Whats your online poker set up Laptop/Desktop??

Just curious what is everyone's setup. I use both whenever my parents need to use my desktop to print but i cant get use to the tiny screen on the laptop or the controls of the mouse (too lazy to go and get another cordless usb mopuse) So im curious whats everyone's setup and if you use 2 screens?? A Special type of computer chair?? (thinking about getting a more comfy one because i use a wooden school chair and i tend to cramp up after two hours.

I use my 15.4 laptop, but I don't really multi table, at most will be playing a STT and a MTT at the same time. Usually play laying or sitting in bed as my laptop is setup in front of my bed and is pretty much my TV also.

atm moment I have 19inch monitor but looking to get two 22s or 24s very soon, just standard desk and chair atm also want a better mouse

same here also thinking about getting one of those programs where you can watch tv on your Computer so i dont have to keep my head turned to watch tv as i play.. But im factoring these into my bankroll for when i win a big tournament. Treating my setup like a business ill renovate when i make enough profit

2 x 17" laptop & a 15" laptop & one extra Dell monitor, cordless keypad & real nice puter chair.

If I had it to do over again.... would go for one decent tower and two 22" monitors (and also what I will eventually go for... along with new leather recliner with monitors mounted off pole hanging from the ceiling, with ability to set them up both for the one chair &/or set up for an adjoining recliner as well (saw this one guy's set up... was something like this...super nice!!). A set up that would be condusive for multi-tabling MTTs for 10-12 hr. stretches (note... chair with built-in catheter attachment 'or' hand GatorAid bottles.... also mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot & water cooler/dispenser). Might have to final table the $750K prior to this set up.. lol.

For me its a 15.4 Dell Inspiron Laptop, wireless.

About 75% of the time on my 15.4 laptop - it's actually really good for multi tabling if you feel like laying down after a while or sitting back on the couch. The other 25% of the time on a 19" desktop.

go with the laptop just for mobility alone during a sesion, if u have to get up and move around the house. I started with a desktop then got a 17" dell laptop now i sit on the couch can watch tv, go to kitchen for drink and snack or move to a more comfortable spot..............and the big one , it goes in the bathroom when i need to, lmao...............what is that wrong? well I needed the break one time, came back and saw i was dealt A/A and was sitting out. so now that puppy goes where i go.

Currently playing on my 13" macbook air...can comfortably multi-table 6-8 while stacked with HUD. Gets the job done, but I would like an upgrade at some stage during the year to make things a little easier if I turn out to be a winning player.

The goal is to get a 24" monitor + 27" imac sometime during the year and swap over to playing on that.

got a new 22 inch screen for my desktop and also a comfy chair which is important!

My own Desktop - 4gig RAM, 24" HD LCD, comfy chair and headphones. Wife brings beer.

Laptop definately the way to go for the same reasons. Nothing like playing poker on the crapper. I've even played while taking a shower. With the computer outside the shower of course.

However we just got a new Imac with a 27 inch screen. Thats fun to play on too. Course limited with the sites that work with a mac though.

I use my labtop with a cordless mouse so I usually lay in bed and play while my labtops on the desk in front of me. Great set up.

Desktop, 19" monitor and the comfiest office chair I could find. Also happened to be the most expensive one in the store, which is typical, innit...

Use my 17" laptop, hooked up to my 46" Sony TV. I then extend the display from the laptop to the TV using the laptop software. I end up with 2 displays, usually use the laptop for computer stuff and the 46" TV/Monitor to display the poker room. Also use both for 2 games. Adavantage is big screen poker game. I wish I had picture in picture that would allow poker in 1 screen and tv broadcast in the other. Couch/recliner is a must for those 4-5 hr MTT's.

lapptop and a cordless mouse.

i have my desktop hooked up to my 60 inch tv so that i can lounge on the couch while i play. lazy, yes. but it's better than playing uncomforable.

Amen brotha

When you hit a two outer on the river you'll be like HOLY CRAP!!! *plop.*

Laptops ftw!

Desktop, 24'' screen with 1920x1200 resolution and a vertical mouse to decrease stress on the forearm.

I have my dell laptop set up along with a 28" monitor. Works well for 9 on the screen and 2 on the lap top. Mind you i don not do this often. Usually just 3 or 4 private tourneys on the sceen and 1 cash on the laptop.

Belgo what a marvelous mouse! Makes so much sense ergonomically.

Where in the (literal) world did you find that? Brand name? Cost? Availability?

Did adjusting to the vertical position take a while, or occur almost immediately?

Vanquish recommended it, if i recall correctly.

Got it here: http://www.evoluent.com

It's not exactly cheap.

It took a while to adjust, actually. For the first 2 weeks are so I actually had both this one and my old mouse plugged in and I would switch between the two. Now i only use the vertical one and I'm considering buying another one to bring it to my work place.

Thank you so much. Merci bien . I checked the source you provided and will likely purchase the model you have.

I usually use a desktop. When the kids run me off, I go to my laptop. I plug it in to be faster, but still can't get registered to the full tilt 180's much.

I have a very fast desktop with 7Mb/s Internet, and I still have trouble getting into the free 180's on tilt. Your response time for that is about half a second - and that's if you're paying attention.

I've got one sitting in my desk drawer. Never quite got the hang of it myself.

I've got my macbook hooked up to an old projector on my wall. There's nothing quite like a 10ft screen for multi tabling. I'll shoot a picture one of these days. Lot's of fun.

wow Po, be sure to post some pics if you do

For me I just have a standard tower p.c in the corner of the living room facing the wall This way I dont get tempted to watch the t.v thats right behind me. I have also learned to blank it out whilst I'm playing. Actually I dont think I could play in total silence.Im also not that good at multitabling at the moment, so I wont be buying a bigger monitor until I'm at that level.

If you always play for long hrs. i suggest keep ur wooden chair, as 2 comfy will make you fall asleep. start doing stupid action

I have a lazyboy and a wireless mouse and key board with a 22" montor next to my tv.I love it

Good to know. I take my Macbook Pro in the bathroom sometimes during tournaments. Have a small crate that I can place in front to put the laptop on haha.

I use a desktop with a 24 inch monitor and a rocker/recliner as a computer chair. I hope to get a laptop soon.

The Chair
The Chair The Chair
You must be comfortable for long periods of time and the chair beleive it or not is very important to your game.

If you are comfortable enough in your chair that you can fall asleep with ease, you have found a winner.



24" LCD works for me.

I wish i had both. but its really funny how ppl are talking about being on the crapper, bc I am right now
