One major thing that sets online poker apart from traditional poker venues is that you are able to play at more than one table at once. This is a popular trick amongst professional poker players that allows them to multiply their win expectancy. This is a difficult task and it takes quite a bit of poker skill to be successful. Still, if you are an action junkie, this will allow you to play at a faster pace and will multiply your winnings if you are a long term successful player.

If you wish to begin multi-tabling, it is best to start slow. Start with two tables and work your way up once you are comfortable with the previous number. Some pros can play up to 20 tables at a time. This is extremely dangerous for beginners to do since you will get automatically folded if you are not fast enough to respond to a hand.

If you are playing four tables, you can watch up to all four at once if you tile the tables on your screen. If you want to play more than this, it becomes necessary to stack them, thus making it difficult to monitor them simultaneously. Consider mastering the tiling method prior to moving to more screens.

It’s not unusual to see a drop in profits when you first start multi-tabling. If you notice that this streak continues over a longer term though, it is time to go back to just one table. Don’t try and push your luck just because it is successful for a handful of people.
