If I thought it would do any good, I'd send this thread to Dell and say....
Look how few STT I've been playing because I've been sleeping at night (when I work) and staying up during the "no play zone" that is daytime to await your delivery. Ya big bunch of hi-tech pansies.
Another phonecall to be made tomorrow.
I'll be as civil as I can on the ol' dog and bone. I don't want to turn into my Mum. She always shouts at people on the the other end of the telephone. I believe that's self defeating to your cause most of the time. It's not usually the person on the end of the phone's fault (although it could be) and you want them on your side so they can help you sort whatever the problem is.
As with all things in life though, it's easier said than done. I'm fuming about this as I hate being lied to and this nonsense is costing me money. Making nice and refraining from swearing will be a big challenge for me.
I don't like regailing you with bad beat stories on this thread and this monitor palava I see as being something similar. I shant keep boring you if it all continues to go wrong. If it turns up and doesn't work I'll just keep schtum about it till the situation is resolved. It's all about the poker baby!
End result of being awake during the day means I only 21 played in these last 2 days. That's next to hee-haw.
Days 31 and 32 Results : +$214 (+$2,889.3 total)
ROI : 8.9% (after 540 tournaments played)
Not a great haul. My old, very unwelcome, friend the blank batch (4 tournaments with no cashes) reared it's ugly head again to prevent it being a much better result. Still, the way things have been going at the moment, I'm delighted with anything that isn't red.
One good thing about being awake during my "no play zone" is that I've had plenty time to review my recent play. (Keep looking for the positives Thomas)
A few things I've noticed, the main one being that I've been laying down a few hands which I shouldn't have. I'm feeling good about my play on the whole though.
Regular peeps who have to work every day have it tough. That's one of the reasons I try not to indulge myself by regailing you with bad beat tale after bad beat tale on this thread. I'm pleased to report that even if that were my modus operandi, I wouldn't be doing so in this update. There were not too many to gripe about on Day 34. 
Shortly after I woke, Clair (my new monitor) was opened up to see what she was capable of. At her maximum resolution she easily fits 4 screens with no overlap and room to spare. I can squeeze 10 in such a way that none of the of the betting action buttons overlap. I tried 8 tabling at a much lower limit for a couple of batches. I found this not too different from playing a batch of 4 on my laptop.
But then......
I tried a regular batch of 4 $55's with the screens not overlapping in any way. It makes such a gigantic difference that it's difficult for me to express in words. Suffice is to say, once you've experienced Clair's 24" of pixelly goodness, you'll never go back. I'll be getting another one before I add playing more than 4 at a time to my repertoire.
In the meantime (monitor deliverys can take a while I hear) I'll still be able to increase my volume of play. Firstly, because it's much easier on my eyes now. I'll be able to put in longer sessions before I grow weary. Secondly, the spare brain power that's saved from flicking between screens will allow me to run the tournaments in a continous stream rather than batching them.
Days 33 and 34 Results : +$305.5 (+$3,194.8 total)
ROI : 9.5% (after 559 tournaments)
I only played 19 with all the experimenting going on today. Tomorrow, with hee-haw else on my agenda, I don't see me fitting in any less than 50. Then we'll be cooking with gas ladies and gentlemen.
I'm now able to pick up more information, which I might previously have missed if I were still playing on a smaller monitor. The ROI is creeping upwards again and I think/hope this trend will continue because of this.
