My max is around 16 tables. I did it just for the experiment and ended up losing bunch of buy-ins on 0.25$ SNG. I barely could make a decision since the next table is appearing to waiting to act. It really affects your game. You'll probably make bunch of mistakes if you're not used to a lot of tables.

I dont like playing more then 2 or 3 games at once. I dont like a table for me to make a decision at other table and clock is running down on that one. no way to get betting patterns on players etc

Zoom I play on 4 tables. MTTs 12+. But all HU and spin n go only o 1 table because I have to fell my opp playing that disciplines.

I play in 4 or 5 tables at the same time, I think playing too many tables at the same time could affect your concentration.

I played on 6 tables and I was tired, I had to act fast and I didn't make good decisions so I gave up playing more than 2 tables at the same time.

I used to play up to 12 tables but got tired pretty fast.. now i am trying to limit my table count to 4 to be able to take better decisions but sometime i still have 6 up

I play for fun, so usually one or two, 5 tables is pretty much my max to keep track of things..

I prefer 2 tables but sometimes I play a maximum of 3, I played 4 tables once and I didn't like it, above 3 I don't pay attention.

I usually just play one maybe two but two is the max that I will do especially on BetOnline that has a low 20 second time bank.

4 the table most optimal. Enough to play and to make informed decisions

I prefer 4 tables. Since I can still overlook everything and take notes. And there are also less concentration mistakes than playing 8 tables.

But when I play SnG on stars, I also have 6-8 tables. The decisions are often easier here and not as complex as in tournaments. Because more push or fold situations.

I played at most 4 tables, I did not like it, the concentration was lost after 2 hours of play. Now I play not more 2 tables, without losses concentration, can so play the entire day with breaks 10-15 minutes through every 2 hours.

Hi, i play max 4 Spin&Go table, but most often 2 mtt table

in the last time try to play one the table, sometimes two, and the the second so short game spin & go, prevents concentration and very distracts, not have time well otsen situation and the table...

Here lately I try not to run more than two or three games at once, that is partly because of my computer and it can't handle too many tables for too long. Especially if the HUD is running. It really depends on what your are playing IMO. If you are running cash tables that are always going to be full four to six is probably OK. If you are playing Sit and goes or MTTs and end up running deep in a couple of them, getting short handed (6 or less) can really speed up a table and make it harder to multi-table if you end up on two or more short handed tables. This problem increases when you are ITM and heads up.

So far I have tried to play on three tables and no more. For me, this is a comfortable number of tables at the moment.

2 or 3 max tables. Too many decisions and no enough time. Concentrate on beating 2 tables before going more

Played 9-12 tables for like 6 years, worked fine for me. 12 tables is easy on two 24" monitors. I could play more with a better setup... modern ultrawide screen could be helpful for me in 2010. Also I haven't used keyboard shortcuts for 12 tables...

I practiced playing 16-18 tables for a month when I've decided to move up from 8 to 12 tables. It was a total mess, and for the practice I've played micro limits, paid like $200 for a month of practicing... But when I moved down from 16 to 12... It was comfortable. I did the same practice when moved up from 4 tables to 6, from 6 to 8... played more tables for a month. It's like you're practicing boxing against 5 opponents at the same time for a long time, and then suddenly 2 guys want to beat you at the street... it'll be easy.

I rarely play 2 tables at the same time. Mostly if 2 interesting tournys run. Ok mostly because I didn't notice they are at the same time.

I can play 4 max but play two most of the time anything over 4 this old man cant keep up.

I used to play 4-5 cash tables at a time or 2-3 sng tables...but I find I do better playing just 1 or 2 tables...some people play insane amounts of tables...I know Katie Dozier ( a big sng player) has stated she played up to 40 tables at a time..that to me is insane...but if you make money doing it go for it...

Hello I am interested to know how many tables you play to win once I play my top 6 come more may be all the practice and possibilities what you think

I play 2 max 4 tournament or spin&go table

The best for me is playing 4 tournaments at once, but i like to play 6-8 it's more interesting for me)

I play four tables as it fits on my monitor the best. Might consider more tables with a bigger monitor. But just getting back into poker after years away, four is enough.

I'm playing, 1-2 tournament tables at a time

I can play up to 6 tables but it's really scatter my attention

I played on 16 tables. There is no concentration, the game is only on the charts. Played a plus but very small. At the moment I play at 2 spin-and-go tables, and at 2-3 tournament tables, and I can concentrate, watch the players and make notes, this brings more profit than 1-2 years ago.

Max 2 games... More i can´t handle ...

Nowadays one or two tables is fine for me . 3 I start having some problems , more is complete failure . In the past I tried 10-12 tables , I was losing one buy-in after the other in the cash tables , in MTTs no success at all .

I sometimes play on two tables, but the majority of time only on one, cause I like to watch how other players are playing too.

I prefer to play two tables, but you can play three, if 9 players each. If more tables are already hard to play ... It would be easier if each table has a separate monitor)

I usually play 4 tables, HUD helps a lot.

20 double tables or not at pokerstars 1.10 but to to score points and to redeem things, it is impossible to be concentrated today at most 6 and can be concentrated with music, 4 is also good number, I managed to stay focused watching the tables if you can not see them at the same time it is impossible to be focused

The best playing poker for me is on 1 table. Then i can focus only on this game. It doesn't mean that i don't play on more than 1 table. It happens that i play even ov 4 tables but it's too annoying for me. Max 2 tables is good.

Hello,I play up to 6 tables at once.As I play in three poker sites and there are many freerolls to play ,that is my limit..Sometimes it´s a little bit tiring ..

I don't know if it's good or bad but I prefer to play only 2 tables at a time to better focus on tournaments! it's been working even because the tournaments I'm playing are turbo, so it's hard to think for a while

I'm not comfortable with more than 4 tables, I find it hard to follow action and I make worse decisions. 2-3 works better for me. For mixed games one table is enough - playing Badeucey on one table and Badacey on another makes for confusion and mistakes... ;p

A maximum of 5 tables...

Six tables is the max I can play. If I play more tables, I can't have enough time to make smart decisions.

I can handle 8-9 tables when i'm not tired. I talk about 9 man sngs

Playing on five tables with 9 players each, I already feel discomfort, more tables - more mistakes.

4 Tables of Zoom
6 Tables of shorthanded poker
9 Tables of full ring poker

These are my personal sweet spots where I feel I don't give up much concentration but still get to maximize my volume.

This is a really short and to the point video I made on the topic which I think you'll find helpful -->

You Tube

Good luck on your poker journey!

For me, at the moment, it's three.

(I'm stuck on mobile)

2 tables are enough because I can be focused on opponents moves

It depends on the day, but I like to have control of the tables and not to be in many tables, play between 2 to 6 tables, this with 2 monitors.

Hi There
I prefer One or 2 max tables
I really dont see how you can concentrate above that
Rgds

I like to play only one table. I need full concentration to play at a high level.

I've been able to play as meny as 12..... most optimal at around 4-6.
