Of course, in this case, due to such a rough game, 1-2 tables are eventually doubled or lost and they are more comfortable to play later. But the overall quality is falling greatly.
And if I play one table: then it turns out even in seemingly losing moments, somehow twist out. With one table, you kind of feel that the opponent wants to make the result intuitively better. True, if you lose, then emotional depression is greater. Since physically, you kind of already know them. Is it possible to continue to play always on table 1? Or at a distance is this a hundred percent mistake and loss? Thank you in advance! It is very important for me to understand now.
Playing at one table is quite normal. It's hard to imagine someone playing live poker at two or more tables. In online poker, very often everything comes down to the mechanical execution of standard moves. All kinds of poker trackers do all the work of monitoring opponents. Playing at several tables in the zone of positive equity allows you to significantly increase the stack in several cases. Tables in which the game did not go according to the scenario disappear, and on the rest, a huge stack allows you to put pressure on opponents and forces them to make mistakes. All this is very tiring, the more enduring wins.

I had good results when I played on one table, an attempt to play at four tables ended in a complete collapse for me, I did not understand where what tournament was and where what should be done (all tournaments were turbo and extra time of only 30 seconds), so playing at one table is a bit boring, but it would be logical to assume that the results will be much better than at 2+ tables.

Although poker experts claim that this is a negative strategy, playing at one table, but I will try to play no more than two tables at the same time.

before I played all the possible tables, then I realized that I did not pay in any, now I select them, and the concentration improved remarkably

Hello. I play three tables at most. I think that more tables you can not play concentrate well especially in microlimites where I play

Do whatever works.. one table is fine it it makes money.. I tend to get impatient and overplay hands when playing one table..

honestly, I believe that playing at a single table or at several at the same time depends on each one, I myself like to play at a single table, putting my maximum focus on it

Yes, totally normal. Indeed, I prefer to play a single table. However, I can play two tables at the same time without any problem.

I think two or three tables is the optimal game, no more!

in my opinion it is normal, but I have friends who play at two or more tables as a matter of strategy, so as not to get bored, there is only one table that risk of idleness, more than one table helps to avoid this.

For me playing one table is the best option. This way I can really focus on the game and get to know the other players.

Yes it’s normal! I did it for a long time. You can learn about the game and analyze your opponents 😀

In my experiences playing 1 table can make me feel more in control, I can pay more attention and I am not rushed. 2 Tables is okay, but I notice that I am more likely to feel rushed if I know an important play needs to be made and timing is important. For instance I might slow play when I shouldn't, push when I shouldn't, and fold when i shouldn't. I am working on being more attentitive to my opponents and to look for their tells in their gameplay, but there are many things I miss when playing multiple tables. 3 seems to be my max as I have a hard time after that. I have heard about people playing over 5 or 10 tables at a time, but the variance can be extreme when you are just playing by algorithm, which is what you need if you need to make quick plays and play accrodingly.

Playing at one table is the best option. There is time and opportunity to follow what is happening on other tables.

To each his own in my opinion. If one table is best for you then that is good for you. I play one or two tables and don't like to play any more than that.

It is quite normal to play only at one table, but you can increase the number if you wish.

I like when I'm digging deep to play a few at a time but I'm more focused when playing just one.... lits of people play just one and lots play 4,5 or more so it's all normal and it's whatever best for you and your game
