I like to do 2 at once. It keeps me from getting bored.
Sometimes I do lose track of who is tight and who is loose but I normally notice the rocks and maniacs.
I often play Omaha hi/lo so the cards are more important than the players and hands take so long that I can play one and not have to keep folding on the other table.
I have played 7 play money tables for a laugh and it was a nightmare. I don't see how anyone could do it for
real money.
Another thing that I have done for fun is play 4 tables at once with 4 different games. Omaha hi/lo, 7 card stud, no limit Holdem and Razz.
That is enough to fry your brain.

Count me among the mt-challenged who are too easily confused to make it work for me. I get completely lost when the screens flip back and forth on my turn to act. And, if a decision comes up simultaneously on more than one table, I panic at the running clock.
Watching the 2004 WSOP profile of "Crew" member Scott Fischman during one of the broadcasts last summer, I noticed that he was shown sitting at his home computer, playing online. His monitor was displaying four different tables in quadrants. Since I haven't encountered a poker site which has this sort of display option, I assumed that it was a hardware package he was using. Anybody have some input on that?
I don't know what you mean by "in quadrants" but I have set my screen resolution to 1600x1200 and I can get 4 games on screen at once. It looks like my screen is split in 4 with a game in each corner.
Is that what you mean?
It is cool because the screens don't flip back and forth either and I can watch all 4 at once. I get plenty of advance notice when it is my turn to act.
