Because the question was addressed in my previous thread, I ask you how many tables do you usually play poker at the same time? What is the optimum number according to you?

Only 4 maximum and minimum 1 table I don't like play to much table at same time , that is crazy but admire the people who can do that.

I also do not understand it is difficult to play as many tables, very much you can skip

I prefer playing two tables and maximum is four.

3 at the most, my eyes are not that great & any more makes the tables too small for me to see the cards !! LOL

I tried playing 4 at once on my tiny little MacBook Air and almost had a seizure

I can play up to 8 comfortably but 6 is my sweet spot.

I used to play 8 plo tables at the same time. Have two monitors at home, 4 on each screen. I am lucky/unlucky in being obsessive compulsive. I can concentrate for long hours. When you do something often enough it feels normal, even though it is not.

I think the big problem with multi tabling is how you react to a bad beat. Because it affects you on 3 or 4 or 7 tables, and can get you into tilt mode quite quickly, which is now magnified.

Conclusion: between 2 and 4 tables according to the player's ability.

Probably resolution of the screen matters as well.
Playing 4+ tables on crappy display can be tough

That's why I do not usually play more than 4 tables.

How do you manage 4 tables at once? That sounds confusing.

I only play 1 sometimes 2 but I try to put all my concentration on the game im playing in order to make notes and keep track of my opponents

Nothing strange, it's very difficult to manage a large number of tables. Attention is not enough.

No more than 3 tables. Mostly 2.

I've played 6-8 but I can focus my best with 4 max unless it's heads up tables then 2 max

I play well with maximun 4 tables, more than that becames hard.

play two tables mtt/mtsng, or more if i placed good itm.

As maximum floor play in 3 tables, usually 2 different rooms as pokertars and 888, agreeing some mtt with cash tables and where possible different modalities, be it holdem, plo or stud. Of course I am a recreational player, I think that more tables will distort my concentration.

few times 2tables..and others day play 3 tables..

3 tables every day for 5hours!

Recently no more than 4 tables, I play only tournaments, I also write notes on the players, so I do not feel comfortable playing more tables.

I also take notes, but on 4 tables, I do not have time. So if I play tournaments, then only two max. But if not tournaments, then up to four.

If i am playing a large $ Tourney, 1. All ATTN and focus has to be on that 1 tourney. If im at Cash Tables anywhere from 4 to 10.

I will play up to 4 comfortably as that's what will fit on my screen without totally overlapping. I have played up to 6 tournaments on sites that allow me to make the tables small enough.
I play only all tournaments or only all cash, never mix the two, they are different games and can get too confusing.

No more than 3 (tournaments).
