Miyogi is of course quite correct about the reasons for MT'ing increasing risk of ruin if you are talking about non-bots - certainly once you are talking about playing more than 3 tables...
If you are unable to play more than a handful of tables, that's an issue for you. I don't think there's anything unusual about playing 10-12 tables - as I often do.
Except for "outside" effects (like, for example, your internet dying when you're playing) your bankroll should be a reflection of your winrate, not the number of tables you play.
There is no difference between playing four tables or one table when it comes to bankroll requirements - it just happens that when you play four tables, you'll play through four times as many hands.

So Josem either
a)has the cold logic of a cyborg to make the perfect decision every single time and never become emotionally involved in a hand
The two phrases in that sentence are not connected. I certainly make mistakes, but I don't get emotionally involved in a hand. After several hundred thousand of the things, I just don't care enough.

b) is kidding himself and not recognizing when he is tilting
...and I still don't understand why this is connected to the number of tables played. I'm not trying to be an arse here - I genuinely have no comprehension of why playing more tables would cause you to go "on tilt" more.
BTW,
even if it did, you should still calculate your bankroll requirements on the basis of your winrate, not on the basis of your multi-tabling habit.
Quote:
Playing more tables may not cause you to tilt more often but gives you the option of blowing way more money way quicker when you do tilt. ie. fish sucks out and you get mad playing 1 table you have time to cool down before making another decision while playing 8 tables you are making another decision almost immedietely.
...but when you're playing 8 tables, you don't invest the same emotional attachment in each hand.
Hell, after the money goes in, half the time I don't even see about what the result is to get tilted about it.

It is a pretty standard thought as far as I've read that playing more tables gives you less attention to pay at each and will lower your bb/100.
While that may be your experience, it is not mine (up to a certain point, obviously)
Quote:
If you are still claiming to always make a perfect decision then yes going from 2 tables to 8 will have no affect but for the rest of us humans we can't get reads on 4x as many people nearly as well
I never claimed to make perfect decisions.

I would agree that once you know your winrate (and your standard deviation) you can change your bankroll accordingly but OP likely does not have the 20k+ hands to start figuring those things out.
Then OP probably doesn't need 100% mathematically based bankroll management skills. Just have about 20 buyins and move up and down freely, especially to begin with.
