Here is an example of what happens when you play two tables. I had been watching this guy (which probably wouldn't have happened if i were 4 or maybe even 3 tabling).
note: this hand isn't played very well as SUCH but my reasoning behind playing my hand is the important thing:
$0.05/$0.1 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com
Stacks:
UTG eberr ($41.45)
CO marnoek ($10.95)
BTN BILL TAL ($4.20)
SB kniachdei ($8.90)
BB Hero ($13.60)
Pre-flop: ($0.15, 5 players) Hero is BB  
1 fold, marnoek raises to $0.40, 2 folds,
I look at my notes on him which read:
"get it all in with TPWK on paired board."
... and so i call.
Hero calls $0.30
Flop:    ($0.85, 2 players)
Hero bets $0.55, marnoek calls $0.55
I decide to see what happens on the turn and think about raising where appropriate. Here i want to go for a check raise, depending on his bet size. I feel he COULD be strong here with AJ and i get nervous, so just c/c.
Turn:  ($1.95, 2 players)
Hero checks, marnoek bets $1.90, Hero calls $1.90
Same here. I still suspect he may have AJ (one of my failings is assuming someone is playing the top of their range all the time) so i decide to c/c.
River:  ($5.75, 2 players)
Hero checks, marnoek bets $2, Hero calls $2
Final Pot: $9.75
marnoek shows:  
Hero shows:
Hero wins $9.30 ( won +$4.45 )
marnoek lost -$4.85
------
Had i not been playing fewer tables, like i say, i would have folded pre. I make a lot of notes usually. Had i been a little more gutsy i could have taken his stack i think. I think you would have anyways.
