i always play 4 tables at the same time. More tables an that i dont recommend. But you should fell what fells good for you. Always only play with money you can afford to loose.

if its a "high" level, i play two tables. if its the stake below i play on four tables. my record was 9 tables though, on 0,02/0,04 FL its pretty cool, it seems like you always have one monster hand, on at least one table

for tourneys i do one table at a time so i can focus and see how everyone is playing and i usually play low blinds with 3-4 tables and only play monster hands

Been playing for 2-3 tables and was winning / losing some, I then tried to play with 4 tables and it didn't work (all NL tables), it's just that you won't have enough time to decide if the player you're up against is a bluffer / fish / etc. so i'll be back to 3 tables at the moment.

I play 1-2 tables hu at a time anything keeps me up beat.
and play 2 cash games at the same time, playing 2 at a time helps me be more patient only because I see more hands. But at time I might go and be getitng cold cards where as I move down to 1 table. Also highly depends on the mood I'm in. Like at the moment im playing 3 tables and posting in the forum becuase I had a good day today.

Very nice, multitasking is a very productive way to earn cash BTW i just can't play at only 1 table.. the reason is I get bored (due to probably slow play) then lose my concentration and make bad decisions. that's why I always play on 2-3 tables.

Sometimes if i play to many say 6 nl tables
I avg end up even, because with all those blinds and pots I limp into and such. I usually dont make money off that many tables. But Ive seen people make fortunes playing many tables at a time
ex: Elky on Stars ive seen him play around 12 tables at a time and he still ends up ahead.

You people that can play 10 and 12 or more games at a time , must be very talented. I dont think i will ever be able to. I sure do wish i could though. Ill keep on trying.

Thats sound like a plan to me but remember poker is not casino it can take time stick to the 5% of bankroll on each table and play tight, wait for the unbeatable hands (unless your unlucky and get beat) and you will do well if you do a few bluffs at the right times along the way.

I normally play on 6 tables. It's not quite difficult and you have enough time to think about every hand. If you play "Short-stack-strategy" it's the best because playing on just 1-3 tables is a bit boring

IF you play SnG's playing more than one table is a must becouse it is pretty emchanical, BUT you have to have good memory to identify the fishes and the sharks

i would suggest to start with one and than move to more tables when you're ready. I started with 1 table, than 2, and now 4 but I play sit and gos which is a little different.
