Right now im playing 2NL and winning at 40bb/100 over around 10k hands, and i think im ready to move up to 5NL. I play 2NL 10 tables at a time and dont pay any attention to specific villians betting patterns and stuff. If i move up to 5NL, how many tables should i start with? How much attention should I put into a villain's play?

6 might be good for full ring until you get the hang of it. It shouldn't take more than a few days until you'll be back up to 10 again.

Do you use a HUD or do you find its not needed if your not paying specific attention to the villains?

Start off with what your comfortable with and add more gradually..

I dont play more than 9 atm mainly because i play on a laptop and can just about get that many on with a little overlap, but i usually start the session with 6 and add more if i feel like it.

I also agree 4 or 6 might be a good number to start with until you realize 5nl is not too much different than 2nl and are back up to 10 tables or more to build your roll quicker.

I think 6 to 8 is ideal but if you have to stack them that inhibits your ability to see whats going on. So I play 4 when I'm taking shots at a new limit. My screen can only handle 4 tables comfortably without much stacking. I need a bigger one

I use HEM's HUD when i do 10tables and I generally only use it to see how aggressive/passive some donks are.
