Multitabling on a laptop

If anyone else does this, what way do you suggest?

I play 6 tables at once, I stack them all in the top left corner filling 1/4 of the screen. If I'm getting involved in a hand, I move the table to the other side of the screen so it doesn't get hidden, after the hand I move it back.

This is the best way I have found, but any other tips would be appreciated.

Up to 4 tables then I just tend to tile overlapping over the whole screen - only have small laptop, but this means I can see pretty much most of what's going on on all the tables.

More than this and I'll just stack them and use Table Ninja to deal with them as they pop up.

Not sure I'd be able to cope with moving windows around while trying to make decisions on other tables.

Up to 12 tiled, stars brings them to the fornt for me when my mouse goes over.

I do 8 tiled but struggle to fit more on.

But thats a great idea OP. I originally liked stacking but often lose what was going on with a specific table.

I stack all tables on my laptop (why watching bad beats or any race results (dont really matter, if you make solid decisions), only in case of deep tourneys i move sometimes a table to the side.

I would do this if sometimes you didnt lose track of important hands, for example forgetting who the pre-flop raiser was. Tbh I forget even when Im tiled so stacking would be a minefield.

But yes as you say watching the results are not important.

Watching results is VERY important in my opinion. How can you assess your own play without the feedback from the end result? Plus, i want to see what he called with/mucked so i can piece together how he plays. This is very beneficial when in a pot with him again.

You assess your play at the end of the session. Thats why I have the cards flipped over immediately on cash so I can see what he has and then move on, I dont care what the outcome is. Especially cos anyone good enough to use the information would look at the HH to see what you had.

But surely assessing the hand after the session isn't as good as assessing it there and then at the tables, whilst you're still playing with him.

Do you mean shoving all in?

As in when we are all-in the cards get flipped like in tournaments, that way I can see what he has and move my attention to another table.

You cant really do a full assessment of a hand while you are playing so many tables.

Results Orientated FTW.

Buy another monitor and plug it into your laptop, you'll never look back

+1; As a 6m guy though going over 4 tables was never really super fun for me personally; i felt doing 6 was ok but not as optimal. If its FR it has be 6+ or it would be unbearable

hi cafe :wavey:

I really like using my external monitor, but I was comfortably 8-tabling and occasionally 10-tabling on a 13in laptop screen for quite a while.

My personal preference was to use an overlapping tile setup (2 rows, 4 or 5 tables per row). I find that having each table associated with a geographical location on my screen helps me keep track of action, reads, and helps me keep more focused when I'm involved in multiple hands. For me, stacking ends up feeling like constant distraction when things pop up on top of each other.
