You can train yourself to do anything, at any speed. When I began, I was only playing one table at a time. Then it progressed to 2 to 3 to 8. I have found that the only thing I am loosing here are MAXIMUM READS on my opponents. The thing is, I play so many tables and so many hands that I develop a visual memory of avatars and the type of players they are. The guy with the redskin football player with 'soccor' in his name (don't ask) is a very tight player and only buys in for 40% of the maximum buy-in.. I know his style of play. crdshrk with his goofy face is also a tight player, but is aggressive postflop. I saw this one girl on one table make horrible move after horrible move, on this day, on this table, she is my fish, and I remember which table she plays at.Playing this many tables does implement a mechanical feel to it, but it is not without it's objective decisions.

I know that the higher the level I play, that I will need to rely more on reads, and thus reduce the number of tables played... but I have not yet reached a level where I'll need to do this. Maybe at 400NL ? I see myself 8 tabling 100NL one day and profiting from 7+. I see it as perfecting a limit mechanically, profitably.
I play at the 100 and 200NL tables. And believe me there is a big difference between the 25NL and the 200nl. Like you I started at the 25NL and worked on my NL game there.
This is not a question if you can play a lot of tables at one time but what happens to your game when you do. Like I said in my previous quote I have dual monitors and all the trimmings. This was done to make it easier to play multiple tables. But as I moved up to the higher limits my decisions became harder and a mistake here is very very costly. Myself I had to play less tables to play well. There is no doubt if you play 8 tables at the 200 to 400NL tables. People are going to take a lot of pots away from you. There is a lot more bluffing at these levels. And bluffs that mean a lot more. But you will find out for your self. Look at all the best pro’s who play on line, John Dagastino, Layne Flack, John Juanda ect... You will never see these guys playing at even 4 tables. Let alone 8.
