if you play more tables than you're used to, you won't be able to concentrate on all of them especially in the final stages of tournaments where you need to have a timely reading of the opponents to make the best EV+ play.

The ideal is to open tables as it becomes comfortable for you to play without compromising your design during the hands.

I'm a beginner poker player and I tend to play only concentrated at one table to get good results in the long run.

I can play at two tables or three tables, but I can't concentrate on more tables.

You are right about the final stages, especially if you are playing many SNGs simultaneously and you reach the bubble time in a couple of them , when the action starts coming around rapidly.
The best thing to do is to focus on one table for a while, then two, then three and so on as long as it remains confortable till you hit your limit.

its very difficult for me to play more than 6 tables simultaneously and 4 tables is the most that i can comfortably play.

I play only one table at a time it’s easier to concentrate.

Usually I prefer to play 4 tables at the same because I can see all the tables in my screen, but sometimes I play 5-6 tables. I don't like to play more tables than that.

The best is to play to a number of games you can watch, and really take part in the game. This is 2-4 games. If you play to games you cannot watch, it is a situation based to luck.

It depends a lot on the format I am playing and what my game intention is at that exact moment, but for sng's I like to open 6 to 8 screens, cash games 2 to 4 tables, zoom 2 tables, mtt 4~6 tables, and depending on the buy in I prefer to dedicate myself to only one or even 3 tables at the most, did you tried out play?? wich games are you solid playing?

if I'm playing cash, I like to play 4 tables at zoom, but if I'm playing tournaments I like to play 6 to 8 tables, I like to be always focused that's why I play that amount, I have met many players who play more than 10 tables, crazy, everyone chooses the tables they want and that best suits them that day.

Unfortunately at the moment I only play at one table because I only use my phone to play, when I used to play on my PC I used to play at 6 tables at once

Typically 8 to 12 tables at a time if you can get that many tournaments flowing simultaneously. You have to run multiple sites if you even want to have a slim chance now days.

I have said something very similar a couple of times when someone asks in the forum: how many tables do they play at the same time, I have always said that over time you adapt to the number of tables or tournaments that you can play at the same time, there are people who they can only play in 1, others in 6 tables or more, everything is in your level of concentration, you don't have to invent much and go little by little

Stick with only 1 or 2 tables for a while, until you get a very good grasp on the style of play that works best for you. You can only benefit from paying close attention to the intricacies of the play at your table, especially from known winning regulars.

3-4. It's really not worth playing many tables, I tell you as a person who has played 10 tables.. you miss the opportunity to read opponents normally, you become some kind of Autobot. The game gets boring after that.
