Multitabling on Sky

Slykllist

I'm looking for some advice, I'm going to be spending some money on my poker setup with a view to having something alot more suitable for multi-tabling than my current laptop on my knee sat on the sofa using the laptop mousepad.  Pretty sure this is -VE

My question is... on Sky is the only way to 'tile' tables by using mini view as full size tables are not resizeable?

Will a 24" monitor make a big difference to my multi-table experience?

Yes full sized tables aren't resizable yet. Mini view is great once you get used to it. It took me a while to adjust from using full sized to mini view but once you've been using it a week or so it's great.

A 24" monitor is a decent sized one to go for.

How many tables do you play though ?

Are you wanting to increase the ammount ?

If you're wanting to play more than say nine tables you're probably better getting two monitors.

I'd also recommend getting a proper PC rather than using a laptop, you will get alot more power for your money.

For what it is worth, if you can run to two monitors, it really helps, which is what I do in the Office, though I cope at home easily with just one, a lappie.

Most I play at the moment is 3 as I've not been able to get on with mini view when I've tried it.

I really want to get up to playing six pretty quickly.

I've been reading a little about the setups some of the pro's use and there doesn't seem to be alot of consitency.  I figured if I start with a single 24" monitor I can then add a 2nd monitor later (a tall, thin one) if I felt I needed it.

Does that seem sensible?

Laptop grinding really isn't ideal.  I can't play on my laptop anymore....well maybe 1/2 tables.

You should be able to fit between 9-12 on mini view.  4 with some overlap on full screen!

Would be nice if the software could understand dual outputs rather than when you press tile your whole life comes crumbling down around you as they stack themselves at the side of the screen. so tilt

I smash my face into the keyboard when this happens. Its basically a self destruct button. It tiles it in a way that no sane person would ever use.

I struggle with nine, I have the beep on when action is on you and it drives me mad ) beepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeepbeepbeeep
