help with aches from Multitabling
 

Hi

This past week i decided to play alot more poker than I usually do online. 5000+ hands 6 tabling a day.

Now i have noticed that my forearm aches. I believe this is referred to as Carpel Tunnel?

Can anyone suggest ways for me to stop this from happening? Ive thought of using my left arm once in a while.

Ergonomic chair might help. Also look at a support glove.

get a mouse pad with a cushion where your wrist is and also make sure you are not pressing your arm down on the table when playing. This is usually around the forearm area and stops bloodflow to your hand.

Try to use your left hand when playing fewer tables

This is sick. I registered four months after the rat and I already have twice the posts.

But I noticed one guy who joined around three days ago and he already had about four hundred posts. Does he have a life? Do I for that matter?

Ok cool, thanks for the advice.

I always had my arm pushed on table. I just tried holding my mouse without my arm no table, 5 secs, could tell that wouldnt work for me already haha. Mouse closer to edge i guess.

Looks like I need to invest in a better mouse (with cushion).

ahhh turns out work has one ofthose mouse pads with cushion.

Some special gel in it or some crap. Alright im all set to multitable :-)

That would be polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). It is also used in microfluidic devices and as a food additive. I'm using it in my research project to build a test structure to measure the electrical properties of a self-assembled monolayer of alkanethiol molecules. It's versatile stuff.
