Thanks for that, appreciated.

Another question. Can Table ninja be made to take a pre-determind action.

For example, can you tell it that when there are 10 players at the table and you are 1st or 2nd to act and have hole cards that are both lower than 9 and unpaired to automatically fold?

If not then are there any programs permitted by pokerstars that can.

nP

Are you trying to become a live bot??

What you are suggesting is an automatic program to play poker for you, which is definitely prohibited by Pokerstars.

No, Tableninja is not capable of that

Great, glad to hear it

I haven't asked Stars directly about this feature, but my guess is that it would not be allowed by them. The prohibit most table selection tools and tools that follow specific players (spadeye, 6th sense, etc).

We are planning on adding these kind of things soon. Stack sizes in # of BB will come first and we will go from there. We actually have a prototype version with a fair amount of this working already but we want to make some performance improvements before we release these features because all the additional drawing takes a fair amount more resources when you have 30+ tables.

I think we could do this. I've added it to my list.

Responded to your email.

We release version 1.1.23.0 yesteday to fix this problem which was caused by yesterdays PokerStars update. TableNinja *should* be giving you a warning in big red letters at startup notifying you that you need to update to the latest version.

So far version 1.1.23.0 has fixed this problem for everyone so download it and give it a try.

We've worked hard to maintain a good relationship with stars and we never add features that might violate their terms of service. Because of this as the poster below showed you we are officially on the "permitted programs" list from PokerStars.

As other posters mentioned this would definitely not be allowed by PokerStars and is not something we would ever provide.

Thanks guys,

Tarath

I don't know if you're familiar with the way it worked with FT Shortcuts. You made the list on your own (by hand). It only contained the names of players you would rather not play with. No stats, nothing but the names.
I would be surprised if they had a problem with it.
Anyway, I'd instabuy if TableNinja had that feature. FT TableNinja too.

I know it would not be allowed if the programe did it for you but what if you told it specifically. Like if you said every time I am first to speak PF and my cards are 2C 3S for example, to automatically fold or pre-select fold if your in a later possition. Your still making the exact decision yourself but again saving time.

copy/paste my previous entry, fwiw

Is table ninja work with a custom theme with very unusual buttons ?

I'll email and ask PokerStars but I am reasonably sure that almost any kind of automated table selection is a no-go even if you are just entering a list of playes to avoid. If you want to email Stars and put some pressure on them they definitely are more receptive to player feedback. Let me know what they say.

Yeah unfortunately any tool that reads your cards and does specific things based on the cards you hold is definitely out of the question.

If the buttons or fonts are unusual it is very unlikely that TableNinja will work.

Sorry guys,

Tarath

I just have a small feature request for the SNG opener:

just to have the 'Run Minutes' timer stop when you are left in no tables as opposed to when it finishes registering in your last one. Cause that is not a real representation of how long the session was, just how long it took to reg in everything but after your last reg you are likely gonna be playing another 30+ minutes and the number is off.

Also, just wanted to report since I unchecked ''Don't pass on right click'' - I indeed have not had a taskbar lockup.

and I haven't had any spaz folding lately, could be a coincidence though.

That should be a pretty managable request to accomodate, I'll add it to our list. Our other user with the spaz folding problem also reported that it hasn't happened to him in the last thousand or so tourneys but he also bought a new xbox controller so its hard to say for sure which would be the cause.

Keep me posted and I'm glad we have the right click thing figured out. We plan to fix the problem permanently as part of the next major update.

Thanks for your help as always,

Tarath

Hey Tarath - quick feature request:

Would it be easy to add a "load only empty tables" feature to the SNG opener? I opften want to use the opener but it makes game selection tricky when you're trying to avoid other regs. If it was possible to only join empty games, that would be really cool. Don't know how complicated this would be to implement but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Cheers!

Whoops scratch that on the no spam-folding, just had it occur twice in an hour. Im gonna try a different controller and see if thats the issue.

Do you know what key mapper the other person(s) was who was having the problem? Was it by chance pinnacle game profiler? Or was he using PT3?

He is using Xpadder + Xbox 360 controller + HEM

Tarath

This would be possible for us to add, but it would require a fair amount of work and would slow things down a bit.

You can usually do a pretty good job of only registering for empty tournaments by doing the following.

