How many games do you play at once?

Just wondering. I usually play around six with two or three that I'm concentrating on. I've played up to eight, but not comfortable doing it. If I had a giant monitor, or something minority report like, I believe I could do fifteen, but then I wouldn't be able to concentrate on any in particular.

one shorthanded table. i play 1/2 now. once i pay my dues at 5/10 shorthanded and am able to beat it as consistantly as i beat 1/2 i will consider playing 2 tables.

3 short handed hold'em tables - or sometimes 3 PLO tables (which is like a holiday in comparison to hold'em)

i used to dislike playing multiple tables but now i think playing multiple tables improves your game - it helps you discover the obvious choices and concentrate on the difficult ones - ultimately you could be better playing just 1 table but anything that allows you to view the game from a different perspective is good for it

Typically, the absolute bare minimum I would like is three.

Three is quite boring and four or five is normal; I've also
played six during "Jucy Lones" including LHE 1-2 (6max) on
three tables just to deny someone else getting $80. The
most I have tried is seven, but as I have but one monitor
I can't see playing more except on ub. Almost all of the
tables I play at are either 5max or 6max but I can see a few
exceptional players would succeed at eight or nine tables,
especially if they are all ring games.

On average, the number of tables must be around 4.5 for
2004, but I think the trend will be higher for the rest of
this year.

Fifteen tables...that's pretty incredible. I should try that sometime.

I play heads up. Usually do one 25-50 and one 15-30 game at onnce now. It has all become automatic to me now and I always avoind good players that would actually make me think hard.

That's a lot of tables. What limits are you playing?

I play 2 or 3 (more often 3), at the 5/10, 10/20, 15/30 ten person tables.

How can you play that many tables and posibly be playing a good game. You basically have no idea what anyone else at your table plays like cause your playing a million tables. I personally play 2 1 2 tables and sometimes that annoys me becuase I want to concentrate more on the other people.

At party poker you dont really need to concentrate on the other players. If you just play your own cards very well, you'll make a profit easy. I play at least 3 tables...most of the time 3 or 4.

i always play 6 3/6 tables.
