Are multi-table playing a game for you?

I would like to highlight the pros and cons with multi-table playing for online poker players.
New poker players are perhaps wondering, what multi-table playing is about?
It means you play more than 1 table at the same time.
I can almost hear all the “one table players” asking why should I play more than one table?

Well, the most obvious reason is to make more money.
If you only play one table, you are missing out on some major profit opportunities.
It’s a known fact that most players with some experience will make more money by playing more tables.

The multi-table game means more action, but also less time for decision making.
The fact is multi-table game is not for everyone.

What could be the downside of multi-tabling?
More tables means less focus on each table.
You might miss out on small details from the tables.

The downside of playing to many tables could lead you to play less well on each table.
Some players feel that multi-tabling becomes a mechanical game and therefore don’t like it, it’s actually a matter of taste.
When you feel that the multi-table game affect your results it is time to take a break or simply stop. It's very important to closely monitor your results.  

Conclusion: Multi-tabling does not fit for everyone.

If you believe this game is for you, then start out with 2 tables, if it works out fine you can ad more. Some people are comfortable playing 4, 8 and 12 tables.
If you consider playing 8 tables or more please note this is only for a limited number of players, due to the challange it brings along. The more tables you play the quicker you have to analyze the situation and make a fast decision in short time frame. One other important thing is that you must be able to control your emotions, losing out on a few games can affect your emotions in a bad way. The bottom line is if you are able to handle the heat, multi-tabling is the best way to maximize profits. Good luck with your poker playing no matter if it’s 1 or 10 tables you prefer playing.
