times i have tables across both is not annoying at all. you might have to quickly resize one if you are bringing it from one to the other but its just not a big deal imo.

Cuz you have to deposit every so often to keep the ability to cash out with echecks. And depositing is what usually gets people's bank accounts closed. Thats my reason at least

just epically self-owned myself
i have(had) two pokerstars accounts. one, which hasn't been used since i played play money, and the account i currently play on, which i've played on exclusively for the past couple years. i emailed support asking about my main account... from my old account's email address...
they closed my old account, which is cool because i had forgotten it existed

i replied in other thread...i do the same thing as stratocast...u really don't want to spread tables over two monitors if you can help it...will hurt your neck...better to make tables smaller.

if you get placemint or Table of Interest, it will size all the tables the same for you.

I had a 22 and a 20. Didn't bother me a bit. 6 on one, 4 on the other. Did hurt my neck though.

Now I've got the 30" and 20", and just use the 30" to play and keep the lobby and whatnot over on the other.

Just get a 30inch monitor. I had 2 24s for a while but when I went out to vegas a couple years ago I didn't want to deal with shipping both of them out there and back so I just bought a 30 and had it sent to the house out there. When I got back I gave away one of my 24s and almost never use the other one even though I have a dual setup.

The biggest problem with having 2 large monitors isn't neck strain like everyone says, it's eye fatigue. My eyes were always destroyed by the end of the day when I use 2 monitors, now it's hardly a problem.

How much are decent 30s these days? Back when I was looking to get one they were like 1k+

It really is not much protection and balance as far as i understand it.* Like the reason to buy gold really is to avoaid the value of you investmenst goign to zero.* But a better option is to jsut buy threasury bonds for that purpose. Yes in theary the US government could default and you bonds would be worth nothing. But if the US government defualts we are kinda skrewed any way. Anyway it seems like trying to predict the movement of the gold mrket is a poor use of your money.

Reduce brightness imo.

Anyone ever have a session where you're running like aids, getting set over set, coolered left and right pf and postflop, then you check results scared to see how much your're down and you're up 2 buy ins and +800 in ev????

Well, I have just now
This month is going well

I just tried switched from 12 tabling (smallest tables) on 1 24" to 12 tabling (almost default size tables, 6 on each) on 2 24"s and it's hard as ****. It was so simple staring at one screen but now I have to look back and forth and i'm timing out all over the place . Do I just have to get used to it?

Would you guys recommend trying to get used to having larger tables spread out over 2 tables, or stick to smaller ones kept all on one monitor? Which setup do you guys prefer?
Thanks, it'd be really helpful if I got some opinions on this.

One of the mistakes that a lot of players make is to put too much stock in the absolute value (as opposed to the relative value) of their hands. In this case, you say you don't think that you "could fold to the flop c/r". However, I would suggest that might be because you are only considering the absolute value of your hand - when in fact, relative value is the only thing that matters.

If you don't think that you could/should fold to the flop c/r, then you have to believe that either (a) I am bluffing with a high enough frequency or (b) that my range of value hands that I am check raising there is worse than AT. I think that if you think of it in those terms, you would realize that in fact, it is not that difficult of a fold on the flop.

I hope that helps.

Samo, could you take a look at my post on the bluefire forums in your 200nl vid series thread?

every 6 months or so you have to make another deposit via echeck method. it's really gay and really annoying how theres no warning/information about it. or at least i haven't read any.




did anyone notice on PTR you can't search for "top losers" anymore ? or am i blind

ya I just assumed you had to make this deposit every 6 months but it's not a big deal if you have to deposit $25 or something miniscule to withdraw much more than that.

Might get some laughs here but I can't figure out how to change my avatar on Stars because I am stupid. Help me?
05-09-2010 , 04:02 PM
i guess just do the reload bonuses and all should be fine then?
05-09-2010 , 04:11 PM
You also have to redeposit with debit cards (for Euros obv). So gay when you can't cash out until you despot the minimum on your card.
