Why so many tables?

[Daniel Jay]

Dumb question, but how in the world do alot of you play more than one table at a time? Im totally focused on the table im on, i just cant see how people can play more than maybe 2 tables at once.

i dunno man but sometimes i get the same cards on my tables and it leads me to believe that the whole poker site is so rigged

then i see the same flops over and over and im POSITIVE that the sites are rigged

Edd, you suck at trolling the beginner forum.

I get bored at even three or four tables. About 9-12 is my sweet-spot.

I see the same thing sometimes too... in all seriousness

i don't know..

I play no more than 2, half because I'm not good enough to multi more, and half because 1 is boring to me.

I'm going to assume that once you master one table so that your reaction to each hand is almost second nature, multitabling won't be hard

I started with just one table at a time. Played that way for about six months, then moved to two tables. After another two months I added a third table, then a fourth.

I usually play four tables at a time. If I move up in stakes I play two tables, but I play two "Fast" tables if I'm only playing two. Once I get comfortable at the stakes I'm playing then I play four regular tables at a time with no problems.

In the name of God, if you are comfortable at all playing one table, then play two tables at a time. You're going to be folding 75% of your hands anyway. Odds are if you're only playing two tables they you won't be involved on both tables after the flop at the same time, so your concentration really won't be divided.

Playing more tables means you'll be playing more hands per hour. If you have a skill advantage then that means more profit for you. Also, playing more hands means less variance, since you'll play through your downswings faster.

Seriously, I can't see how anyone plays just 1 table without dying from boredom. I would play way too loose if I was only at one table.
