Creating several instances and later access them

Question

Hi,

this is more of a general question and I would hope that you can give me some best-practice or refer me to a good page with this kind of information.

I'm working on a poker client right now and when the server is being started it should create X tables so that the Lobby (for the user) is not empty so when the program starts on the server it creates 6 tables which can be found in the lobby however how should the user access the right table?

All tables have an unique ID but I'm having problem what is a good approach here.

Thanks in advance,

Tomas
