how often do you discuss strategy @ skype or mse?
Cash is much easier to multitable then husngs because its such a static game and you don't have new screens popping up etc. I usually play 1-3 husngs comfortably, superturbo's its easy to play 4-6 and SH cash you can easily do 8 or more.

I've been playing plo for a week or three now, and am far from good at it. If I had to give 5 tips:
- Realise that position, especially as stacks get deeper, is insanely important in plo. You have to play super tight in position and you can play super loose on the button. If you're say 300bb deep, against an early open, who opens maybe 10% in that position, you can probably play like double that range and be profitable.
- This relates to the previous one, but be really tight OOP, for nlhe players it will seem very natural to open something like J893DS utg but that's too loose. Another example, MP opens and its folded to you in the bb and you have QKT5 single suited, you gotta fold that.
- Don't overrate hands like AQ25DS, it looks pretty but is not strong, the cards dont work well together. Also, low cards are TERRIBLE for your hand, 2345DS is a weak hand.
- In plo there's no such things as betting only for value or only as a bluff, often you want to keep betting just to keep initiative and possibly bluff with your made hand on the river.
- 3b a ton in position, esp with deeper stacks and use your position to apply pressure
