i was thinking of getting one that has 3 screens and multitabling 1/2.i normally play 5/10 but it is getting quite stressful.and if i were to go bonus whoring when i have these screens i reckon i could make a fortune as the bonus would clear so easy.has anybody done nething like this succesfully?

I'm pretty sure that is impossible.

Depends what you mean by "is this possible?". if it's simply multi-monitirs, that's easy: You do this by using a video card that suppors multiple monitors. I have one htat allows up to 4 monitors: The Colorgraphic Xenetra GT, They're pricey, though: upwards of $400. But I can now multitable at least 2 different sites.

Multiple video cards also works.

5/10 to 1/2? That's quite a drop.

I find dropping too far is actually worse and can screw up your game.

You should at least try 2/4.

True, but there can be configuration issues.

The technical part should be pretty easy. Just make sure that you have enough processing power to actually run three monitors and a video card that supports 2+ monitors.

Beware that if you have no experience playing 8/12 tables, it will probably take some time before you can (some people can't play 10+ tables). Also, heavy multitabeling tend to be stressfull.

I've no doubt that multi-tabling is a skill onto itself. I've improved to the point where I feel three shorthanded games at one time is just as lucrative for me as one or two. But it took time and practise. I commend those who can do more at a time. I strongly recommend humility in these regards. Some good poker players aren't built to multi-table. Some bad players may play more disciplined with a few extra tables. In multi-tabling everything is extreme...the rush...and the tilt.
