Hi there!
Sometimes i buy-in even 6 tournament straight in a single day and loose them all in early or mid stages,
Then i know i should stop playing tournaments in that day?
How is your plan in such days? will you rebuy or will you buyin in another tournament or you will stop playing just like me?

Sometimes 4 to 5 tournaments a day. Including freerolls maybe 8-10.
The free rolls sometimes feel harder 8000 players and only top 54 being paid.
But normally I am playing 3 tourneys at a time.

1-2 tournaments per day. Poker is a hobby, so I don't spend much time on it

one or two..
I need to see the sun and sleep well

I can play only a few tournaments and after I get tired mostly only 2 or 3 games cause too long sitting on MTT getting bored and making bring some kind of health issues and the quality and fun of playing poker will wash out. Sometimes I guess need to have some kind of balance or harmony may be to be better quality and fun games.
I got a question how to balance personal life with poker games is kind annoying sitting whole day before the monitor and collect some kind of anxiety inside of you

I normally play 6 tournaments per day ... two freerolls and 4 buy-in microlimits ... with that it is enough for me .... sometimes I do well and I win some prize .... and other days I don't win anything ...! but I really enjoy it ...!

Hi, I play myself depending on the time and circumstances) if the game is going well then I can play from 6-9 tournaments, if not very much I try to distract myself from poker for a while, to be honest it helps a lot)

tournaments are different.If these are short tournaments.I can play both 3 and 4.Sometimes I win and sometimes the other way around. But the big tournament is a challenge.And you can't get more than one.If you want to win.

If I run deep, mentally 2 tournaments.

If I am losing quick 15 tournaments lol

I think so, poker is not my job, so I don't want to spend too much time on it. There are many more important and interesting things.

One if i'm good enough.

I play 1 tournament per day if it goes wrong or I lose early I buy 1 or 2 more, but I like to have fun with the spin and go microlimits

Hmm i don't know,sometimes 2 sometimes 6 and sometimes eve moer.
But i think only 1 is enough for one day.
Ok maybe 2,over that is rly a lot for human body.

A couple of tournaments, besides poker, there are other activities.

I try to play the maximum possible number of freerolls per day and tournaments that catch my eye... This is about 5 tournaments a day, sometimes more, sometimes less... Plus or minus 2

Dont count them but i wouldn't be too surprised if it's 10+ lol

In a busy day I play 1 or 2 freerolls. But in my resting days I play 5 or 6 tournaments. But I just play freerolls... And I dont stop when I loose.

I'm agree with most of you guys we should play more when we are on a good run and we're enjoying tournaments but sometimes greed won't let the logical part of brain works properly =))))

I play as many freerolls a day as possible and tournaments that catch my eye ... There are about 5 tournaments a day, sometimes

I think it's just a losing streak, many players participate in around 20 tournaments a day. You just have to be patient, try to play less tournaments

Try not to play so many tournaments-start with two at the same time and see what happens.Follow the bankroll and constantly analyze your game if necessary, do not scold the players who moved you, but yourself for being in this situation.

I just play the one tournament a day. I like to focus on the one for that day.

running very bad so just playing freerolls which is 2 or 3 a day but 8 to 10 on weekends

On average, it is 1-2 MTTs a day, but I play Sit & Go tournaments in the DON format much more often (a dozen or so a day, mainly mobile).

I try to play as many tournaments as possible in 8 hours. So that later you can more or less understand your mistakes and correct them in the future.

I play on time, start tables in the evening and stop registering in 2-3 hours.

I mainly play cash games, but when I play tournaments I play no more than four tournaments a day

You don't need to play a lot of tournaments a day, and even more so spend the whole day on the game. This is not correct. Maximum 2 tournaments and analyze your mistakes.

This is an interesting question that will vary highly depending on the individual. I think the main considerations to take into account are the variance inherent in the game, your mental state as the day progresses, and simply how much time you'd like to spend on the tables. These considerations are taken under the assumption that you are following proper bankroll management, but your bankroll could be a fourth factor if you're not managing it well.

The first point regarding variance is important for me because I am trying to build a bankroll (started at $0 in freerolls, and now it's up to approx. $300). To overcome the variance inherent in the game, you need to put in some pretty decent volume in terms of number of tournaments and hands played (or get incredibly lucky xD). Therefore, I try to register for as many within my buy-in level that I can still manage to handle. For me, I prefer to play only 4 tables at a time, but I don't mind registering for new tournaments if I bust out early or in the middle of one of the initial four. I personally don't like rebuying because I like to start on an equal footing, but I know that many better players than I rebuy all the time.

