I sell furniture at Office MAX as a part time job. Get something with a low, wide back, it's more ergonomic. Also, look for something with adjustible arms. You want the level of the arms to be higher than your keyboard tray to prevent carpal tunnel.
bdk3clash- How much you pay for that chair? If its the one I'm thinking of (OM-200) Office Max sells it for $59.99

Get a Zero Gravity Chair if possible. It takes all of the pressure off of your spine. I'm thinking of getting one with a separate floor based tray system to put my laptop on. It might seem like overkill, but all this sitting while playing poker will take it's toll after a few years. On the downside, they are expensive and would be harder to integrate with a desktop setup.

Here's a link to the style i'm taking about:

Can't you just lie on your bed w/ laptop on lap w/ pillow under head? And then roll over onto your stomach w/ laptop on bed, and then back to back? That's what i do, is this bad for my back in any way? my back starts to ache in each position after an extended period, so i go to the other... When i say extended i mean ~50min-60min

#1 - go see a doctor if you haven't already
#2 - you might try the floor on your stomach, especially if your bed is very soft. You don't want to arch your back too much for prolonged periods of time. It weakens the back muscles, I'm told.

I'm a former back pain sufferer so I do whatever I can to avoid it coming back! Anyone can PM me if you need advice on the matter from someone who's been there.

get a laptop and stay in bed.
