If you don't have a solid plan for how what you're doing then don't try to do it on more than one table.

You hear alot about multi-tabling, from me for sure. But that's with a concrete plan and some training. Right now, I can tell from your post, that everything is still fresh out of the packing paper new. You're probably surprised by what cards people turn over and confused by why people are betting what they are betting etc.

Here's the secret way to tell when you can add tables. Check it out.. I just made this up so it must be true. WHEN 98% OF THE TIME YOU ARE NOT SURPRISED BY WHAT HAPPENS ON ONE TABLE, THEN YOU CAN ADD ANOTHER. Make sense? If you're still surprised that someone turns over whatever and someone bets whatever with whatever cards, etc. Then there's no way you can handle 2 tables. Right now you can't handle one. Start reading and spend alot of time THINKING. That's where you get good, thinking and observing.
