how many Mtt's do you play in parallel, do you prefer to play one table or several in online tournaments?

I find when I start online tournaments I find myself registered in several tournaments at the same time and in the end I find that I can't make good decisions and I lose the caves easily, however if I concentrate on a single tournament I avoid a lot of mistakes and I place myself in the paid place often in one than several

Ideally it’s easier to play on one table. I do often however play on multiple tables on fre satellites.

I prefer to play at most one or two tables, I can't play more without losing my concentration.

Je préfère jouer à une ou deux tables au maximum, je ne peux pas jouer plus sans perdre ma concentration.
I also lose concentration when I go over 4 tables, I bust quickly, less tables I perform well

I like to only play one tourney at a time, ... could do 2 but I don't like it much,

...cash tables are a different story however, can play a few of those at once👍

I play up to 8 tables at the same time, but my sweet spot is 6 tables.
With 4 tables, I get bored and start overthinking.
This volume didn't happen overnight, I think it took about 2 years to reach 8 tables, gradually increasing.

Je joue habituellement dans deux tournois
I play 4 tables simultaneously, if I exceed 4 I start to get confused, especially since I only have one screen, I absolutely have to add another screen to play more tables at the same time

Most of the time I play at 2 to 4 tables, sometimes I play at more but it's difficult to keep track of them all.

Six tables is the minimum for me when I start a session , sometimes I have 8-10 , I play micro MMTs. This works for me , if you perform better with 1-2 tables go for it , just don't make the mistake to play hands you shouldn't because you are bored!

The main advantage if you play many tables is you will have deep runs more often..

When I was 18 I used to do 4 at a time, and concentrate hard. Now im in my 30s, still playing hard, but find it a bit dificult to keep up if you know what I mean. I think 2 is enough for me to still play at my best, while managing my opponents ! cheers!

MTTs: 6-10 tables—many of the decisions are almost automatic when the blinds are high and the effective stacks are shallow.

(Cash Games: 4-6 Tables. Needs much more reads on specific players.)

Up to 8 but things can get a bit hectic and I definitely miss getting as many reads on players.

If I play expensive tournament with more than $50 buy-in I definitely concentrate on that single tournament. But If I play cheap or freeroll I can play multiple tables in the same time.

For me, 5 tables are enough to play well concentrated and make good decisions.

Perfect, sometimes the tournaments take longer, so I launch 6 tables, sometimes more, but it disrupts, I have to take a second screen, I find that in my case, I have to do more volume to increase the bankroll

I usually only play one, maybe two at a time. I believe that poker is all about a lot of things, your cards being only one small part. That means I need to concentrate fully on what's happening around me. I can't do that if I'm bouncing back and forth between a dozen tables.

I only play on one table, this is because I only play on my phone or when I used my laptop I could play on up to 6 tables at a time.

I'm comfortable with 6-10 tables, and I play up to 12. I've played at 15 tables I think, but it was too stressful. I just wanted to lose in some tables 😅

yes; the worst when you focus on a table and the alerts from other tables, it stresses and sometimes it can happen that strong hands fold because of the time bank.

it's true, I noticed that you have to opt for the quality of games as much as the quantity,

I would say up to 4 tables is ok for me but 2 or 3 tables are perfect 😄

Everything comes with experience, I used to have the same thing, but over time the number of tables with comfortable play increases.
