Posted by glenn006: I play mostly 2 tables,, i can then better concentrate me then if i play three tables or more. one time i got A-K and KK i was run out of time
Yep same for me glenn. Also can better concentrate when i have 1 or 2 tables..
i already play in 16 tables, in one monitor, is the best for me, in 4 or 8 tables i get bored i think u have to be very concentrated, so turn off ur cellphone and the tv to play in 12 or more tables
------------ thx for the edit, i really dont know how to post and image. i think to play in many tables is like have sex, u need to be concentrated and u will win lol!!!

Lol, with that much of tables, I'm gonna get sick... Before you could go back to your 1st table, it must be already close to being folded. like in FTP that only has 20 sec.

I think that if you wonna play profitable multi table more than 2 tables you need to be an experienced solid player that knows exactly what to do with specific cards in specific moments so the only thing you have to think about is how to play the hand best against the specific player at the table and lookout for short stacks etc. But you will quickly see on your session results if you are playing too many tables. Good luck
no, u dont need to be a pro to play in many tables, just concentration, when the table jumps to u, analize the hand and call, raise or fold, thats ur poker style, if ur tight, loose or anything... personally, im very loose agresive, so i raise with anything...
ive been playing poker for years and i can only play one table at a time thats the only way i can concentrate and if i play more than 1 i cant keep up with them all and i cant get any information off the players, and pacience it a important part of the game

I didn't say pro but experienced solid player, if a player can't beat 1 table he will only lose his money faster by playing more tables.

If you want to learn to play than 1 table is a must because one table is always distracting you from the other. It is not interesting as playing many tables but until you have some experience in determining how others are playing I think that one table is the only solution. After you have learned what the players types at the table are, lets say youre playing 1 table SNG, you can try 2nd table. Or you can try to play fixed limit tables just to practice reading through others play on multiple tables, and its much safer than NL or PL tables. If youre going for the bonus and you dont think that you can play with players from higher stakes tables, than open multiple micro limit tables and try your luck. Beware though that hunting for bonus can at its best make your bankroll stand still not moving up or down, because youre not fully in the game at every table. Not winning any money is ifrst step in losing your money because youre investing money and all you get in return is the money invested with no profits, its like playing roulette with all the numbers covered, you get your money back no surplus until ball hits 0 and you lose all of it. One table going up in limits as your bankroll goes up is most secure method in raising your bankroll. I too can get bored if play is too slow or passive, solution is to either to open a new table or find a new one with more action on it. Decision is entirely yours, afterall its your money.

I thing less table more skill, because if you play many tables you can not give as much attention like you play 1 table, so better I play 1-3 high tables and triple up money, then play 7-8 tables and won about 5 BB in table

I think you learn just as much when u play 1 table at a beginning stage then 8 for example.I would choose to play more tables when u are familair with online poker and know all the tricks and tips.

i wonder how can u only play one table if u are building bankroll? is it just to build bankroll and when u have the bankroll u play moore tables or are u always playing with one / two tables? isnt that kind of waist of time becous u are good enough to play higher limit but only play one table. if I afford to play limit/nolimit 5-10 1 table with a bankroll 2000k i rather play limit/nolimit 1-2 on 4 tables and trying to work out a good strategy for me with 4 tables. and try to make that strategy better and better n after couplpes of moths i will be on 5-10 with my strategy and 4-8 tables

Limit tables are different story, they are much easier to play and if youre playing tight on all of them they are easily manageable. No limit tables are not so easy because in NL game you encounter more of stone cold bluffs and if you miss one and youre having a winning hand that is a money not earned you wont lose but you can win bigger hands if youre concentrated on one table and paying attention to players on one table only. When I play multiple tables at once, in 90% those are limit tables. This can sometimes be applied to Limit tables too, if you play your hand good then bluffers will be sucked out of cash too. I am against playing multiple tables if its not for point collection purpose. The play types of players playing multiple tables are mostly tight and once you get that monster hand you were waiting theres is little action or no action at all when you raise.

u right . its important to read the players when they just trow out a bluff from no were and if u fold u loose money . u should always play tight and agresive. bet near pot when u have someting on flop high pair n better. if u raised before flop u bet anyways and u bet middle pair. when i play i think like this " even if my opponent should see my cards he wouldt call. 'just becous i always bet alot when i have something." and if he reraise me i fold my AQ. he wouldt reraise me with a bader hand than AQ even if he sees my cards he wouldnt raise!
if u Bet ALOT and get reraised, your opponent probobly hit the set or better if he does reraise u alot (more than once on 7) he probobly not flop set everytime.
if u play tight and agresive I think u learn to read so much u need to read even if u play 2-4 tables.
i can play max 4 and i'm beginning to lose focus...
