Some issues with multi-tabling

I don't have the problem. I'm acutely aware of the action buttons when they pop-up. I've never played stars, so I'm not used to the repeat beep I guess. I don't generally slow down the game, although sometimes I become really focused on a hand and run out of time on another table. But like once every few hours.

As for the tables sizes, you adjust them like any normal window in any other program. They have the arrow thing in the bottom corner. They also have a button right on the table now that'll auto-size and auto-arrange them on your monitor, pretty sweet.

I don't think this is valid advice, personally. I posed the question, but I already had my opinion on the matter. I don't really feel it's more important for multi-tablers to have a larger bankroll than anyone else. I personally like to have between 30 and 40 buy-ins, but I feel like I'm a bankroll baby. I'd think if anything, the variance multi-tabling is lower day by day.

Actually, I've always kind of thought the requirement system was kind of silly. You're supposed to have 20 buy-ins to play a limit...so if you lose your first buy-in, you have to drop back a limit. Now you have 38 buy ins for that limit. But what was the point of having 20 at the next limit? You could have moved up with 22 buy-ins at the previous limit, lost your first one, and moved back with 20 for the original limit.

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the idea behind protecting yourself and your bankroll, and I never play out of my bankroll (anymore). I also know that I personally play better when I'm not worried about my bankroll. That idea of 20 buy-ins just never makes sense to me, other than just a goal/landmark.
