Re: Strategies for 24-tabling with a crappy 1280 x 1024 monitor?
[ QUOTE ]
Here's my old set-up; 2 x 30" + 1 x 24" (I now have 3 x 30") To be honest, if you're good enough to make money playing that many tables then there's no reason not to purchase at least two 30" monitors. They pay for themselves. http://bp2.blogger.com/_4PaNfrrYgQg/RnRq...er+Set+Up+1.JPG [/ QUOTE ] That is awesome! I'm not sure where I appreciate the new 24 table thing, there are players that are really slowing the games down with it now and I'm starting to get a little tilty at it =p Not really, but still, people seem to be overestimating their abilities to navigate 24 tables at once. As for the original poster, you definitely need two screens. Stacking on one is an option, but for me you give up so much valuable information, and you miss important details in hands. I remember when I was trialling it for a while there were a few hands where I lost count of how many players to a flop and it cost me dearly. example: 3-bet AK on the button, thought I was heads-up with a shorty, missed flop but checked to me so I shoved, missing the full stack in the blinds who'd flat called with aces =p You also miss out on crucial big pots and observing what players are stacking off with.

Re: Strategies for 24-tabling with a crappy 1280 x 1024 monitor?
man i can't imagine stacking tables. i 16 table on ftp and put 12 on my 24 inch monitor and 4 on my 20 on the right. the reason is my 20 is an older model (still flat panel) and is a little dimmer. it's also a little off to the side, so the bigger tables make it easier for me.
how much are 30" monitors going for these days?

Dell has a 30" for $1161 right now. Seriously thinking of ordering one right now. Or two. Or three. hmm...

[/ QUOTE ] Check Ebay. I bought my last two brand new from there cheaper than you can get direct from Dell.

Overlap is not overrated at all. Being able to see everything gives you more info than only seeing when it's your turn to act. [/ QUOTE ] This is a very good point.

How many tables do you play, SmartMoney? What do you think about having 3 30"'s rotated so your space is 2560 tall by 4800 wide? I think you could fit 24 full size tables that way, no?

Make and save a custom cascade layout that fits in your monitor's space.
