have seen play 10-15 tables at once with 100+ buyin each.

What kind of software do they use? Got a link?

I don't use any software. I just make notes on players as I go along, but obviously that doesn't help with newbies.
