I like the yellow highlighted effect seen on some of the Poker vids, which I think is part of the recording software; Camtasia Studio? Is there anything like this available for general use?
Anyone?

go to the mouse thingy in the control panel and go to the pointers tab, you can choose a bunch of pointers there (and download new ones from google)

Am I the only 24 tabler who plays stacked on 15'inch laptop with Only PT2/PAHUD?

I've never used any scripts, nor ever thought. I've done 40+ sngs multiple times at once, but since stupid 24 table limit for cash, thats all I can do.

I have a wc3 backround which includes lots of fast clicking which might make it seem easier to me.

ok I'm curious, what's magical about 24? Why do so many people do 24 and not many do any more? I understand there's an upper limit for everyone, but 24 can't be the upper limit for everyone. There's no one that can add that extra table to 25? Or is it just that Stars limits to 24? Just heard 24 so many times and haven't seen anyone do more. Kinda curious.

Stars's limit is 24

Wonder why, the more people play the more rake PS makes the more money they make. Do they hate money?

You ever consider using another site? Like say you do 24 on stars and then another 8 on full tilt?

if they had 30 regulars 40 tabling all levels all the time no one would want to play because every hand would take longer than live games full of drunk jawers

does anyone else have the problem of compulsively checking their balance in the cashier during their sessions?

Yeah, I think 12 ==> 24 was a mistake, and if they add more tables, it will be a drama for the fishes and the no-regulars.

nearly all of those 2nd and 3rd order stats are not great to use in isolation
they will vary alot depending on VPIP/PFR/AF

for instance, someone with a lower PFR is more likely to have a higher c-bet flop as they have a tighter, higher quality initial range that is more robust no matter the flop
I see some real utility in having a new thread discussing and dissecting every pokertracker statistic available.


Thoughts people?

I honestly don't get how you AREN'T seeing the difference.

If I have 24 tables on Stars open and my menu-bar on the bottom in just says "26 Pokerstars" or whatever and combines them all into one because I have so many.
26 is for 24 tables plus the main-lobby plus the hand-history window.

When I switch it over to the side there is enough room to list each table individually which makes things much easier if I'm trying to find one specifically to see if I'm on a table with my favorite fish already or something.

It's way better and it's way different and it's a really nice tip from this thread.
I don't know how your computer works when you open 24 Stars tables and have the menu bar at the bottom but it seems like many others have the same 25 or 26 Pokerstars thing or whatever that is solved by switching the menu-bar to the side.

Yeah, I know how to do it- was just wondering if others used any special pointers. I guess not though. Cheers anyway.

mouse moving was bothering me

oh yeah, I'm looking into timeout helper, but am afraid the looping will use more resources than I want it to use
excellent, ty!

I keep the task bar at the bottom of the screen. If you increase the size (drag up by one), you can view all the tables like you would if you had moved it to the side of the monitor.

i do this. i set little milestones BR goals and check how close i am. bad habit.
and i check my vpps every hour for the 100k milestones. lol

afaik the 'moving the taskbar to the side' tip is the best one ITT. u can see the whole name of the table as opposed to just the first letter.

you can always ungroup similar windows and it will have an individual window at the bottom
of course, it still will not display the whole table name like it does along the side

Seriously...MB lol. there is no difference. just don't "group similar task bar" buttons...

maybe that's what i'm not understanding. somehow when you move the windows menu bar to the sidebar, it automatically unchecks "group similar task bar" for you or something?

i dunno, really no difference unless you're specifically searching by table name versus flashing high lighted action.

Quick question


I'm curious to know what kind of bankroll you provide yourself when your playing multi-tables?


50-100BB's per table?


so if your playing 10 tables

500-1000 BB's?


And how likely is it for you to be running bad on the majority of the tables your playing?

Say your playing 10 tables, what are the chances you are running bad on like 6-8 tables?

Thanks

Bankroll requirements are the same whether playing 1 table or 24. All playing more tables does is accelerate the process to the long run. It does not affect your ROR (risk of ruin). This is based on the assumption that you are not playing so many tables that your play is drastically affected.

edit: re: the bankroll requirements themselves, see the FAQ as its off topic for this thread. Its generally expressed in buyins in NL, not BB, and broadly speaking, 20 is a bare minimum suggestion.

hudge difference. its also eye level w the action buttons. if u 24 tabled for hours on end, much easier on the eyes.

I personally just do one stack of 24. I have tried other variations such as 4 stacks of 6 tables. Basically they are just various shades of gray in between tiling and stacking i.e., The more stacks you use, the more tables you can keep an eye on, a benefit of tiling. However you lose some of the benefits of stacking (less mouse movement/eye movement). Its personal preference.
