I know most online poker players play in more than one table at once, normally from 5-10 i would say. I normally play 4-6 tables at once, the problem in this is that i lose track on the information about certain players.

I normally start winning small in a table and i start paying attention to that table. In that table i'll get how some players play, and i eventually take that in my advantage and i will start winning more on that table. Problem is, by focusing on that one table, i lose information on other tables, don't pay so much attention, and i eventually start losing 2 or 3 dollars(i play 100nl) on some of the other tables, and sometimes i make mistakes like going over the top with top pair and see the other guy turn an overpair, and these mistakes i probably wouldn't make if i actually paid more attention to these losing tables.

Anyways, does this happen to everyone or is there any way to make the multi tables thing more successful? I still win a couple dollars per session, that's why i don't drop to lower tables, but maybe i should, i don't know.

i cant play in more than 2 tables at the same time... if you couldnt concentrate on playing 4 tournaments at the same times why dont you just play at once or maybe 2 tournaments only????... playing in only one table will make you focused only in this tournament, so i think it will be better for you to play only 1 or 2 games at the same time...

Yes, I often multi-table about 4 tables. I do the same thing. Once I start doing good on a 1 or 2 of the tables I close the others one out and just focus on those. It works pretty good for me. Goodluck!!

If you play sngs try one tabling until you reach the money, then start a new table as soon as you hit a cash and repeat. By the end of the 1st game your a good way through the next and you already have plenty of information on your first table. Playing this way is helpfull if you having trouble.
