Single tabling for sure yes.

For multi table grinding it's too hard to get reads on others on other table while you handle other ones.

I play through the laptop and through the mobile phone. with a laptop convenient to play short games. and with mobile long tournaments, because you can move with the mobile. and you can easily have a snack, smoke or go to the toilet.

I played on my cell phone, I assure you, the experience was not very pleasant. I got written wrong in a tournament. I lost all my bankroll :( I'm now with zero bank, not to mention that I did not like playing on my cell phone, it just happened because I was in trouble notbook with poker stars.

I'm in a situation where the people I'm living with don't like me using a vpn, so unless I'm home alone, I have to use my phone to play on some sites. I can tell you its very much a pain and my success rate is much higher playing from my compute. Some sites like 888 you can only play one table at a time.

Playing on mobile phone it is more entertainment than gambling...
depending on what you want to get at that moment, either thrills and chills or fun!

I use my mobile only and i had a problem once with the conection because of a weak wi-fi, thus i lost a pot of 13$ (which did mean a lot for me at that time) now i just watch my conection status but still play on my mobile app

I play on my phone all the time, mainly for convenience. I can play anywhere and even when doing housework. I had my android tablet open on a stand so I could just tap the buttons I needed to while walking about.

I like the Pokerstars app as I can have several tables open and switch between them easily, it looks good too and is easy to use. The 888 Poker app is not as nice, but works. You can only play one table at a time, and not all the Sit & Go's are available.

I would recommend the Pokerstars app on mobile, and the 888 app if you're desperate.

If you want a cheap alternative, windows tablets are available and work really well with any windows applications

Yesterday is at Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo, is connecting, then I sign up to play the freeroll of the dayCarschat club, when the tournament began my boarding gate opened, so I thought I need to fold to be absent .. it worked out 3 all in a row my K9s X 77 held on the river with a 9, I boarded the plane and went for my fast journey of just 40 minutes, when the plane landed I immediately joined PokerStars to see how the tournament was, I was in ITM with 3 thousand chips lol, wonder. I finished at 18, if I'm not mistaken. Playing on the cell phone is good sometimes ...

I have yet to install a poker app on my phone but I remote to my PC regularly. Generally this has helped a lot with long MTT's as I have literally been able to leave the house without missing a hand. Only reason I do not download an app for the sites I could do this on, is because my remote access is pretty solid. and it it connects directly to my PC so I do not have to worry about compatibility.

Works if you have to go to the bathroom as wel or go into any other room of the house for w/e.. But ultimately I prefer playing on a large screen that is easy to read and wired to my internet connection instead of using wifi or the phone.

Android is best. Don't advertise windows for tablet or phone seriously even Apple is better than Windows at those things. Windows dominates computers, tablets and phones are Android's dominion.
I'm not disputing that other tablets are better, but when I had my windows tablet I loved it. It had a desktop mode and was set up like a PC, but handheld. If you want to play poker like you would on a PC, except portable, that is an option. I got mine for £50 a few years ago, they're a fraction of the price of an ipad

I always play from my mobile because of its mobility. So, you are not nailed at your chair, can walk around, lay back, do other things in parallel etc. Unfortunately, it is limited to 4 tables, does not support home games and lacks couple of other small features. All in all mobile app is more comfortable

To be honest, i don,t understand how to play poker on mobile. If you need to play 2-3 tables, i think it will be really uncomfortable at mobile.

I definitely prefer playing on the computer. You have access to all of the features and graphics that the poker site provides, plus you can multi-table. I play on a tablet/phone sometimes, but can only play one table at a time and sometimes have to worry about connectivity issues.

PC with multi-monitor wired, as in no wifi.

Phone/tablet is used to remote into PC if I have to run to the kitchen or bathroom; but not if I am playing more than two tables

I don't cheat with HUD I use real reads and real analysis. I'm better with online than IRL because my entire brainpower is focused on actions I make rather than how I look and worrying about a physical tell.

I am equally potent on phone and pc because I usually only play two at once and mostly just single table.

I prefer playing on mobile phone that allows to be more mobile) Not a multi-tabler and don't need many tables. Sooner or later everything will be mobile. Just accept it [emoji1]

So, you're not going to use HUDs when you install poker tracker?

...If you install poker tracker.
