Playing on several screens, what do you take into account?
Quality or quantity?


Soon several people have a great difficulty in maintaining quality when going from 8 tables due to the lack of time to analyze their opponent.
What do you do in this situation?

I prefer to play fewer tables and prioritize the quality of decisions. In the long run, it is more profitable to play fewer tables and have a good profit on them than playing many tables with an average or bad use

I'm not used to playing at multiple tables because I can not concentrate on the game very well.If you are a beginner I recommend a table max two

For me it depends what kind of game I play and the buy-in. As higher the buy-in as less tables I prefer. But if they are cheap or freerolls I like to play at several tables.
Also it is more easy to play several nine-handed tables than tables with less people.
Sometimes I also mix it up, one table with long blind increasing and one with faster speed. It also depends on my mood and my concentration.

I know that quality of my decisions lowers with 6+ tables. So I'm trying to avoid such situations.

I try to limit myself to just a few tables. Having more than one table keeps me more interested in the game and from making stupid moves to keep myself entertained so to speak. There is a point however where too many tables become overwhelming and you are no longer able to keep track of what is going on without a HUD and a substantial sample of hands.

That's right, when you're literally playing poker, the volume makes no difference when your logic is reduced. But the ideal is always to improve your game on several tables so you can increase your profit proportionately!

For beginners is not good several screens, I myself can not get my output well while passing 4 screens, making good decisions can take time. Hint hints friend.

Я иногда позволяю себе играть на 4 столах, качество, конечно, хромое, но иногда вы не можете позволить себе сыграть номер!

We always need to respect bankroll first. Regarding to feel comfortable playing 4 very good tables, many do not know the point of balance between quality and quantity. With training you increase gradually.

Exactly, you must first know how to play with a table. Being profitable with a table you do this by increasing the tables weekly.

I play in 2 tables and for me it's normal that I can normally focus and play quality and see how the players play at the table, I tried to play a lot of tables and I do not focus on the game and I fly out of tournaments or I lose in the cash game, I prefer two tables,
to play and concentrate on these tables and on the players!

Two tables here, maybe three depending on how slow players are. I'm usually playing like this

CASH - SPIN&GO - TOURNEY
CASH - ZOOM/SNAP
ZOOM/SNAP - SPIN/SIT&GO

I also sit out if I need more time at a table, if I'm winning a tourney or going heads up.

Try to increase one table at a time each week. Usually people can adapt that way.
The ideal is also to use HUD above 6 tables.
Jivaro is cheap and functional.
Once you get a good profit you can switch to HM2 or PT4.

Good hint.


This way the volume increases.

Olá BR bro

Both: quality and volume, because when you built your decision tree, you can make decisions very quickly, so it's very profitable increase your volume as much as you are able. But the point is how can you get more profitable? It is like "It's not personal, it's business", no feelings, just reason, it's not to satisfying my heart, but my wallet.

Accurate, and increasing volume weekly, your mante adapts to analyze and respond faster.
And it's also important to remember that when we get to the top in terms of quantity, it will be necessary to keep one more focus in your mind. Because if you have in Tilt the risk of losses is very great.
Soon you can enter Downswing without noticing.

Good evening everyone!I do not understand how you can play more than 4 tables, the action disappears, the player turns into a robot that plays with a computer program! Disappears poker thinking, logic and the game itself turns into a chaotic push of buttons!

I think the main thing is the quality of the game. The fewer tables you play simultaneously, the greater the concentration of attention and, accordingly, the higher winrate.
