server and client are comunicating already
client will chose table and join it. each table must start and run the game seperatly (start/determine cards for each player/check for winner...) becouse games dont start at the same time and arent "timealigned".
so server program should get/give different informations to all tables at once.

Three ways:
1) Fork a new process for each table, and tell the client how to connect to that process using some free port.
2) Fork a new thread for each table, and tell the client how to connect to that thread using some free port.
3) Keep all tables inside the main thread, and update them as a state machine. When a given client sends data, forward that data to the appropriate state machine.
