I doubt there is a fast way to get better, or else everyone would eb a poker god

Wouldn't 3 or 4 at a time as a beginner just mean you are paying 1/3 or 1/4 as much attention to each?

You will probably get better alot faster by playing 1 table and actually concentrating on it.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

Definitely one first. I was nervous when I first tried two tables. It seemed so fast. Now I get bored with three (though that's the max I'm allowed at Paradise).

One to learn how to play, develop your strategy and such, and multiple to make increase your rate of return.

Same here.If you play 2 tables then you have to mantain discipline and play the premium hands only.

There is no way to get better faster. Experience is the best teacher, and you simply have to play a hell of a lot to get that experience.

You need to be able to play 1 table very well before you play two or four tables(unless you clearing bonuses and just car about breaking even)

well, I think sticking to one table is the way to improve. The crucial thing that you learn at first is reads. Once you learn to make good reads, you can use those reads to act against certain opponents in a different way. The cards become less of an issue because you are playing the player. You make far better decisions when you have a read on players and, as a result, it can earn you extra money or save you money. You can only really learn this when starting out by playing one table at a time and really focussing on this.

Multitabling is fine once you've played a ton of hands and recognize situtions rapidly. I'm guessing you're not there yet. Play 50,000 hands... then reassess. Then, play 50k more, regardless of what you think you know.
