hi im quite new here. i just wondered how many tables people feel is a good number?
i play 2 normally on 2 screens , sometimes 3 or 4 but rarely. i find that more than 3 or 4 everything starts going wrong!
does it depend in the game as i hear people m.t 8 to even 16(or more) tables cash! but i normally play double or nothing sit an goes an mtts. will this make a difference does anyone think? as the double or nothings are 6 man decision making comes round quickly
thanks for any opinions!!
Which multi-tabling method is better? It is rather a matter of personal choice. If you are just getting started with multitabling, then I suggest you experiment with both methods and see which one suits you best. In general, your goal during a multi-tabling poker session is to minimize the number of different factors that affect the game as much as possible. If you have to think about strategic opportunities every time you move from one window to another, chances are you will face problems that will lead to a decrease in your earnings. Here are some things to consider when multitabling:
And while playing poker in this way can lead to predictability of your moves, you do not need to get the maximum profit at every table, you will only need small wins, which will be compensated by the number of games. Plus, more hands played will result in more range in a shorter amount of time, making it easier to deal with variance. When playing at the high limits, you prefer to play at fewer tables, as more experienced poker players will easily notice and take advantage of your predictability.The disadvantage of this method is that if you are left with a short stack at several tables at the same time, it will be much more difficult for you to make the right decisions, since there will be no time for this. Another disadvantage of this strategy is the fact that you have to complete an entire block of games before opening a new series. When playing at the high limits, you prefer to play at fewer tables, as more experienced poker players will easily notice and take advantage of your predictability. for the most comfortable game, I would recommend 6-8 tables. to make the most correct decisions

It also depends on the time bank and default action time. For the rooms I play in, it is limited, so I play only 2 tables at a time. And it has become a force of habit so I continue to play only two at a time. If it's an important tournament, I only play one.

It depends on the game type and speed + your style of play. Like others have said, playing too many forces you into predictable patterns and doesn't give you the opportunity to recognize how others are playing.
More than 4, and even 8 or more is doable but might be aggressive for someone who is not playing every day or does not have a strategy down. Remember there is no pressure to play multiple tables. You will see far more hands per hour than in a live game even on a single table. So I would encourage anyone to only expand when you are comfortable doing so, and if inquiring - 4 might be a good spot to see how you feel.
A tip might be to view chips in increments of Big Blinds rather than $ amounts. It can help to normalize and adjust as stacks get bigger or if you have tables at different stages.
If you are more experienced, go nuts and have as many as your screens and eyes can handle! Good luck

There are cool players here who play several tables, but once I tried to play spin & go on my phone (these were 3 tables) and I won only 1, I didn't have time. 2 still managed to win. I guess I'm not good enough for this game yet, but someday I may succeed. In general, it is very difficult, ask ELky

The only times I've ever done 2 tables, it's because I've either accidentally started 2 games, I'm playing a sit and go when a scheduled tournament starts, or usually, because I'm playing one freeroll on 888 and one on pokerstars.
If I'm lucky, I only end up messing up one game out of two.

I frequently play multiple tables. Usually on multiple sites. I'm a bit A.D.D. I guess. Usually I'm also playing some other kind of game and watching TV too. I just get bored waiting out my hands. So multi table is the only way to go for me 😊. Find what works for you though.

It depends on the day, but personally 2 is my number. Keyboard shortcuts help, especially in turbo events.
That said, last night my head was all over the place (work related stress probably) and I could not focus, tilted on a couple of hands and I was in bed an hour and a half after I started. I should know to be well rested and have a clear mind when doing this but sometimes I choose to forget and try my luck.

When you're grinding multiroom using different poker clients,it's hard to play more than 8-10 tables.But if you have multiple monitors,a powerful computer,and use eyeglasses for those with poor eyesight, this task becomes feasible.For a full poker session,you need to play a lot, at least 30 tournaments in 8 hours.

Was playing several satellite tournaments that are not usually running but happen to be running simultaneously to my usual games. Had about 8 to 10 tables running at one point. Makes it harder to pay the necessary attention to the table to find the guy that is always shoving or something unique that I will pick up with my preference of 3 or 4 tables. I find that it’s very hectic playing so many tables and I give the utmost respect to those that do so successfully. I imagine many use a HUD. Obv those players must be super focused and play a specific game plan. I have swayed away from a HUD because I think eventually they will be eliminated and I’m trying to learn the game still, so I would rather develop my game without artificial intelligence.
Ideally 2- 4 tables allows me to give ample times to to study the tables and the dynamic of each.
