How many tables do you play?

[EvoLoN]

A friend of mine tells me that when i play 3 tables i'm doing a horrible thing because it's impossible to get reads on people and such. He says you should always only play 1 table.
But i've heard people on this site say they play 4-5 at once. What is your opinion on this?

[CWsports]

Let's say you average a profit of 2 big bets per hour if you play a single table. On the other hand if you play 4 tables you lose a little on reads so you only make 1.5 big bets per table per hour. In case 1 you make a profit of 2 big bets per hours and in case 2 you make 6 big bets per hour.

Which sounds better to you?

I play 8, others play more.

what stakes do you play Tosh?

Tosh plays roughly 30 minutes of 500/1000 a week, wins one big bet, and quits until the begining of the next week. Dont believe me? How do you think he got that stylin' avatar?

I play 8 tables and have very good reads on everyone. Pokertracker (with add-ons) help drastically with this. I've tried 12 tables but my win rate drops quite quickly. Optimal profit comes from 8 tables for me and at the end of the month rake back thanks me too.

I play 4 tables. Granted, your read does drop a little, but that is why you have poker tracker. Plus, you are going to get a little less than 4 times the winnings as someone already pointed out.
