Hey guys,

I have been doing Python coding projects for the past few months and decided to do a Javascript project to help all players on Global Poker out be able to play a little easier.


It is an open-source Google Chrome extension content script for buying into tables quickly, automating tiling, and hotkeys for betting/checking/calling/folding. Currently the pre-select actions for calling/folding/etc are not written but I plan to get to that next.


I will probably add it to the Google Store (free) if Global Poker approves of it. I plan on emailing them soon with an approval request. Currently you have to:

- Download the clone from https://github.com/5starkarma/global-poker-addons
- Go to chrome://extensions in your chrome browser
- Click "load unpacked" and browse to the directory of the clone


I would like to not that this is NOT a seating script. It will not find tables for you. You have to open the tables on your own. When you open a table the script will immediately sit at the table and tile all the tables on your screen. You only have to click the table you want to join and the buy-in option and you will be ready to play. No need to click the seat and configure your tables on your screen.

From there the software has a few hotkeys that work when your player actions pop-up. Q is fold. E is call/check. D is bet. ArrowUp is to select the bet-input box so that you can change your bet size. Currently, you have to click on the window you want to use the hotkey on as I haven't found an easy way (w/o using a different language) of focusing the windows. These feature was deprecated in many browsers along the way. I will add more features and hotkeys later. This was all I was able to do since yesterday.

In the future I plan to add some table and card mod code-injections that pay tribute to Full Tilt and PS pre-black friday as well. If anyone does graphic design and wants to get together on this to make it look really smooth that would be awesome.

Also, if you code JS feel free to contribute to this project.

Notes

Why are you doing this?

My goal is to learn more coding skills and help players at global poker not have sore fingers at the end of the day. Being that Global Poker is written in a "client-side" language I am sure there are many players who already use this type of stuff and more - I want to help level the playing field for other players all-the-while making the user experience a little better.

Will you be making a HUD that works with GP?

No. Against ToS. Also, I am really big on ethics. An extra dollar is not worth feeling like you robbed people for the rest of your life.

Will you be working on a bot for GP?

No. Unethical.

Any suggestions? Feel free to leave them here or contact me through my GitHub.

Let us know if GP approves

Looks cool at the moment. It would help me... but it would also help my opponents... hmmm

Good job and good luck.

Side note- Global needs to tell all players what software is legal/illegal. This is an important issue.

They told me in August via email that they were trying to prevent or limit the activity of betscripts, but wouldn't penalize for it. Most people don't know that and it could be giving other players an unfair advantage.

Global wants to have an image that they don't allow any software whatsoever, but at the same time allows it.

I think most players would agree that having a betscript doesn't give someone a big advantage in a particular game, but it could give a player an advantage in the number of games being played, which is essential if you must compete vs. other regs.

It may improve players hands/hour by ~25% but I would doubt much more than that. One thing it does that works against regs is it uses the "join" button so that you do not get to pick your seat. With this tool there would be less bum-hunting - not much, but to some degree, likely negligible.

I am positive that there is a lot of worse things on Global Poker that a betscript. This software just cuts out the need to move a mouse around the screen as much. As of now it doesn't apply bets, it only clicks the buttons.

They sure do need to release an "approved software list" like all other poker sites. That being said they really can't stop much and being a browser based site is asking for bots and cheaters.

Agreed that it won't give a big advantage. All it does is make it a little more enjoyable to play and be able to focus on your game rather than clicking the mouse on the correct box.

The idea is to make playing on GP fun like adding mods. I did one injection today with a Full Tilt table and it looked fun. It actually almost lined up perfectly.

Thanks for the love.

It could allow a sng player to play 8 tables instead of his normal 6. That would mean a lower roi for the reg who isn't using it, since he will now have more regs at each table.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be allowed, but the rules on software use should be transparent.

Totally agree. Also, they should not restrict use of such software but rather cut the table limit down to 4 like Bovada if they want to stop mass-tablers. Just my 2c. We will see what they say. Hopefully they give approval on simple software like this as long as people come out and ask for approval.

Yah, you are probably right. I would prefer like 6 tables max for everything or something similar. Bovada has a good plan too.

Added a list of future features I am hopeful to get around to. Will continue to update list as ideas come up. Some of these features I may or may not add.

Future features..

-Toggle extension on/off
-Table and card mods
-Pre-select fold buttons
-Mouse over table focus
-highlight text under mouse of current table
-Auto-rebuy under X bb
-No more blinds hotkey
-sit out next hand
-Winnings/Losses Graph display inside Hand History tab
-Save last hand link in extension for later review hotkey
-Hotkey for summing table balances across all tables and bank and displaying in Alert window

Quickly added feature today:

-high text under mouse of current table

This feature has two functions. When your mouse is over a table the bets and other text will be white as normal. As soon as your mouse leaves the table the bet text and other text will turn gray. This makes the "active table" stand out just slightly.

Played around with it, made table under mouse text red and others white but this seems more subtle. I will also add an option to toggle this feature on/off within the extension popup.

If you have suggestions about this feature or any other feature please leave comments/suggestions.

Features added today:

- It now clicks the "buy-in" button after grabbing a seat. Now all a player has to do is find the table they wish to join and open it - from there the program will tile tables, join, and buy-in.

- "SpaceBar" hotkey for opening replay of previous hand. After the pot is pushed and the "Share Hand" button appears, press the spacebar and it will open the last hand's URL in another tab. This is great for saving hands to review later. Will probably add some sort of notebook to save the links as text in the extension popup later on.

are you able to change the default raise size to 2.5x?

Do you think you will add HH downloader? Also, is there a way to set the hotkeys to your own preference?

Thanks.

Yes. Today I will work on adding the "w" hotkey to insert text of 2.5 x the big blind into the betbox. Tomorrow I will most likely start adding customizing features into the "popup" that appears when you click the extension logo.

Please leave any comments/suggestions so I can get a feel of what people want.

Any update on this?

Request email was sent. They responded with an email that said they will forward to the appropriate team. Then they closed the ticket out. I believe they just don't want to address it directly.

I am submitting some code in the next 15 minutes with a feature that inputs the text of "2.5 * bb" into the bet input field. This will be changed later on to be customizable - as well as customizable hotkeys.

Even though I submitted this code it does not function correctly. It puts the bb*2.5 in the bet-input box but it doesnt change the underlying value for some reason. I need to figure out how to resolve this issue. Will update when solved.

bump. thank you for creating this!

can global please get back on whether or not we're able to use extensions that aid us on quality of life amenities for playing? it's not our fault the site is stuck in 2008 when it comes to functionality

They changed the rules on the sites rules page. It now specifically points towards HH downloaders and trackers being prohibited but does not say 'all software' is banned anymore. Nothing about use of this software. I am not sure if it is allowed or not. Therefore, I can't recommend using it.

Also, busy playing and doing work off the felt at the moment so I won't be working on this any time soon.

seems like a gray area here:
2.1.7. You shall not be involved in any fraudulent, collusive, fixing or other unlawful activity in relation to your or third parties’ participation in any of the Games and you shall not use any software-assisted methods or techniques (including but not limited to bots or poker-bots designed to play automatically) or hardware devices for your participation in any of the Games. We reserve the right to invalidate any participation in the event of such behaviour.

The language is ambiguous by design. This way they can say just about anything is not allowed if they choose.

How Do I use this ? I need an explanation like a 5 year old lol

Same...

Anyone know where Global auto rebuy feature is? Can't seem to find it

nm I found it, It's under settings on the actual table

Any updates on anyone being banned or a global reply for using this?
