I'll play 2 screens sometimes but 99% of the time I play one screen. Observation is a huge element of being a successful player. You'd be amazed what information you miss out on playing multi screen games.

6 tournaments simultaneously is my number. It is the ideal number for me. With more I can't pay attention and make correct decisions.

it's convenient to play when I have 6-8 tables open. If I load more poker tables, it's a little inconvenient anymore, so I try to play no more than 6-8 tables I manage to quietly play so many poker tables I like to focus on playing poker so I don't load too many tables
Oh yah.. I hear ya.

It's same for me. It's okay for me to play 8 tables as long as I'm not doing too many push-ups... but once I start staring at myself in the mirror & taking pictures I can admire later, then I can only manage 6 tables.
Push-ups - 8tables
Posing - 6 tables

Let's go!

Playing on 3 tables in parallel already causes some difficulties, and 4 is almost complete chaos for me.

I presume you mean tables and not actual screens or monitors.

Cash games and SNG's I will play up to 6 but find the sweet spot for me is 4 tables.

Tournaments I will play a maximum of 8 tables and if I go deep then this get's diluted to 1 - 4 tables and able to concentrate for the final table.

Btw I use a 2 monitor set up to fit all the tables on. ;)

Up to four tables is comfortable for me. I have dual (2) 27 inch monitors, so can play more, but is not as enjoyable.

I only use my mobile phone and I can't handle three tables. You run alone from one to the other, you want to do something at one and press another 😃. Two is enough for me.

The ideal number for me are 4 tables, but I'm still comfortable with 5-6 tables. More than that, I think I lose focus on the tables.

I only play in tournaments and I play up to 4 tables at a time. So far, it's hard for me to play more than 4 tables.

I think that the size of the tables is also important, I play from a laptop - it’s not comfortable to play more than six, but if you play on a 22+ monitor, then it’s comfortable to play at 12 tables

When I play cash, I usually aim to play 6 tables at a time, if my site traffic allows. MTTs I'll usually play 1-3 since there aren't too many running at the same time, normally. But yeah, 6 tables is the sweet spot for a 1080p monitor on pokerstars, in my opinion. On rare occasions, I'll do 8.

I think up to 6 screens I'm comfortable
6 tables at a time will be a very difficult task for me. I'm not saying that it's unrealistic, but it will be quite difficult for me personally. I usually play two to four tables. Maybe next year I will start playing on 5 tables, I hope I can handle it :)

Second monitor loaded with informational stuff.
