Multi-tabling — playing multiple tables simultaneously — is how serious poker players maximize their hourly rate. PokerKing fully supports multi-tabling, allowing you to play several tables at once.
This guide covers how to set up multi-tabling at PokerKing, optimal table layouts, how many tables to play, and tips for maintaining quality play across multiple tables.
Key Information
Step-by-Step Guide
Start with a comfortable number
Begin with 2 tables and gradually increase. Most players find their optimal number is between 4-12 tables depending on game type and software speed.
Configure your table layout
Choose between tiled (all tables visible, smaller) or stacked/cascaded (full-size, one on top) layouts. Tiled is better for fewer tables, stacked for more tables.
Set up hotkeys and shortcuts
Configure keyboard shortcuts in PokerKing's settings for common actions: fold, call, raise, pot-size bet. This speeds up your play significantly.
Use auto-actions wisely
Set up auto-fold for obvious trash hands and auto-post blinds. But avoid auto-calling or auto-raising — manual decisions are almost always better.
Monitor your performance
Track your win rate at different table counts. If your per-table win rate drops significantly with more tables, you're playing too many.

Tips & Best Practices
- ✓A dual-monitor setup is ideal for multi-tabling. Use one monitor for tables and the other for lobby/notes.
- ✓A HUD is especially valuable when multi-tabling at PokerKing since you can't give full attention to each table.
- ✓Cash games are easier to multi-table than tournaments because there are fewer crucial decisions.
- ✓Start adding tables slowly. If you feel rushed or are making obvious mistakes, drop a table.
- ✓Time-bank management is crucial when multi-tabling. Don't burn your time bank on easy decisions.
