2 Strange Observations about Playing at Multi-tables
In playing at 2 tables at once, I made the following observations:
1. Doesn't it seem like most of the time the hand you get at one table works much better with the flop at the second table? As an example, I'm dealt pocket 4s and flip to the second table to see the flop containing two 4s. 2. I have noticed that it seems quite often I am dealt the same cards at both tables - most usually crappy cards like 7-2, 8-3, etc. One night, of the first 10 hands I played, I got the same value of cards 5 times! |

Distorted reality
Can't say I experience #2 a lot, but I definitely know what you mean about wanting to mix and match. But I figure with seeing that many cards at once, you can't help but imagine all sorts of winning combinations. This is exactly why I don't play Ohama.

Its actually nothing weird: If you hold 2 4s, that means theres only 2 4s left in the deck on that table, while on the other table, there may be 4 4s left in the deck. Therefore, a lot more likely that the matching cards fall on the other table.

Indeed, if you could only drag and drop cards from one table to another......oh, the royal flushes we could have.

of course you experience this, because your mind makes you remember them. just like you remember your bad beats more than just your losses. i however have never experienced matching the same hand on different tables 5 times, you're on your own there.

Yeah - I think that was the weirdest thing - matching hands on different tables. And they were all crappy hands!

i have defintely had matching hands, before, but i think that i just remember them because i thought it was strange.
when i play four tables at once, which i dont do very often anymore, every once in a while i would screw up and play a hand based on the flop on a different table. that was never a good thing. |

I think about it this way:
Since I'm playing online, I am playing alot more hands that I would be playing at a B/M casino. Because of this, I am "seeing" crazier things. On top of that, if I'm playing multiple tables, not only are things happening a lot quicker (more crazy stuff will come up), but I continually see two different hands / flops at a time. Which, in a way, multiplies the crazyness(?). Oh well.

Ya!
I totally see both of those things happen all the time! I do think it is my mind playing tricks .. making associations, for instance, maybe a K matches up. Well a pair of Kings is not exactly an aewsome hand, but since it is better than what I missed on my table, I am like "If I only had that flop here".
The funny thing is when you start convincing yourself that it is shifting, and all of a sudden you go on a rush on your first table, and the cards do not match up on your second one.. **OR** When you notice the flops better on the opposite table every time, and then you get the same hand on both tables, and expect to make a monster hand on both, because the flops had been matching.. heh. |

Once when multi-tabling, I got dealt J,9 offsuit, but same suits on each table.
I would have folded both, but played both just because. Flopped the nut straight on both tables. Very odd. Very lucky
