Today, I was playing two ring-game tables at Party (bonus whoring) and a tourney at Poker Room.
At the tourney, I get JJ in MP. I'm waiting for it to be my turn. It's my turn to act, and I'm about to raise it, when all of a sudden, a Party table pops up. I have KQo im LP. I don't want to auto-check, because How I play this hand depends alot on what happens before me. So I click the Pokerroom table, trying to bring it into the foreground, so I can make my raise and then decide what to do on the Party table once it's my turn to act. The problem is that the Party table stays in the foreground; I can't get the Pokerroom table to come up. So I say screw it, and check the call button on the Party table. Now I can bring up the Pokerroom table, as I'm maneuvering my mouse over to the raise slider, the other Party table pops up. I have some trash hand, so I click the fold button. Then the other Party table pops up. It's me and the blinds, and one of them has bet at a J,9,3 flop. I don't have time to think, so I fold. Then I get back to the Pokerroom table, and the timer is running out. There are 2 limpers, and I don't have time to make the 6x BB raise I want to make. So I hit the raise button, which ofcourse is a min-raise. I get 2 more callers.
The flop is 6,9,T, 2 spades. someone makes a min-bet, and I raise a little more than the pot. One player after me calls, so does the original bettor. The turn is Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif. It checks to me. I only have enough chips to bet the pot, so I push, and the button calls with QJ.
The thing is, if I had been able to bring up the Pokerroom table when I wanted to, I would have had time to make a propper raise with my jacks, and wouldn't have had to autocall on Party either. Once I saw it was me and the blinds, I could have raised and might have succeeded in stealing.
Is there any way to adjust the settings on my computer so that I can control which table appears in the foreground?
