Basically, the number of tables you can play is a function of your skill at multitableing, not your bankroll.

Well, yes and no. I think everyone here accepts that most people will have a lower ROI when they multitable than if they mono-table. What this means is that your downswings can be bigger because you will play marginally fewer winning hands to offset the losing hands. Add in the tilt factor that arkana mentions (a regrettable but absolutely genuine concept) and I can see a justification for adding a percentage per table.

If we're going to be pernickety about it, I would suggest something like this:

for 2 tables, + 50% of buyin/2
for 3tables, + 50% of buyin/2 + 50% of buyin/3
for 4 tables, + 50% of buyin/2 + 50% of buyin/3 + 50% of buyin/4

The maths would therefore be, playing $100NL with a buyin of 20x:

1 table: $2000
2 tables: $2500
3 tables: $2833
4 tables: $3083
etc.
