Wow. How long have you been doing that ?
For me anything above 30hours/week is serious strain and after say 4 days of heavy multitabling I usually take at least one day break. I dont know how many hours most frequent players on that forum put. I think that anything over 40hours/week is very hard to mantain and its very hard to show your good game while doing this.
Recently I had first serious tilt problems in my poker life despite having rock solid bankroll (60xbuyins) and running quite well for 40k hands. Ive just put too many hours, get tired, and had enough poker. Maybe its just me but I dont think you can play this game "full time" in 9-17 sense and mantain full balance.
