People wouldn't do multiple entries if it weren't pos ev, so I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying it's not because you can "take coinflips" or because "you always have 9 outs."

I think this is at least part of it. It's the same philosophy that a lot of good players use in the early stages of a rebuy tournament: take a lot of risks, even make -EV bets, to try to build a big stack. If you go broke, you can always rebuy. With 6 accounts, he's essentially playing with 5 rebuys when everyone else is playing a freezeout. For a good player, that has to be an advantage.

Imagine you're playing six *separate* multi's at the same time. Why would you play differently in each than if you were only playing in one? The only difference here is that you can't possibly win 1st with each account if you are multi-accounting in one tourney. So your prize-equity is a little less than if you were playing in six separate tourneys. But early-on, I can't see how that should affect your strategy much.
