How to Play 2 Tables Online?

I know this has been discussed in the past. Again, how do you play 2 tables @ once without two monitors? How can you display both tables in full view without switching back/forth?

Decrease the screen resolution. I do this by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking properties, clicking the "Settings" tab, then dragging the screen resolution tab. For two games I make it 1024 X 768 and for three games I make it as small as I can (1280 X 1024 on my computer).

Have a good one.

Yikes, I tried it on mine (which goes to 1600 x 1200)...I'll need the extra income from playing three tables to pay for a new set of eyes...

j/k...I can barely win at one...kudos to those who can though (just stop slowing down my game, ok?).

peace,

Two monitors is the way to go, though.

With so many people buying new flat panels, I'd bet you know someone who has a monitor and maybe a video card they'd sell real cheap. Ask around.

I switch back and forth and it isn't really a problem!

I never understood why people playing two games at a time couldn't keep up. Usually, I play two games and read/post here at the same time...and I still get bored. I suppose that might have something to do with the fact that I see about 2% of all flops, while most other players see 35% or more. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

2%!?? Thats waaaay to tight. Just looking at my stats for today (a strong winning session), I've seen 22% of the flops.

I hope you were kidding about 2%...

Haven't you ever had the table switch JUST as you clicked.. and either folded a monster or called a raise with nothing?
Pretty upsetting in a pot-limit game!

Myself, I feel I lose too much focus on THE most important thing - my opponents - when i try to play two tables.

I play three, post here, play chess, and if I get stuck, and if I don't take my ritalin I add a fourth.

Yes. I accidentaly capped with KQo out of position the other day and ended up losing to AA (on a K high board). I have the tables offset so the buttons don't have the exact same position on the screen, so it is rare that I get the wrong button.
