Multi-tabling in poker
Definition
Playing at several online tables at once to play more hands per hour.
Multi-tabling raises hourly earnings if your win rate per hand holds, and it increases rake paid, so rakeback grows too. The cost is that attention is split and decision quality can drop.
Most players add tables gradually and track their win rate to find the number that works for them.
