How many tables do you play?

It used to be that so many people were 8-12 tabling and recently it seems that the trend is playing less tables (4-6) and focusing on reads more. Just curious how many people are still 23452xd2349 tabling and how many have slowed down.

I play 10 6max tables on storms at the minute.

oh, this can be moved wherever. This forum just seems to get the most traffic.

I'm 4-6, which doesnt really fit a category.

Usually 8-10 tables of 6 max. If i get bored and play a bit of FR, then 12+

10+ fr, 4-6 6max but obviously 20000000 on party

As many as I can.. 10-12 if I'm tired, but I can manage iPoker's limit of 16 if I've had enough sleep.

2, maybe 3

8-12, as few as 6 if tables are bad (FR). 6-8 at 6-max
20-25 SNGs

6-10 of 6-max depending on how soft the games are. Usually end up having around 6 games going while waitlisting.

I'll go on record saying that I think playing more than 4-6 is probably not worth it long term, though.

I play 3x tables of 5-max and even then I don't have great reads until 1 hour of play has past. I tried 6x tables of 6-max once but it was just robotic play and soooo boring.

i play to 8-10. i just get bored at less than 8, because players at microstakes are SOOOOOO fucking slow.

4 usually

5 if i m feeling frisky and as many as 6 if there are huge fish sitting on a bunch of em

Same here. And this, I believe is the optimum for someone trying to improve his skills while making $$$. More than 3 and what is supposed to be a thinking game turns into 'arcade' grind.

I never was able to get in that 5th table. Then again, I play mostly short-handed action games with a fairly active style.

4 or 6 usually. 2 when I really want to work on my game. 9 when I am feeling good (rarely ever).

Always 3. 1 more and I can't seem to get any reads and it gets boring.

I play either 6 or 12.

4, give or take

Can i just ask how some of you guys manage 6+ tables in 6-max?
I mean i get enough beeping at 4 as it is, AND i'm a tight player.

Some of you guys play 25% VPIP and 8 table... take a lot of concentration? lol

Clar

once you get the hang of 4, move to 6. rinse, repeat. I used to think that more than 4 was impossible for me, but now i play 10 running 21/17 and i rarely time out.

i play 4 6max tables with no HUD.

I play 6 6-max tables. I could probably handle 8ish if I had better damn monitors!

I don't think I could do this without HUD though

I play somewhere between 4 and 8, usually end up with 6.
(I have a 2 CRT monitor setup with both 1600x1200 res)

For running more than 4 tables I found some tools very helpful, like the Tablehighlighter script, BetPot script and Autoreloader script (mine was Prima only, thanks HalvSame).

um, why? and how long have you subscribed to miffed's monthly flyer?

meh i couldnt be arsed to play more than 4 6max tables.

i 8 table FR, FR is my autopolit game while i try think playing 6max

16? seriously? i play 3 or 4. my laptop can't handle 3 some days.

is that 16 6-max?

I play 2-5 tables of 6max. 5 is the most I can comfortably handle when I'm feeling 100% up for it; 4 is the norm; 2 and 3 are if I'm not feeling 100%, or am tired, or am also doing other things that require some concentration. Occasionally I'll mix ring and tourneys, but never more than 4 tables.

because it forces me to focus on players.
