What do you do when you play online tournaments? Do you play more than 1 tournament at the same time? Do you play normal cash games while you're playing the tournament, or do you focus all your attention on just 1 tournament?

I usually focus on a single tournament. And I try to play my game. Sometimes I tried to play two or three at the same time and realized that attention was dissipating. Although I am happy to read the news feeds in parallel with the game in the tournament. Visiting websites does not interfere with playing poker.

it's different for me sometimes i play a second tournament, sometimes cash but mostly i'm only in one tournament. i always like to hear something in the background, sometimes just music and sometimes a film. as long as it doesn't distract me too much I'm happy with it.

I never play more than one tournament if the tournament requires money to play. I can't afford to be careless with my bankroll. I can play in several tournaments at the same time if the entrance is through a ticket or it's a freeroll.

Good day, I am currently playing more $1.10 tournaments and got good results. While I play tournaments I only play that tournament, I try not to play at other tables.:)

I will usually play 2-3 MTTs at a time, unless its something big - like if I win a sat seat to a $109.
As long as your win rate isn't impacted, more tables is better!


I find that having 2 tables keeps me from being bored and playing hands that I shouldn't be.
The only issue I have is wishing one hand was on the other table!

I play several at the same time and only tournaments, for me it is important to be able to see on the screen all the ones I am playing to be able to find out how the others play, and they are usually small tournaments unless I qualify for a big one:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

I try to wait for the big chance, but sometimes I make too rash decisions.

usually when I start playing tournaments, I start with 4 different tournaments that I play relaxed, and as I advance in a tournament in the final stages I focus on that, if necessary:)

Most I play is two tournament games, but have played 3 a few times. One of the games is going to suffer because of a lack of attention. I will only play one cash game at a time so that I can focus on the other players. My favorite games are the 9 or 18 players tournaments on poker stars.

Hello, I am a beginner player, I joined the forum yesterday, I can't play for real money now, but I prefer to play in one tournament so that I can focus well

Not being alone in different games like MTT and different strategies, in which this would only end up spending more on energy by adapting the brain to all the spots it enters and thinking about the modes in different ways. Regarding the amount of game screens 8 screens without performance improves. More than 8 prejudices a lot in the relationship with.

It depends from person to person, some can play more than one tournament at a time, others don't, I prefer to play one at a time, I like to play focused, seeing what the villains are doing at the table, while I'm playing I prefer absolute silence, I try not to get distracted by anything.
