How do you play on multiple clients at a time?
I have a few and you can only have one open at a time.
When I jump from one to another, I see the same names though.
?

You can play on different computer with a different client

Okay, thanks.

Just so I understand, though: If I have a pc and a laptop, I can play from the same connection on 2 different sites? Doesn't matter that the IP is the same?

i play on one PC on multiple clients at a time and i dont need other computer, for example i play on WH, party poker and betsafe at a time and i dont have any problem
if your PC is strong enough to support multiple clients at a time you shouldnt have any problem
and you know that it is not possible to open two clients from the same network at a time (example 770 and WH)

That's what I mean though..

I go from one Ipoker site to another within minutes and I see 3 or 4 of the same names playing the same games at the same limits. How is that possible?

As far as I understand it, different clients use the same network (and therefore some of the same games) which is why you can only run one client at a time on one PC (although there are ways around this).

So some of the games on one client are exactly the same games as you can find on another client and you can use either client to access the game on the network. The reason why you can see the same names is because your client nickname is actually an iPoker nickname.

Essentially, if you have two client nicknames then you have two iPoker network nicknames, but the network doesn't care about what client you use to access it. The game is the same game regardless of what client you are on - the nicknames you see could be using a different client to you and you can access the game using whatever client you wish.
