Also prefer to play at the same table. I noticed that then concentrate better and get less nervous. I always admire people who play at several tables at the same time.

For a long time I played at one table, currently I play at 4, I think there are losses and gains in both styles, the question (in my opinion) is whether it affects your game or not, focus, notes... But in live poker I always play in one table! :)

The most advisable thing is to play at a single table if you start playing with many tables you cannot read your opponents very well

Totally agree with you! I, too, prefer to concentrate on one table than play at a large number of tables without thinking about my decisions! Good luck at the tables!
Thanks! Good luck on all the tables! :)

I think if you are just starting out OR if you are playing a particular tournament that you want to pay attention to, you should probably play just one table but I think it's pretty common for regulars to play at several tables, I could be wrong though...

Really sometimes depending on the distraction aroun me one table is enough.

Depends on what else I have going on at the time. Also how much I spent to be in any given tournament.

when important expensive tournaments, it is better not to multi-table.

Hi

Sometimes I play at several tables, however it is somewhat complicated since you must be attentive to the behavior of the players

I can get a bit bored only playing one at a time. But if it is an expensive tournament for you, maybe better playing one and focusing on it. I generally play about 3 at once.

Honestly... my concentration drops when I play at more than two tables simultaneously, and I end up making mistakes that lead me to make other mistakes at the other table which sometimes I find myself better placed, however.

Totally normal. Playing multiple tables at the same time is only recommended for really experienced players.

the main thing is that the game brings you pleasure. but how many tables you play is only your choice and no one has the right to tell you how much to play and where

Playing at multiple tables is not as difficult as it sounds. After all, if you are prepared for the game, then everything is not so bad.

I usually just play one table. I'm not a pro------just a B level junkie. I can scratch my itch on one table so I'll leave the multiple tables to the speed/money junkies. They make money doing this and that is fine for them. It all depends on what you want and how you think you need to go about getting it. As for me, one table can keep my simple brain occupied.

hi there

One table at a time is very good
2 is stressful but,,,,
More than that you lose focus and concentration

I play two tables usually. Sometimes up to 4. I have a small screen so 4 is all I can really handle at once.

A few years ago it was fine for me to play two tables. Now I want to focus on one table most of the time but sometimes I am in the mood to play two tables :)

Yes, I like to play at one poker table, maximum two poker tables to play poker for fun. At two tables, the game becomes uninteresting and looks more like a robot mode :)

sounds very normal to me. In real life, you would only play only one table. why would we devalue our poker skills by playing multiple tables just because we are online.

I used to play 4 to 6 tables at a time. But now that I play most of my poker on my phone, I try to keep it to 1 table at a time. Except on Thursdays. :)

I usually only play at one table. This is fine. I'm more focused. Or maybe it's my age. Younger players are more productive.

Hello. If I am in a MTT on a site that I want to build my bank on, I usuallyplay only that one. If I have other goals, I may play up to three at a time.

And I want more and more!

playing at 4+ tables, of course, scatters attention and control can only be of the system itself, but such players can often be defeated. At the same table, you can even feel the players online and predict their behavior. I'm better at playing at one table, but I still open four !!!))):rolleyes::D
