In tournaments 4. Unless I'm playing zoom and in that case only 2. I find anything more than that I start losing concentration and missing things.

In the past, two large monitors could run 8 tables at the same time. I moved away, now I only have 1 monitor here, I play on 4 tables.

4-6 tables I manage to be focused and seeing what happens in the hands that I do not play, when I have played more tables I completely lose concentration and my plays do not carry the analysis of why I do it

1 for me, 2 if i'm forced too. I don't play to try maximize profits or to lower the variance. I want poker to be stress free & fun. I don't need to be clicking table after table, timing out, missing hands, i don't see that as fun.

I prefer to play 1 or 2 tables at once. There are times when I play 3 but it can get stressful and I feel like I can't focus on performing well. Also, this way it is hard to get to know the other players and make stategies based on their performance.

I feel comfortable at 7-8 tables at the same time to keep my A game alive

If it's just poker then I can play between 9 and 12, If I'm drawing something or got some other things to do then it's just 6 tables - on the secondary monitor. Used to play up to 16 tables, had APM tester installed (Actions Per Minute) and was able to keep around 130 APM during first 4 hours, then APM starts to fall down... fingers getting tired. More than 16 tables is hard to play, I guess larger screens and better setup are needed.

I find more than two tables get a little confusing.

I'm comfortable with a maximum of 4 tables, not more.

Otherwise my mind definitely wouldn't handle all that information at once - causing irrational decisions (especially in hyper/turbo tourneys) o_O

I think it's still good to play on 2 tables, but in 4 table tournaments we already make a lot of mistakes.

One really, any more and you have to lose some concentration. 4 or so can be easy enough to navigate, but it does get mentally tiring.

I play 4 or 6 tables, and I can handle them perfectly, but if I play more than that, I lose concentration and there is no room on the screen. I play from my laptop, and it works for me.

Every once and awhile I'll play up to 6, just for the challenge.

Two tables are comfortable, but this rarely happens. Mostly four or more
