Some people are comfortable playing a lot of sit-n-go tables at once. My personal limit is 3. I find that I can’t keep up with the action at more than 3 tables. I think it’s a good idea to keep each table at the same buy-in amount. Full Tilt Poker makes it easy to keep an eye on all tables at once because their poker rooms are resizable. Just drag the corner with your mouse to make it larger or smaller.
Players who master multi-table sit-n-go tournaments can earn a decent living, even at the lower limits. It takes some time. Once I had thoroughly studied the sit-n-go strategies, I spent a couple months refining my game and getting tourney experience. After I was winning consistently I went to 2 tourneys at once and then eventually graduated to 3.
The only drawback is when you make the final 3 in all the rooms you’re playing. The fast, aggressive action at the final stages of sit-n-go tourneys can take quite a lot of effort to follow. Of course, making the final 3 in all 3 games is a nice problem to have!
