How many people play 5 or more tables, what stakes?

Just a quick survey. I'm curious how feasible it actually is to play upwards of 5-12 tables at one time.

How many of you ACTUALLY do it?

I never play more than 2 myself, but I know 3 or 4 is quite common.

thanks.

8 tables of 3/6. I hope to hit 5/10 before the end of april, so that I make my home permanently there by my anniversary of first playing poker.

I already make single tables expeditions into 5/10 and 10/20 full, but only when sharp, curious and having found a very soft game.

I've 8-tabled 5/10 (6max) and 6-tabled 10/20 (6max) (just started 10/20). Playing 4 is a breeze though, and anything less is almost a bore. Playing 4 is kind of a nice number, because you can still talk on AIM and surf the net too.

I recently got my 2-monitor setup running and I'm attempting to break into 5+ tabling at 15/30, after playing 3-4 for quite some time. I'm not sure I'll ever try to push past 6.. unless I was ever forced to drop back to 3/6 or 5/10, where the money is easier to grab without paying full attention.

I also still 2-table with some frequency, when I'm trying to fold laundry or talk on the phone or whatever.

I can't imagine trying to do 5+ on one 1600x1200 screen, I consider 2 basically mandatory, though I know there are some people that have done 8+ on a single screen.

I play up to 7 tables of 2/4 full or bonuswhoring, or something like 4 tables of 2/4 full and 2 1/2 6 max tables. Only have one 2001fp, will probably be bumping it up to 8 full tables when I get my second one.

when bonus whoring, I'll do 8 tables of .50/1 limit or 8 tables of NL25 6-max

I usually 4 table 2/4 on Party but will 8 table at 1/2 on the cryptos when clearing a bonus just to get them done quickly as they take for damn ever.

I could only pray that paradise would allow more than 3 tables. I was just playing those 3 and I wanted to shoot myself. I had to open up a couple party tables just to keep myelf interested.

I play from 4-6 tables of 15/30 and maybe 1-2 tables of 30/60 when I feel like "really" playing. Usually just 4 tables of 15 while surfing the web and talking on AIM on the second monitor. I have played 10 tables of 3/6 before and I think I could do it but it takes a lot more focus and attention to not time out, etc.
