Catt:

As important as I think reads are, and as much as they can improve your winrate, (and they most certainly can, and you have stressed this to me more than anyone else) I am strongly in favor of 4 tabling if I feel that I can handle the swings.

The reads you make 4 tabling are not nearly as good as the reads you make 2 tabling, of course. But I think the basis of a solid winning player in lower limit 6max games (5/10 and below) is his or her play in general situations against typical opponents.

4 tabling helps hone this skill and presents the player with a greater variety of decisions that need to be made in a given period of time. While you may disagree with me on this point, I think multitabling is the quickest way to find and fix leaks.
