Currently there is a lot of interest in multi-tabling (multi-table poker) and the key is proper setup. You'll need to set your resolution to 1920x1200 or the highest setting. Some sites unfortunately offer a minimized view instead of the full table view.

If you are able, you can use twin monitors with a dual capable video card. It's essential that you are playing with a full colour deck so that the flush potentials are easily recognised and with the sound turned on to hear when it is your turn.

If you are playing up to two tables simultaneously, you can still play both the players and the cards. Start with two low limit tables to get a feel of the speed of play and the level of focus you need to give each table.

It's not hard to remember player types with two tables but as soon as you start to play three or more tables simultaneously , you will find it more tricky to track the players, and will be forced into solely playing the cards and the position. The more tables you play the tighter you should play, as you will be monitoring about fufty hands per hour per table. As soon as you develop the concentration you can venture to multi table at higher limits.

If you have a rake back account here's a final pointer. Maximise your rake back earnings by multi-tabling at four or more tables. Remember, you get paid for every hand you see, so it's easy money to play tight and see about 18-20% of flops. Think about it. If you see one thousand hands and just break even at the tables, you will still be up in the amount of rake you get back.

Multi-tabling creates more hands and therefore you get to see stronger starting hands more often. There'll be some negatives but as the strategy in multi-tabling is to play strong starting hands, you'll be rewarded over the long haul for playing tight. Finally, only play full ring games if you're tackling three or more tables.

Multi-tabling breeds full focus and develops your game to a high and enjoyable level. With multi-table poker, you don't have time to get bored!
