You just load up the table and the rest is done for you. You will be prompted when to take action so you don’t have to worry about switching from one table to another, unless the action is slow and you want to take a look at the other tables.

I suggest giving it a try at the $3 SNG’s that way even if you get up to 5 tables and don’t cash you aren’t breaking the bank. I did that and it wasn’t long before I was back up to the $12 + $1 SNG’s…

Interesting...

Do you have to do anything to "stack" or is it the default way that the SNGs pop up (via priority). I know some sites pop up the most recent prompt to act, so those sites wouldn't be useful.

The only problem I see with stacking is the same problem I have with multitabling...you give up some reads. But its a different style of playing, and as I've said a dozen times:

Poker is a million different games to a million different people.

An excerpt from the PokerNerd:
——–
There’s a new trend in the past few weeks in multi-tabling called “stacking”, which is particularly attractive at Poker Stars, with no table limits and action always popping up to the front in turn. I think we can give credit to a player named RainKhan, who apparently has 30-tabled the lower limits. I’ve tried this in the past few sessions and have been able to get up to 20 tables at the $60′s, but mostly 10-15-tabling. There’s been some talk about it at the 2+2 SNG message board, but I’m pretty sure it’s a bad idea for the non-ADD repititive-task-freaks in the audience. Once I’ve done this for a while, I’ll try and throw togther a tutorial on effective “stacking” techniques.

So, Jordan, in essence, you load up multiple tables and the table with the most urgent action required pops to the front. As soon as you make your decision on that table, if another table requires your action it pops to the front…and so on and so forth. It’s basically multi-tabling, but stacking all the tables on top of each other. Takes some getting used to, but I was 5 tabling SNG’s last night and still able to listen to music. Chatting was a no go though cause after almost every action taken, another action was required. It’s great if you are bored with 1 or 2 tabling. I’ve only tried it at Stars…other sites might not work the same way…they might just pop up whatever is the newest action which could be annoying when trying to take action on the current table you are on…

Anyway, as far as I understand it, that is stacking.

I'll fix that Kaellinn. I recently moved some links around, and it must have been an oversight. Thanks for finding it. Kaellin is one of those blogs I was talking about. Matt on Poker. Good stuff.

I believe that I am the current specialist in the comeback game. I’ve entered into a WWdN game twice with my last $11 to come in 2nd and 3rd respectively to keep the bankroll alive.

Also, didn’t you used to have me linked up over there on the side? I seem to be missing.
