How many games can you play at once?

[Dodger]

Last night I tried entering 6 freerolls which would all hit at the same time... Got off to a bad start when 32Red would not log me in at 6.00, started blaming my son who was playing counterstrike through the same connection, then went straight out of a Paddy Power tiddler, but at 7.00 the fun really started. 32Red still denied my existence but solid starts on Sporting odds and Poker4ever meant that I had 2 games toddling along nicely. At 7.30 Virgin would not let me in as it is same software as SO...my attempts to get on made me fold a couple of strongish hands on the other tables. So back to just 2 games on the screen and no other distractions...I was managing just fine. 8.00 introduced the Ladbrokes and a chance for 5 minutes on Virgin, during an SO break. In 5 minutes on Virgin I had totally lost it, but it wouldn't let me off the game during a hand and I started to panic....I needed to get back to SO before all my stack went {No...idiot...half an hour absence wouldn't even dent your stack!}. Sweat was trickling steadily down my face as paranoia took over, so all in on 45 got me off Virgin and somebody made me go all in on Ladbrokes with 39, think it was that damned manic monkey sitting on my shoulder. So finally back to just 2 tables, the sweating abated and the breathing returned to normal, eventually winning $1.07 and $2.00. So I now know that 2 tables is my limit...yet people will post that they play on 4 or more tables regularly...is this really possible? retaining the skill level on all the tables? So be honest...how many tables can you manage without your play suffering?

Re: How many games can you play at once? Well i think i could honestly said one.. I can concentrate to full power.so to speak. But i have regularly played 2, 3 is far to much to try but i have tried it with no success. So i play 2 quite a few times but tend to pick one with good value to play a good game ..:ok
