    Hi Rich,
    I wonder if you can help?
    I enter a tournament or cash game, the table loads but the right hand side and bottom of the page is not in view.This means that I have no access to the action buttons, raise,check or fold.
    I have been in the control panel and changed my settings but to no avail.
    I have always had this problem with my laptop though it is the first time it has occurred on my desktop.
    I relise that it is probably a PC problem but if you could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged.
    Thanks in hpe.

    WhenI say "not in view" I mean that the end side and bottom of the page are cut off. Reducing the page size does not reveal the rest.
    Regards

    Hi Gold, can you get the problem to happen again, then press 'Prt Scr' (print screen, should be top right of your keyboard next to scroll lock). Then open Paint and press Ctrl-V (or paste), then upload this picture to a picture hosting site (search 'image hosting' in google there are tonnes to choose from),  take the direct link of your picture and post that here, so that people can physically see the problem you are having. This will help greatly with diagnosing your problem.

    Also giving your computer type, operating system version etc will get you a better answer.

    :-)

    Hi Gold

    I had a similar problem a few months ago and found that I had adjusted my "zoom level" from 100% to I think 75%.  Zoom level shows at the bottom right of this page.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Beaneh, Machka and Kiwini4u.
    Thank you for your time and willingness in trying to resolve my problem.
    It turns out that it was down to 'screen resolution', something that an old duffer like me knows jack about.
    I applaud your efforts. A credit to the site.
    Kind Regards.

    If you're playing for five hours a day I think a laptop would be better than an iPad. No idea how much data you will use though as i've never monitored it.

    Hi, I've only been playing poker about 6 weeks so I've been trying to put the valuable tips and info I am learning on channel 865 into practice on the free play tables.
    The trouble is the game plays out totally different to how it's suposed to.
    It seems anyone will call or raise in any position with any hand, so how do i tell who might have what.
    Is this  just the nature of the free tables i.e You can't really lose so anyone will have a bet no matter what their hole cards. Would I be better off playing the very low stakes tables and risk losing a few quid in the quest to better my game.
    Thanks,
    A.K

    try low stakes albie as no1 is ever gonna take the free tables seriously
    If you afford to lose a few quid then go for it but try a variety of games
    SNG,DYM,MTT and see what your niche is then go from there

    Freeplay is good for learning the mechanics of how to play poker but not ideal for learning to actually play poker as you have seen people don't play seriously.

    As chopos180 says 30p or 60p Double You Money SnG's, and small Tournaments starting at £1.10 I think are your best bet.
