Playing multiple tables at the same time can speed up decision making skills in poker. This prevents you from taking too much time to make a simple decision. Practicing on multiple tables quickens the decision making and such a player will be trained to device multiple strategies without a lot of struggle.

Definetely should poker beginners only play at one table at a time, starting out with multiple tables will only give bad decisions in the long run.

When a poker player knows how to play at one table, and being one of the dominating players at that table it should be logical to test their skills on multiple tables.

From my experience, i use to play 6-10 tables at once and believe it a cool thing to do. it become a bad habbit if you keep continue it, well

first short concentration - because people get use to play with 3-7 tables at a time. And could end up no where.
second - been focus on one game will allow you to observe your opponent. which is very important

my suggestion for beginner is to play one table at a time. you will notice you win more MTT or SNG game.

I think it is way better to concentrate on just one table if you are a begginer. multiple tables might be a bit overwhelming :dirol

This is probably true that for a beginner it is better to play only one table, but as you gain more experience, i have found that it helps to play more than one. this is because if i lose a hand to a bad beat or something, i realize that i still have to concentrate and focus on another table(s) and this helps me stay off tilt.

6-10 tables at once? wow, I have problems with 4 tables when I play turnaments

I think that if you play at many tables you only play with your cards. When you play at one or two tables, you can read your opponent.

Do you use bluff while playing at 10 tables? 😉

I will play only two tables myself at once, I don't get to play 2-3 days a week and that is enough for me. Gets to crazy for me with more.

I can handle 3 tables just fine on my smallest 17" monitor. To play more requires more screen space at decent magnification to be able to focus on multitables without tiling of miniscreens. Now the concentration is less and speed of play is increased- the more tables the less time for studying villians ,therefore learning poker skills is not part of this strategy and should be reserved for veteran players. I find I place higher in tournaments with fewer screens or games per session.

When you smash out the 52-card deck and deal a hand of 3-card poker, the first approach you need is a firm appreciating of the rules. Rather than striving against other players, you are striving against the dealer. You need a better hand than the broker (and a least a pair) to win. Each of you is handed out three cards, and the cards are shuffled after each hand. Because there are smaller number ways to make a unbent with 3 cards than a flush, straights position or higher.

I have tried playing at two tables at once, but i really got confused. Its becomes too cumbersome and eventually i will have to fold one of the games for the sake of another.

This one follows the last tip. I see a lot of players look at another player's final bet, look at the hand, & say "I know you've got me, but I have to keep you honest," as they throw in a final call. It may be worth it to see if a player really has the hand if you're not sure & you're gaining information that will help you later on, but if you really feel a player has the hand he's representing & you're beat, why give him another pile of your money? Those bets will add up over an evening.

2 or 3 games at once is one thing, but some players play 8,10, 12, or more. I can't handle more than 3 at once, and that's stretching it for me. Two is much easier:thumbsup. Actually, now that I think about it, one is too many! :1orglaugh

Hi All,

It is really great to know that you all are palyed so much well and use to play on two or three tables at a time, but do you think that this is good for beginner? as they are not much aware with tricks and all, but i must agree with the thought of quick decision making by playing on number of tables at a time.

Thanks & Keep Sharing such trips, as we learn a lot from here!

I guess you all know this

It is crucial, in Texas Holdem, to read your opponent in a heads-up. This is because your opponent may just raise his hands heads up, which will result in much difficult reads. Paying attention to your opponent’s patterns will help estimate your opponents hand. Check if they often raise the button, call your button raises or even re-raise a big blind. Questions will help constrict the potential events.

Before acting it is crucial to read your opponents move. If you think that there is some possibility, you can think of putting in the second best hand. If you feel that the opponent is in a weaker position you can apply pressure and win the pot.

It is seen that players often aim to increase their chips quickly in heads up and ring games. In this case if you only sit back and watch your opponent’s errors, you can end up with all the chips. An excellent e.g. is avoiding placing everything on a pot bet, when you have the opportunity of winning smaller ones, that will get you the same goal and the risks are not that many. To know about your opponents hand the best is to place a half pot bet that can also be high and betting a minimal amount will help you with your intention.
It is evident when the opponents stack gets smaller, you can go on the button once they reach 10 big blind ranges. A hand should help make a raise, if you see that your opponent is left with the only option of pushing or folding. To others this may seem like a weak move, but this will help you get rid of you trying to fold semi decent hands. Limping puts your opponent in a short position and puts him in a situation where he needs to think if he can gamble with low rewards/high risk all in one move to win a blind.

It is essential in heads-up that you play in position and place belief on your reads, also play small pots which will help build a lead.

..like people with good eyes.

For me, I can manage 2, on 2 monitors.
When I hit 3 games at one time.
Confusion set in.
Usually, it's i can get upto 1 holdem, 1 razz and 1 HORSE.
But all 3 games become wasted games.
