Multi-Tabling and poker tracker

lil feller · #1 03-31-2005, 06:04 PM

Hi there, I don't normally post here, but was hoping to get some help. I have a 20.1" lcd monitor, that supports 1600x1200 resolution. I like to play 4 party games at once, and would like to make better use of the game time window feature. Four games fills my screen, but I know of other people that somehow do both, any suggestions?

Thanks,

lf

search for gametime+ and/or playerview

My version of Gametime and Playerview are a few months old since I was away for a while, so I don't know if I follow exactly what you're saying about the Gametime window. Both of those programs provide an overlay that goes on top of your existing table. The Gametime program has its own window where you add tables and such, but...it's not incredibly useful.

By the way, solve your problems of wanting more windows without disrupting your screen, if that's what you're talking about, by adding another monitor. Dual monitor capability is common on video cards these days and very cheap, if you don't already have it. I'm on two 19-inch monitors at 1600x1200 each, and can easily see and play 8 tables at once with no overlap. Total cost: a bit over $200 for both combined.

I totally agree with getting a second monitor, even if you
are just four-tabling:

1) You have PT, GameTime+ and the lobby screen and whatever
else you happen to be doing on the second monitor.

2) You're only a short step from adding more tables and then
you can really make even more money. If you do add tables,
only do so when you are comfortable, and even though more
than eight is possible (I've even tried 11!), it's a bit
stressful except for the hardcore gamers and the young.

Yes. Most video cards now drive two monitors and they can be set up with different resolutions.
