Playing multiple tables?

newbie123 · #1 05-26-2005, 07:57 PM

I have been playing for a while now and have been a consistent winner playing one table at a time. I was hoping someone would have suggestions to help me play more than one table at time. Multiple monitors? Or just maximizing and minimizing on one monitor? Have know idea were to start or what is best any suggestions would be welcome?

1600x1200 resolution lets you do 4 tables on one monitor with no overlap. 2 monitors is also an option.

Using one monitor, just increase your resolution as high as it will go... 1600x1200 is really the minimum to multi-table in my opinion.

I four-table at this resolution on one monitor and have PT and GT+ running on another...

FWIW, I wouldn't dream of trying to maxi/minimize multiple tables on one screen. You'll be timing out left and right...

I also use a prog called "4T Tray Minimizer" so that I don't have 432789 apps clogging my taskbar.

Thanks, but unfortunately I am fairly computer illiterate how would I go about doing this? I play on poker stars will that cause any problems?

If you can get at least 1280x1024 two tables is a good start. They overlap a teense but no big deal if you just want to see how it goes...

Thanks, might try the 1280x1024 first and just play two tables for a while. The 1600x1200 are fairly pricey.

If you play on stars anyway, you might want to consider trying UB. The games are similar, but UB has MiniView. It makes multitabling nice. I often play three tables at UB and maximize/minimize one or two party tables. Party's software makes me sad.

The prima skins all have miniviews, so that is another alternative. If you look at the bonuses, some of them are quite good (TGC and Golden Tiger are the 2 that come to mind first). Only problem is their cashouts are kinda sketchy...

id say their cashouts are very scary. i called today and asked why
1. i didnt have my money
2. there was no record of it leaving my account
3. where it was

and they said, while they didnt know where it was they were sure it was, and i quote, 'doing the right thing it is supposed to do'.

wtf, mate.
