   Don't Go Into A Gunfight With A Knife

   When I decided a month ago that I was really gonna go for this, I immediatly thought about what would I need to make this as easy as possible. I am by nature an anal organizer and tend to over plan pretty much everything. When worrying what kinda route I should take to the BevMo down the block this is a real problem , but in this case I think it goes into my favor. Hopefully this entry and the planning I have done can help some of you thinking about Multitabling on these poker sites. I went on twoplustwo.com, which is the largest poker forum on the internet. From there I spent the next 2 weeks combing through threads to see what people had done, learned, and used to go for SNE. It was very insightful on what people thought, and how they went about going for it. I used to tile on a 32 inch HDTV which was fine, but I quickly learned that HDTV can not duplitcate the resolution of a computer moniter. I also learned it was better to have 2 moniters so you could use one for your tables and another one for your Pokertracker/Hold em manager, and other stuff. Of course with the most popular other usuage being porn and pokersoup, not necessarily in that order :). A good Video card that supported 2 moniters was also a must. What really struck me as a great idea was the use of a SSD(Solid State Drive) for your pokertracker. With playing so many hands there is a ton of data you need to bring up to do things like review sessions, filter out certain data to see how you are playing at certain levels or on different streets. With a SSD this makes these things almost instant compared to a normal Hard Drive. Last but not least was a good chair. With spending so many hours sitting you are going to need a very comfortable chair. With All this info I decided on what I needed to start my journy.

   I Bought a Gaming computer with an AMD Phenom II 64 bit 6 core processor(overkill but I am an overplanner) 6gb ddr ram(needed for running multiple programs IMO) With an ATI Radeon 1gb video card that has 2 Dvi port that can support 2 moniters. Thee Hard Drive is 1 TB(huge) I also got that SSD drive and it is only 64gb cause all you need to run on there is your Windows and Pokertracker. For moniters I went with a 30 inch dell and a 27 inch Samsung. I am still waiting to try out some chairs to decide what I need. Any suggestions? Here is some pics of The setup.

   I am getting excited as I get closer to January. I barely have played any poker as I am trying to relax a bit and get all this craziness set up before the Holiday season really hits due to Christmas. Hope you all have a great Holiday and I will see you at The Stable!
