I want to know how I got beat,Iplay one table so I can stop and see exactly what happens.

I do play free rolls as multi tables.

Iplayed a lot of sit@goes and found the multi-tablers were killing the pleasure.

Yes I play for pleasure...always have.

I'll take your money,but I'll feel bad about it.Unless your a Dick.

Exclusive dedication to big tournament.

to play freerolls you can play 3 or more at the same time
if it's a big tournament better play one table

Exactly to play freerolls simultaneously you can play 3 or more tournaments. But if it's a big tournament, I focus only on that tournament.

I started to fall into the only this time I will play more than one...next thing I know I have four tables open.
It is time for me to stop that and pick the one tourney I want to play and pay more attention to details. I find I end up seeing it is my turn to act and have only a couple of seconds to either fold or not. Not enough time...

Multi freeroll games is fine, but it can be a distraction when you get to the business end

I'll play between 4-8 tables, if possible. When its only 1 or 2 tables, I easily get bored and that ain't good for the game.

I'd say do what is comfortable for you. I do better when I play at one table, but typically I play multiple tables, call me greedy. Lot harder to concentrate also when playing multiple tables.

Play only one table

It may just be my impression, or the fact that I only play on my smartphone, but when I play at more than one table simultaneously, I notice a little sluggishness in the action at the tables, I'm talking about the App. It is worth mentioning that my Internet is very fast, so I believe that this slowness is caused by the application itself, or perhaps by the smartphone's memory. So, as there's money involved, and I've already lost great hands, with the contribution of these little problems and even disconnection, I decided to play only on one table at a time. It may be something that only happens to me, but I decided to share my opinion with you. 🤙

I think it's normal to play only one table, it doesn't mean that we are at a disadvantage to those who play more than one table, the most important thing I think is the capacity and ability to play and have a ROI proportional to your investment. We can have a high roi even playing one table, and the same can happen when playing multiple tables and having a negative roi. for me, playing multiple tables would be good in the long run with more experience and skills acquired.

I too prefer only one table play but sometimes influenced from all the pro's around (or tilt) I tend to play 5-6 tables

I mixed it. It depends also on my bankroll. If i make a to big withdrawl and i have less money i could play only one table. In the weekend and in the evening there are sometimes more than one freeroll at one time, so i could play more than one game. And in the end of the day i play only one table.

I like to play at 1 table, it is interesting for me to watch the game of the slot as a whole. Maximum I open 2 tables on the screen of my computer

I personally prefer playing 1 table at a time, it allows me to focus more. I find that when I play multiple tables I'm doing it to have more fun so when I do it's normally low stakes and freerolls only.

Jugar en solo una mesa?

Considero que si deberías mantener como mínimo 2 mesas activas en todo momento, a menos que vayas conduciendo o estes ocupado.

I found it impossible to have decent focus on several games when playing from my phone pokerstars app. You can see one table at a time and switch between tables, but you can't follow either game really well and blinking prompts to action cause impulsive irrational decisions. When I play on computer and there are no outside distractions, I have several tables open across my 2 screens. Then it can be totally possible, especially if at least one of the games falls through in the early stages.
In general, I find it boring playing 1 table at a time, especially when other players are in no rush and exhaust their timers...

If there is an understanding that there will not be enough attention to the thoughtful game at several tables at once, playing at one table is not only normal, but even mandatory. I think so. Otherwise, the bankroll will begin to decrease very quickly.
