I think your perspective is wrong. Thinking in terms of how many hands you need to play leads you to focus on playing as many tables as possible, instead of on playing each hand to maximize EV. I don't know what your year is or why it needs salvaging, but I think making sure you're focusing on making the right decision everytime is way more important to your profitability then making sure you're squeezing out those extra 100 hands an hour. I know that personally there's a significant drop off in my bb/h when I try to play over 4 tables.
