I've been cautious about playing multiple SNGs even at my level (0.04+0.01).
This morning I made a bonehead call (called re-re-raise with QQ and ran into KK (and a K9... go figure)) and was left with a tiny stack.
So I thought I'd start another table while I waited to bust out there.

Only thing was the second game was finished long before I bubbled out in 5th after the blinds became a problem. Went AI with AQ and got beaten by AT.

Anyway, I've started playing 2 SNGs at a time now and it's been okay so far. The thing is it means I'm paying less attention; and I'm pretty much playing my cards and am not developing reads on players.

Are reads important at this level when most players play fairly inconsistently and people bust out so quickly you don't get a chance to note much?

Not sure if playing two at once is affeting my judgment. What do you guys make of this one?

Flop (9c Qc Jc):
Villain raises 72.00.
P3 Folds
Hero raises 288.00.
Villain calls 177.75 (all-in).

I can afford to put him all-in and even if I lose all it will have done is put us all on the same chip stacks. I didn't trust my gutshot or my overcard, so I calculated my odds at around 33% and was willing to take the risk (even if he had the guts to call me).

What do you think? Good move? Bad move? Worth a shot?

Blah blah Op Blah blah

At that level the reads probably arent as valuble as playing a larger volume of hands. Just keep an eye on the basics like who is bullyable, who is a calling station, who is a decent player etc. and you can probably get away with playing a few SNGs at once. If you find its hurting your game too much then drop back to 1.
