I can play 2 at the same time and then still watch a movie while i'm playing. I can play 4 tables at the same time but i find then 1 game always suffers. I think 3 tables is good for me but then i can't do anything else other than play those 3. I have managed to play 4 tables and still do well in at least 2 of them. The more you play 3 or 4 tables the better you will get. If you comfortable with 2 tables, then try play 3 and see how you do. Then move onto 4. Eventually you'll be able to play 6 no problem. I have played 9 before but then it gets ridiculous, you can't focus on any of the games,
