Do You Multitable or Prefer One Table at a Time?

Everyone has their own rhythm in online poker. Some players love the intensity of multitabling more hands, more decisions, more chances to build a bankroll. It feels efficient and fast.
Others prefer the calm focus of playing a single table, taking time to read every spot and make higher-quality decisions.

For me, starting with one table helped me build discipline and reduce mistakes. As I improved, I added more tables slowly, only when I felt fully comfortable with my decision-making.

At the end of the day, it’s not about the number of tables it’s about playing your best game consistently.

You'll need maximum concentration if it's live poker and the buy-in is significant.

If you're playing online, all you need to do is beat the variance with the right strategy and a high volume of hands. This can only be achieved by playing as many tables as possible.

Couple of 32" 4K monitors, a few weeks of practice, and 12-18 tables = easy!

You fold 70-93% of your hands, so it's rare that you're playing around six hands at a time. usually just 1 or 2. HM or PT collects the data for you. You can easily adjust bet sizes and ranges by sorting the tables on the screen or changing the colors. Keyboard shortcuts are an indispensable feature.

Good Luck!
In this case, the house will turn into an online club. For streamers and professional players, the equipment pays off through donations from viewers. We are give up thinking in favor of programs that collect information about the players at the table, when we play a large number of tables at one time. We don't keep track of hands that we don't participate in. The goal is to play a lot of hands, don't get hung up on defeats and take risks more often. It all comes down to this.

I like to play 2 tables. However, those days I played 4 tables and I thought it was cool. I didn't get caught up in some hands that I might play wrong.

I personally play 1 to 2 tables on more relaxed sessions and 3 to 4 tables when I'm grinding hard. Personally, anything more than 4 tables splits my attention too much for proper decision making.

I can play well with a maximum of 8 tables simultaneously; more than that interferes with my decisions.

I personally prefer to play one table at a time, otherwise You'll most probably gonna miss out on crucial details in players tendencies and behaviour. So instead of doubling your chance of winning, you are actually halfening your chances. That's my point on it.

I play games on laptops; currently I'm playing on 3 laptops, usually 2 games on each, sometimes I play 4 on one of them.

If there is a chance to play in another good tournament while I am already in one - I'll register - but I don't like when it gets too crowded.

4 maximum for me!

But I usually play with two windows, 1 CC freeroll like tonight, other omaha 4 probably.

I prefer to play 6-9 tables at first, it hits very sharply that I end up with one or two final tables

Some players grind with 6+ tables; others focus on just one.
What’s your ideal setup for playing your best poker?
I can play several free rolls at a time…but when I play cash games, with my hard earned money, I prefer to focus on one table.

It all depends on the opponents. Sometimes the game is standard and the actions are automatic, and then it's boring at 1-2 tables. Sometimes the opponents come up with something and a lack of attention begins... in general, the fewer tables, the better for a quality game.
