Boredom is definitely the main reason I prefer to multi-table. So many people act like they are making the biggest decision of their life on every hand they play. They should already know what they are going to do by the time it is their turn. Then I start doing other things and miss important changes in the game state. When playing a few tables I am actually able to keep myself from getting distracted. LennyP’s last blog post..Sit and Go Poker Tournament Strategy

Hi,

1/ with respect to variance, let us say that your variance per hand does not change, which is close enough to reality. So if you play 4 tables for instance, you will have 4 times more variance than if you play one table. Variance is additive. Or to put it another way, you will have in one hour the variance that you normally get in 4 hours single tabling.

2/ also, the important concept in multi-tabling is the amount of boredom/multi-tasking you can handle. Myself beyond 12 tables I must admit I cannot think fast enough to make the proper decisions. Single tabling I am going to read a book as well. So it is going to be somewhere in between. So I guess I add as many as I can until I reach a cliff. But this is me.

@ Matt D. I feel the same way with tournaments...I need about 4 to maintain my entire focus on the tables. Otherwise I start surfing the net. Mark’s last blog post..Charlie Glynn

Well done article. All the information and reasoning is right on the money. I prefer playing live but there are definitely advantages to playing online and the Rake is a big one. Curtom’s last blog post..Tom Dwan Revisited [Digg]

I feel like I almost have a need to play multiple tables when I'm playing online poker. I find that personally when I am only playing one table I sometimes have a hard time focusing because the pace is so slow. With multiple tables the "rush" of the sped up action helps to keep my head in the game. Matt D.’s last blog post..8 Commonly Left On Appliances that are Costing You Money

Hi. I'm a p/t poker player trying to increase my skills. Being honest, I don't find one table boring. Actually, I feel by multitabling, you start missing things. Just my humble opinion! Vardis’s last blog post..User:Stupidcrapforcrap

@Poker Farce I think you have a got point. In order to increase your winning potential at some point you should move up in limits starting with one table. Once you are accustomed to the new limit, you can start adding more tables. Mark Mark’s last blog post..Multi-Table or Move Up?
