Playing poker and a text sim at the same time

[GoldenEagle]

Has anyone mastered this feat? I can not do it, as I have to have full concentraion on one or the other. I wish I could do it, as I could get profit and fun at the same time.

[Ramzavail]

its impossible...you lose money or recruit poorly.

pick your poison.

[cthomer5000]

use the force.

[cthomer5000]

the downside is i think i've given myself ADD. I almost have to be strapped in to watch TV.

[GoldenEagle]

Very impressive.

Jorg is going to be an awesome run stopper

He is also jamming to some tunes and up keeping a spread sheet.

You usually play 3 tables at the same time? I would imagine this took a long time to practice. I would guess it keeps you tight, as you arent playing just any 2 cards, cause you might have a better hand somewhere else?

Oh yeah. I've got this sort of 'Bill Parcells' dynasty where I abandon a team the second I win a title. When I took over Green Bay, I also decided to just gut the roster. I cut literally every single player (traded anyone with any talent), and fielded 53 new guys.

I drafted a very good QB at the top of the class, snagged Jorg in the 2nd round (Defensive rookie of the year), and grabbed a weird-looking RB in the 3rd round (2,000 yards and O.Roy). We made the conference finals in year 1 (with 53 new players).

I guess it just means the game is too damn easy.

edit: and I gave all of my first draft class the nickname '77' (2077), so that i could easily track them once they're off my squad. Hence the 77 between his first and last name.

I usually play 3-4 tables, but only 2 if I'm watching TV (I have to drop the screen resolution for the TV tuner to work, so I can't fit 3+ tables easily).

I do feel that it does make it easier to play well. You're not as tempted to play borderline hands when 3 more are being dealt at the same time.

This time of night I play 4 for as long as possible (I'm wrapping it up right now). The daytime is much tougher., but at night people are practically handing their money over.

Or just a really good gameplan would be my guess

I play 4 tables at a time, usually, but the stakes are no more than $.05/$.10 at each. It keeps me occupied.

[cthomer5000]

one last thing - definitely gotta go with the 4-color deck if multi-tabling. I made a couple pricey errors before I figured that out. It cuts out any 'oh shit, I thought those were suited!' errors.

also, I've got the no-chairs mod going, because I find the chairs/icons way too distracting (particularly when multi-tabling). it's needless clutter.

Which of the online poker "houses" are those screenshots from? It's got a very clean look, style-wise, compared to what I stared at for most of yesterday.

[Subby]

That looks like EuroBet to me, which is a skin of PartyPoker. However, I think CT is using the Chip Litre no table/no chairs mod there...

Coral Eurobet, one of the Party 'Skins.'

It's a different front end for the exact same system of games. It's usually almost as busy-looking, but I'm using modified graphics. Party has a bunch of skins (Empire Poker, Coral Eurobet, Intertops, PokerNOW).

If you're playing Party or Empire, check out this guys webpage for graphic mods:

BRILLIANT!

Cthomer, are there any free solo Poker games to download somewhere on the web that have the "looks" of those screenshots you pasted ?

I am looking for a really good solo poker game...

[kingnebwsu]

This thread has some information in it. I feel the discussion wasn't complete, so I'm curious as to what software would be worth trying.

none that i'm aware of. Partypoker does have play money games though, but obviously that is online play.
