I just dowloaded PSC yesterday and have this same problem/complaint.

Without PSC running and the FT software set to "Display table on action" the tables pop up instantly, but with PSC running and FT "display table on action" disabled I have the same 1-3 second delay before the table gets activated with the red border and the bet amount gets entered.

I also have a reoccuring problem where if I click on a non-active table, PSC sometimes looses the queue and I end up having to manually click on all of the tables with pending action 1 by 1 until I get caught up and then PSC seems to start working properly again.

FYI, I play 16 tables on FT in a combination stacked/tiled arrangment with 9 tabled tiled with overlap and another 6 tables tiled on top of the original 9.

Thanks,
Rob

I played my first session with Poker Shortcuts on Stars and have some feedback:

A "Move mouse below to chat" tooltip was constantly being displayed in the lower left corner of the tables. Annoying.

A feature that automatically opens the info tab and automatically refreshes it every couple of seconds on all visible tables is definitely necessary for multi table / SNG tournaments (to know what position you are, how many players are left, blind level increase etc). I ended up finishing my session using TableNinja because of this.

I was not able to increase my bet by 1 small blind increment with the mousewheel at high blind levels (approx. big blind 400 and up).

Hi Nano,
PSC are much more bedder than FTS and you added some options that will make my sessions much easyier tyvm for this.

But i testet in a short session and FTP hang up and vista64 close FTPclient if PSC close tables via HH closing, i use PT3 and i test it soon with HEM.

As promised... after a three hour testing.

Again to reiterate, if you are only playing one site at a time, cascading, tiling, or stacking all work fine.

I am running:

PT2/PAHUD (cause I didn't want to mess up my HEM just yet)
Quad Core, 4G, XP
Full Ring cash tables only
I am seated on both sites in Seat #5, bottom center

In short, overlap appears to be OK. The "trick" is to not overlap your own box....though I suspect it really is.... do not overlap you hole cards.

You can encroach each table from left/right and top/bottom and as long as your hole cards are visible, overlap worked perfectly.

I had occaisional problems with a pending table being usurped by another. This only occurred as I started adding more and more tables to the mix. This started to show up after:

I set up four tables across (stars-FT-stars-FT) where the hole cards for the middle tables were visible.....all worked well. I then added a FT table tiled behind the middle table. This also worked well. When I added a tiled stars table behind the middle stars.... about once every 15 minutes, a pending table would lose focus to another. Not really too bad, but if it happens at "the wrong time".......

Then I started messing around with different groupings and placements. I found that I could true cascade with intermixed sites. Again the pending table focus happened about once every 15 minutes. When I stacked all 8 tables I had going, the pending table focus occurred at a much higher frequency. However even here, if I just slowed down my play and took a few seconds with each decision, this problem almost disappeared.

Summary: Some overlap is perfectly fine.

I haven't noticed this at all. To me, PSC and FTSC work at the same speed.

FYI - That blue color is impossible to read for me on the Slick forum theme. I prefer to break up the reply to a quoted post, with more [quote] tags, and answer the 're-quoted' questions when I answer posts.

I will continue to use blue and additionally, start poking you in the other eye.

Right back atcha LOL

sweet!

thanks for the great new software nano!
I am having a little trouble with buyin on stars, I have everything calbrated correctly, however it will not hit OK on the buyin screen despite it being checked under the dialogs section.

also : it does not correctly recognize the number of bbs, it does something with relation to the pot size.

hello,guys
i want know ,which table themes can be used on pokerstars?is black theme available?
and i am using autopot,so can i just using mouse to finish all the fuctions with this software?
thx!!!

CLIFF NOTES:
1) If some performance testing and improvements could be made in the "activate current table under mouse" or "activate next table" areas at the code side, it would enhance the user experience A LOT for me!
2) It seemed to me that the option "Also (if above is checked) auto-activate the table under mouse" (which is the last child option under the third strategy to activate next table from stack and move mouse to home - which I have both selected) is broken or doesn't do anything on my comp.
3) A new option to "auto-click ok in get chips window only if you manually clicked the get chips PSC shortkey" would be perfect for me, but if it's not helpful for others I can live without it and click the OK manually.
4) A new option to "do not move the get chips window upward ~150px" would take away the wasted 1-3 seconds (because the moving is not instantaneous) and the missclicks that happen when I try to hit the buttons in their original location .


