Playing multiple tables may allow you to learn to make quicker decisions, but they may not be the best ones. Fewer tables allow you to observe players more carefully and get more information. This will lead to better decisions and hopefully more profits. Just my 2 cents.

I play 4 tables atm showing profit - I'd recommend adding tables slowly, one by one.

Get used to play on two tables after you managed to play profitable on one table and so on.

I have played more than one table at a time and still do. Being fairly new to the game i want to play as many as i can. Don't we all?. I play mostly freerolls right now, so it's not a hard hit if i make a mistake. But the more tables you play at once can be exhillerating and a challenge just like a video game. but with computers what happens if you overload it or a scan comes up while you are in a middle of a bunch of cash games?. and the computer shuts down or scans say for 15 minutes and just won't let you play?. Best case scenerio would be your hands are folded and blinds posted. Worst case would be an all in sitiuation or close to all in with most your cash and not beieng able to play out the hand. Also the cascading of windows can be difficult to navigate sometimes. the windows change so quick i have folded one hand only to make a wrong call at another table. Its fun but not for cash.

I've just started to play 2-3 freerolls at once and my play did drop off. I enjoy the "multi-tasking" and I'm learning to keep it simple, "flop it or drop it". Now, when I "only" play one freeroll at a time it seems boring. I'm still learning, still in the "how to" stage but I think everyone should try it. It does speed up your "decision time".

Well ,being a novice i can say that when i play one maybe 2 tables i do pretty good ,but 3 4 5 then its disaster for me.Mass confusion and i start making bad calls etc. I find playing a small game and having 1 of those large number of peeps game on the side works well for me. what works for me may not work for you....

Actually, there is an optimum number of tables to play, and it depends on the player. Consider a pro who plays one table and earns $40 an hour. If he playes 4 tables he might do worse than that on each table but if he only earns $15 per table, combined he will earn $60 an hour. So he makes more money overall. His play may be worse on each table but he's making more money! Over time, he will find the best balance for the optimum number of tables to play. That's why they multi-table, because it increases their expected win rate overall.

Must suggestion is to simply do what feels is right for you.

Start out slow and work your way up. If it's effecting your decision making then step it down a notch, if not move it up a notch.

According to me playing multiple table game at the same time is not good for beginners. Beginners should have to start their game from a single table. Winning tip to beginner players is that don't play too many hands. Playing more doesn't mean winning more, it might result in losing more.

This is a good game strengthening tool when you have been playing at least 6 months, by then you should have a pretty good feel for decision makking. This is only my opinion from my exxxperience, this is the strategy I used. I found it was a great tool in makking those quickker dicisions on whether or not your going to makke a play or not. Sometimes that exxxtra time you takke in makking a decision affects the results of the play. Takke to long with a monstar and everyone folds to a weird bet, takke too long with a bluff and makke a normal bet and seems likke you get called all the way to the river.:dance:

I agree with you Manne, the tip you have mentioned but this tip is not useful for newer players. I would like to discuss some more Poker tips:-
1) Don't Play Every Hand / Do Fold More
2) Don't Play Drunk
3) Don't Bluff Just for Bluffing's Sake
4) Don't Stay in a hand just because you're already in it.

I used to play quite a few tables at once. but, when the bad decisions began (tilt) it affected every table I was on and I started losing a lot. now I just slow down and enjoy the fact that I am playing. Besides, I mainly just stick to the freerolls anymore online.

Playing multiple tables at the same time will speed up your skills in poker. But if any Beginner Play multiple tables from starting when he's don't know what is poker game then it's a worth.
So, For experience player it is better to play multiple table poker but for beginner it's just play one by one.

I will Agree with Happy smith that playing on too many tables can spell doom for a new player. Instead of learning and stratagising the player will end up being confused than before. Also multiple tables may mean that he can lose more money in a shorter time.

Yes I agree with you, playing online poker at multiple tables do drastically improves your decision making capability during the time of game. But do remember playing at multi tables is not so easy for every player as it requires super active and sharp mind to take quick decisions for betting.
Thanks
