Well, you could always experiment with it during one session. You may find it quite profitable to sacrifice your notes for the extra hands you will get to see. I find it pretty much the same profit margin at this point, but with some more experience playing more than 1 table at a time I'm sure in the long run I can make it more worth my while.

Oh I've definately tried it...on more than one occasion. I figured the same things, that it would increase profit, all of that.

But i'm not playing limit, and the amount of hands i see per hour are not as important...in my opinion...as the way i play every hand im involved in, and the way I am prepared for future hands.

I mean, Im not knocking playing more than one table. But for me, i feel it increases my ev to remain totally focused on one game, and maxime my earn in that game. I think my game goes downhill play 2 nl tables.

If i was playing limit, i would definately play more than one table. Because in limit, if you play well, the more hours you put in, the more profit you make like Chip Reese says.

Basically, I think that if i play 2 nl tables at once, i am not playing my best game at either....and i dont think adding up two tables of my "b" or "c" games equals out to what i make playing my "a" game at one....especially at no limit, where mistakes can be disastrous.

Wow, I am worse than I thought, I am still trying to make a profit playing 1 table at a time

Okay, well if you are having trouble winning at 1 table, try the beginners strategy, which is:

In a 10 player table, play only these hands before the flop and raise when it is on you:

AA
KK
QQ
JJ
10-10
9-9
8-8
7-7
AK
AQ
KQ

Other than these hands, fold everything else you see. Once you are comfortable playing after the flop, you can start playing other hands based on position or number of players in the pot. Keep in mind that pairs in a multi-way pot are actually less like to win than suited cards, so if you really want to play super-super-virgin tight, play only those AK, AQ, and KQ hands that are suited. But I warn you, if you do this you will be lucky to play more than about 5 hands an hour.
