Multi-tabling isn't usually about outplaying opponents, although the better MTers can still do that to some degree.  The whole concept behind MT'ing is exploiting tiny edges in volume.  Your bb/100 decreases since you're playing fewer hands, but your winrate increases because you're getting more playable hands.

Also, virtually all good MTers use a HUD so they do have information on their opponents, especially the regs, at a glance.

There are way too many insanely good MTers making a killing at 16-20 tabling or more to suggest that it's not poker (or not profitable).  It just takes a lot of practice and not everyone can adapt to it I guess.

When I first tried, it took all of my concentration to play 2 tables.  The biggest hurdle was adjusting my game so as not to try and outplay people as often.  Get in when I think I'm ahead, or get out -- don't try to get tricky.  I think this is where most new MTers go wrong, I know I did.  But once that settled in, I added 2 more, and then 2 more.  Now I comfortably play 6-8 tables.  Although I'm on a terrible downswing with ring lately, but that's more due to tilt and self-control probably than anything else, plus I get these spells of high-variance play style that I have a hard time shaking sometimes.  Like when I've settled into a groove of running over a passive table, then not making the adjustment when TAG regs sit down.  So I've backed off a bit on ring and am 1-2 tabling MTTs/SnGs for awhile -- the last time this happened, I won a major MTT and cashed big in several smaller ones, so it boosted both my BR and my confidence.  Here's hoping for a repeat...
