Today I tried four-tabling as hopefully I'll be doing that every session from next week onwards. It went great. I had no desire to open up IRC or any webpages, was focussed, and once I realised that when faced with a decision on two or more tables at the same time I could breathe and think and let my timebank tick down without the world exploding, it was an awesome session.
Here's a hand that scared me a bit playing it, even though in 3bet pots ranges should be tight and decisions easy, so I'm going to analyse it.
$0.10/$0.25 No Limit Holdem
6 Players
Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com
Villain was 24/21 over 67 hands with 15% 3bet. I'd seen him make such a squeeze once already, and his cbet took it down.
Stacks:
UTG Hero ($33.15)
UTG+1 frankvdg ($26.50)
CO lauran123 ($26.35)
BTN Odysseia ($46.15)
SB merlin1989 ($15.10)
BB generaatorM ($44.55)
Pre-Flop: ($0.35, 6 players) Hero is UTG  
Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, lauran123 calls $1, 2 folds, generaatorM raises to $4.95, Hero calls $3.95, lauran123 folds
Flop:    ($11, 2 players)
generaatorM checks, Hero checks
Turn:  ($11, 2 players)
generaatorM checks, Hero bets $6, generaatorM calls $6
River:  ($23, 2 players)
generaatorM checks, Hero checks
Preflop: He has a fairly high 3bet % and I'd seen him squeeze like this before (same bet size and everything), so I'm thinking he's maybe doing it with a range like: {TT+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs}. However I've no idea how accurate a range like that would be. In any event, I'm ahead of that range, and so I call.
Flop: In the last pot I'd seen him squeeze, he cbet largely on the flop and took it down. However I obviously can't know if that was a bluff or for value, so when he checks here I think I'm best to check behind, as a range that would be calling my bet is something like: {TT+, AsJs+, KsQs} against which I've got less than 40% equity.
Turn: When he checks the turn I think it's unlikely he has aces, and perhaps slighlly less likely he has KK or TT. So I bet here expecting his continuing range to be: {TT-KK, AsJs+, KsQs} against which I've got about 50% equity, but factoring in that it seems less likely he has a strong holding, I think it's an okay value bet.
River: T comes on the river, which means no flush draws came in, and certainly none are calling me. Which leaves my range here that I expect to get a call from as: {JJ, QQ, KK} against which I'm obviously dead even. I said that I think he maybe has KK less often, so perhaps I should've value bet here, but at the time I thought maybe he's slowplaying aces (unlikely) or something, so I checked behind.
