If it makes anyone feel better I am still playing one table at a time. I tried 4 tabling and even 6 tabling and felt like I made lots of bad decisions and folded hands I wanted to play and played hands I wanted to fold. I felt at my stage of development that it was better to focus on making the best decision on every street. I actually enjoy the easy pace of one table. Once I am profitable over a 10k stretch I'll either add tables or move up in limits (probably the latter).
Nothing wrong with this, it's the absolute correct approach to take. I don't think any of us advocate playing more tables than you're comfortable with, and it's absolutely not recommended for players just starting out. Some good players may never work their way up to it. That's fine. It's just another approach to playing poker.
I have not been able to get past two tables at a time. To play a true game. I understand the reason behind playing MT's But if you relaying on software to make some of the decisions in the game are you really leaning anything about how to play the game?
I think you (and many others) misunderstand the types of software being advocated and how it's used. Software that makes decisions for you is banned by all
poker sites. It's cheating. No respectable player is promoting that type of software, least of all nobody here at CC.
Tracking software and HUDs don't make any decisions. They just keep up with your data for you, and present it to you in a convenient fashion. It's up to you to make decisions, and trust me -- HUDs and stats in no way can turn a bad player into a good player. A good player is a good player, regardless. The software is simply a tool that, if utilized properly, will advance your skills faster.
Once you know the correct decision, it's irrelevant at what speed you make it. Common sense would tell us that the player who can make the correct decision in an instant is going to be more successful overall than another player who takes 30 seconds to arrive at the same correct decision. Reason being, you can make the correct decisions faster and thus play/win more hands per hour from making those correct decisions. And the only way to get really good at making good snap decisions is to be forced to, which multi-tabling does. Think of it as an intense conditioning environment for your brain, a workout that you can't get playing single tables, or live.
