How many tables do you play at once?

PokerPlayer06 · Nov 10, 2008

It depends what is on the line. For example if I am playing a real money tourney I will focus on that more then a FR. I can play 8 tables at once, usually have a couple PS,Carbon, and FTP at same time. online poker can get boring if you are only playing at one table and you are card dead.

I only play 1 at a time
Poker is relaxing for me.
Anything more than the 1 table seems to much like work for me

i play 2 tables anymore than that is excessive and i cant concentrate

DeNyd · Nov 10, 2008

i usually play 2 games at once...one of them is much lower stakes..it helps to change up the boring upper stakes (if your playing tight)..iuno works for me..

royalflush525 · Nov 12, 2008

Well it all depends on what I'm playing. If I'm playing freeroll with a 1000 peps than i play 3 or 4 and play my cards. if I'm play big $$ freerolls than i only play 1 or 2 cause i need to watch all players.

I usually play 1-2 tourneys with 1-2 ring at a time......helps me balance the pace at tourneys

ChurchSkiz · Nov 12, 2008

I don't know how you guys do so many. I was playing 2 SnG's last night and added a ring game on top of that. It was getting crazy for about 2 minutes when I had AK AQs and AQo on all 3 tables. I had to leave the ring game as soon as my hand was over. Then I was in two heads up matches at the same time in the SnG's and thought my brain was going to explode.

I suck at multi-tasking and have to devote my attention to one thing, playing 4+ tables is just not an option for me.

As an exercise i played 6 2NL tables just to see what it was like. I just about had a panic attack. If you can do 24 tables and be profitable, you have my utmost respect. Also, how do you play good hands when every time you go to make a move another table pops up on top of you?

LOL... me too. I like to think I give my best at one table. How do you guys implore strategy and notice betting patterns with that many screens

nc_royals · Nov 13, 2008

I usually only play one at a time. If I do play 2 or 3 then it's a cheap 10 person cash table. Ive tried to multitable sng's but with the rising blinds I struggle to play these.

Jodieblonde · Nov 13, 2008

I'm going to get me one of those LARGE screens! Wonder how many games a person can play without making people wait?

Jodieblonde · Nov 13, 2008

Which reminds me, maybe that's why some people play so slow?

3 for optimal cash game 6max play
6 for robot style grinding

Bill924 · Nov 14, 2008

I dont play cash games much but have played 3 tournaments at the same time but got to admit that I cant concentrate the same and have missed some big pots because of it.

sleepy11 · Nov 14, 2008

I have played up to 5 at a time, but I do not recommend it. I do much better if I concentrate on one table and the players on it.

SirHockeyPuck · Nov 14, 2008

For Battle Of The Planets on PS, have you ever see how many sit & gos some of micro stake players play? Like 15 of them at a time.

I can't play that many and concentrate either. If I played for money one be certainly be enough for me to think about.

massimo · Nov 14, 2008

I play only 1 or 2 at a time. I really make an honest effort to focus on what my opponents are doing. I can't keep up with them if I'm playing more than 2 full tables.

DonkeySmash · Nov 15, 2008

I have played up to 4 at one time. However you really cant focus on your opponents than. My favorite is also 2 tourneys at one time. I sometimes play heads up and than play a tourney. But I am pretty tight aggressive so it helps that I dont play many hands to still focus on my opponents and also pass the time. Good Thread though.

2 plus 2 radio

I heard that there is a online poker pro who is playing 20 something tables at once and cashes for over ten thousand dollars a month (He plays on pokerstars.com and is a supernova elite). What I would like to understand is how could you keep up with that kind of action and be successfull, when I play four tables I encounter timeouts and have no time to read players. I think large multi table play is ok if you are a limit player, but I would like to hear the strategy behind how one can actually be successful with this type of method.

smashbot · Nov 15, 2008

i seem to only do well playing 2 tables at once in sngs. i've tried doing 4, but i do poorly. thats just me, everyone is different.

LankanSoulja · Nov 15, 2008

I play around 4 or 5. I find it helps me not be impatient and play my cards. I seem to play much better that way.

Errant Dog · Nov 16, 2008

I play 5 SNG's at once usually. If it is a big MTT than I'll only play that table and maybe a HU table.

BuggyX · Nov 16, 2008

i am a NL Holdem tournament player, 5 tables i played yesterday, dam was too much 4 me, 4 i can handle, i like the matrix tourneys with 9 players on full tilt, lots of fun though ;-)

Dunninger · Dec 14, 2010

I have 2 24 inch monitors on computer, and a laptop next to that. When I'm done work, I try and set up between 4-6 games at once to unwind.. I've had 12 games opened at once.. but try to stay on no more than 3 sites at once..

I loved reading this forum because now I realize.. I am not alone.. haha..
