Table Selection Strategy for 6 max NL

I don't think having better reads on opponents would make me win 4x as much money. 4 tabling at say 75% of my potential wins more money than sitting at one table and picking up accurate reads on every player.

It also isn't hard to pick up small reads on people when 4 tabling. I'll often note that a person might call the flop with nothing then fold to a 2nd barrel or that they will chase draws endlessly.

If you want to focus on improving your skills and hand reading then I would 1 table but you will make less money.

How about if you played the 1 table at a much higher limit(suppose you like to 3 table NL200 well you focus on 1 NL400 or 600 table) with relatively the weakest players you can find(You would generally pick a better table because finding one ideal table is a lot more oriented then finding several) ?

I think the main reason why 3-4 tables are better than 1 table is because you simply cannot compensate for the lack of large winning hands at a single table vs. multi-tabling.

You are only going to be able to win so much without a strong hand. If your bluffing frequency increases too much, you are going to get picked off, not to mention the times you bluff and run into a strong hand.

As long as you play at a limit with a large number of straight forward players, you are never going to be able to win more through aggression on a single table than you can with strong hands multi-tabling.

Figure out how and where you earn the majority of your money, that will be the answer to your question.
