How do you guys arrange mroe than 6 tables?

I have a standard laptop screen and can now comfortably play 6 tables. I arrange them 3 accross and 2 down, and although I can't see all tables completely at any one time, I can always see a part of all of them which means I can very quickly bring any of them into view at the click of a button.

However if I add another table, then it means at one point that one will be hidden behind the other 6, so it's then difficult to bring it the front if I want to wach the play on that table. How do you guys get around this? I can't make them any smaller without the hud stats taking up too much of the table. Any ideas?

multitabling was never meant to be done on a laptop. Most guys that take it seriously hook the laptop to an external monitor and either run two screens side by side or have one big monitor.

I rarely play on my laptop, but when I do, it's usually just 1 table while I'm sitting on the couch watching tv. Otherwise I can play up to 12 tables with no overlap using this:

How do you link to your TV? My TV is old and shit but would probably bump me up to 9 tables. Can older TVs work?

There's probably an s-video output on your laptop. Just get an svideo cable but remember the resolution on your tv is less than the resolution on your laptop. Meaning it'll be bigger at a lower resolution so it's a tradeoff of small and clear or big and fuzzy.

You could go buy an external monitor to connect to your laptop. Bought my son a 23" monitor at Bestbuy for $150 not too long ago.

Poker Orifice is an unknown quantity at this point
idk, I guess it depends upon how you're used to viewing the tables. I can comfortably put a half dozen on my laptop screen (and 9 would be okay) with Fulltilt. I just tile them but am used to viewing small tables. Other sites like Titan, not so great.
I think stacking them is the way to go if you plan on playing alot of tables - having the screen quartered and then mulitiple tables stacked upon one another.
