    When multi-tabling, I find that I seem to pay more attention to table(s) where there is more "action" going on regardless of buy in or how deep some of my other tournies are. I hate that I do this. Do any of you do this too and what did you do to correct it?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    If I am really deep in a tourney, or playing a higher level cash game then my other tables, or have one where the game has crazy action, I will purposely focus on it more. But for accidently focusing on one more than others just randomly, that doesn't happen to me.

    mostly what above people said..if i'm deep,100-200 left from field of 2000+... i pay more attention to that specific table.
    if i'm deep in multiple tables..i pay more attention to the one that has most buy in..

    I am opposite, if I have a rebuy going i pay no attention to it what so ever. I will look down and see i have 15k stack and have absolutely no idea how I got it to that point.

    This BUT...

    when I am playing 9-12 tables at a time, which I rarely do these days, I won't only pick the ones I want to focus most on by how deep in the mtt I was but also by how deep my stack is. Say if I was deep in the 42k with like 100k at 1k/2k blinds, the 75$ super stack (with early antes so i'm active from the get go ;-) and in the 33ko/others with >15-25 big blinds I would have those surrounding the 2-4 deep stacks in the middle when I have 15bbs or less I just light the background with the vegas red and know it's time to go, I like to focus a lot more on tables that I have the most BBs on and keep the pressure on.

    That is probably the most succinct statement I have ever read as to what is wrong with Internet poker. Too many people just clicking away and having no idea what the hell is going on.

    Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Or, a person could "code" the type of table (MTT-beach scene, cash-Vegas, etc.).
