3 - 5 table on 888. I have a big screen! LOL. I am cutting back when playing cash to 3 tables max.

I also had stars opened (thank god) min cashed to cover my losses for the day.

I do get a beep on 888 though.

you only get a beep if that screen is currently the one in focus. otherwise you dont

[Garth Kay]

Don't notice.

I just watch all screens at once. I don't often time out.
I will be playing tournaments again tonight!

[bennymacca]

maybe i should stop 4 tabling, chatting to 3 people on msn messenger, watching some sort of downloaded tv show, and browsing the forum all at once.

Love the increase to $200 start stack! $1000 was just plain silly

So will your cards be $2000 each too, or $1000, or the saem as they are now ($1000 plus 1 or 2 dependig if you get to the break with it)?

Passports will be valued at 2K each. Bonuses may apply for redemption of second card after first break.

awesome

this is the point - you are being encouraged to play
i dare say that someone playing 5 games a week in pubs will now have a significant advantage.

God, I hope this is true.

I personally can't stand online games. There's no fun in it. I'd rather play at a venue any day of the week. And usually am.

I realise you've said that nothing can be changed about the timeslots of online games, however, I have to say I agree with some of the comments about the fact that it disadvantages people with a normal job.
I LOVE playing in venue (just ask anyone!!!), however, the number of venues that are available to me are decreasing at a rapid rate (I don't THINK that it's as a result of me, but you never know!)
Consequently, I supplement my venue games with online on the nights that I can't play out (yes, I'm definitely an addict), and not being able to play them in that 7-10pm slot will mean that I have less games overall available to me - just because I work full time I'm disadvantaged?????? Hardly seems fair.
I currently play 2-3 times a week in venue (based on what's available) and I think that's a pretty good effort - and on top of that, the nights that I'm home, I'd generally play 3 or 4 of the other games, but CAN'T manage the late games because of work.
IF you can get more venues, fantastic - until then - FAIRLY DISGRUNTLED!!!!
