Anyone got any advice? I can't seem to be able to play more than 2-3 tables at once. If I play say 4 to 6 tables I lose all the games. I am playing regular SnG because turbos are a little like a bingo game.

Practice makes perfect. don't force action it will come as you're getting familair with diffrent spots and therefore don't need as much time per decision.
Actually turbos often have a bigger hourly amount as you can put in more volumes of those as they run more frequenlty.
The way I approach multi-tabling is I started at one and when I found myself getting bored and losing focus I added another. Then repeat. The way I see it is if you are losing focus then you have too much downtime between required actions and your brain starts to wander from the Poker tables. And you want to keep your mind focused so add one at a time when you start feeling that you are handling the tables you currently play.
Also for my first session of the day in cash games I only play one tables of zoom to see how my form is for you playing SnG I'd suggest 2. Then when I am playing close to perfect form I'll play 4 tables if I am playing badly I'll stick to 1 and if I am playing okay but Not great I'll play 1 or 2 tables till the end of the day or until I feel my form has returned.

I think that is what I am doing wrong. I usually start multi tabling straight away. I will give that a try.
Thanks for your answers.

I've tried it, to put volume and make more money, but the fact is: I just loose when I'm multitabling.
I feel like I'm playing on robot mode, check-fold mode, not thinking straight mode, fold to much mode, whatever you want to call it.
I can't get reads on my opponents, I miss a lot of spots where I could win, I pay when I shouldn't.
I can only play my A game, give the best of me, with 1 table, just like in live games.
Even on the lower limits I do this: play 1 table.
On this limits I recgonize it's possible to win playing a lot of tables because:
- Players are weak.
- The spots you're put in become more and more common and you just act without thinking because you know by experience that you're making the best decision;
On higher limits, that I've never played, I think multitabling is suicide. Players are good, you have to pay attention to what they're doing and they're tracking your actions as well.
Finally, I just think you can't improve when multitabling. And when you don't improve, you become the loser, not the winner.
