Yes Lurcha, you can.

However, 1-Tabling exposes you to greater variance, & the more Tables you play, the less that Variance will impact your results. Over, say, 6 Tables, it gives you chance to "regress to the mean". (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean )

Against that, the more Tables we play simultaneously, the less optimally we play. Nobody could argue otherwise - we could not possibly play our best poker if we were, say, 50-tabling.
 
So the answer is what you are comfy with, really.

I've heard it argued that some players play better when they Multi-Table, as they concentrate harder. I'm not sure I buy that, though. If, hypothetically, I had every penny I possess on the Table, & my whole financial future depended upon getting out ahead, I know how many Tables I'd be on - one!

entirely possible live poker.

to make a living one tabling online you will need to have fantastic game selection/very disciplined and also at a fairly high blind level.
