Which device is the best choice for playing poker?

vnonline · Jun 24, 2014

I played poker on mobile, tablet and laptop. I realized that playing poker also depends on device which I choose to play.
With mobile and tablet, I'm really "lazy" when playing poker because I usually lay in bed and it makes me feel sleepy lol.
On laptop, oh damn! I got ache on my back for sitting too long.
Do you have any ideas for me to choose the suitable device?
And Which one is your favorite ?

I play on my laptop occasionally (when I'm travelling, for example) but the best setup is easily the desktop PC: bigger and better screen, proper mouse and keyboard, better ergonomics, don't have to worry about battery life...

Get a proper chair problem solved but a desktop setup offers more upgrades better sound bigger screen ect…

I play on my laptop,so that i can go to the kitchen or the bathroom without seeting out from the tournaments.
I dont like to play on the phone the screen is too small.

I usually play on my desktop, sometimes on my laptop, few times on my tablet .
If it's a nice tournament where i need to concentrate and found all the info on my appoinement on HM2, i have to play on my desktop.
Tablet for poker is really just when i m tired , before sleeping...

Thank you guys for your comments, it seems people like to play on laptop and desktop. Big is better right? lol

At home I play mostly from the desktop you can open multiple tables which don't do on mobile devices. But if you're not at home and on the road, the Smartphone or tablet you will be useful.

Hi! I used to play for the PC, I can sit sitting for days at a given time convenient to eat and drink tea. Do not play lying, lying just need to sleep, because I see lying and generally fall asleep later and can be difficult to sleep.

Laptop always does the trick for me.
Need to get food during tournament can take it with me to kitchen etc

The laptop is about the best way to go at least you know your software and client will work. You also dont have to feel the charger rubbing on you like with cell or tablet. I dont know if you can take screenshots on a tablet?

and don't have to worry about eyes going bad quite so quick

Desktop would be best as it would be the most comfortable for playing. Although if you dont want to sit with a laptop to play, you can play on your phone, there are a lot of good mobile poker Apps too. Good luck!

I do not think that laptop beech better because laptop battery is always hotter. Suppose when my brother fell asleep while lying on it laptop and after a while the battery heated to such an extent that burned feet

WivanW · Jun 26, 2014

PS. But what practical laptop I do not argue

when you need to take device to restroom.
you will feel Laptop is far far better than PC.

PS: I still prefer PC, cos laptop's power and function is not as good as PC. unless using gaming laptop.

I like to play on desktop cause i like multitabling. then again i like mobile on the go to play wherever im at. like if im waiting in the mall letting the wife and kids shop

I use my pc, don't have a laptop and only play at home.
On the plus side of this, my keyboard and mouse are wireless and my pc is connected to my 42" lcd screen for easy viewing.
No need to squint over a tiny laptop screen when I can sit in comfort on my sofa or chair.
Easier on the eyes too.

pokieman04 · Jun 29, 2014

I feel like the laptop is the best, big screen can play more games, just over all a lot more comfortable

tried googling the problem and all i get is non-sense.
would you know how to connect that?

PC is the best for me cos I have my personal theme that I like to you which cannt be done on my ipad. Sometimes I just prefer to sit on my bed with Ipad so it depends also.

ILIKEFISH31 · Jul 3, 2014

Yeah, I use a high end laptop with a ton of RAM and a huge HDD. It's absolutely ideal for poker.

ThomasDelgado · Aug 19, 2014

I like to play games online, but I don't like to play poker on mobile or any other device. I like playing poker on my PC or laptop only.

PokerFunKid · Aug 22, 2014

Exactly what you say - on your mobile you get lazy and sleepy. I use my computer and find a comfortable spot to sit and take a break every hour. If you don't feel well (headache) i suggest to take a break. You don't want to play poker when you dont feel OK.
