Default Playing 4 tables

Hi There,

Can someone help me setup my screen to be able to view 4 tables, I am using a laptop and Iam playing on full tilt.
If I manually make them smaller, I have trouble seeing the cards, is there a good resolution to use?
Any suggestions would be apreciated.


Thanks

Ive noticed this too on FTP. If like me you have a 15" widescreen on 1280x1024, to tile 4 tables makes them all quite small. But theres not much you do except live with it, unless you want your tables to overlap


:P

Yeah we have a 17" screen on the desktop monitor and even it has a hard time fitting 4 tables using the tile option.

My 4 tables just overlap, I spread them as close to the corners as I can

Same thing here. My 4 tables overlap some, but it doesn't really matter, you can still see what's going on, enough at least. Gotta have that "auto pop-up action"-thingey has to be turned on so that the tables come up when it's your turn.

actually, my friend plays up to 10 tables at a time without the popup. he simply clicks whichever one when he needs to on pstars. but on FTP theres no option for that and he hates it.

Wow that sounds great, thanks for all the feedback.
The main reason I was asking was that when I am on a site that titles the tables my "poker office" software overlay doesn't work very well and it's frustrating trying to figure out which player I need to concentrate on.

I really don't like the overlap especially when I am involved in 2 hands at once and I lose concentration on who raised or how many are in the hand.......

Thanks again,
