MULTIPLE TABLE PLAY IS HERE!!

 

GAME SETUP - CHIP AND CASH ISSUES - GAME PLAY

 

 

To help you get the most out of your multiple tables playing experience at True Poker, we have amassed all the information you’ll need in one spot.

 

Let’s first start with how you sit down at multiple tables.

 

1. When you log into True Poker next, you will be prompted to update the software. Click “OK” and when the update is complete, you will have to close the program and enter it again.
2. After you log in, you will see the same lounge/table screen as you normally see. Click on whatever table you want to play at, and select “Go to Table”. You will then see that table pop up on your screen, where you may then buy in and sit down. (Screenshot of table selection)
3. To select a second table, return to the lounge, and repeat the process of step 3. You will then see a second table appear where you may again sit down and play. (Screenshot of the second table coming up)
4. You can repeat this up to 3 Ring Games and 1 tournament, for a total of 4 separate tables!

 

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions regarding the addition of multiple table play:

 

GAME SETUP:

 

Q: How many tables can I play at?

 

A: You may play up to 4 Ring Game tables OR 3 Ring Game tables plus 1 tourney table – if you play on True Poker’s Main server.

You may play up to 2 Ring Game tables OR 1 Ring Game table plus 1 tourney table – if you play on True Poker’s Play servers.

You cannot play in two tournaments at the same time.

 

Q: I cannot move or resize the logs anymore? Why is that?

 

A: In order to ease the confusion of multiple chat logs for multiple tables, we have fixed the log to the right hand side of the table screen. This way, you can be assured that the conversation you are reading or participating in is for the correct table.

You can still resize the logs horizontally, to the right.

 

You can still turn the logs on and off by clicking the “Logs” button in any table screen of the lounge screen.

 

 

Q: Why can't I make the program bigger? Or smaller, so I can see more than one table at once?

 

A: The table screen size is set at a fixed resolution of 640x480, which is the optimal size to see all of the action on the screen clearly. You do have the option to change the resolution of your computer’s monitor, allowing you to see more than one table at once. Here’s how to change your Microsoft Windows Display settings:

 

1. Go to your start menu and select “Control Panel”
2. In the Control Panel window, select “Display”
3. In the Display window, select the “Settings” Tab
4. In the Settings tab, you will see an area for screen resolution. There you can adjust the size of the screen display until you find the perfect one for you.

 

Q: How come the lounge won't close?

 

A: The lounge screen will always remain open and is where you access tables and cashier for purchasing chips. You must stand up from all other tables before you can close the Lounge (and exit TruePoker).

 

Q: When I double click on the board to join a table, my program momentarily minimizes. How can I fix that?

 

A: That is a normal function of the new release. When you join a table, the lounge screen will momentarily minimize, but can be found by clicking the Lounge button in the current game or in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

 

Q: Why can I not change my Avatar anymore?

 

A: You can change your account’s properties (including Avatar) from the Lounge only.

 

 

 

CHIP AND CASH ISSUES: Top

 

Q: I am using the Cashier in the Lounge and I cannot move the slider. How do I transfer Cash to Chips?

 

A: If you are a real money player you can only Buy, Cash Out or Redeem points in the Lounge Cashier (play money players can Top Up or Transfer play money).

You can transfer cash into chips only when you sit down at the table.

 

Q: I am at the table but it won't let me purchase chips.

 

A: If you are out of chips, but you still have cash in your account you can access the cashier at the table by sitting out and then increase the amount of chips at that table.

If you do not have enough cash either, you should press the Lounge button and access cashier from there to purchase more.

 

Q: I got the message that I don’t have enough money when trying to register in a tourney, but I have enough.

 

A: The funds for the tourney registration are taken from your Cash and not from your total (that includes cash and chips at the tables, the so called chips “In Play”).

If you don’t have enough Cash, you need to add to that account either by depositing or by transferring from “In Play”.

Note: Taking money from the “In Play” account might be considered ratholing, so better keep enough funds for the tourney registration in your “Cash”.

 

 

GAME PLAY: Top

 

Q: How do I leave the table without closing the program?

 

A: If seated, press the "stand up" button on the upper right then use the "close" button.

 

Q: I do not have a Tables button when I am sitting at a table?

 

A: To access other tables simply click on the “Lounge” button at your table and the lounge and table menu will appear.

 

Q: Why can I no longer raise and lower my cards when sitting at a table?

 

A: In an effort to maintain speed of play and ensure that players do not run out of time toggling cards between multiple tables play the cards are now placed in front of you in a stationary manner.

 

Q: How do I see how many tables I am playing at?

 

A: You can check the list of tables in the WINDOWS taskbar at the bottom of your screen or use the Find Player function from the Menu and search for your nickname.

 

 

Q: How will I know when it is my turn to play at a given table?

A: You will be alerted that is your turn to play by a red color message at the bottom of the current game and by the flashing icon for another table in the WINDOWS taskbar. Act at the current table, if it is your turn and the other table will be brought in front OR simply click on the flashing icon and the corresponding table will appear.
