You already make a profit from 1 or 2 tables and are considering adding some more to improve your hourly rate – this guide will provide some of the key factors to think about when adding more poker tables.

First we look at the effect of adding more poker tables on your profit and the number of hands played. Second we look at some of the tracking software to help you keep a ‘virtual eye’ on opponents. Finally some of the alternatives to adding more tables including moving up levels and switching to softer poker sites are looked at.

Demonstrating the effect on profits of adding more cash game tables is best done with the use of an example. The critical factors here are BB/100 (how many big blinds won per 100 hands) and ‘Hourly Rate’ – your average profit for each hour of poker played.

A player who is currently ‘crushing’ the micro-limits for 10 BB/100 playing 1 table and is averaging 100 hands each hour. Each table added with have a negative overall effect on his profits – due to less attention spared on the tendencies of opponents + folding some marginally profitable hands pre-flop to avoid tricky decisions.

Example Of Profits Per Table When Multi-Tabling Poker Cash Games

Adding multiple online poker tables generates more profits, however as the quality of decisions you make at each table is lower then the return for each additional table diminishes.

Using Texas Holdem Poker Software Tools can help you to keep track of the tendencies of opponents while playing – and thus allow you to maintain a higher BB/100 level than you would otherwise have had. While some players think that the $50 to $100 price tag of these tools is too much they should be thought of as an investment – just a few BB/100 extra mean that the tool will be paid for within a week and making you profits for years to come. Check out our Texas Holdem Tools page for more info.

Finally we should consider the alternatives to multi-tabling. It is well known among experienced players that not all poker sites are equal when it comes to opponent strength. The weakest opponents should be able to improve your BB/100 dramatically when compared to stronger opposition.
