I'm currently debating whether it's better to focus entirely on one table to maximize focus and read opponents, or to play multiple tables to increase volume and potential hourly win rate. What is your current strategy? How many tables do you usually play at once, and what are the pros and cons in your experience?
That really depends on the individual; the important thing is to open enough tables to play them all well. If you can't play well and stay focused on three tables, drop down to two; if two doesn't work, play one—just keep testing it out.
Player who is still learning / wants to maximize their edge: 1–2 tables.
Winning regular looking for a balance between quality and volume: approximately 3–6 tables.
Professional grinder focused on volume: 6–12+ tables, depending heavily on skill level, format, and how automated their decision-making is.
The optimal range is often around 4–8 tables, although this varies greatly depending on the player and the stakes.

Pretty much this. Just want to add, that for more than 1-2 tables you do not want to be playing on a phone, and for more than 3-6 tables a laptop is also no longer enough. Instead you want to use a large monitor or even better two monitors, so you can still see all your tables.austral said:
I prefer multi-tabling to keep things interesting, but I cap it at 4 tables to stay sharp. For finding safe offshore casinos with bigger bonuses, I recently used blightybets.com and liked the selection. It helped me switch to fewer restrictions and better rewards while keeping my focus manageable.Rankitmuna said:

I always grind multi tables MTT, only exception is a special or higher stake tournament. Instead of 6 to 8 tables I go back to one main tournament and maybe 2 small screens on the side.
I prefer 8 tables and keep firing up, hoping to get one monster stack and then I let the tables out that get eliminated to hyper focus on the deep run.
Then it becomes analyzing the current table, using the bigstack to exploit and fire all weopon arsenals.

One of the advantages of online poker is precisely the ability to play at multiple tables simultaneously; however, during the final stages of tournaments—especially at the final table—it is best to play on fewer screens or focus solely on the final table.
