If you are new to online poker, and have not yet got into multi-tabling, you may be wondering if it is something you should be doing. After all, there must be pros and cons to multi-tabling in online poker, and it may be a good practice for you?

Some of the pros are actually obvious, of course, but are still worth mentioning.

 

Multiple hands — When you stick to just one hand, you have to play much longer periods of time to get the number of hands you want to play and to win the amount you want to win. Many people just do not have time.

With multiple hands on multiple tables, however, this increases the number of hands you will get in 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour and can drastically cut down the amount of time you actually spend playing poker.

 

Less chance of getting bored — Sometimes poker hands move a little bit slowly, and it can become a bit boring. Having to keep your eye on several hands at once, however, completely eliminates the boredom and makes poker far more interesting than it often is.

 

An increased challenge — If you like your poker games to be a challenge, then playing multiple tables is definitely for you.

 

You will not only have to keep your eye on multiple hands, but also make your decisions faster and smarter.

 

You become better faster — Becoming better at online poker is usually due to practice.

 

With multi-tabling, that means you will usually get better much faster as you get more experience in an hour of multi-tabling than you do in an hour of playing on just one table.

 

Some of the cons may not be quite as obvious, but are still just as important.

 

Larger bankrolls — With multi-tabling, you do have to have access to a larger bankroll as you will usually be playing with far more money than you would with just one poker table. Unless, of course, you would normally play for two or three hours but can split the same bankroll over several tables in just a few minutes.

 

Much more stressful — Having to keep any eye on several hands at once can play havoc on your emotions, and get you quite stressed.

 

If you do decide to get into multi-tabling, you must try to stay calm and keep your stress levels under control. Otherwise, you could find yourself dealing with stress for many hours after you have finished playing and with the adverse health effects that often come along with that.

 

An increase in bad beats — While you will get bad beats on just one table, these increase quite substantially when you are playing multiple tables.

This means you have to be able to deal with that increase in bad beats, and not let it get to you too much. In other words, practice emotional control if you decide to get into multi-tabling, and you will usually find you do better in the long run.
