This slowly tightens up with each additional table until:
11-12 tables -> I run 23/18, with the best results
So clearly the key variable here isn't necessarily the amount of tables, but rather how tight I'm playing. But it's an interesting finding nonetheless, and probably a good indication that I should focus on tightening up regardless of how many tables i have on the go.
I used to find this a lot before I started playing Zoom and there is definitely a sweet-spot for a lot of players imo between too few and too many tables. I used to find that once I got past that sweet spot however, I was still playing around 23/18 but my 3-bet and AF used to drop dramatically and then cause me to go on a bad run. I think the main issue was that I was just missing out on way too many profitable spots in the smaller pots and stacking off pre with a default range that just wasn't appropriate against a lot of villains.
I'm still finding a strong correlation between my VPIP/PFR and my winrate though now I'm 4-tabling Zoom too. I often run as wide as 32/27 in sessions and rarely have a winning session, whereas my 23/18-ish sessions (about as tight as I get nowadays) are rarely losing sessions. Daven referred to this recently as "range creep and post-flop ridiculousness" and he's absolutely spot-on as far as the worst elements of my game are concerned (and usually the former leads to the latter!). In short, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not good enough to play the sexy LAG style that we'd all love to be able to play, but who cares when a TAG style kills it at the stakes I play?
