Should I play several poker tables at a time

[Rosylly]

Yes, you should. It may be hard at the begining, but that's the way to be a better player and getting results. The more you play the less is influence of luck. So if you would play only 1 table you can don't have any results for a long period of time.

Two tables is literally nothing hard, start with that and then increase number of tables.

As far as we are able to manage the tools we have (software/hardware) and feel comfortable (numbed) with the number of screens or tables...
If a match or tournament is very good prize pool, I tend to stick on it only.

It is often boring to play at the same table, I prefer to play at 3-4 tables at the same time, I am busy all the time and have enough time to think about a decision.

I don't like to play multi table, I don't use any program so I must be seeing the table to know the lose guy the tight etc.

I played 4 tables last night for the first time. It's left me wondering how on earth do some people play 12 or 16.

Playing 4 I timed out a few times. Not often but it happened. Folded KQ, JJ and 10 10 preflop due to not acting in time as well as about 20 junk hands in a 5 hour session.

I also cost myself chips in other ways.

My redline (the money won when you bet and others fold) took a nosedive. I found myself playing more passively in general, and I was missing many opportunites where you can pick up chips with a little aggression here and there. It was much harder to notice these opportunities. My percentage of hands won was lower than usual.

In at least one hand I cost myself a stack by not having time to think back through the way a hand had played out so far as I was involved in hands at 2 other tables. Called all in with an overpair when villain had a set. Often it's unavoidable but this time it really was.

I don't know how people do double figures. How can you remember the preflop action, the flop action, the turn action, take into account position, stack sizes and what kind of player villain is while actively involved in 7 hands at once? It's crazy to me.

Boring but 1 table is best to get a read on other players. I was playiny 5 last sun 2 sites and missed caling QQ

Try to play just two tables and evaluate how this is affecting your game. If you see that it is running normally, try increasing it to 3 or 4. Whenever it increases, reduce the buyin value significantly to protect your bankroll. As you realize that you are playing well at that number of tables, increase the buyin value. Unless you are a bot, it is best not to play more than 4 tables.

It's not easy to play several games at time. You will miss some pattern from players that they can help you to read your opponement

 

[moriarty137]

start playing one or two tables and increase over time until you reach 4 from then on it's up to you whether you want to go for more or stay at those

 

[Dasha_21]

I try to play no more than 4 tables at a time

as a beginner it can be difficult to play many tables but after a while it is boring with only one table
