Really newbie-ish question...

[rmgustaf]

I learned how to play Hold 'Em last July and I've only dabbled playing for money. I'll mostly just play with my friends for a pizza or something (so it's not all that competitive).

My question is about multi-tabling. I keep hearing people talk about playing 3 or 4 tables, but how does that work? Do people play on two or three different online sites to be able to get onto the different tables? Is multi-tabling worth it? I have a hard time focusing on one table! :P

I'm not going to be trying to multi-table anytime soon - I'm just curious about the mechanics. Did people start out multi-tabling? Or do people usually work just one table at a time before getting good enough to do two or three or four tables at once?
