What's better - playing several (2-3) tables and therefore faster get some experience under the belt, or play one table, but be able to pay more attention (but posibly become bored?)

On some sites, the play is significantly slower than on others. I don't see this reflected in the other answers.

Beginners can get a lot of value from following the action in all hands they can. On a site that allows you to see the hands that were mucked at showdown (Party, UB, PokerStars, PokerRoom, etc.), you should spend some time looking up the past hands, asking, what did this player have on each street? How would I have played that? Did he have the odds to draw? Particularly on a faster site such as Ultimate Bet, there might not be enough time to do this and play multiple tables.

On a site that doesn't show you the cards mucked at showdown, and where the games are slower, you are probably wasting too much time if you only play one table. I'd say this is the case on the Cryptologic network.
