Zandry´s "Last Activity: 11-25-2015" on his own forum Tablescanturbo.com. Yes, i think TST is dead.

Do you know some alternative ?

He just told me hes working on an update.

not that i don't believe you, but i'd be less skeptical if he posted himself.

this should just convert to subscription with 1 year gratis period for old license owners...

Its not working for Partypoker for me anymore.

That was one of the best programs i ever used. Everything worked really good. Always fast updates.

Why abandon it? Maybe make a yearly subscrition out of it, if you can't afford the support of it.

It is a great program. Also, previously Zandry was very helpful with me. I don't know what has happened but the sad fact is this program is not supported any longer.

one of the best softwares i have used , im willing to pay for a sub but watching the comments here discourage me , i hope the developer will change his mind.

Is this software replaceable?

Just asked him on skype aswell and he just said yes. So lets hope its soon

Can the people who talk to him on Skype please ask why he can't just come in this thread, or the TST forums and just very quickly explain his absence or plans for the future of TST? There are a lot of people who have paid for this product and aren't particularly happy that it's seemingly just been abandoned. It wouldn't be too bad if we actually knew what was happening.

Tablescan turbo was really a very usefull tool for many years.

Sorry guys that I will dissapoint you, but this type of software (scanning a lobby by moving the cursor from top to button and read player's names from the right frame) is already dead. That's why all other tools like this, like Table Shark and Tablescanner are already officially abandoned

PartyPoker, FullTilt , Microgaming network and Merge network have already changed their poker lobby softare in a way that any software working like TablescanTurbo impossible to run there .
Don't post and ask for TST support on those networks. It is impossible.

Those networks have officialy banned TST and any other tool like this.

They did it to stop bumhunting and protect weak players. This change will never revert.

So we have only 888, Ipoker and Pokerstars left.

The time of Zandry dissapearence was not random. It was when Pokerstars announced that they plan to make changes to their software in the future, and make table selection also impossible, like they have already done on Full tilt.

Those changes are going to be forced soon on pokerstars, and the latest is in 2017. Tablescanturbo is still working on current pokerstars client but it will not be for long.

So we have only 2 networks left, 888 and Ipoker

Ipoker created a new windows 8 style client so all the TST code for Ipoker is useless.

And 888 has upgraded its client and TST doesn't work there anymore.

It is obvious that Zandry will not appear ever again.

If he appears then he has to choose between a) and b)

a) say that he decided to stop supporting the software. But some people will attack him saying that he violates the client license rules, so he doesn't like to say this! That's why he preferred to don't even start the discussion

b) continue supporting the project and write a new code for the new Ipoker client, and change code for 888 to work o the new client. But he doesn't look happy to spend time doing this and to support a TST version working only on 888 and ipoker.

The probablility of b) ti happen is very small, close to zero. Don't hope for it

Personally I'm thankfull to Zandry because his tool helped me to make much more profits than 1000 times the money I paid to buy TST. I don't expect anything more from him . His tool offered already much more than it's price to everybody bought it

I just say "Thanks Zandry ! " and don't expect anything more from him


And I just understand the new situation. I respect his decision to dissapear. It is very reasonable.


Some people ask why he is still selling it while he is not suporting it.

Yes, he is still selling it because the tool is still works on Pokerstars. Somebody could want to pay for it, buy it now , use it on Pokerstars while it still works there and make much more money that the money he paid to buy it in just a single day.

TST is currently working on Pokerstars only. It will continue workig there until pokerstars will make the next changes to prohibited software policy, and block table selection. It is announced, it is going to happen. And then TST will be completely dead forever.

Goodbye Tablescan turbo,
Goodbye Zandry and good luck to everything else you are doing in your life
And thanks a lot for supporting the tool all those years.
Buying it was the best investment I ever did in poker

If that's the case he might as well release the code so the community can maintain it till it's not possible any more.

He will not release or sell the code for free because:

-there are currenlty many commercial and not commercial cash game seating scripts requiring from the user to own tablescan turbo to be able to work, only as a table opener tool.

Currenlty all seating scripts available except Hiroku, require from the user to buy TST to use it only as a table opener!

