Multi tabling is one of the new things that online poker brings to the game. You can sit at virtually as many tables as you want, at the same time. Let’s take a look at how to successfully multi table.

Why multi table? Most players multi table for two reasons. To make more money, or they are just action junkies. More tables equals more money if you are a winning player.

You can make a lot more money playing the smaller games by multi tabling. By playing a bunch of small games you can play with less risk if you have a small bankroll. Here’s why.

When you play one table for a large percentage of your bankroll, you are at risk of losing your whole bankroll with a few bad breaks. If you play 10 tables at once, for the same total buy ins as the one table, you reduce the risk. It will take about 10 times as many bad breaks to lose you bankroll. But, you profit potential is the same.

If you can stay close to your single table game, you theoretically will make the same amount either way. When you consider how much better the players are at the $5/$10 than the .50c/$1.00, you should make a lot more money 10 tabling these weaker games.

So, here are some suggestions if you try to multi table. Don’t just jump in and start six tabling, build up slow. Start with two until your comfortable, then go to three, and so on.

Another important key to multi tabling is to play a basic solid game. Make the game as simple as possible. This keeps tough decision down to a minimum. Wnen you do have a tough decision, you can go on auto pilot the other tables, while you take the time you need on the tough one.

Don’t play so many tables that you are only on auto pilot. If your big decisions are done on auto pilot, you are playing too many tables, and you need to cut back. You still want to have time to think about tough situations, otherwise you will start losing.

Don’t just play all day at the first tables that come open. When you find the styles at the table make for a lot of tough decisions, consider finding another table. You want to be at tables where the play is straight forward.

Finally, only play one type of game when multi tabling. Don’t play limit and no limit, or SNGs and cash games. This can become very confusing because each different game has different strategies. By multi tabling the same game you can get into a groove.

Multi tabling is one of the blessings of online poker. Sitting at one table in a casino can become very boring to many players. With online multi tabling, you can get as much action as you can handle. Hope this helps, good luck at the tables.
