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

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.

On a separate note, meet Bongo the anti-tilt rabbit. He was wondering around my yard, and now he's been adopted. Most of the time he lives in a box. This picture was taken just before he took a whiz on the rug.

Are you using a video game controller? I think my mouse is making my hand hurt. I have a logitech mx510

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.

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)...

I will be experimenting with game controllers in the next week or so. I'll let you all know.

I've a wireless bluetooth number pad (the one from the DiNovo Logitech Desktop) and I use it both to move between tables, and to put bets in (the "-" key goes all-in, "." folds and "Enter" calls, with "+" for raise). Sooo much easier than using the mouse.
