I usually play at just one table, it keeps me focus on the one tournament much better.

Normal especially if you are a beginner.

I don't usually play just one table, I think you end up wasting too much time just with a table and that's not very interesting

I generally prefer to play two or three tables, as one seems too slow. Playing at one table only has a higher concentration, but it is still possible to play several at the same time and keep the level high like the pros.

Buddy, try to play two tables at the same time. And then it will drag on, you won't have time to fart and you'll be sitting at nine tables every day.

I think the only place where it`s ok for one rable only is on live poker. In online you waste time on 1 table

today there was a situation when the number of open tables prevented me .. I got lost when I had to play good hands simultaneously for four hands at once. in the end, I confess - I lost in two tournaments and in the future too, as I was upset by the loss of the chip leadership .. Now I think about it and most likely I will play at the same table. at least until I improve my game.

I play more than one table. I can handle more than one. It is lots of fun for me. Good luck to all who play.

I would play more than one table. If you play one table can focus on opponent's play (if you don't use a HUD). I would be watching poker streamers if grinding on one table.

If you are comfortable playing only one table then that is fine, as well.

Playing only one table can be boring , except if you are deep in a tourney , then it's exciting following tha action , watching rivals , preparing your potential next moves on various positions/hands . But generally I play seriously 2 games , and 2-3 more not so serious (freerolls or very very low buyin micro tourneys )

Depends on the client software. Some are easy to play multiple tables; at least one that I use is brutal.

Most of the time I play on 1 table, but if there are freerolls at the same time I play on multiple tables

Multi-tabling is fine if you are serious about making money, and are a good enough player, but when I tried it years ago I found it to be hard work, juggling between tables and getting buzzed from other tables when it was your turn to act, Poker became less fun to play and more like a job of work.
So I quit trying to make money and concentrated on one table at a time, I found it a lot less stressful and started to have fun again, Poker is a game I enjoy, winning or losing, as you will always have losses along the way, it is just the nature of the game, and if anyone said they win all the time, then I am afraid they are either deluding themselves or a complete liar, No one is that good and even the best have bad days.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

I think you made a good decision. Playing on multiple tables is just too distracting, especially more than two.

You can play on 1 table, but it's tedious and it will be soon bored.
3-4 tables I think the best choice

Until now I only do it in one, since I only play the weekends that I can, that's why I can't practice much, but if my husband plays in several at the same time, they shouldn't be zoom

No matter under which circumstances, I always try to play with the utmost degree of sincerety and concentration. Which means one single table is enough to keep me fully occupied.

I do play multiple tables if I have the opportunity. It it always good to play more than one table. Keep me on my toes. Sometimes you can win more than one game.

normal, I would say I enjoy the game more and tend to perform better when I only have one table.

I play multiple freerolls at one time because it is so easy to lose .. even with the best cards and best odds .. I hate playing on one table for a very long time and then losing and not having another game in progress

hello, I think in the beginning it is very good to play at one table, better than many, but not good, when the time comes you will start playing many tables yourself[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
