I don't expect to do a HUGE amount of reviewing over the next couple of weeks as my sole goal is to play 400 games but I was awake bright and early this morning and with the tables too quite at this time of the day I decided to run over last nights games.
It is very important when mass multi-tabling (12 is alot for me but I was still comfortable) that I am not making any BIG mistakes or playing too tightly and folding my stack down to 0. I did notice during my session that in quite a few games may stack got really low (4-8BB).
Thankfully, on review this was due to being card-dead than missing spots. My gut feeling was right also, out of the 12 games I made few mistakes and was just on the wrong side of variance.
This is one example for instance:

I did not make a cash last night but this is kinda standard and I will have to get used to that. However, it's a long road ahead and hopefully I'm at the final table more often than not!
