Hey guys!

I picked up a Gateway 23" touchscreen all in one computer and am hoping I can handle more tables. With a trade-in of your old computer, you can pick it up for $1099 less $100 trade in rebate.

Currently I play 5 to 7 tables on my 17" laptop with the touchpad and cannot handle more than that. I play Omaha hi-lo and think the hi-lo aspect forces me to think a little longer on the hand. I cascade the tables because moving around with the touchpad is kinda slow and awkwark and I've got nowhere to use a mouse while I'm sprawled out on the couch eating popcorn and watching TV.

I'm hoping the bigger screen and the touch aspect can help me do nine tables and reduce hours of play. (also cut out the TV and popcorn)

Does anybody play online Poker on a touchscreen computer? Do you have any tips? Tiling vs. Cascading. Sng or Cash tables? Do your arms get really tired? Do you have huge muscles in your wrists now. Do you use 2 or 3 monitors instead of one?

Also, this computer has Windows Seven and not Vista. Is there any advantages with Seven related to poker?

I think a touch screen would be hard on your arms.

Did not know that even existed,lol


I am thinking of going to 2 or 3 screens, just a thought and I really don't have the room but something I am throwing around.

I play with my laptop and a second monitor in my room. I cant play in front of a TV, let alone multitable omaha hi/lo while lounging like you describe...

Well yeah... I'm sure it would for a while. Think of the exercise!

Best way to multi-table is:

Big ass monitor
High quality mouse
Keyboard w/ a number pad.

I would think a touchpad would slow down the game. Let us know how it goes.

I still like my xBox controller for multitabling

Agreed. It slows things down a lot although I've gotten pretty good at it. I still hate it when the tables start beeping at me.

I am hoping to try and use 2 hands on the screen and see how that goes.... and then maybe get a second monitor. then... toes? lol

JohnnieH

I'm surprised you don't have an app for your iPhone.

There's an app for that.
I just like the controller better.

I would think its like the wii, fun and cool at first, but after a while you just want to go back to a regular controller.

First attempt... failure, sort of. I tiled 4 tables in some penny games and kind of fumbled at the little check boxes. My hands aren't chubby either. My goal for nine tabling seems distant, but i'm not going to give up this experiment yet.

I'm starting to think that some kind of stylus pen that absorbs my body temp. (or a heated pen if they exist), would work a lot better. A round tipped thimble even. I need to pinpoint my taps more effectively in quick and consistent pattern.

The quest continues...

leafster99

Ok, here goes nothing. LOL

Is there such a thing that I can use for an iPod Touch? My Palm PDA suddenly died on me, but I hate constantly mistyping text on the iPod, so I have gone back to the old-fashioned way of recording my important information with only pen and paper!
