I basically always play 4 tables, although I used to just do three. Four is enough that I am never bored and also can still get reads and not lose track of the action on any table, so that's where I've settled.

I meant to put a 12+ option but forgot to include it, can I edit the poll and add another option? If not just press 10 to 11 option
I play 9 tables, I make money but dont feel I am developing further and feel rather mechanical at times. So I did the poll to see if majority of profitable players play less tables and I am going to give it a try if results show this.

If you feel like you need to work on your game then going for 4-6 tables and developing detailed reads is the best thing possible imo. While doing this I wouldn't be afraid to experiment with quirky things when you find reasons to deviate from ABC poker.
Personally, this is how I learned to play (rarely more than 4-5 tables) while playing a very laggy style and I think it prepared me well for tougher games. For the time being, it's less stressful to play a bunch of tables at stakes where I feel very comfortable as a way of keeping my variance at a minimum and maximizing shit like rakeback and bonus/promotions.
Your idea seems good to me. When you get bored, just put each villain in each hand on a range of hands, even when you're not involved in the pot, and see how you do.

4 to learn, 6 to profit. I play 6 most of the time and 4 when working on game.

I was doing 6 for a while, and slowly went to 8 and now been trying 10 lately.
I just find that the more tables I have, the less stupid spewy things I do.
Also the more regs in your game, the easier it is to play more tables, as there are less people overall to keep track of.

playing the same regs on a bunch of tables also makes for the most interesting mind games if that's what turns your crank

yessss... especially if you're on the left of the same guy on like 4 different tables!
If i have any tables being HU though, this greatly reduces the number of tables I can play at once.
