How many hands can you play at once? Does this work for you? I've noticed that I do very well when I focus on one game at a time. It's hard to resist since most sites peak around the same hours. However, I just don't have much luck when I juggle too many hands at once. I should be careful perhaps??

A lot of players claim to play 20, or even more tables, at a time. I can't do that. 4 is the absolute max.
If you play best with only one table, play one table. If you get bored, add another one. But don't play a ton of tables just because other players do it.

I am playing most of the time on one table so I can focus on my hands, when playing on lower stakes 0.5/1$ blunds, I sometimes take two tables. Never more, can't focus then.

I realized that 16-18 fasttables on stars works best for me. Im playing down the robotmode and dont have much chance to tilt as i dont see every beat i possibly get.
If it is cash tables, then stick with what you are comfortable with, sure you can bang up the points, but if you lose cash then what is the point. You cant be concentrating enough on all of them to make it worthwhile. Ipoker, 4 tables is preferable at least you can see them all at the sametime, but more than that and you dont know what is going on in my eyes because you need to watch and study your openents.

Posted by B1gfoot: 4 I think is the magic number, but iv played up to 12 games gets a bit crazy.
Yeh same here, with 4 tables its kinda easy, can do thing a side (msn, tv, ect). When i do more i really have to concentrate and cant do anytin a side.
I do 10+ when playing for points and aiming to hit a deposit bonus or something. But then I noticed a drop in game play so I eased it up a bit. But if I'm not playing for points and want to play serious play 1 - 4 depending on how fast and type of players at the main table.

if you want to keep up focused on the tables i guess 4 tables is more than enough ... it's crazy work playing at more tables at the same time ... at least that's my point of view .

Go play DoNs its fold fold fold, play up too 10 tables is easy
ahhahaha
Well taht's true. It depends on what you play and how you play. If you are a loose agresive player in cash games i's hard to play more hand than if you are a nit playing SSS.

Depends. Full 9 or 10 plyr table, I can do 4 and ocasionally 6. Shorthanded I can only cope with 2, my game degrades instantly with more. And low-limit DoN S&Gs, I can do a LOT at the same time. As many have said, it's folding 90% of the time
I am not able to manage mpre than 2 or 3 hands at time; time it's not enough to study opponents and to follow game correctly. Sounds strange that it's easier to win when you play this way but I think it's only luck

Hi!!
I play 6 table at once. I know people who plays 24!!! I think that is a question of time be able to play more tables. In anyway, i prefer play better than play in more tables.

I play best at 1-2 tables , but i get bored so heavily so i just can't stop myself with getting more and more tables sometimes up to 10 after i start to loose because playing same as when played 2 tables is not possible... I know you will say stop with 2 if you're good with them but it's boring... even when i watch movie with them it's still getting me bored.
