How many tables do you play at once?

ok i know some ppl play at most 3 or 4 tables on line, and i mean know personally and just this week found a youtube video of a guy playing 20 tables i mean c'mon whats your table record? its real money played there but wait not just that i also heard that a guy at wsop got banned cause he was suspected to be a bot playing 28 tables!!!! he send a video showin how he played alll those tables... definitely not human insane

i do 6 okay.

My record is 16 tables .

Before anyone says GTFOOH, I'll explain. I played 16 penny tables at once on PS around that 10 billionth hand celebration in hopes of getting the 100k. It didn't happen . What's not so funny about it is that actually the 100k if I recall correctly was given to a penny table. Needless to say I was going nuts on 16 tables for those ~45 minutes I played them, about a few hands in I was just about folding every hand, I decided to play only AA, KK, QQ and AK lol. It was crazy man. As soon as the 10 B hand was dealt I was out as fast as humanly possible.

For the most when I play tourneys I only do one at a time, occasionally I'll play 2. On cash games those few times I play them, I'll play 2 at least and sometimes 3, recently I tried 4 at $50MAX but I won't do it again, I really played poorly . Didn't lose much because I played super tight, but for me at least there isn't much to gain by doing it.

I read about the guy who plays 24 sitngos at once, don't know how you can do that, for sure not on a 17" screen.

I normally play 2. More than that and I can`t sustain my standard of play, although I am not sure how far that is down to me and how far it is the limitations of my equipment.

I intend to get a 2nd monitor. I expect that will make multi-tabling much easier. The constant flicking from one table to another makes it difficult to give one`s attention to the play. It should be better when I have more desktop space.

Same, I play 2 tables usually, tournments.... I prefer to just focus on it ya know, bigger money, more players etc...

I mainly only play 1 table but sometimes i play up to 3 but not very often.

I always play 2 tables at once, and never more than that.

I find it very important being able to watch all the other players, see how they bet, see how they act etc. If you're playing half a dozen tables I figure you won't have time to make very sophisticated plays, you're just going to play ABC poker which is not something I like.

Also, I currently stick with $50 SNGs, and in general the competition isn't all that fishy, so it's important to be alert and focus on the games without shifting attention from one table to the next all the time.

i play 4 tables at once, otherwise i find it quite boring. it helps me to be more selective about my hands which is a good thing

I will play up to three tables, but anything past that I dont come out with as much profit. Yes this does help from keepi ng me bored to.

I can play a whole lot of tables at once, but with the way I've set up my BR to profit well, I only really need to play one.

This is very true.

One of the techniques which I have found useful in Ring Games is to scan the other tables and spot whether any of my opponents is playing a large number at once.

As soon as I spot someone doing that, I have a pretty good clue as to what his playing style is likely to be, and this is valuable information to help me beat him at the one table I am playing.

Three at a time isn't too bad but once i get to four or higher i feel as though my play starts to get pretty bad and then i get frustrated and just end up leaving so i no longer go above three

i have played 5 at once all Freerolls on FTP after dark ones don't reccommend thou unless you got a good connection other wise it is a waste of time when someone else could of had that seat.

I've tried up to 6 at one time but the problem is that just as you are clickig a play the tables change and you play the wrong hand. I find that 3 is ok if the play is slow but if it is a fast paced game stick to 1.

4 .50/1.00 tables

I play just one. I tried two a few times but it destroys my concentration and enjoyment of the game of poker. I like getting my head 'within' a game, getting to know players tendencies, and a feel for what is happening. Swapping around tables loses all that, for me anyway.

I tried 2 tables and it was driving me nuts. at least for me, it was very hard to focus and pick up tendencies.

you have more than one screen most people play 4 per screen there was a topic about this a while back

Multitabling makes my head hurt, so I just stick to one.

But then, when I first started playing online the speed of the action made my head hurt (I learned live), so maybe one day I'll work it out

I do not like to play multiable tables....I find I can get caught up in the moment and will pay less attention to the other games... So I always stick to one!

How can a guy physically play at 28 tables at the WSOP?? I mean he would have to be cloned 27 times and I'm sure somebody would notice him more than once??

I ussually stick to 1 or 2 tables MAX. I remember once I got on a frenzy and hooked up another monitor to my laptop and started playing like 6 or 8 tables. I'll never do that crap agian!!!

I can play upto 22 tables over a few sites

I have three multi screens all linked together so i can play

two screens full with 8 to 10 games on prima or pokerstars site

and another 6 on william hill or poker4ever

I just love multi tasking loads of fun

It sounds mad but when you play 12 hours a day every day you get use to it.

PRACTICE PRACTICE

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN TIME

i've done as much as 10... but it makes me crazy and i play like crap.

my comfort zone is 4-6

RainKhan who plays like 25 tables at once does it on one monitor. He just stacks the tables over each other and waits for them to pop up when its his turn to act.

I cnt play as many as I want.It is funny that that guy was playing 2 try 2 get the 1billonth hand when they were giveing out the freeroll tickets i didnt know but i was wacthing a frinds palymoney table and I got a ticket some how.I didnt know and when I found out i was pissed off.

Playing multi tables is sometimes necessary as many poker rooms have similar start times. It is OK to begin with but but as the tournaments progress you have to focus more to be continually successfull. Luckily by the time a lot of players have been eliminated the pace of the games slow as those left are the most experienced, more accomplished and take more care over their betting. It is not for the faint-hearted but must be added to the card players portfolio, the more you practise the better you get. Use your available time, others may get frustrated by slow play but "on tilt" they give up their chips more easily. It is great excercise for the brain and keeps you on your toes, especially for an old man like me.

I usually play 3-4 tables at a time.
Its normally 1-2 MTT and 1-2 real money.
If I start doing well on MTT, I will probably quit out of the money games, just so I can concentrate better.

I play the player, not the table.

No more than 3 six max or 4 full ring. I could play more but my CPU/brain is an old model.

this really depends what im playing.

NL400+ i can do 6-9 pretty optimally.

if i play MTTs i just want volume, so will play as many as are going over multiple sites, so maybe upto around 12.

for SSNL i would play about 12.

fwiw getting more/bigger monitors makes a HUGE difference

I usually don't play cash tables. I play mainly freerolls, it's not so common to have more than 3 freeroll at the same time, so sometimes I play 3 tournaments at the same time.

I played very poorly... I've noticed that when I play one at a time, I get in the money 1 on 3... (33%), so now I choose the best freeroll and play only one at a time.

It is possible I saw a player that do this on 20 tables in same time, so 28 is not a big difference

DOES ANY ONE JUST PLAY ONE TABLE???? GOSH IM FEELING LIKE A LONER HEHEHE ...I CHAT WAY TO MUCH... IF I CAN GET SOME FUN GOING AT A TABLE ..WICH HAPPENS A LOT....I JUST DONT WANT TO DEAL ABOUT WORRING ABOUT ANOTHER HAND......HECK ONE IS HARD ENOUGH IF IM A CHATTER BOX.....SO PICK MY ROOM IF U CAN CHAT IN BETWEEN ALL THOSE OTHERS U MIGHT BE PLAYING.......

Recently I've been playing 2 full-ring LHE or Stud tables with 1 3D 2-7 lowball SNG on the side (or PL 5CD). I usually play 2-3 turbos at a time: I seem to fare better in them since I'm more disciplined and patient (not as much as in a regular SNG, but stil...). Only thing that bugs me is when I get HU on two tables at once, since the hands go so fast, but I'm working on that.

Keeps me from getting bored and I often get to see people who are also multitabling tendencies faster.
