more than 20. but only if I am not distracted by anything else. YouTube, social networks are as distracting as possible. the ability to concentrate is one of the most important in a poker game.

Similar to a lot of replys I like to play 4 at a time to devote proper attention to the game. I have gone up to 9 but it is too much for me to remain profitbale.

I am GUILTY of slowing up some games due to playing too many at once...

Ideally 3 games is a comfortable number for me,....but on SOME days,...there are just too many lucrative freerolls in addition to my regular array to just let them go....BUT...

...I've also learned from Phil Hellmuth that procrastination is also a strategy that seems to throw some folks off their game thereby causing them to make bad moves...!:)

for me I try not to play more than three or four because it makes the pressure on decisions a lot higher...
plus you cant effectively scout the players tendencies if you aren't using a hud

Initially it was just ONE table.
After a few years and many games, I would play 10 to 12 tables for MTT's & sometimes more for cash games (full ring)

Maximum at the same time I can play 3 tournaments, so as not to create discomfort to other players. I don’t like to play more than 2 tournaments at the same time, I start to rush and because of this I very often make the wrong decisions. I hope that in the future I will gain experience playing more tournaments at the same time.

playing more than three is problematic because you cant fully assess player patterns

When play mtt that would not lose concentration when playing a long game spin and go. This has a positive effect on the game

A better question would be...How many tables can you play WELL at the same time. Peace.

Probably 4-6, without resizing down to a ridiculous level. Just what i can see on my screen. If the value is there (freerolls and micros currently) ill register to whatever is available though if i remember to.

I dont think 4 is problematic. You are definitely right about note taking, any more than 4 i just forget about typing a note. But.. in the rare instance that i play in more than 4 tournaments at one time i think its ok.

I play between 4-6 events concurrently without misstep. Up to 6 layout perfectly on my main monitor. I do have another 21 inch smaller monitor - where I keep lobbies open.

I have never been forced to neglect one event because I'm running too many at the same time. Mostly I'll play 2-4 paid events and have 2 other freerolls up.

I 4 because they are the ones I can be seeing on my screen, if I could see more than 6 or 8 at most

I can play 3 tournaments at the same time. But the ideal is 2 tables.

Sometimes i will start 4 tournaments, but then i will set one to sleep on auto posting blinds, until i out of one of the other.

I play 4 Max

If I play more than 4 screens block each other or pop up over each other. Some probably play more.

I loved this:
When you're dead. You don't know you're dead. It's only difficult and painful for others. The same applies when you're stupid.
