Hello All,

I am a fairly new poker player, currently focusing mostly on online.

I am having trouble understanding multi-tabling. I get the concept, you play multiple tables sacrificing your A-game but making more $/hour.

I am able to profit by playing with just one table, however when I try to bump it up to 2 tables, I really struggle and tend to break-even or even go negative. I am trying to play as many hands as possible to learn as much as I can and as fast as possible to move up stakes.

I am currently playing 2NL on (ON)PokerStars and I have played a total of about ~6000 hands so far.

Once again, any strategy or advice on this would be very appreciated, thank you, and thank you for reading.

I would suggest that you don't worry about it. There are people who can play 20 tables at a time, and good for them. But that doesn't mean you need to do anything like that. You are starting out at poker at low stakes - work on your game so that you can enjoy it and possibly build up to where you can play for more and make more. When you are out of the hand, focus on what other people are doing - put yourself in position as hero and think about what hands you think they have and what you would do with different hands. The more tables you play, the less you will be able to think about anything but your own hand - and that isn't going to help you get better.

I have been playing online for many years, at a large number of different sites, and at a large number of different stakes and games. The vast majority of my play is only one table., and I'm perfectly fine with that.

Perhaps you should play one table most of the time, and as you get more comfortable, add a table and see how it goes. If you don't feel comfortable, drop back to one table until you are ready to try again.

Try to keep playing 2 tables, you will get used to it and eventually can keep adding tables. Use your timebank. its there for a reason
