Also, I'm playing limit poker, I don't know if that is a consideration or not. I would much appreciate any insight

once you have downloaded xpadder.. assign each button a letter on the keyboard.. example on the 360 controller assign the x button the letter X or the right trigger the letter R... then down load tableninja.. from tableninja.com ... then assign each action a letter corresponding to the letters on you controller... ie.. the letter R you assinged to the trigger.. if you want the right trigger to preform the fold action. assign the letter R to fold.. then when you click the trigger you hand will fold.... after you assign the actions in table ninja click save... you will be ready to roll... good luck.... john

thanks a lot, looking forward to trying this after work

Absolutely agree with jfrizzle that xpadder and tableninja is the way to go.

Meh I disagree, but to each their own. Two more closed source EXEs I don't need on my poker system, no thanks.

Wireless Xbox 360 controller, no additional software - just using Joy1-16 etc. as hotkeys in AHK scripts does the job extremely well imo.

All I used when I used a gamepad for a few weeks was Joy2Key, BetPot and UrgentTable-v0.3 to keep track of the active table and move my mouse there.

I'm having trouble configuring this to work on limit tables. Betpot and Table Ninja only work for nl/pl, or am I wrong? Would just using AHK work for limit?

I only played limit when I used a gamepad. Betpot works fine.

Got a xb360 controller and have it set up thanks to these forums. You guys rock.

Couple Q's I couldn't find answers to by searching:

1. what is the code to confirm a bet? For example, I bet the pot with code like this:

Joy6::
Pot(getid(),"1 1 1 1", "smallblind", 0, 0)
return

I know I can change the last "0" to "1" to autobet but would rather confirm with a click.

2. What does gosub mean? Example:

Joy11::
Gosub, WheelDown
return

Thanks!

can you elaborate a bit Fozzy? I'm really not adept at this stuff. Do I just need to add the code that was listed above?

[fozzy71]

I didnt use an xbox controller and I didnt use any code from this thread. I bought a gamepad for the pc. Then I just ran joy2key and setup my betpot hotkeys accordingly. I cant be any more specific than that really, as it was 9 months ago at least.

Raise(getid())

2. What does gosub mean? Example:

Joy11::
Gosub, WheelDown
return

It means "go do the code labelled here, then come back" - in this example, it makes Joy11 button do whatever action(s) WheelDown is set to do.

For limit play, you probably don't want the code above (no use for pot size derived actions). You probably want something like this in betpot_hotkeys:

Joy1::
Fold(getid())
return

Joy2::
Call(getid())
return

Joy3::
Raise(getid())
return

Remember betpot does not care about active or not tables, it will action on whatever table is beneath the cursor. you can change this to require the table to be active AND beneath the cursor, if misclicks are a problem.

Additionally, you may prefer actions to occur on release of the button - that way you can "undo" an action if you notice it is wrong but haven't let go the button yet, to do that you just put UP after the hotkey name e.g.

Joy2 UP::

This can also be preferable if the controller sends repeated events, like rapid-fire (some do, some don't - can't remember it being a problem with x360 or PS3 controllers myself).

If I were playing in a cascade, I'd probably have shoulder buttons L1 and R1 mapped to shuffle up/down through the tables too - I think that's be handy.

nameonthecake ...... on tabeninja... under action hotkeys in the middle ... there is a place to set up the hot keys for limit only........ as for the other setups dave may be the one to ask... this is what works for me so i thought i would offer some help...... john

Thanks. I changed the button assignment and am using it now!

This didn't work for me. I tried the below code as well as changing the "0" to "1". When it was a zero, it behaved just like without the "UP" (filled in the bet box on the down push of button and required my confirmation). When set to 1 it auto bet without my confirm on the down push. Am I missing something?

Joy4 UP:: ; Yellow Y
Pot(getid(),"1 1 1 1", "smallblind", "ssnl", 0)
return

Thanks!

Im also using a gampad (playstation like) with joy2key but Im also using 2 instances of joy2mouse
so I can controll the mouse with both analog sticks, left is slow and precise right is fast
