If you prefer playing your poker in a live room, then you have no problems with multi tabling. This is because you can only play at one table at a time. However, when it comes to online poker, there are hundreds of sites on the internet that allow the players to play in multiple tables. The process of having more than one game going on at he same time is what is referred to as multi tabling. Like any other poker game, it comes with benefits and disadvantages.

Advantages of multi tabling

1.      You can multiply your win rate

If you keep winning every time you play at one table, you can be the same at more tables. If you succeed in multi tabling with the same level of efficiency, and you manage to make $10 at one table, then there is no hindrance to you making $40 dollars at four tables within the same hour. It is important to keep records of the games you play. This way, you can manage your winnings per table and ensure that multi tabling does not decrease your winning rate per table.

2.      You engage your focus

As a good focus player, you should be able to fold a lot. You need to understand that you get your edges from playing hands where you have advantages. This gives you a lot of down time. How you use this down time can affect your concentration at the game. However, with multi tabling, you are able to focus on more than one game at a time, even when you are not focused on a particular game, you are still on "poker mode".

3.      You increase your opportunities

When you are multi tabling, you get the opportunity to take part in "good" games where you might find weak players but with good action. This way, you stand better chances of winning more money than when playing in one table.

The disadvantages of multi tabling

1.      You multiply your loss rate

Incase you decide to multi table and yet you are not that good in the game, you lose your money four times in one round if you are playing in four tables. You need to be true to yourself about your poker abilities, with this reality, assess how well or badly you might do on more than one table at a time.

2.      You have divided focus

When multi tabling, you are required to be in a position to concentrate on all the tables you are playing at. You need to learn of the moves and abilities of your opponents in all tables at the same time. This puts you at the risk of making hasty wrong moves. You need to start with one table and work your way up to more tables if you think your abilities allow you.

3.      You decrease your comfort level

In order to be able to play at different levels, you must ensure that your screen is equipped to display all tables at the same time. Failure of this will lead to you flipping around from table to table, and this will confuse you greatly. There are also instances where you are required to make separate decisions in more several tables at the same time; you have a time frame of 30 seconds or less to do that. This is very stressful and can lead to grave mistakes if you are not cautious.

After going through the above information, it is clear to you that multi tabling is not for everyone. You know yourself better than any one else and basing on the above, you can decide whether it is for you or not. Remember multi tabling can make you money or cause you loss of the same. All this is dependent on your abilities and skills you have on poker.
