On PS/FTP, I was able to do 8-10 MTGSNGs at once because the filled up regularly. Maybe throw in a few MTTs as well for a total of 12-15 games.
Now, I dont get to play as often as I did before and games dont fill-up/start as often, so I usually only play 1-2 games.

I sometimes played 3 tournaments but the tournaments freerolls being played at the same time. Personally beyond 2 is not good because you can not monitor and analyze each game table correctly. When this happens, I focus on tournaments avce the highest jackpot. The good side is that you can play the good hands more easily.

4 is ideal but I've played 6-8 as well at a time. You should have a good tracker software. Also only focus on the hand you are playing and not on the outcome of a previous hand. You should be focusing on playing your hands correctly and you will surely be a profitable player.
SNGs are faster compared to MTTs but MTTs have a bigger payout if you make it to the final table. Practice where you prefer to play and how confident and patient you are will help you out.

it depends how well u can play in more tables. need practice and with time u can add 1 more table each time. try to see if u can play your game. i prefer to play 4-6 tables in my screen. if i add more, i cannot play them the same.
Now, sng or mtts, this is other subject. u could try to mix them..

First of all, welcome to Cardschat to all you new members. I miss introduction treads sometimes, but I do say hello and welcome as much as I can. How many tables a player can handle changes from one player to another, as we see here. For me, the most I've played at a time is 4, but I've found out that is to much. Matter of fact, I've been advised from some members here that it's to many.I'm 57 and I'm not as fast as I need to be playing 4. Sometimes, I even miss when it's my turn, and get set out. Playing 3 is a lot better for me. If I do play only 2, I'm bad about looking at FB when that's the worst thing I can do. So I guess 3 is my best bet.

Intermediate results of our discussion, 50% of the players feeling quite normal for the 2 poker tables, 12% play 3 tables, 20% play table 4+, 5% playing 6+ tables, and 13% other. The main comments - you need to play as many tables as you can control, not to lose control.

Our brains on multitasking aren't nearly as good as we think they are. When you're not actually doing both activities at the same time, in fact, you're now diverting your attention from one part of your brain to another part of your brain. That takes time, that takes resources, that takes brain cells.
What happens on the other side of the brain is that you're starting a new activity, so in fact you're probably slower and not nearly as good at doing both activities at the same time. We can shift our focus really fast, sometimes it takes just a 10th of a second. But the time doesn't matter as much as the bandwidth the brain requires to move back and forth. Now that might affect your performance, and might also affect the quality of the work that you finally produce.

The problem might be that you lack an advance knowledge of how to play tournaments when deep so you might need to refresh your theory base first and try SNG on the meantime .
If this is not the case , try relaxing on the breaks , be fresh and not tired when you start playing a tour , and play less tables if you cannot manage playing a large number of them silmutaneously .
I used to have 12 tables open playing limit holdem, but I was losing hehe .
I changed it to 6 more or less tours , one of them a cash game , usually zoom , with the time it was limited to two I would say nowadays as I want to be more carefull and because I 'm getting more tired , but this is not an absolute rule , if it's a freeroll I might open more tables

Playing two tables. Love the spin and go's. On more tables there are hard to concentrate
