For me, if I added tables and felt like my game was suffering because of it, then I would drop the tables and try to figure out how I could fix things so that I could add the tables back and still maintain my game. It was a slow pain-staking process, but now I can say that I can play pretty damn close to my "A" game while 24-tabling as long as it's not on the "fast" tables.

Of course massive multi-tabling is only about 25% or less of the time that I put into poker, which is something else that a lot of people don't understand. In my very over-rated-by-newbies opinion, I don't think that you can improve at poker beyond a certain extent if you are always playing a shitload of tables.

On the other hand I think that everyone playing 6-max should get to be comfortable with 8-tabling and everyone playing 9-max should get to be comfortable with 12-14 tabling just because this is the Internet and volume is a money-making advantage over live play. I'm not saying that you should play this way all of the time, but I think that you should be capable of doing it.

Every time that I have a long session of a lot of tables, I spend at least 30-45 minutes afterwards looking at a lot of specifics in my session to see if I'm drifting off towards committing a lot of mistakes that I have let creep into my multi-tabling game in the past.

Edit: Also, if you've been playing 25nl and below for more than eight or nine months, you seriously need to stop fucking multi-tabling. Here's my logic: if you've been playing 25nl and below for that long, then you suck (no offense intended). Part of the reason you probably suck is that you're too busy trying to put in a shitload of hands instead of spending that time working on your game. I hardly see anyone in the chat room, I hardly see anyone [new] in Ventrilo, and I hardly ever see anyone contacting me or any of the other regulars on AIM or whatever (although a few have in the past couple of months). If you can't play 4 tables of 25nl FR for a good profit, then what the fuck makes you think you can play 12?
