Online poker, how many tables do you play at the same time?

[stangret]

Mostly I play at only one table to concentrate on my opponents. And because my skills are not so good.

 

[frankfrank56]

I'll play 4 tables if I'm relaxed and have the mental bandwidth.
If I'm not focused or have other noise in the background, I'll play 1-2 depending if they are SnG/Cash/Tourny.

 

[Marowin]

In zoom i play 4 tables but in normal cash tables it was up to 16 tables

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

If you are a new player, then it is best to start with 1-2 tables. If you feel comfortable and control the situation at the tables, then you can add more.

 

[GrannySmit77]

Usually just 2 but it can be 3-4 also. I just play for fun and I'm trying to improve my game.

 

[Ronaldo7]

I like to play table, not robotic game so i play 2-3 where i can focus on players on all of them

 

[danelyCS]

and how many tables are you in prizes? How does the number of tables affect your game?

I believe that some people have already given a Wise Answer: it is better to play only in 2 tables at the most.

I have learned over time that the open tables are not synonymous with "Gain", the players will not win more if they open more tables, they will win more if they can understand the table, understand the opponents, read their actions, learn of their movements and use all that knowledge in our favor, this is the way to play poker well and therefore get more benefits.
It is not an equation: 6 open tables = 6 USD / HOUR, on the contrary, it is about how many tables one can control conscientiously.

Hi there
it depends on the buy in but i prefer to play one game max 2 at a time
you do not focus in more than that

[subluchuk]

Hi,cashgame not more than 2 tables at the same time cause it affects my win rate.Tournaments i play up to 4,sometimes

 

[thwenth1983]

How many tables?

I usually play up to 6 tables, it gets better, I try my best to have a strong hand to play.
In the cash game 6 tables, sit go's 6 tables, Mtt, depends on the value, play 3 or 4 tables.

 

[whitesmoke420]

I like to play 1 at a time to focus but I find that if I play small quick games on the side through out the original tournament I tend to do a little better at times but it varies.

 

[akufto]

basically at the same table leading the game, there are two

 

[thackro]

I'm more a live player then online so one is enough when online.. sometimes I open a cash game when I play a MTT so I can pause it momentarily if needed...

Never tried more then that.. not my style to play many tables..

-TRP-

Same for me, one at a time so I can focus on the other players and pick-up trends and such

and how many tables are you in prizes? How does the number of tables affect your game?

If I am playing Cash tables, I limit myself to 4 at max. If I play fast fold, or zoom or whatever it is called on each site, I only play 2.

Tournament Poker is a little different. I will usually start off around 6 depending on how the scheduling looks for my buy-ins. Once i get into the meat of the MTT's, and/or I have built up a few nice stacks, I will stop adding tourney's every time I bust out. I do not like to find myself playing more than 4 as I near the "money" bubbles. My strategy is that I prefer to be playing "less" instead of "more", as we approach the 20-40 BB end game.

It is pretty obvious that I really prefer to have more time to think about each table in MTT's, once we reach the money and beyond.

Cash, I am OK with 4 tables, I feel that I am always OK with the time I have to make decisions. Occasionally, I will play 6, I just do not like it. Sometimes if a soft Rec player is multi-tabling, I will play as many tables as he is, just to push my edge. I hope that is a complete answer.

 

[HobokenNJ]

2 feels pretty good. 3 is starting to push it. With 4 open -- yikes; hard for me to keep track of things. Often results in busting out too early on one or more of the tables.

 

[antonis32123]

2 tables is good , more than 2 I lose focus . my concetration , I make too many mistakes and I lose . If it's a freeroll , it's ok for 3 tables Optimal for me is only one table , so if I am ITM deep or it's an important tournament , I will play only this game

 

[NUTZ]

I usually play one table MTT and then HU hyper, ive played 4 to 5 tables a few times and the outcomes are never in my favor.

i can easily handle 2 tables so tht wht stick with

 

[wagon596]

Right now 2 tables is all I can handle. In the past 5 was about I could keep up with.... brain ain't what it use to be.

I try not to play more than 2 otherwise i really a donk lol

 

[57noona]

I like to play one table so I can focus on all the players at the table.

 

[curiplop]

I can play up to 6 tables at once, more than that I go crazy, I have tried to increase the number of tables many times and it is a disaster, I have the habit of looking at all the tables at the same time and it disturbs me one under the other

 

[molokheia]

Hi There
The main thing in poker is Patience and Focus
More than 2 tables you lose focus and attention on other players
I do not do it
Suggest you too follow that

[19aleks57]

Yesterday the first time playing 2 tables, but the game is not so ...

 

[jadaminato]

Four is the maximum amount I can play decently. But the ideal number for me is two: one to concentrate on and one to distract me
