FedUp With Your SetUp?
As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm headed to the Queen City (Charlotte) for a tourney tomorrow and am very much looking forward to it. Looks like we've got quite a few broggers for this one and that is hella hawesome. It's been a while since I played in a home game with some new folks. Our home game has gotten a tad stagnant and this may give me the wake up call I need to get my own game going again.
*Addendum* I went to lunch with a guy today and told him about the above tournament and buy-in (50, erm, play dollars). He pulled a dollar out of his pocket and said, "I want 2% of your winnings...I trust you." I jokingly took the money planning to toss it back to him after we got a good laugh, but he kept a serious look on his face. So, I have sold my first piece of action on myself...for $1. Absinthe, watch out, I'm getting huge. *End Addendum*
And for those wondering, I should be rollin' up on the scene in my NON mini-van. Earlier I noted I'd be bringing my B game, but I've downgraded that expectation to my very best C- game. Fear my suckout.
Any chance we can get a Dial-A-Shot during the tourney AL??!! I'm wearing my shot glass earring.
I wrote a comment to 9 2 Offsuit yesterday about my laptop on the couch set up. Since I was scrambling for something to write about on this fine Friday, I thought I would put that info up here in case it inspires other wireless laptop users.
Let me start by saying that I love playing poker online, but I'm not a big fan of being away from the family for extended amounts of time to do so. The laptop helps in that aspect as I can play on the couch in the living room and still have the interaction with everyone. Not always the best way to focus on your poker game, but it is worth it to stay focused on your family.
Yet once you have the laptop and wireless setup, it doesn't mean you've put yourself into the ideal situation for playing poker, especially if you multi-table. Having the laptop on your lap over time tends to, well, suck. Enter my setup...
The first part I've already mentioned in a previous post...the TableMate table. This kicks your typical tv stands ass. With a regular TV stand, you can't slide the legs under the couch, thus it is not really a laptop, but a let me lean forward and get backpain...top. Get yourself one of these tables and you can slide the legs under the couch, adjust the height, and adjust the incline/decline. It puts the laptop in your lap, without putting the laptop in, erm, your lap. Detials on that table are here.
Next up is a number keypad. If you are multi-tabling NL games it can be tough to keep up with the action when you have to use the number keys on the laptop. You are constantly going from the laptop mouse touch pad to the number keys and it is all too much work with the number keys all in one line.
To put yourself in a scenario closer to what you are used to with a desktop, get yourself this cool ass USB number keypad. That way you can quickly plug your bets and raises in with ease. Get details on that particular number pad here.
Finally, to eliminate the need for the mouse touch pad, go get yourself an optical mouse. There's nothing new about this type of mouse, but it works wonders for a this type of setup. Not only will it work with ease on the TableMate surface, but you can even use it on your couch, pillow, blanket, or whatever. With no rolling ball, it adjusts nicely to any surface. So if you start to get a pain in your wrist from using the mouse on the table, you can move it wherever you want.
I would suggest using a wired optical mouse for this set up so you don't have to worry about being within an optimal distance from the wireless mouse unit. With it being wired, you can plug it in and you're ready to go, just like the number pad. Details on the optical mouse are here.
So there you have it. For less than $100 you can be on the couch stacking multi-tables without missing out on everything going on. Not everyone will dig it, but for those that do I hope it helps.
I gotta roll, but before I do, please go over to GCox's blog and read about the brogger event he has planned this year. We would love to see as many people as possible come. Thanks for reading.
