Does anyone know how to hook up 2 monitors so you can play in 2 games simultaneously? Do you need any extra equipment, or video card,etc?

You either need a video card that has two outputs, or two video cards. I had no difficulty setting it up, every thing plugged in and worked with out any complaints from the computer. But this is also on my macintosh graphics workstation, nice to have two things open at once and clear view of each... poker and photoshop have been a true pleasure, no matter which one i'm concentrating on at the time.

You don't need 2 monitors to play 2 games - you can have multiple windows open on one monitor.....or am I jusst missing something? I have played UB and PP on one monitor before....

The point is to have a clear view of both tables at all times, not one buried under the other. I myself rarely play more than one table, but either way dual monitors is nice, I can read this forum on one side while still paying decent attention to the game on the other screen, which is nice in the early rounds of a sit n go, where I mostly sit n fold.

If you haven't worked out the 2 monitor issue yet, try what is suggested in this article;

If the monitors did work out, the article might be worth a read anyways if you're new to playing two (or more) tables at once.

Why play two games, double your limit and focus on playing one game well.
