2 new things in my life... (monitor related)

[Slim Pickens]

I am using a game controller. It's in the beta phase now, so it's only good for limit games and folding a lot early on. With a little better controller, one with an analog joystick (aka profitstick), it should be ready for the bubble pooshfest. The software running it is Pinnacle Game Profiler. I also have a separate USB number pad for typing in bets and a trackball hooked up for a backup/alternate mouse.

The chair is from Ikea... Malung I think is what it's called.

The rabbit is the cutest [censored] little [censored] bastard in the world.

Not pictured: awesome girlfriend who was cooking me dinner while I was drinking and gambling.

Wearing blue jean shorts that you shouldn't have owned past 1993 - Priceless.

FYI I've owned those shorts since 1996 and I haven't been "cool" since 1992. Those shorts make me downright dapper for either a grad student or a poker player.

you will be much happier with your life.

ps. i hear rabbit stew is quite good....

[Slim Pickens]

Rabbit stew was my first thought, but he's kinda stringy and skinny.

[viennagreen]

is it possible for you to point us in the direction of a proper "profitstick"?

once i started eight-tabling, i tried out some game controllers but none of them did the trick...

i currently sit at a desk using a trackball balanced on my left thigh (for large inter-monitor movements) and a mouse with my right hand for the finer movements... it works well-- but i originally pictured being able to lean back in my chair a comfy-ly play some poker (like in your pic)...

[jgunnip]

Bongo rules. love the set up.

My new monitor arrived. I can now 8-table. All of you at the 11's, look out for a little while. Feng Shui snobs, the bird feeder is outside, and note the bird windchime hanging inside.
