Various Tables

[EvIlK3Rn3L]

Hi All, I Am 99% New To Poker, I Played About 3 Games Before Starting To Play On Line For Real Money ''About 3 Days Ago'' My Success Ratio Is Exactley 50-50, I Win... I Loose... And To Date Have About The Same $20 That I Started With, Well $1,69 Up ''Oh Yea!!'' And I Have Noticed People Playing More Than 1 Table, My Cousin Tells Me He Plays Various, And I Saw This In The Micro 6 Max Video With The Presentor Playing 2... WHY??? I Just Don't Get It, I Have Trouble Playing 1 Table, So I Got Thinking, And I Have Come Up With A Few Ideas Why... Then I Thought! Who Better To Ask Than ''Everyone At Once'' So I Have Made A Poll, If You Are Kind Enough To Participate Ill Apreciate It A Lot, And If You Are Kind Enough To Comment Then You Have My Blessing

For Those That Are Going To Comment I Also Have A Side Question:

If I Am Playing Only 1 Table, Does That Make Me The Source Of Your Income ???

Ps. Sorry If I Got Any Spelling Wrong But English Is Kind Of A Second Language To Me, And Sorry If The ''Every Word Begining With Caps'' Got On You Nerves But Its A Real ''Soon To Be Serious'' Compulsion Disorder Thing, Have Fun All, Happy Hunting And Good Luck,

Posted this in the other thread too:

but then i remember my cousin saying about playing in more than one... and i dont get it, is there some sort of advantage? is it greed? personally i find it hard to concentrate on one game yet alone 2 or more, is playing more than 1 at a time something i need to learn to get anyware? thx

Poker to most of us is all about maximizing our profit. Let's look at an example of this.

If I play 1 table at a time I can make $100/hr at that table making my hourly rate obviously $100/hr.

If I play 2 tables at a time I can make on average $80/hr at each table making my hourly rate $160/hr

If I play 4 tables at a time I can make on average $70/hr at each table making my hourly rate $280/hr

If I play 6 tables at a time I can make on average $50/hr at teach table making my hourly rate $300/hr

If I play 8 tables at a time I can make on average $30/hr at each table making my hourly rate $240/hr.

Therefore, to maximize my potential profit playing 6 tables is the way to go for me. For others it might me more/less all dependent on skill-level, multi-tasking abilities, and attention span. In poker we ARE greedy, we want to win as much as possible!!
