What's Your Edge
Andrew I saw 21 last night. It was a mediocre movie and it really wasn't true to the book. It was probably still worth seeing though. There were some great Vegas scenes. Seeing the movie really got me itching to get out to Vegas. The characters in the movie approached Vegas almost exactly like we do. The only difference was they played high stakes BJ, so they got comped. Everything else was the same. Nice hotel rooms, lots of gambling, tables at clubs, strip clubs for the after part... ah, I love Vegas. Unfortunately, I won't be in Vegas for a few months. I'm already getting pumped up though.
I finally got my monitor working. It wasn't cheap though. I went out and bought a new graphics card. I believe it is the Geoforce 8800 or something like that. It was basically the best card they had. It also forced me to get a new power supply for my desktop, which I wasn't too happy about. I would have almost been better off just buying a new computer really. For some reason I can only get my secondary monitor to show up at 1280x800 res when it should be 1680x1050. I'm not too concerned about that right now, because I'm only using it for PT.
I've been 16 tabling which has been interesting. I'm mostly doing it out of curiosity. I want to know if it's possible to win playing so many tables. I've never really played more than 8 or so. Having a massive monitor like tihs makes it a ton easier though. You just need to make your decisions instantly, which isn't incredibly hard at 2/4nl because most things are super standard. IMO, I've ran pretty poorly so far. I put one wicked beat on someone with AKs vs AA allin pre, but other than that I've ran quite awful in allin pots. I personally think I can win at a rate around .5bb/100. I don't know though. Below are my PT stats so far. I included the rake, because that is pretty important part of this scenario. I should note that this is less than 4 hours of play. I believe I'm averaging like 1200 hands/hr. Pretty ridiculous really.

i don't know much about computers but i think you can only get get the max resolution on your second monitor because your computer has an analog and a digital plug for your monitors. the analog one can't run the really high resolutions i think.

I've got a 32" LCD, but when i hook my computer up the screen only lets me have like 4 tables fully visible, how do you change it so you can see so many tables?

I just went to Best Buy tonight to buy a new setup and I avoided the having the same problems you are having with your resolution, because the geeksquad guys were on the ball. I wanted to run 2 28" monitors and the computer I was looking at had a the same video card in it that you just bought...8800 geforce with two DVI (I believe thats what they are called) outputs. However, that video card needs BOTH DVI outputs for one monitor to run it at max resolution. The fix was that I had to buy a SECOND video card so that I could use two DVI outputs for each monitor so that they could both be run at their "native resolutions". I don't know if your mother board will support the second video card or not, because one of the computers I was looking at didn't. Good Luck.
