First time 4-tabling 90 man SNGs
Last night I 4 tabled the $6 90 man KO SNGs on FTP for the first time.
The session didn't quite go how I had hoped, I played horribly. I don't think it was the 4 tabling that was the problem, maybe I was too tired or just had an off day. I did accumulate some chips in 3 of the 6 games I played but I made some stupid plays and also met with stiff resistance to most of my moves in the later levels and the blinds got to me in the end.
On a positive note I didn't let the frustration get to me and I didn't tilt, stayed at the buy-in level for my BR and got some knockouts along the way (covered atleast one of the buy-ins).
As for the experience of four tabling, I did find myself panicked a few times when I had 2 or three hands I wanted to play at the same time and maybe I could have taken a little more time to evaluate some of the hands better in order to play them optimally. I suppose these skills will come with experience and I'm certainly not put off by the experience and I'm going stick with it and see how it affects my results.
I know that some of the regs in this tournament will be 12 tabling and their results are excellent, I think these games can be very profitable and looking up some of the players you see night after night confirms this.
any advice for multi tabling tournaments, especially in the later stages when you need to make moves and play more hands, is welcomed.

thanks! I've been playing for bout 7-8 years, but never really with the required discipline to be a winning player. I can really see the advantages of just shoving, many of my problems in that stage come from open raising and the flop not hitting me. About what M does this play become correct, under 10?
I dont use i use BB, anything around 12 down this becomes profitable so long as you are still shoving with something. Under about 5 or 6 BB you want to be shoving quite wide as any blinds an antes represent a large percent of your stack and you stand to gain much more.
Ah the times of playing 4 tables
. How long have u been playing for?. In the later stages when the blinds start catching up dont open raise unless u really want a caller just shove. For example shoving 2150 into the blinds when they are 100/200 is perfectly acceptable. This has two benefits, people will fold out a higher % of thier range meaning you dont need to hit your flop and can do this wider. It also removes the need to make ANY decision later on in the hand which u will find very helpful when u start to multi table (more than 10 tables).
