Would like some poker strategies on how to play people who are playing 15 to 20 tables at once.Are these people playing with other peoples money- very few times they seem to make it to the money round any advice would be helpful. I find it easy to steal there blinds till it gets to the later rounds if they make it to them! But if they do make it there I find it harder to tell what they have because they seem to lossen up then!

Its a good strategy tazz, and generally how every single huge multi tabler will play, making automatic decision andf only playing a small tight range until the blinds get big.

Great to hear somebody asking a question about this!
You just described perfect SitnGo play. Playing the low buy-ins, it always amazes me that people have not read a single word about it.
It´s always a huge part of what i like about those SnG´s that they think I´m a tight, stupid idiot when I give them my blinds for nothing the first half, and just sit there like a rock. Then when 4-5 players are left I start going all-out and you can just "feel" that they don´t get what´s happening. Next thing you know, everyone is playing scared to your raises or all-ins, and you end up Heads-up.
Great question, most don´t bother understanding. A Tournament often plays the same way, it just takes longer.
Have a read on some articles via Google, and have fun with your results, which you´ll see improving in no time.

well i just think you can steal their blinds at the beginning because they dont care about 20 chips. the risk of loosing a great pot is just too high than to defend few chips. Later on they have an tight image they can use really good
