It's easy for simple tasks as above, but it gets a lot more tricky when you incorporate error handling to allow more complicated tasks to run smoothly. It is made all the more difficult when used alongside Bovada due to the client's temperament! For example, even the simple task of opening a Bovada table can be hampered by the table freezing, or by the client not letting you take a seat, or it may let you take a seat but it sticks on "reserved" and won't let you buy in, or it lets you buy in but then lags for 15 seconds, etc, etc.
I've spent many hours so far over the past few weeks developing a piece of software to facilitate playing on Bovada, with the goal of it making the experience more enjoyable and less stressful. Hopefully it will allow players to spend less time faffing around and so others at the table will have less wait time too, allowing everyone's play to move quicker- but I probably wouldn't describe the coding as easy.
So far, I have features handling things such as auto top-up, auto seat/auto buy-in, auto take preferred seat (Bovada has this but it doesn't always remember the user's choice), auto close tables and pop-ups, Sit-out next BB at all tables, one-click fix for the "Ghost" (greyed-out) rebuy bug (which is easier to use and more successful than attempting to do so manually), one-click record/look up Hand Histories 24-hours later (which I think is a pretty cool function as previously I had to write down HH numbers and then manually type them in), table layout and resizing handling, one-click toggle on/off features such as Chat/Auto-Muck (which are a nightmare to do manually in-game), etc, etc.
It's tailored towards the cash-game player currently but I'd be interested in listening to tournament players for their suggestions and advice on what could be added. I'll be looking for a Beta tester or two soon.
