When I play more then one table my quality of playing is getting worse, I make many mistakes, I cannow concentrate and remember the actions of players// so... HOW CAN YOU DO IT?? :confused: :confused: or are the actions of other players not important? The most important thing is our own actions??? How do many people play 4, 8, 16 tables AT THE SAME TIME???? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
What environment are you playing in? The environment can take a lot of your attention. Look for a quiet environment to play, without major visual and auditory distractions, don't keep an eye on your social networks or anything other than the poker table. Over time you will get used to it. If you want to play more than one table too, go ahead, start with two and increase as you feel comfortable. I've heard that Jurojin is a good tool for organizing tables, as unfortunately my computer only allows Windows 8.1 or less, I haven't been able to test it yet, but I've heard very well.

Literally 10 days ago on YouTube I came across a Ukrainian blogger, an ambassador, and a bunch of other poker titles, he played 10-12:oops: tables, he also managed to analyze, explain, etc. there. I looked but didn’t understand how it is, I have 4 tables, I constantly don’t have time and go to sit out

I face the same situation when playing MTT, mainly in freerolls and low buy-ins. I think this hard because we do not master all ranges x positions and new players are used to limp and go into action all the time, which makes quite difficult for us to make good readings and profitable decision on a timely way. Thereby, just study and practice can make us to get better on playing MTT over time.

I think we need to gradually increase the number of tables, and train mindfulness over time

Hello everyone.
I tryed multitabling several times. Every time it was hard. I just didn't have an attention enough.
I think it's not my way. It's better to play less but better.
Good luck at the tables.

I play 3-4 tables at the same time. But I have been playing poker for about 4-5 years now. When I started I also couldn't play more than one table, but every year I actually added one table. And so gradually, now I already play 3-4 tables.

For me, is about betting in higher possibilities with less performance. I personally play perfectly two games at the same time, specially if is turbo or hyper. But sometimes the tourneys happens at the same time, so is better to have a chance in all of them even if playing at a lower performance. I also recommend coffee,:LOL:

I really do not like it, I only play with 2 tables at most, More than that it's hard to focus on the players' actions.
I think the same. For me, 3~4 tables maximum, but is very very rare me doing that.

When I started playing I played way too many hands and 3 tables was what I was comfortable with. Once I made the adjustment to playing 20% VPIP(ish), I went to 6 tables immediately with no effort. Than over time I got bored with the 6 tables and now can add up to 12. As your strategy gets more refined you won't have to think as much about every single little spot. A lot of the time it feels like I am just on autopilot.

Probably why advanced players say you don't learn much playing Poker, you learn studying it.

Playing 2 tables is more than enough for any poker player. Then you don't p### off the players on table 3,4,5 etc...when you keep holding up the hand or having run down the clock, when you're not paying attention.

I know what you mean! Sometimes i´m play better, if i play on two tables at the same time, because i have not so much time between the hands and i don´t get so fast boring of waiting for the next hand. So i play better at both tables than at once :)

I guess it's a matter of practice and getting used to it.
In the good old days I played 8 to 12 cashgame tables without any problems.
Today, as a German, I am limited to 4 tables due to the ingenious legislation of our politicians. In zoom or snap tables or whatever the poker sites call this variant that is ok.
When I play sng's, however, 4 tables are boring as hell.

Thanks for being sincere and assuming your weakness to us. I recommend you open just one single table at a time until you get very profitable.
When you start to make more than 5 BB/ 100 BB per hour played, you can think about opening a second table.
For lower limits I would recommend a winrate of 10 BB/100 BB, cause the rake structure is heaviest.
Players who are able to play in 4, 8, 16 tables are solid regulars who have been playing for a long time, they are poker Grand Masters!
Assume your own level and capacity, first know yourself and your capabilities and don’t be shy, just continue studying and someday you will achieve the ability to play several tables at once.
I like to compare it to chess: only a few chess Grand Master can beat a lot of players/tables, and to get there is required many years of solid discipline and study.
Don’t be in a hush, for what is the point of opening more tables to have less success/a minimum winrate? Isn’t much better to have a winrate or 15 BB/100 BB playing just one table than having a poor winrate of 3 BB/100 BB playing 4 tables?
For instance, if we are playing 6-MAX tables we are paying the blinds 1 out of 3 hands played and we are facing 5 opponents at once. If we open just another table we are paying more blinds against 10 opponents! Do you see the difference? And all of this out of consideration for the rake structure.
Be calm, patient and let the chips fall as they may!
The greatest kings of this world were humble and simple people, follow their lead!
Thanks a lot for your contribution, have a nice day.