The second point concerning mental state typically applies to when you're playing several tournaments for an extended period of time. If you're tilting and it's affecting your play, it's probably not a good idea to continue registering or rebuying. Furthermore, it'd probably be a good idea to take a break, walk around, and clear the head so as not to tilt into any more mistakes in whatever tournament(s) in which you still remain.


For me and the tournaments that I am currently playing (super micros from $.27 to the occasional $4.40 and $6.60 micros/small stakes), the timing works out such that there are sort of two shifts I can choose to take--the morning shift with registrations starting from 0630 through 0830 and the evening shift with registrations starting from 1600 through 1800. My last point (how much I want to play) determines which day(s) and shift(s) I choose to play. Some days I don't play at all and will do some yardwork or auto detailing. Some days I'll play the morning shift and might go really badly, so I'm not in the mood to play in the evening. Or the same is true and it makes me want to play in the evening (not through tilt) to try to get some wins. Or I just want to play all day, then I do!

So, personally, depending on those factors, I play anywhere from 0 - 20 tournaments per day. On an average day, I'd say it's probably around 12.

used to do multiple tables at once but it got messy, guess i can't multi-task
now i have a single table running at most, while i do other things (work, netflix, etc)

Depends on the person and time available. Some days I cram tournaments all day (3-4 tables at a time), and others I play just a few. I'm pretty good at stopping when I need to.

Yes this is what i noticed, with cash tables i can open like 8 tables and feel just fine.
But with mtts my effectiveness drops significantly with more then 2 or 3.
Now i only play 1 mtt at a time, and few cash tables.

I play more then 1 tournament per day and less then 4. Around 2-3 tournaments.

How is your plan in such days? will you rebuy or will you buyin in another tournament or you will stop playing just like me?

If it's freerolls, I play as many as I can.

With buy-in tournaments, I only play one at a time. No matter what anyone says, If you're playing multiple tournaments at one time, your attention is divided by the same number that you're in. If your attention isn't divided, than you are throwing your money away on the one's that aren't getting attention, so why be in them?

I play as many tournaments as I can and as much time as I can.

GENERAL, I PLAY UP TO THREE TIMES A DAY. BECAUSE I LIKE TO BALANCE MY DAILY ROUTINE AND DON'T SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY PLAYING POKER, BECAUSE BECAUSE THE EXCESS OF GAMES STRESSED SO MUCH.

I usually play twice a day, in the burning and at night and if I go far in a tournament then all morning, until they eliminate me ... to avoid wearing out my mind so much ...

total 30+ in 24 hours
at one time 2-3 but mostly just 1

I play about 12 tournaments a day on weekends. During the work week, I play about 2 tournaments. Only cause i need to get to sleep early. Starting Friday i play poker way more. Cause I don't have to get up early. Friday, Saturday I play as much as I can. I just wish all poker sites had phone apps for all sites. Well good all and see you at the tables.

I think 6 would be nice. Many more you can stressful too

If I lose 3 tournaments, I don’t play anymore that day. So it’s not my day, and there’s no point in playing.

Normaly I play 3 or 4.

I play freerolls mostly freerolls so it depends on how many good freerolls

I play 1-4 tournaments

How many tournaments you should play in a day is a tricky question. Depends on so many factors. Do you play just for fun? Do you expect to win money? Are you new to poker? if that's the case then you should probably play a lot of hands so registering to more tournaments its a good ideea.

Personally, when I'm really in a mood for poker and I lose early on in a tournament I usually register into another tournament right away, but if I'm tilted I just take a break. If you can't concentrate 100% on what you want to achieve it's better to take a break. You won't get anywhere if you get right away into another tournament feeling like that.

Another thing that I take into consideration is how "lucky" I feel on that particular day. We all had that day when we get hit with the right cards all the time and other days when you just can't win a hand. On those days I just say pass...but that's me. Maybe others have better suggestions.

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll play 1-2, sometimes I'll play 15-20 in a day (The on-demand SnGs with roughly 30-50 people on average) if I'm feeling good and on a good run, and feel like playing for awhile at 4 tables at a time.

Обычно я играю 5 или 7

One or two. But I prefer to play one at a time!

I think everyone has such days when you play on your field in the form of tournaments and as nikruti you do not go into them, I in this case do rebay, and if I catch a bad mood, I just stop playing, realizing that tomorrow I will be waiting for the same clearing in which you need to give your best to the full)

I play 2-3 freerolls a day plus 1-2 buy-ins,,,
