Re: Screen layout for multiple tables?
[ QUOTE ]
How do you play more than 3 tables at FTP without freeze-ups, yellow screen of death and redrawn screens slooowly from top to bottom? BTW, I have switched to classic view, I set priority to high, I run PT with 1 min updates, I use PostSQR database, I run PokerAce HUD, no other programs open except some anti-virus stuff and MOLASSES on 3 or more tables. [/ QUOTE ] Switching to classic theme did help me a lot but you have already done that. Its an ongoing problem for lots of people. And from what I have read in the Zoo, even people with dual core, 2 gig ram yada yada are having issues. The only workable solution I have found (and I know it sucks). No HUD, No PT (manually import after the session), No MSN, No anything basically. All I run besides the client is winamp and a script. This allows me to 12 table with minimal lag. And FWIW, my computer is very old, 1ghz, 500ram.

Re: Screen layout for multiple tables?
wow, ft support rules! i've got two replies within one hour.
unfortunately, they were not the answers i wanted... what they say is that it is not possible to change the way tables pop up when a new hand starts, even if you are the last to act on that table. it is a feature embedded in the system. the only way to deal with it is to click on a pre-act option (fold, call, call any) to speed up the process. you can't remove the steal-focus effect.

Re: Screen layout for multiple tables?
I've never tried stacking. The biggest con I see about that is that you don't know anything about the tables. When I play (1 monitor, 1600x1200, 6-10 tables, lots of overlap) I remember the table's history by where on the screen it is. IE on the upper-right table the guy to my left has 3bet me a ton, on the midupper table I've been caught bluffing a ton etc. The table-positions are more important when remembering history than the ptstats/nicks for me often. I imagine that is alot more difficult when stacking.
Party has a button on every table that algins all the tables on top of each other. I sometimes press it by mistake and I tend to end the session if I do because the tables are now out of order and I mix them up.

Re: Screen layout for multiple tables?
I have a 30" monitor and minimize the tables slightly to only have a tiny bit of overlap but can still see all the action. I prefer this to stacking because I can go ahead and preselect action at some tables which gives me more time to focus on the tables where I have decisions.
I usually just run 9 tables which leaves the tables easily visible. If I run 12 tables I usually just increase the overlap where I can still see my hole cards but not the entire table. Then I have a 21" monitor beside the 30 that I use for 2+2, AIM etc. I've tried stacking the tables but I do better with reads when the tables are all in different positions.

Re: Screen layout for multiple tables?
I just tried stacking for 6K hands yesterday and found that I really liked it. The main advantage is that you get way less mileage on your cursor and there's less stress on your mouse hand. I know it sounds silly but if you're playing a ton of hands any help adds up quickly. I like to pull games out of the stack when I'm all in so that I can see wtf happens [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
