I'm 12-tabling, and I need to make about $800-900/mo to survive.

When you say you twelve table I assume (maybe wrongly) that you are doing it continuously. And if you are doing so, even at the 6.50 level you will be incredibly stressed with your current bankroll and you should stop.

Take the common scenario where you start your session with 12 tables. Bust out of 8 and start 8 new ones while 4 continue from your first "round."

Suddenly when you peek at your bankroll now you have 20 less buy-ins. So only $370 left to your name(If you started with your $500 bankroll that you said you currently have)

This exponentially increases your stress even though this is perfectly routine. When you glance at the bankroll things seem worse than they really are because of the increased equity that you have in the tournaments that you remain in from the first round.

Playing out the set before starting any new tables allows this "hidden equity" to be reflected in your bankroll when you buy in to your next tournaments.
