Hi,

In starscaption what is the formula do raise 3.5BB over limpers with antes? I don´t want the +1 BB for additional limper, I´ll do that manually...

And what is the formula to 3bet someone 3x the amount that player made when he opened?

I play tournaments and I´ve made a research but they aren´t working correctly for me.

Thanks.

Hi
In games with ante, there is no easy way to set different formulas for open raise and isolate. You can mix them to a single formula as descrbed in formula examples, and thus try to customize what you need.

What openraise size should be in the same situation, but without limpers?
If you use 2.5bb openraise and 3.5bb isolate, then it can be 2.5bb+pot-bb-sb-antes
If you use 3bb openraise and 3.5bb isotlate, then it can be 3bb+(pot-bb-sb-antes)*0.5
etc.

@LikeAA @PartyCaption Could you explain what the Options-> Test Options settings are for please?

Also: Lately, writing notes has become very difficult, as the table keeps stealing focus while I'm trying to write them, I don't remember this being such a big problem before, maybe I've changed some setting, but I don't know which one could be affecting this, ay ideas?

@LikeAA Sorry, couldn't edit previous post, it was settings in Party itself that were stealing the focus. I've turned them off now.

If everything works well, then in most cases you do not need to touch these options.
I can recommend changing some of these options if something is not working correctly. There is no detailed description of these options, although some of them are described on the site.

@LikeAA thanks, I was just curious more than anything else. The only issue I've had, and which seems to have improved a lot since I reduced my table size from 120% to 100% size is that sometimes clicking bet or bet hotkey doesn't always work the first time, but I don't know if any of those settings has an affect on that or not.

I'm having a couple issues with the table manager 2. It seems to be finnicky lately. For some reason there's some overscan or something going on and it is shifting some of my table layout slightly right, so the right table (I have 2 zoom 1 monitor, and a smaller replayer same monitor) overlaps the second monitor to my right and the left table is offset about an inch to the right from the top left corner of my screen.

This is a pain, but isnt the main issue.

When I go to try and reset the layout, I delete the three saved positions, resize the tables and replayer and then go add open to save it. However, when I do this, caption sometimes will flip my tables, and switch one of my two main zoom tables with my replayer. Then I have a one normal size zoom table, a normal table sized replayer and a small replayer sized zoom table. This is a pain and I'm not sure why wants to reorganize my tables when I save layouts. It doesn't always do this but it is a pain when it does.

Lastly, one other issue I'm having, but I'm not sure if it is related to caption at all. I have 3 monitors, basically set up in triangle formation on a stand. The bottom two that are side by side are the main ones, and the one in the middle above is generally peripheral. I usually have the top one set as my main display, because I unplug the other two and plug them into my work laptop during the week. For some reason, lately, when I have the top monitor as the main display, pokerstars tables won't open anywhere. I click join zoom, and they popup, and disappear. I can see them in the toolbar, but when I click on them, they don't popup on any monitor, even if I minimize every open program. Once I switch, in PC settings, the main display to bottom left monitor, they will popup. I have no idea why this is? Could it be caption related?

Sorry, I don't know what could be the reason for this.

Hi
1. I do not know what could be the reason, but it may have something to do with two other problems.
Are all your monitors the same, do they have the same resolution and scaling?
2. Do you use separate slot for replayer (Options / Replayer slot / Active), or you have Handle by Table manager enabled there?
3. StarsCaption knows nothing about monitors and their positions. It uses global desktop coordinates, that is, these are continuous coordinates relative to the upper left corner of the main monitor. If you turn off the main monitor, then after that some of the slots will be outside the screen in the new coordinate system.
You shouldn't use the same configs for different monitor configurations. Create one config for three-monitor configuration and another config for two-monitor configuration, and switch them if you use 2 or 3 monitors.

Hi
Yes you can use native chips to bb if you want (if you have the latest version of 888Caption), although I recommend to use this option in 888Caption.

By default Convert chips option is disabled in 888Caption. If you have it enabled, then turn it off on the Convert chips tab.

@LikeAA I've already asked for this more than an year ago but here it goes
would it be possible to add a rule for table felt color at table highlight?

Also, is there any way of acessing a stack by seat position variable? Something like [seat1_stack_bb] .

Been an year, love starscaption

Just added in StarsCaption v0.80

Also now you can configure different highlight rules for Frame, Filling and Felt.

I'm not finding it on Starscaption so here's a suggestion. Sit out next bb/hand when X amount of hands played in a session or by session time.

Is it possible to have an option to make the bet box not automatically post by pressing Enter? Like type in the bet box and then click on Bet Button?

It is impossible to make notes ingame while having an active bet box - so many misclicks make you bet or even raise in spots you don't want to. Even when typing on another table.
