style essentially shouldn't change, tag being the style of choice for the grinders obviously. The difference that may be noticed is that if you are only playing a single table vs say maybe 6-8 tables is that your full attention is on a single table and perhaps this will allow you the ability to get better reads and try moves that you couldn't running accross multiple table.

Obviously sometimes you could chose to play a different style if you wanted running a single table, perhaps a lag style if it feels right for the game and you don't mind the swings that can come from it.

But whether you play 1 table or 20 tables your approach more or less should remain constant unless you make the conscience choice to play differently.

As you start out with multi-tabling, you certainly are going to play a more robotic, ABC style if you don't want to lose your shirt quickly.

This is why your winrate (bb/100) decreases when you add tables -- you're playing a tighter range and so a lot fewer hands. The idea being you're seeing a lot MORE volume of hands, so your hourly rate should increase to compensate for the winrate loss, especially if you're on a rakeback plan or a VIP program that redeems for cash.

As you gain experience with multi-tabling, and use a HUD to offset the disadvantage of not being able to fully concentrate on a single table, your reaction and "thinking" time can improve to the point that you can play a more dynamic style that adapts to the players at each table.

I prefer multi-tabling when I play rush poker, I think I play better, I play more agressive because I have to do every move quickly.

For me Multitabling about 4 tables is the limit, I can play, my concentration does not make it to more tables and my decisions getting awfull .If I focus to not more than 2 tables at a time I can play my A-Game

I think when you play multiple tables need more concentration as that in every table you shall not think the same play serai absurd, so there should be well focused. Time to Play Multi Table.

Well to some extent, but only because I have less information to act on - I am still a nit no matter how many tables I play. But due to less information, I have to be tighter pre flop as I am less likely to be able to work out how to proceed with 78s or JQoff post flop, hence they get folded (for the most part) when 6 tabling, perhaps I would play then if I was 1 tabling.

If you play in more than 1 table:
You don't concentrate to one table.
You do very fast folds, because you have good hand to another table.
You call with pretty low hands, if your stack in one of table is very big and you just don't think about few blinds raise.
You have less fear to get busted, because you have chance to win with other entry (multi-entry tournaments.)

in my case, more tables included causes very large errors in the game

In many table MTTs, you tend to risk more as you can go bust any time therefore you are fearless but in single table patience is key. You have more time to analyse your opponents so you can predict his game.

The only time I single table is when playing live. It takes me a couple beers an hour easy to not die of boredom.

I'm not sure how anyone can play less than 8 tables or so. Hell, I play 18 tables of 6max and several of them will be HU or 3 handed quite often.

I don't know about multi-tabling, i can't see the point if your serious about your game. Maybe 2 or 3, but after that time limits start to factor in, unless your playing lottery style and snap fold, call or raise. Maybe i am just a nit, but i have had to play 3 different games at once due to the games being on different sites at the same time, and not having a choice in the matter. I found it difficult to concentrate with the screens flip flopping quickly sometimes, and the 'carry over' as i call it. I would clik on call, or fold, and just as i clik the dam screen changes, carrying my command of say fold, to another table i was intending to raise on. Yea, i know how to tile tables, but old man can't see very well so i try to avoid that. Maybe if i could find a 60 inch monitor i could see tiled tables better, but so far haven't seen any of those animals. 18 tables at once? I just don't see how you could give a hand more than a seconds thought before acting.:hmmmm2:

This is a common and understandable assumption for people who haven't learned how to multi-table, but the reality is the *most* serious online players are in fact multi-tabling. There's way too much value and profit to be made not to, especially when part of your earnings come from volume-based incentives like RB or FPPs or whatever. However it's not a place you get to overnight.

When you're just learning to play, or have only ever played one table, adding tables seems really hard and detrimental to your game. And it is, at first. That's why you move slowly. The adjustment is much bigger for your 2nd or 3rd table than it is for your 12th or 20th. Your brain and reaction time will quickly adjust, and despite myths to the contrary, you *can* learn to actually think about each hand and make plays based on that particular table's dynamics. Here is where having a HUD is almost a must, but generally any serious online player will have been using a tracker/HUD well before this point anyway.

I typically won't even bother playing if I can't get 6 tables going -- the boredom kills me and I just don't enjoy myself. And that's playing 6-max; when I played FR I played 12-16 tables. And as a US player this can sometimes be a challenge with player liquidity being as poor as it is at my favorite site. Fortunately my preferred game allows me to keep at least 6-8 tables going pretty much constantly once I get the first 6 or so started.
