Re: Please share your Poker Stars Hotkey Configuration

I added

G = Bet/Raise

T = Bet/Raise All-In

Now my Hotkey Settings is complete.

I hope I don't hit "T" by accident.......

I used to use the Razer Nostromo to play FPS games online so I'm quite familiar with it. It looks like a very nice set up. Nice going. I'm gonna think about getting one again. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I am just emulating and following in the footsteps of what the Gamepad pioneers here have established.

If you end up getting a Razer Nostromo, be sure to post your settings.

In the meantime, I will follow your current keyboard settings.

Out of curiosity, by using standard keyboard keys, I like your 'F' for Fold and 'C' for Call BTW, do they interfere with other tasks or applications? Or once the Stars is in the foreground, it does not matter?

Here is my complete settings;

W = Bet/Raise 50% Pot
E = Bet/Raise 75% Pot
R = Bet/Raise 105% Pot
F = Fold
X = Check
C = Call
G = Bet/Raise
V = Bet/Raise 3X Big Blinds
B = Bet/Raise 9X Big Blinds
N = Bet/Raise 12X Big Blinds
H = Bet/Raise 15X Big Blinds
T = Bet/Raise All-In

Under "Send Hotkeys to:"

Click on the "Table Under Mouse" and "Bring to Foreground"

Click on the "Highlight Target Table" I use a bright green color.

Under "Select Color..." , I would pick a bright color so that you would know when the table is selected for Hotkey action.

I can play 4 tables of Zoom Poker and I can put in +1000 hands in one hour with this set up. I would say that with using the Hotkeys, my efficiency is up 25-35%(may be more...) from just using the mouse and keyboard without Hotkeys.

I also have "Adjust bet size with Big Blinds" turned on under "Bet Slider Options..." to use the mouse scroll wheel to change the bet size. I use that feature in combination with the Hotkey "G" to bet the desired amount.

When I play, my index finger rests on "F" and my pinkie rests in the crevice between "A" and "CapsLock" and my thumb rests on the space bar. After making sure that my left palm/hand is in the correct place, I know where all the essential Hotkeys are without looking at the keyboard.

The Hotkeys "B" "N" "H" are used for Squeezing and 3betting preflop.

I mainly use the Hotkeys "F" "V" "C" "X" most often.

I'm thinking about changing to "D = Check" because "X = Check" is fine but it's a little hard to press sometimes and I do use "Check" a lot during play. I do get "Check" and "Call" mixed up more often than any other Hotkeys but fortunately the mistakes are never that bad since pressing "Call" when you wanna "Check" or pressing "Call" when you wanna "Check" doesn't do anything.

I might change the Hotkeys to;

F = Fold
D = Check
S = Call

Or

F = Fold
D = Check

I might try that set up and if I do, I'll let you know how it is. My concern is that it might become too easy to make a mistake with it.

Thats how the foundation keys on the gamepad is setup.

D F & C == same (Check, Fold & Call) as it would be on a QWERTY (ASDF) keyboard.

I have the %Pot on the botton, while the xBB is on the top. I may start looking into > 5X. You can 3bet with %Pot also.

Have you tried sending keys to Active Window? I guess if you play Zoom, no need to have active windows pop up here and there. I just use 'Active Windows' so I can avoid the mouse.

I use Green also.

Not using Fold & Watch hotkey for Zoom?

Yes, "G" Fires, but did you know you can use the arrow keys instead of the mouse scroll wheel? Just make sure 'Highlight bet amount' is checked.

I just found this out and had to reprogram the gamepad.

Yes, there is a learning curve with the hotkeys. Need to consciously train till it is unconsciously set in stone.

I just created the only macro I use so I can auto-register the same cash/sng. I just click the button, and it Ctrl-S(Cmd-S), then selects OK && OK. It runs OK, but I can open up unlimited tables with just a push of the button and no mouse interaction.

Can you think of any other macros that may be fun to try? I am pretty brain dead right now after getting the gamepad fully utilized.

I just added "Y = Fold and Watch" but I hardly ever use it.

I wish they had "Check Sit Out Next Big Blinds Box" in Hotkey menu.

This has nothing to do with Hotkeys but I use Tilbuster.Com's "3DYellowSpadesGel" card mods made by Mr. Quicksilver. They don't sell it anymore but it is just awesome.

Other than that, I'm just loving my Hotkeys set up. I can play 4 tables of Zoom Poker and put in +1000 hands in one hour so I just keep my session to one hour at a time now. I didn't even have to buy TableNinja which is just great.

Re: Please share your Poker Stars Hotkey Configuration

Yeah, the Hotkeys are pretty nice and will only get better. It will be interesting to see all the functionality once it leaves Beta. Maybe you will get your wish at that time.

The new Table Theme coming up looks pretty awesome too. Yellow spades sounds like a good idea, but does not look likely. I would of probably purchased that theme from tiltbuster if PS was not implementing soon.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...ostcount=15904

Where hotkeys excels over TN is native support. PS will not release an upgrade without ensuring the hotkeys are well-tested. No need to worry about patching after this or that upgrade.

Glad you are more efficient. I know how the feel.

Re: Please share your Poker Stars Hotkey Configuration

I updated my Hotkeys set up once again.

Q = Bet/Raise 25% Pot
W = Bet/Raise 50% Pot
E = Bet/Raise 75% Pot
R = Bet/Raise 105% Pot
Y = Fold and Watch
F = Fold
D = Check
C = Call
G = Bet/Raise
V = Bet/Raise 3X Big Blinds
B = Bet/Raise 9X Big Blinds
N = Bet/Raise 12X Big Blinds
H = Bet/Raise 15X Big Blinds
T = Bet/Raise All-In

Under "Send Hotkeys to:"

Click on the "Table Under Mouse" and "Bring to Foreground"

Click on the "Highlight Target Table" I use a bright green color.

Under "Select Color..." , I would pick a bright color so that you would know when the table is selected for Hotkey action.

I know we have the native software support in using the Hotkey commands from Poker Stars Client but I'm finding out that Hotkeys fails sometimes. Once in a great while, some of my bet/raise Hotkeys doesn't work at all. I keep pressing it and nothing happens. I hope this gets fixed when they come out of the Beta phase testing.

Just for the record, I've played around 25k hands using the Hotkeys so far....

Re: Please share your Poker Stars Hotkey Configuration

I changed my set up again.

Q = Bet/Raise 25% Pot
W = Bet/Raise 50% Pot
E = BetRaise 62.5% Pot
R = Bet/Raise 75% Pot
T = Bet/Raise 105% Pot
U = Fold and Watch
F = Fold
D = Check
C = Call
G = Bet/Raise
V = Bet/Raise 3X Big Blinds
B = Bet/Raise 9X Big Blinds
N = Bet/Raise 12X Big Blinds
H = Bet/Raise 15X Big Blinds
Y = Bet/Raise All-In

Under "Send Hotkeys to:"

Click on the "Table Under Mouse" and "Bring to Foreground"

Click on the "Highlight Target Table" I use a bright green color.

Under "Select Color..." , I would pick a bright color so that you would know when the table is selected for Hotkey action.

Actually, just looking through how the Hotkeys are set up before the session is a very good idea to prevent misfiring.
