starshelper seems to be completely useless on aurora. Out of curiousity, why doesnt it affect starscaption in a negative way?

(and also kudos on that (y)

1. Stars is showing the stack with two bb decimals...like 161.16 bb. Under HUD in StarsCaption (SC) I even found a box that says bb decimals 2 and on the left I checked the active box. In the stars software under betting slider I have predefined bet buttons with 2.45bb and 2.65bb. It did bet that amount yesterday when running it without SC. So when I clicked on the button the bet size was 2.45bb or 2.65bb. Now with SC running it either bets 2.5bb (for 2.65bb) and 2bb (for 2.45bb). Cant really use two bb decimals. What am I doing wrong?

2. Same goes for mouse wheel. Under the tab hotkeys and bet change I have WheelUp and WheelDown in it and used 0.19bb for Inc and Dec bet. However it only uses 0.5bb no matter what. In the stars client I have adjust bet size with the small blind checked but it seems I either have to use bb or sb cause I cant uncheck it. How can I use other amounts? Enable hotkeys is checked in that tab.

3. With the stars software I only have the four predefined boxes for betting. Is there a way I can create some sort of overlay with more options. Like maybe 6 or 8 predefined sizes? And if so...can you show me in detail how to do that?

4. Under the tab betscript I tried to use the advanced script but the bets are not who I want them. I clicked on add new bet/preflop/uopened pot and used 2.65bb for cash (game type), preflop (street) and all positions but BU, SB and BB. If I am first to act the bet box only show the min bet of 2bb. The formula says PREFLOP EP1....CO Cash bet<=1bb 2,65bb What am I doing wrong here? I tried it at a reg table...so when its checked to me there is 1.5bb in the pot. I normally play the Ante Zoom tables...so there are 2.25bb in the pot when the pot is unopened. Does that change anything for the correct bet to be shown/the formula?

5. Also can you show me what I have to do when I want a predefined raise in the bet box for a possible 3bet. Like for example there is 2.25bb in the pot and CO bets 3bb...so there is 5.25bb in the pot. If I want a predefined 3bet of lets say 9.5bb there...what would the formula have to be?

Thanks for the help.
Hi

1. Do you mean Convert chips / bb decimal option? Can you show me a screenshot of this tab?

2. Do you have StarsCaption configured to run as admin? Can you have me a screenshot of Hotkeys tab?

3. You can add them as described here.

4. I don't understand what you have there, so please send me your settings (you can export them via Options / Save settings backup)

5. It is better to use templates to add such bets there. Click 'Add new bet' and choose Preflop / Opened pot (small raise) there.
I don't know how you calculate this 9.5bb
If you want to use pot sized bet, formula will be x1
If you always want 9.5bb (regardless of other things) formula will be 9.5bb
Some other formula examples you can find here.
If you want

Because I made an Aurora support and StarsHelper doesn't. It was not very easy, the complexity is comparable to writing a program for a new room.

I just experienced an issue with starscaption. The fold hotkey started to click call or call any preaction checkbox. I called allin pre with 93 and couldn't understand why. After I restarted de starscaption software, it seems to work fine. Just so you know, this bug may occur. Fwiw, I was playing just one table max size when I first noticed the bug. It didn't go away by making tha table smaller, just after restarting starscaption.

I don't know what can be a reason, but I think it maybe because of maximized table.
Let me know if it happens again.

I purchased today starscaption since I can throw my starshelper license out of window with the aurora update. So far it looks to have anything what starshelper offered.

However, I had today a very annoying bug. I play zoom and at some point at 1 table I can´t press any buttons in the stars client anymore. It just happens at 1 table, other tables are fine. When it happened the first time I timed out because I could not press the call or raise button. I thought maybe it has something to do with aurora.

But when it happened the 2nd time, I immediately closed starscaption and I was able to press buttons in the stars client again. So it has definitely something to do with starscaption. Any idea what it could be?

It happened several times today. Not sure when it exactly happens, but I had the feeling that it happens when I win a big pot (I auto sit-out when my stack gets bigger than 150bb).

Figured it out. In options "Sit out next hand if stack more than x bb" and "Sit out next BB if stack more than x bb" have to be un-selected. If one of them is selected this bug occurs.

It still happens. Way less frequently than before since I deactivated the above 2 mentioned options. Before it was happening every 3-4 mins and now it happens like every 20-30 mins. Any chance that you take a look into it? Would appreciate your help.

LikeAA,

I like the table cropped without any title bar.
I can do so in stars caption.. but then, how do i move the tables if they cant be dragged ? thanks

Kockar, I haven't watched it yet since I've been working on 888Caption lately (there is a fully new 888 lobby released recently and 888Caption doesn't work with it at all).
After that I will work on the new version of StarsCaption.

But I still think this is an isolated problem - no one else has complained about this except you. I will try to reproduce this problem, but if I fail, then I will need your help in solving this problem.

There are two ways:
1. Options / Moving tables holding Left+Right mouse button - table can be moved by simultaneously pressing the left and right mouse buttons anywhere on the table.
2. HUD / Table panels / OnClick / Move the table - with it you can move table by any HUD panel.

Im sick of blowing cash hitting enter trying to chat on Stars with Aurora. Can you disable the enter key or set it to do something benign? Perhaps then another button or hotkey could then be used to change that or act as a enter for chat or notes.

Thanks!

Is there a tag in StarsCaption that shows a hand strength? (similar to [handStrength] tag from PartyCaption)

Perhaps I just change it as a hotkey. Would be nice to have a hot key that I could hold to disable change of Enter to some other hotkey action.

Ok I'll try to think how to implement it.
For now I can't detect there is a keyboard focus in Aurora table - in chat, note editor or in bet box, so I can't made a specific option for this how it was done for old graphics engine.
Maybe I'll add some indirect ways to block it (for example Enter will work on a table only if this table has a focus more than 5 seconds) - but I'm not sure if it helps in all possible situations.

I upgraded to version 2.04 (heard that 2.05 wasn't functioning well with latest update) and still have same issues.

If you need geometric bet size, try these formulas:

Geometric over 3 streets: x(((2*effStack/pot+1)^(1/3)-1)/2)
Geometric over 2 streets: x(((2*effStack/pot+1)^(1/2)-1)/2)

Hi
It depends on a poker client version you have now. There is no easy way to know what version do you have, so just try v2.04 and v2.05, one of them should work.
Also check if partypoker client is configured to run as admin (and PartyCaption too).
