basically I play from 1 to 4 tables if I open more tables, I lose concentration and my game deteriorates. How long did it take you to learn how to play poker at more than 4 tables ?
Most often I play for 2 tables, and I can play for 4 tables, but I get tired faster.

I don't think its a matter of learning how to play more tables but getting used to it. I currently play 6 tables and as long as I don't have interruptions or distractions from outside my room (cell phone, noise, family etc..) It works fine. I even can study from videos and reading if I am at 1 or 2 tables and it does't affect my game significantly.

I prefer to play no more than 2 serious poker tables.
but if they are freerolls then you can even play 10 tables

2 is good for me . 3 is harder for me . 4 very hard . That's because nowadays I play on my mobile ao it's harder to follow the action in comparison to playing on a desktop PC

I play two tables max, noticed that I'm losing concentration when I have more than two. Still learning to play poker (3rd year), but managed to win tourneys online

Earlier 3 tables were too much for me, but now I play 4-5 tables, and in Saturday and Sunday evening it can be even 6-7 tables at the same time. Of course, the fewer tables I play, the more focused I am on my opponents. :unsure:

I used to play at four tables at a time to avoid boredom and make it more dynamic. But lately, I only play in one. I like to focus as much as possible on my game.

I usually play at four tables, but for freeroll tournaments, I play almost every time when I'm excited and have the energy to play poker.

It took me a while to get comfortable with more than 4—practice and focusing on each table one by one helped me improve my multitasking.

I'm still testing, but currently the most comfortable has been two tables... with three I'm already starting to shuffle and with four I practically lose at all:ROFLMAO: My goal is to be able to play at least four with consistency and focus.

I don't like playing many tables. 4 tables is the most comfortable for me. I'm for quality play, not quantity, so I don't load more than 4 tables. If I crash somewhere, I load it into an empty window

I usually play at 2 tables. Because that's what I can concentrate on.

Usually at four tables. Mainly DoN S&Go tournaments plus some MTT tournaments. When I play cash games, I don't play anything else.

I used to max out at 2–3 tables. It took me about 6 months of steady play before I could handle 3+ without losing focus. The trick was making standard decisions automatic, adding tables slowly, and reviewing spots where I felt rushed.
