Also seany, if I stack a big number of tables it shows as one program in my task bar: EG 14 PokerStars Gui so the preview thing doesn't work.

Sean ever played 20 tables ? Almost impossible on vista.

Having said that I am only doing this to clear the free moniez, i rekon that i'm done with Paddy power then unless they offer me a reload bonus. Somehow though i doubt that. ( I am still one of their top 50 players for the last 3 months though lol )

I think I'm done pokering for the month. Yeah, I'll miss my hand goal and making silverstar, but w/e.

I used to 24 table and I have Vista, runs perfectly. My computer is on the newer side but it's nothing special. I could play 24 tables with my PT3 HUD running, Winamp playing, AHK scripts and talk to people on MSN without any lag.

This was on Stars by the way.

 

[SeanyJ]

On another note I just made the money in the Million playing it for my first time. I have a pretty short stack but one double up would make it interesting.

Well this is almost a double up and I didn't even have to see a flop! I'm glad I decided to play instead of just taking the $T today

GL Jurn8 man cant believe you are at 50nl already. You'll pass me by and hit 200nl before (or if) I do!

 

[switch0723]

about to take a shot at 50nl ! 1 hour session wish me luck lol !

shame you took the unfortunate seat of being directly on my left, good job i spew like a tool so you left with profit on the table.

I folded a 3 on a 833 board to a turn raise from an utg limp by a reg today coz im a nit . Also think he has 8's full like 100% of the time to raise turn

considering i started this month not having any clue how to play this game again, its turned into a pretty swanky month

 

[switch0723]

I can also hit platinum star if i play for 10 hours in next 2 days, which i hope i can do, since if i ran at my avg $/hr id hit the 1k for the month mark

 

[SeanyJ]

How many tables are you playing? And what is your hourly if you don't mind me asking.

 

[switch0723]

I tile 9 tables usually, at a win rate of $21

Just started experimenting by tiling 16 tables on the weekends to maximise fish exposure and am winning over a MAHUSIVE sample size at $50/hr

 

[switch0723]

It really is a shame that i lose most of my profits coz of my MTT horse.

 

[Richyl2008]

Had one of those sessions... gutshotted, 2 paired, flushed! On a good note finally achieved goldstar and closing in on 40k hands for the month, which is more hands than i has played before. 50nl by next weekend if I don't get raped by variance by then.

You can't really see the pic that well, but...











Ship the SilverStahhhhhhz!

 

[zachvac]

lol I have less than 48 hour to get over 5k vpps or I lose supernova.

 

[Dwilius]

Isn't that less than two weeks at 10nl, kleitches? How many hands you getting in? Congrats on making silver and gold, Richy...now gogogo zachvac.

 

[kleitches]

Isn't that less than two weeks at 10nl, kleitches? How many hands you getting in? Congrats on making silver and gold, Richy...now gogogo zachvac.

Are you asking if I played 10nl for less than two weeks? If so, then yes I moved up to 10nl two weeks ago and the rest of the time I was at 5nl. Played about 43k hands this month, a record for me.

 

[Tygran]

lol I have less than 48 hour to get over 5k vpps or I lose supernova.

How long does that take you at your stakes? lol

 

[Dwilius]

Ok, yeah thats what I was asking, since I'm guessing 1k fpps must have come from 10nl, which is like 20-25k hands. So both of you hit highest 40k+, nice...I will be happy with 30k+ and silver next month.

 

[GeoffLacey]

****ing tournaments. ****ing hate the ****ing things. Play for 4 hours, build a nice stack, get sucked out then run top pair into a set for the rest in like 70th place. Wouldn't be so bad but being a micro tourney my return was the grand total of about $6. Sucks even worse when you're playing well and you've convinced yourself you're gonna at least final table... I always tell myself not to play the bloody things but I always do.... At least the SCOOP satellites are generally soft enough to make money...

 

[RogueRivered]

Also seany, if I stack a big number of tables it shows as one program in my task bar: EG 14 PokerStars Gui so the preview thing doesn't work.

Under Vista, just click on that 14 pokerstars in the taskbar and it will open up and then you can scroll through the tables and see the preview. The ones that need attention start blinking in case something goes wrong in the stack. That gets you back on track. At least that's the way it works on mine. I can still do 24 tables 6-max this way.

 

[SeanyJ]

Or you could right click on your task bar and go to Properties and un check "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons". Then they'll all show up seperately and you can scan over them really quickly.
