At least 50 but that doesn't mean I want to play so many every time.
Usually better to do 20-30 with more quality.
Sometimes even 5-10 is enough.

I've played over 10 at once it's crazy and too much. I can play many tournaments in a day tho, let's say I can play about 12 before it's a problem

I have played 20 in a day once. Have not done that in years though. This was from the old days when we were allowed on poker stars.

several, the more tired I get, the better I play, because the anxiety passes and the concentration increases, now against sleep, there's no way around it.

I can play 2 long tourneys in a day but I like them to be spaced apart for a bit of time.

I can play two or three tournaments at the same time, especially on my day off, on the computer, and of course at home. As for the duration, I can exceed seven hours if I can, especially if my level of performance in the tournament is good and motivating.

For myself, it a matter of how long the poker session is more so than how many tournaments. Plus there many other factors that could effect how I feel, but if I have planned to play a long poker session I could probably play 12 hours or so. I know from previous tournaments when Ive made it very deep, by the time the tournaments done so am I :).

Four at the same time works best for me. If I play more, I won't catch any bluff, as I can only react to the cards but not observe the other players anymore.

For me it's about 6 to 7 hours of play. 2 tournaments at the same time sometime 3, I really like to concentrate on the players, their betting patterns, are they on tilt, have they won a big pot at the last hand...etc. I tried to do multi-tabling on mtts but I didn't do a great job, I get tired quicly and played in an automatic manner like in the cash games and we know that mtts have their own strategy, so I missed all the infos above.

If I'm lucky then just one; unless it's a CC event then I might play 2.

It seems to me that it's not the number of tournaments, but their success. I can play 10 tournaments and get tired of losing. I can also play 50 tournaments and not get tired at all because of a good win.

I think I can play as many tournaments I can in 7-8 hours. I noticed that after 8-10 hours, I start to get tired. I usually stop my session when I see I start to make wrong decisions because of my tiredness.

At the same time? I never go above 4 just to keep myself in check. But subsequently once after the other with a good and a long run? Not more than 2.

It depends on the time the tournament is played, after six or eight hours of one tournament, you will not play another one because your chances, as well as your mental condition, decrease, but after two or three hours, if there is a desire and time, there are no obstacles. I used to play several tournaments at the same time, it's not a good solution for a long time, focusing on several tables is tiring. By playing one tournament you are more focused on the others playing at the table, increasing your chances. So it all depends on the time you spend playing.

I can play 4-6 tournaments at the same time, of course everything will depend on whether I manage to get to the final table somewhere, such a table will certainly be a priority and I will not open new ones at this time

To be a winning poker player in the long term, it's advisable to launch up to 20 tournaments in the session to make the necessary volume.

Beginner can start with 2 to 4 tables and not exceed 2 hours to launch his last tournament.

To optimize time, you have to learn to multi-table.

It is not the number of tournaments, but the time of the grind that is the standard for him.
However, 8-10 hours is already very tiring.

I usually get tired when I play more than 18 tournaments in a session. It largely depends on the duration of the tournament. It's hard enough to play the last tournament, especially if it's a success and you can count on the final table. In this case, my session lasts 12 hours or more.

how long you can play in the tournament depends directly on your physical condition, I can play in cash twice as long as in tournaments, especially when bad cards start to be dealt for a long period, negative feelings appear and it is exhausting, I can close the tournament and leave the game, despite the presence of a certain amount chips:)

2 or 3 serious tournaments. For me is better to count in hours of play. After 5-6 hours of play, I have enough.