They configure tablescan turbo to don't do any table selection, to don't connect to HM2 and dont detect any fish etc, but to just open all the tables it can find in the lobby, where the user has put filters for stakes and he has HIDE FULL TABLES option on

So TST opens all the tables on the lobby where a seat is available.

Then the seating script decides if there is a fish or not on the table marked with green color , and takes a Jesus seat on it if available

People who use seating scripts continue buying tablescanturbo only for this purpose, and they don't care at all if it works for the purpose it was created (as a table selection tool) or not!

So the author does't have to update it to be able to sell it to seating script users, because the don't care about it's real table selection functionallity, they just need a tool to open the tables

-it is still working on pokerstars. We don't know the exact date when Pokerstars will disable table selection and he still can sell it to new pokerstars players who want to use it for next months while it is still availiable.

And I guess he will not update the code any more (if he does it will be a big positive surprise ) because:

Because the only remaining poker networks allowing table selection , after Pokerstars new rules take place next year, will be Ipoker and 888, all other big poker networks and rooms have disabled table selection.

Ipoker in 2016 has few tables on each stake and very few people want to use a tool like TST there.

The code of the new ipoker windows 8 client is completely new. He should rewrite all the code to support ipoker and that's not easy.

ANd the customer basis who could want to buy tablescan turbo for ipoker is very small and it doesn't worth the effort.

888 is cancelling their rakeback program at the end of the month, focusing to recreational players only, and replace the rakeback with missions. So we will not have many heavy volume cash grinders there any more. They try to be as much unfriedly to professional players as they can, and focus to recreational players.

Also it is very possible that after Pokerstars disable table selection next year, both Ipoker and 888 (the only remaining big poker networks allowing it) will follow and then no poker room will exist where somehting like TST could run


And there is something more: Hiroku script , with a miimum subscription of 100$ per month, is currently the ultimate table selection tool for 100 NL and higher stakes and TST has not any chance to compete it. Hiroku uses a completely different technology than TST , so it can work on networks have prohibited TST, like MPN . Hiroku doesn't need TST to run!

So TST already has lost all the possible customers from 100NL and higher for ever, from Hiroku script. That's another reason that nobody would ever be interested working on TST commercially again. All other similar projects like Table Shark and Tablescanner are abandoned for similar reasons


Of course I would like to have TST updated also, but on this post and on my previous post above, I just explain to the users wondering what is going to happen with TST, what har really happened, and that there is no hope or there is very little hope to see any update again, or to get the code for free, or to see it sold to another company or anything else. It looks like that he will continue to make money selling TST to anybody want to use it just as a table opener for the next years, and he will not support any more the full functionallity TST was designed for.

Stop letting your friend post! Zandry!
Get some balls! Support your software.

Let me quote Hiroku script website:
So also Hiroku script does not do the job TST does. In fact, as TableScanner2 from HEM is also not for sale at the moment, TST is the only table opening tool out there.


I agree with you tho, don't think Zandry will show up again for given reasons.

I don't know where fountouris got his list of working sites from. TST works just fine on WPN.

Ok, I m adding WPN to the list then.

So here is an updated list of the sites where TST is currently working :

Pokerstars , WPN

And here is the list after pokerstars will apply the second round of changes to their software policy, disabling table selection tools:

WPN

So if someone updates TST writing a new code to support the new ipoker client and fix the code for 888, the list will be:

WPN, 888, ipoker,

...if wpn ipoker and 888 dont change their lobbies to stop table selection tools also.

In my opinion this list it is not big enough to make anobody to want to maintain and sell future versions of TST , while TST , at a time where most new customers are buying TST only as a table opener for seating scripts. Some people could disagree with this, but this is the reality of table selection in the year 2016 and of course Zandry is the guy who makes the decisions on updating. Table selection in the year 2009 was great, but things changes.

So no update comming soon for 888poker?

Interesting posts fountouris.

I wrote to support@tablescanturbo.com and get TST update which should work on 888poker. So Steve is working on a update!

I just used TST on 888 yesterday and it worked fine

I found it on a one Russian poker forum.

any idea how to stop the lobby blinking/flashing
