I tried to play more than 8 tables
 

My normal setup is 2 20inch monitors and 8 tables.

After the new Starsupdate I played 18 tables for fun but that was not serious.

Today I tried to figure out how many tables make sense for me. If you play more than 8 tables at Stars and you want to see them all you have to resize them. 10 tables doesnt make sense so you have to play 6 tables at each monitor. The tables are a lot smaller now. In my opinion to small to play this setup for a couple of hours.

After that I tried to cascade the tables with the option: "Popup table whenever user action is required."

I played 14 6.4$ turbos. The speed is not the problem but I didnt like it when you dont see the whole action.

I didnt like that setup either.

If you play more than 8 tables how do you do it?

I think about a third monitor or a real big one.

10-12 tables on 3 monitors should be ok.

Re: I tried to play more than 8 tables
 

It depends on the resolution of your monitors. I can get 8 tables without overlap on my 2 monitors if I want.

Edit: I've never resized tables, so I don't really know much about that.

4 in each corner, or cascaded. Having them in each corner is maybe a little better because I can see a bit more action but it doesn't really matter I don't think.

why not just 2943878739048 table on 902348239003894 monitors?

cause that'd be too hard spreading that few of tables over that many monitors

What's preventing you from seeing the action? The action on the current street is easy to figure out, but recalling the previous street requires some short-term memorization. I don't advise cascading with this.

No the question was how to play more than 8 tables.

Somebody do this?

When you fold, you likely dont see that table again until it is your turn to act again. This means you miss out on picking up reads on your opponents.

I play 12 and my setup is laptop + 2 additional monitors. 4 on each of course.
