Jib, I multitable 6-max 8 tables at once, and it feels like 12-tabling FR. The problem I find w/ 6-max is table management. Games deteriorate so fast that I'm jumping in and out of games every 3 minutes. That means repositioning tables, watching the lobby, and buying-in, all while keeping the other 6 or 7 tables on track.

Another issue is with the massive numbers of loose-passives at 6-max. Since you play the blinds 1/3 of the time, you get some "unwanted" action with mediocre hands. Example: you're big blind with 83s. UTG it's autofold, but 2 limpers + SB completes, you check and you're at the flop with a 4-flush, oop to 2 villains in a 4-way pot. You've got odds to play it, but you've got some thinking to do along the way.

When I get 8 tables open and play the blinds simultaneously on 6 of them, I hate it. I'm like "bet me off this crap hand someone PLEAZZZ!!" I try to counteract this by playing the SB like I'm UTG except for the premium sc's and in exceptional situations like very fishy villains. But still, you've got more actions per table that require thought and action.
