Hey guys I just want to thank you all for your input. Robb's response was very in depth about the multi tabling thing and I strongly agree with this information.

I'm really just trying to get through 10NL as quick as possible since playing only a few tables and watching donks min bet 10 cents into 90 cent pots can get seriously boring after awhile. (Anyone else know how this feels!?) I think once I'm properly rolled for 25NL I'll have to for sure decrease the amount of tables I'm playing since I'm sure theres more grinders the higher you go that need attention paid to. Also once I reach higher levels I understand that I'm going to need to dig for ever bit of value I can get, which will for sure involve playing fewer games. I'm just so grossed out with 10NL at the moment I'd like it to end soon lol. I couldn't imagine getting through 20k hands here on only 4 tables - hopefully I can rid myself of this mindset for the next step.

I've been playing for roughly a year and a half so I'm not entirely new to poker, however I'm taking a fresh start approach as I suffered from poor BR management in the past (used to play bigger games without proper BR, which is why 10NL is boring without my computer screen being littered with tables). Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm not a complete noob playing up to 16 tables (now that would be for sure suicide). Oh yeah and as soon as I just clear out of 10NL I'm for SURE dropping the # of tables I play so I can learn more at 25NL. I hear the jump from 25NL to 50NL is quite significant (I guess I've experienced this before actually) so I'll definately have to sharpen up my skills as soon as i can.

That's just a little insight on how I got to where I am now...pathetic I know, but again thanks for everyones input. I'm realzing that the posts from these forums are more valuable than the content of most poker books.

One more thing, Robb are you saying that once your winrate is solid and your play is really good that when your bankrolled for say 100NL then thats the time to add more tables because you'll be making some real cash - and of course loyalty programs pay off volume. This sounds pretty logical, earn the skills down low, and then once honed move up to a larger game. Once beating the larger game add as many tables necessary to increase profit and voila, $$$. Is this long term plan along correct lines of thinking?
