Back in August I published the code for The Absolute Solution. An AutoHotkey script that would record hand histories from the Instant Hand History window. That thread can be found here.

When I put that out, I said I would work on adding the functionality to automatically open and close tables. I have finally finished what a feel is a decently stable version of the script that will do just that.

The Source Code can retrieved by going here.
There is also a tutorial that should explain how to use the program.

A special thanks needs to be given to SamIAm, Roland and anyone that did work on writing iWitness. Without their work, this new version of Absolute Solution would not have been possible.

Presently SNGs are not supported. Since I never saw them as being that active, I did not spend the time to ensure they would work. But if anyone wants it, just tell me and I will take that time.

There are a few things that I am aware of that prevents the Absolute Solution from operating perfectly. I decided that it was better to release the script as is so that people can start using it now.
Known Issues:
If you use the Absolute Solution to mine two different types of games at once, I have seen some lag by Absolute Poker in updating their Lobby lists. This causes one of the rules to sometimes not work.
When Absolute Solution has been running for a while, the function that opens tables finds a table it should open, but isn't able to select it in the menu (so no table is opened).
Running multiple clients. I haven't taken the time to see if this might have been broken when I converted the code to work with Absolute instead of Party. If I remember correctly, there were issues that caused the extra clients to not open new tables. That will still be true, as I have not done much with the code handling separate clients.

Thanks man,

Gonna test it out now.

Thanks!

Irish,
This is awesome. I personally could really use the SNG support. There's more traffic than you might think.
Thanks,

Dude,
Ok, I'll work on it. Most likely won't be able to start until after the holidays, but I'll do it.

No rush...it'd just be nice to have whenever you get around to it...thanks!

SNGs are now supported.
There was also another fix because Table Timeout preference was not being saved. I also noticed that if this is set to less than 3 minutes it will cause some false positives about the table's/sng's status.

The Absolute Solution Version .61 can accessed by going to the Absolute Solution home page.

Awesome...thanks.

maybe its just me, and i have experience with AHK scripts and iwitness, but no matter what table types I choose, it will not start the scan, even hitting forced scan, or go. It will grab the HHs just fine though, no problems there. any ideas where to start looking for the problem, it could v well be user related.

aprrently it says there was a scan about 5 mins ago, but no tables are listed, I did make a table set up in table groupts, but theres nothing listed in the watch part, besides the fact that it sees the client

KungFu,

Check your PM box and let's see if we can get this fixed.

After looking at a bunch of things, I finally found the issue. Absolute switched the way they were listing NL and PL games. They had previously appeared as No Limit $<Big Blind>. This was changed to $<Small Blind>/$<Big Blind> NL. This was preventing any tables from being recognized as being the correct level.

The Absolute Solution Version .62 can accessed by going to the Absolute Solution home page.

It seems to stop mining occasionally. Whenever I see this, inevitably when I try to maximize absolute there is a window that says I cannot play in any additional windows. I have to click "ok," then stop/go again in the "Watch" tab. Any ideas why this is happening? It's always under a VMWare window -- mining LHE games, not logged in.

The code I used to close that window works when I test is. I'll have to look into it.

It seems to happen when Absolute poker loses focus, as far as I can tell. It's under VMWare terminals that are dedicated to datamining, so there should be relatively few variables that cause it to happen. I just checked and when I brought the absolute main window up, I think that Absolute Solution hit "ok" for me, but I still had to intervene.
