    All you hardcore SNG multitablers that play on a notebook or a desktop with one monitor only - do ya prefer to cascade the tables or to stack them exactly on top of each other? how do you prevent tables from timing out and getting forgotten with either method? is the use of AHK scripts a must when moving towards 10+ tables?

    I have two monitors and I still stack them all. I think that's the easiest way. AHK scripts really do help too, so you don't have to slide the damn scroll bar everytime you want to shove it.

    I'm not a "hardcore" multitabler (around 9 tables generally) but I find tiling to be easier because it allows me to keep track of how each table is playing if that makes sense. Also, AHK scripts make your life a lot easier but you have to be careful not to make misclicks.

    interesting, how many tables do you play max? do you never get timed out tables?

    AHK scripts are just "auto-hotkey scripts". everytime i play, i use an AHK script made by wickss. you can set it up so that certain keys on your keyboard make certain bets, and other useful stuff (i.e. this AHK script automatically closes all message boxes, can send your mouse to the active poker screen, etc.)

    i don't know if they're necessary, but once you start to use them, you don't go back.

    I've just just started to venture into the "hardcore" multitabler category, but I usually play 15 tables at a time. I rarely get timed out. And the AHK script I use has an option that auto sits you back in. As far as stacking, I just find it alot easier to focus on one screen at a time instead of having to dart your eyes around 10-15 windows spread across two monitors, most of them overlapping anyway. With stacking, you know exactly which table is next in line for your to act and it's just easier on the brain imo.

    I tile, but as I get to more and more tables, I think that stacking is the way to go. Seems that most 30-tablers are stackers.
