The number of tables you play has no bearing on your variance. Playing more tables will hurt your winrate, very little to a lot depending on how much your play falls off and how much your reads weaken. And if you play long enough, you can expect to see downswings of at least 150BB (just had my first one in the last week), and sometimes more. There might be some old posts speculating as to how often you can expect one, or how likely they are to occur over x many hands. But keep studying, keep playing, cut back the number of tables if you need to, and don't become weak-tight just because you have been losing.