1) Sort the lobby by "Enrolled" so that empty tournaments are on top
2) Make sure that sorting optimization if turned off in TableNinja on the Sit-n-Go Opener tab
3) Set the "Max per Cycle" to approximately the number of empty tournaments that are there at a given time

Give that a try and see how it works. I think you can probably end up almost always registering for empty tournaments if you give it a shot.

hope this helps,

Tarath

today I used TN for the first time after changing my os (win7 aero)
but mouse cursor is slowed down and sometimes it paused (regardless of pokerstars client's existence)
If I turn it off, It's normalized. cpu usage is not high. and my computer is almost brand new

TableNinja is really designed to run on Vista/Windows 7 Aero so this is surprising.

Does your new computer have microsoft onecare on it?

Tarath

I use "Microsoft Security Essentials" real time protection
Turning off the option, it works fine now

thanks, Tarath

Quick question... I recently moved back to my desktop, and as I was setting up my layouts I noticed at around 7 tables Table Ninja would lag out and need to be shut down. My computer during beta testing of the program ran anywhere from 12-20 tables fine, but I never stacked and ran HEM, which is what I'm attempting to do now.

In setup I switched it to stacked and it would maybe pick up two more before the problem again reared its ugly head. So, I eventually turned off the frames and viola back to being lag free. My question is.. Is there any known reason for why this may be happening? and if there's an easy fix because I really do enjoy the frames.

Thanks.

Edit: The desktop is running XP.

Yeah for some reason Windows 7 and the microsoft security essentials don't like the way we read mouse input (we use built in Win32 tools so you'd think they wouldn't mind). We're working on handling this, but for now some of the real time protection stuff can cause lag.

If you want a free real time antivirus protection tool avast is great and free and 100% compatible with TableNinja.

One of our big goals for the next update is to reduce the resource usage of the frames. Right now though Stars, TableNinja and HEM each make a separate window for each table and so if your 10 tabling you actually have 30 windows running around (the HEM and TableNinja windows are invisible) which can be a problem, particularly if you don't have a lot of RAM.

I'm hopeful that the next update will improve things, but for now if you want to play a lot of tables on an older machine you usually need to turn off frames unless you have a nice graphics card or something.

Tarath

is it possible to add on screen pot odds with the percentage? (ugh more things on my screen)

for instance, if it's 1000 chips to call into a pot of 2000 could it say like 2:1 (33%) in a splash screen?

i know hem does this for some poker sites, but not stars

I bought the program and it's great! Quick question though. I apologize in advance if this has already been asked. I play over 13 tables playing cash games. When I decide to sit out, to take a minute break, I would press "Sit out next hand all tables". However when I decide to play again, I would have to individually uncheck the auto post blinds from each table that has that option before I press the "Sit out next hand all tables" so I won't post the big blind in the cutoff, UTG, button, etc. Is there a way I could set up Table Ninja so I could just press a button so that I won't have to individually uncheck the auto post blinds? Thanks in advance.

You sound like another supporter of the "shark list" feature for autoregging SnGs that I suggested a few posts back.

Thanks for looking into this Tarath. Would be great if TableNinja had it in the near future - if Stars allows it of course.


Another feature request:
Could you add a feature that puts a thick red (or preferably customizable) border around the table when there are X players left sitting at the table.
For 9 man SnGs, I'd set that number to 4. That way the red border would tell me it is the payout bubble and I need to pay extra attention. For double or nothing SnGs or other types of tournaments with different payout structures people could change the number to the appropriate value.
(It may even be useful in full ring cash games to alarm you that the table is likely to break up soon so you can uncheck auto post blinds)

Wouldn't this be solved just by checking the "Never sit out" option when returning to the computer? I only play sng's so if cash has special features that doesn't make this work i have no idea

I would rather have that the table moved to a new position in my screen (love to see that TN now has table moving hotkeys) automatically when reaching a certain stack level, blind level or # of players left.

To illustrate. I maximaze all windows in one stack in the middle of the screen when starting up. If I double up I move that table to the left (play only if KK+). If I tripple I move it left and down (don't play no more). If I'm desperately short I move it to the right and down (find a decent enough spot and move AI). For AI situations I move the table up or down in the middle to follow the outcome. I know this guy (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/36...pstars-540701/) is writing a script to do just that these days... but would rather just have it in TN.
