Step-by-step guide
Follow the process in order, then check the room's current lobby and cashier terms before committing funds.
- 1
Start with a comfortable number
Begin with 2 tables and gradually increase. Most players find their optimal number is between 4-12 tables depending on game type and software speed.
- 2
Configure your table layout
Choose between tiled (all tables visible, smaller) or stacked/cascaded (full-size, one on top) layouts. Tiled is better for fewer tables, stacked for more tables.
- 3
Set up hotkeys and shortcuts
Configure keyboard shortcuts in RedStar Poker's settings for common actions: fold, call, raise, pot-size bet. This speeds up your play significantly.
- 4
Use auto-actions wisely
Set up auto-fold for obvious trash hands and auto-post blinds. But avoid auto-calling or auto-raising — manual decisions are almost always better.
- 5
Monitor your performance
Track your win rate at different table counts. If your per-table win rate drops significantly with more tables, you're playing too many.
Tips and best practices
- A dual-monitor setup is ideal for multi-tabling. Use one monitor for tables and the other for lobby/notes.
- A HUD is especially valuable when multi-tabling at RedStar Poker since you can't give full attention to each table.
- Cash games are easier to multi-table than tournaments because there are fewer crucial decisions.
- Start adding tables slowly. If you feel rushed or are making obvious mistakes, drop a table.
- Time-bank management is crucial when multi-tabling. Don't burn your time bank on easy decisions.
