You guys tile the tables or use a "pop-up" style setting?


If I am at my station I will tile.
If I am on the laptop chilling in front of the TV (and running 4+) then I will cascade.

I usually tile - I run 2 screens, 6 tables on 1 and the overflow on the other.

I just thought of another thing - 888 don't really have a timebank feature implemented either, which might cause a few more timeouts than normal

Cool - it's about time. Does it work for all tourneys yet? 888 is supposed to have had synch breaks for a while now but only 888pl games have had it, lots of other games haven't

Hopefully they will have their international network updated by the end of this month, but even then there are people (like Harps) who delay the system by holding on to old versions of the software and refusing to upgrade.

Come the end of May all old versions will be turned off and players will be informed to download direct from 888 so we are all on same version.

Okay as People know I LOVE poker 5, for many reasons the lobby the view & the chat.

I still have people say they preferred this version,rather than poker6 versions 1,2,3.
I have timebank, Yes even with poker5.
How do I delay the system ?

Image

If I want a game they are easy to find in the lobby. All marked out where they should be I don"t have to stuff around with tabs to find them just scroll down.
I love what I have .It is the reason why I have not changed it " Okay so I missed out on playing state of origin :( , small price to pay.
I could of had a Subaru my10 , wasn't the colour we wanted & had paid for. Instead we got a my11 for the same price, why ? no compromise. Why we wanted grey/black ,they had none left.We got what we wanted & was the 1st 1 registered in Australia.

Thing is people need to be able to have their own choices as to what they want. NOT BE TOLD THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
yeah 5:50am no more cold beer left glad I posted before the spirits :D
How do I slow down the system ?????
