Just curious too see how many most of you guys play and why.

Generally I play 3-4 MTT SNGs at a time, or 3-4 cash game full ring. If I play less I usually get bored and will be more apt to play hands I should not. When I play the Neg-O I always do just it, because there is too much going on and takes all I've got just to play bad. Going thru a bad run right now, and just thinking am I playing too many tables and not at that level yet? Not giving myself time to think properly and could this be a reason why?

When I started, playing anything more than 2 tables was too much to handle. I can do 4-6 comfortably, but something like 8+ fries my brain after an hour of play. So mostly I stick to 4 or 6 tables.

I can't even play one table well.


Doesn't stop me from playing 4 though.

9-12 usually. 9 is probably what i do most often though. I can lose at a much higher rate this way.

6, I think if I had a monitor I could do a few more and lose money faster but I only play on a laptop

[Tehtoe]

I only play on a laptop but usually during big MTT sessions I'm somewhere between 6-12 at any given time, usually peaking at around 14. Anything past that and I start playing kinda meh.

this really should be a brag post

ummm, i haven't played an full session for a bit of time, but its usually from 6-9...some days I will hit like 12-14 but thats about it

once i get out of the cellar I'll start playing 8-12 at a time

[mrpaddyx]

I usually only play 1 at a time. If i'm focused i can go up to around 3 or 4 and almost maintain some kind of standard.

edit - I don't use any poker software, other than pokerstars obv, when playing, not sure how much of a difference this makes.

Im also interested if players use a pt3/hud coupled with table volume. I play 2 tables comfortably. 3 is fine too although it feels more like work to me then. Ive never tried more than four tbh. I have never used tracking software.

[CorvairShaggy]

I use PT everytime, and look at the stats if I am in a tough spot and use the stats to make a final decision. Mostly calling shoves, and I may be about 50/50 here. I try not to check stats unless I have to. Wondering now if I play just 2 and not stretch myself too thin, will that make a difference, or do I still have too many fundamental flaws to matter.
One time I 6-tabled .25nl 50bb full ring. I played for an hour and made profit on all but 1 table. Felt like I had played for 3 hours though.

[Ship_itt]

i use a desktop not a laptop and have two 22" monitors. usually on sundays i can get up to 16ish but recently have been regging thin

[byaaatch]

to clear the take 2 quickly I have been playing 9 at a time. What resolution do you guys use? I have the syncmaster 23 from samsung and I use 1600 x 1200 setting.

[DiamondDixie]

I play 4 to 6 and can do up to 8 but over 6 my brain starts mis-firing. I use PT3 and rely on the HUD for close calls. I used Table Ninja for the trail period but I'm too cheap atm to actually purchase it but I did like it and think with TN I could comfortably play up to 8 tables. I'm most comfortable with 4 though and seem to play my very best with only 4 but 6 is very doable.

[donk4life]

8 tables of rush, 6 of HU. I quit a rush table each time I get action at HU table.
