I see a lot of players in the forum play multiple tables at once online. I have done this in the past myself at lower limit games. The game of choice for other members also seems to be limit.

I've been playing a lot more NL recently, short handed to keep the action happening.

I was wondering...

Does anyone regularly play multiple tables of NL at the same time? Is it harder compared to limit? (I am assuming it is as there is a lot more info to process...)

I play 4-8 tables of no-limit at a time. Generally four on PokerStars and four on whichever other site I am into at the time. I have multiple LCDs setup to assist in the clutter. I can generally space out the windows such that I can always see my cards on each quadrant of the screen and thus it makes my play quite quick and responsive and I can keep an eye on things [such as people stealing blinds and bluffing etc]

It is more difficult to play NL than Limit obviously since it requires alot more attention, but I suggest a setup like I have above where you can see portions of each table in order to allow you to see what's going on. Without that information you might get pushed around some.

I like to play well below my normal limit when playing multiple tables. If i play a single table NL game on PokerStars it's usually the 5/10 if there is a seat. But when I am playing multiple tables I usually play .25/.50 or .5/1.00 just because the swings can be greater.

As for if it's difficult or not, I don't think so, but by nature I am a multi-tasking type individual. I always have something going on or I am bored. You should just start out with 2 and then work your way up to 4 or more. Whatever is comfortable to you, but remember you have more money at the tables, so drop down a limit or two or you could find yourself unexpectedly eating half your bankroll without realizing it.
