Default I\'ve set a new low

I'm playing on a shitty laptop right now so i've got huge overlap.... I was playing 3 SNGs and then thought what the hell, might as well enter a multi on party cause i don't really have that much to do today.

Took me 48 hands to realize I was playing a LIMIT tourney instead of no limit.

I only had 1 hand to play during that time, I was in the SB with AQo and UTG "mini raised" and there was like 5 callers to me so I just called instead of reraising and then I folded on the flop when it missed me and still didn't realize it was a limit tourney until I tried to steal with 55 in the CO and could only raise to 100.

This beats my previous low of entering a $10 pot limit SNG a few months ago, winning, and then not realizing it until afterwards that it was pot limit because it showed up in a separate PT catagory.

I played at a 2+2 omaha table and thought it was hi/lo for like 30 mins.

what is funny is that I put that as my location this morning....before this incident happened. damn karma.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop, and I'm having serious doubts about getting a fancy schmancy 2001fp's if this is how LCD monitors work.

Ex. I turn my head about 1 inch and the screen gets darker and blurrier.

You have a very poor screen then. The 2001 is nothing like that.

I played 45 minutes of heads up stud hi/lo. Yes, 45 minutes before I realized I was actually playing stud. I still ended up winning too. I finally figured it out when I capped my 64 low against his high board for kicks and I didn't get half of my pot.

Yeah, I'll 3rd that. I hate playing on most laptops, but got a 2001fp a few weeks ago and its nothing like that. Only problem is now it makes my 19" CRT look like crap when i have games on both screens (so i'll probably dump some more $$ to get another 2001fp)

Thats pretty funny you can go that long thinking its NL... I was in a live NL game with 1,2,2 blinds, and it was 4 to open. I didn't have a limping hand for the first few hours, so the whole time I was wondering Why these idiots kept open-minraising. Pretty embarrasing to not understand why I can't come in for 2 after I've been sitting at the table for a few hours.

Well I would personally tell you to avoid the 2001fp at all costs, as I found it to be a very mediocre monitor at best; and that was before it broke down completely. At which point I had to deal with the most incompetent group of people alive from Dell.

Generally though I would never use a CRT monitor again after having LCDs.
