Default Re: Multi-tabling at the Wynn - investigative reporting by TT

laptops are weird. they don't have to be 1600x1200 to fit 4 tables that way. everything is SUPER small though. its probably some weird widescreen thing.

Looks like his screen is > 1600x1200. How expensive is that laptop?

[/ QUOTE ]

My laptop has a resolution of 1920x1200 and it was less than a grand after all of the promotional coupon stuff. The screen upgrade was the most expensive upgrade on it.

I'm suprised that the Wynn allows that, and I find it hard to believe that it is worth while for the player.

And at Foxwoods, you can't even use a cell phone.

I shot video on my cellphone of Gonores' legeondary mantis style at the Wynn... as soon as I can get it converted, I'll post [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My comment wasn't about your use of your cellphone. I just think it is funny that you can't even take a cellphone out of your pocket at Foxwoods without getting yelled at, but the Wynn lets this guy use a laptop with an internet connection.

Did he have it plugged in? My laptop battery lasts an hour at most.

My wife and I played against this tool last Monday. I thought it was hilarious, and he wasn't paying any attention to the table. The floor seemed to have no problem with it. In fact one of them crawled under the table to plug in his power cord for him. He was then discussing how he played some hands with another floorman. There were a couple of older guys to my left that kept wanting me to explain again what he was doing. I wasn't there very long because I went to play a bad 40 game, but my wife loved playing him. Good times.

That's hilarious, when was that ?
I was there yesterday and didn't notice that weirdo.
Very nice card room I thought (3$ chips uh).

This is wrong. Of course they have to be (at least) 1600x1200 to fit 4 tables without overlap. This laptop looks like it's WUXGA, 1920x1200.

Hi TT,

Where is he getting his internet connection from?

And what is that thing on the table by the back of his chair, and what is the thing in the middle of the table with the green and red buttons?
