Vista is pretty much infamous for being horrible in the IT community. Mark

QFMFT. At work we have exactly one person using Vista out of hundreds of PC's. The freakin' president.

i play on a laptop..i have dell 9300 it's a 17" monitor, widescreen, hi def, or w/e...idk, it's sexy.I also got a second monitor which has been amazing...it's so nice to not have a cluttered screen...i really recommend it for those of you that play for a living, or semi-whatever you want to call it. for whatever reason, it relieves a little stress that i would feel when i'd have too many tables and they were overlapping...not to mention i can also watch other games much easier before i decide to sit or not.- Jordan

I have a 22" and a 24" and I am amazed that I ever tried to play multiple tables on a 17" monitor. For anyone that is taking poker seriously........after things like Poker Tracker and HUD, good size monitors is the best investment possible.

15.4 should be plenty big for most people. Like Mark said, 17" is top of the line and you'll pay a premium for tit. I serious doubt you'll find anything with XP on it at a retail store. If you have a copy of XP (you should) you could format it and load XP. If you're not familiar with the process, I'm sure the Geek squad could do it for you. Try to get your salesperson to throw in a format and reload of XP for free.

QFT. Also just to be clear, there are 17" monitors, and 17" widescreen monitors.I bought my latest laptop last summer, you pretty much can't get XP anymore (I think Dell's Latitude Business line might offer it as an option) But I just wiped it clean and installed XP first thing. I highly recommend doing that if you can find someone with a disk handy.Mark

Finding an XP disk is usually not a problem. Finding a key that's not in use anymore can be a pain sometimes. If you use the key from your old PC, it probably will not activate online. You'll have to call Microsoft and explain that you switched PC's and the old one is not used anymore. Sounds more difficult than it is. Of course some people can get around the activation process entirely.

I'm sold, end of the summer on my way back to gainesville (no room at home) I'm getting at least one monitor to go w/ my laptop. Cubs did you decide on what you're going with?

[Naismith 0]

Monitors -- I have a Mac Mini hooked up to a 32 inch Vizio LCD. The Vizio LCD was cheaper than any comparably sized monitor and can double as a television.

You should just be calling that flop bet. I hate the raise/fold line.

43/31 is incredibly loose and most probably you're just spewing a tonneDon't raise the flop here either, and if you do raise i think you raised a bit too much given that you're folding to a shove.Against Bull i think i'm inclined to 3-bet here as he'll be OOP if he calls and his isolating range is going to be fairly wide in this spot.

I got myself at about 30/25 over 1400 hands ish so I'm not always quite that insane. Overall breaking even with largish swings so farWas playing a lot against a 2 people running at 36/33 and 28/7 respectively on this table.

The jump from 10 to 25NL is so annoying b/c it's 2.5x instead of just 2x for your BR needs.Buuuut, not if you're willing to reload/table select carefully/avoid flips. Srsly tho you shouldn't be playing 25NL in 12 buyins unless you can just deposit more if you hit a bad run. I'd wait until at least $500 if you're serious about your BR. Maybe mix in a table or two of 25NL if you find some soft games while you stick to 10NL. Do you have rakeback? End of the month mayment might give you the boost you need.

No, i don't have rakeback, i was thinking about trying it at Stars. Ive played 10 NL before and even though i hate that limit with a passion, i probably should start out there.

[KHSPoker21 0]

Link for RB is in the sig. IDK if you've deposited yet at FTP but you can get the signup bonus too. I think it was Bull who said 10NL on FTP is fishier than on Stars b/c it's the lowest limit they offer as opposed to 1c/2c on Stars.
