The more you like playing poker the more you will play. If it's on just one table that's fine. That's all you can feasibly play in a live situation so having fun playing on one online table shouldn't be any different, imo.
If you're in it strictly for the $ then I would play at least 4 tables. If it's a vision issue, might I recommend an HDMI cable which goes from your desktop/laptop USB port to your TV's USB port. :)

I think it's a matter of getting used to it, you can modify the bet sizes preflop, flop, etc. to your liking. This is of great help to make decisions quickly and so you can try more tables. My maximum number of open tables are the ones I can see, normally there are 6. If they are more, it is hard for me to be focused on my game and what what happens in the game

In my early days, I only played one table for a very, very long time. I then slowly increased to 4 tables. The problem back then was that I opened up to 10 tables in Tilt phases and lost even more as a result. Today I know that I play best with 4 tables.

And one table is not enough for me. Well, maybe if you don't mind the time.

There is nothing wrong with playing one table at a time. For beginning players or players working on their games it is probably for the best. I have been playing less tables and mostly 1 at a time recently as I have been really working on my game more. The one issue of multi tableing is your win rate does drop the more tables you play. Yes you make more money long-term playing more tables, but you do miss out on things since you wont see everything that is happening at all the tables.

It doesn't matter whether you play at just one table or at 20 tables. But what is important is that you enjoy the game and that you try to be successful. For one person it is too boring to play at just one table and for the other, 2 tables are already too many. Poker is a game that should be fun and that's why everyone should find out for themselves how it suits them best

You are right! The only way to play Poker is to have fun and enjoy the game, if you can do this on one table or play several tables simultaneously then go for it. But I don't necessarily want to make a living from the game, so I stick with one game at a time and I can relax while playing.
Multi tables only lead me into a stressful situation trying to juggle them around, and then it turns into hard work! I retired 10 years ago, I don't need to work :)

Play as many tables as you feel comfortable with, even if it's only one.

I've been playing poker for about 10 years and I've never been able to play at multiple tables I can only play at a well-concentrated one
I'm starting at poker and I can only play one table at a time

The secret to winning in online poker is multi-tabling, this allows you to play a representative sample of games to eliminate the luck factor. So you really have to get out of your comfort zone and stay quiet on a table and think about learning to play several tables at the same time. Good luck !

Play however YOU feel comfortable with. Since you play for a living do whatever makes you happy.
If you want to play more tables at some point then it would be wise to add 1 table at a time!

Have fun

i like to play 2 at the time because sometimes there is a lot of waste of time in a table

1 Table is absolutely fine, best focus on the moves that other player make, enough time to make notes, and color code other players. Even if you will never see them at your table sometimes it helps to see the things in an other way.
