This interests me as recently for a combination of reasons im playing many more games than i used to - i currently have 53 active on aprox. 20 different maps with an array of different settings and game types
i genuinely believe around 2o is the approrpriate level for me, would be interested to hear what others think

depends, sequential 20, freestyle no more than 8. but it also depends on type of games, im on trips at the mo so can have probably 30 of them running easy, but if it was 3 player standards probably only 13/14.
just depends wat settings for me really.

I used to be as high as 60, but I find 15-20 is probably the most manageable. At 60 games some games started to look just like other games I was playing.

20-30 games.....I've never been over 35, and those, like someone else stated, started to look like each other....I was making mistakes because of it. So yeah....20-30 games is good.

I work from home so I can comfortably play 50 majority of which are team games anyway & chained so relatively straightforward turns.

When I have the restraint to keep it at 20 to 25 I play far better than when I let my active games get out of hand.

15 - 25, anymore confuses my tiny mind, and sometimes I have to work away from home with no guarantee of internet access.

think i concurr with everyone else - around 20. got up to 30 a couple of weeks ago and it just bacame too stressful. 18 running now is just great with another 4 waiting for players is just about right

i have 60 to 100 going usually... many multiple rounders though that require little time, but a wide variety for the rest typically...

between 30 and 40 is my limit, most escalating 6 players, but it varies.

The most i've ever been in is is 40+.
But i found that i wasn't bothered to make strategies for all of them so i hovered around 2000 for most of the time that i did that.
The ideal number of games for me is around 6... Anymore and i won't give individual games enough attention and i'll just end up losing points.

I've never been beyond 50 but now I'm down to 20-30. I've got a little bored with CC recently but I'm sure almost everyone goes through these phases. I hit a high point a few weeks ago but I've lost a lot since...

I try not having more than 15..But aim for less than 10..I dont play much dubs/trips...And i usually play speed when i play a game..Currently i have one...Although i average about 4 finished public speed games a day..My reason is much like Poo's..I also stayed around 2200 before cutting my game load to less than 10

For a long time I was averaging about 35-40 at a time, and did alright with them for the most part. Now I hover in the 20-30 game range, but would like to pick it back up at some point.

generally i'll run anywhere from 10-20 games at a time. although i'm about to exceed that be a little. i signed up for a few tournaments and i think there all going to fill at the same time. that will put me in close to 30 games at one time.... a little more than i like but should be fine.

in a perfect world, 10... that is about the amount i can keep the games seperate and not make stupid mistakes that blow them. the max for me is 15. when i get too many going, i lose games on stupid errors or mixing up the games, etc... i was just in too many games, and dropped 4 of them due to having too many games going and making stupid errors in game play.-0