LONG post below:

But how would you know which table is going to be the next one to be auto-activated from the stack and what's the point to have "auto-activate next from stack" option if you are picking the next table manually every time anyway? If like 4 out of my 8 tables have action buttons visible, then I just have to wait 2 seconds to see which table get's activated.

Anyway, If some performance testing and improvements could be made in the "activate next table" and "activate current table under mouse" areas at the code side, it would enhance the user experience A LOT for me!

You are not using the last child-option "Also (if above is checked) auto-activate the table under mouse". But my comment was only about this last child-option - it seems like this option is broken for me. I would like to use that because by the description it seems to be exactly what I need.

I play FTP only. I play deep tables a lot, my initial is 100bb, 50% of times I want top it up to 200bb and then when stack get's shorter, top it up again. Current available options don't allow me to seat select without buying in and also be able to quickly top up to 200bb without having to manually click ok (which is worsened by the point (4) below). A new option to "auto-click ok in get chips window only if you manually clicked the get chips PSC shortkey" would solve this for me. Whitout that I will leave the "auto-click OK" to off and keep manually pressing it and it would be no problem if I could turn off point (4) below.

That's the point, I cant/don't want to use the current "auto-click ok in get chips" option because that would always buy me in when coming from waiting list and it will take me 5-45 seconds to go through other pending tables first before I get to check out this new table to see if I'm in a good seat and if my "friend" is still there. By that time I could already be in the BB and if I then notice that the table is poor and I want to leave (or jump back into the waiting list) then I have to play 6 hands on the table before getting seated out on next BB, waisting time, screen space and effort that could already go into a new better table.

A very small option to "do not move the get chips window upward ~150px" would solve the issues (3) and (4).

It seems that I have to untick "Automatically put the street bet..." on the Street Bet Trny tab everytime I start the Poker Shortcuts. It doesn't remember my setting and it's always checked when I start it.

Classic and Hyper-Simple currently, but PSC has built in functionality making it possible for anyone to add support to any theme, including custom themes like I make. It will require NanoChip or someone else to capture all the screen shots, and create the new associated INI file for that theme. It is no small undertaking, but it is certainly doable.

fozzy71,thank you

Thank you for letting me know... I was able to duplicate this problem and I will have it fixed in the next release.

nano

For the clicking the ok on buyin... make sure that you have this set in the main lobby:
menu View...click on Text Size...select "Largest".

Please give me more info on the bb issue... What feature are you referring to? Fixed Bets?

Hello Annuit,
I believe that Full Tilt is having a problem with their client software crashing occasionally. It is being discussed in this thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...itself-476171/

Played a session earlier today on Stars using Poker Shortcuts and Holdem Manager HUD.
The problem I was experiencing is a little hard to describe.
I use a setup of 4 stacks with 4 tables each. It seemed like the HUD of the tables behind the top tables would flash for a few milliseconds every couple of seconds. It was driving me a little crazy. The problem ceased when I closed Poker Shortcuts.
When you make a setup like mine:
STACK1 STACK2
STACK3 STACK4
(each stack with 4 tables each)
and then save that layout in Stars and load the layout by checking/unchecking Stars' custom layout thing a couple of times. It's like it scans through all the tables or something.
This is what it constantly looks like with Poker Shortcuts running.
I don't know if this is related or the effect just looks similar.
Any idea what this could be?
Has anybody experienced something similar with a similar setup?

So to clarify, in stacked setups, Poker Shortcuts cannot automatically click the time bank on PokerStars on the tables that aren't on top? I thought that was what you needed an auto time bank clicker for?!

PSC has to see the time button to click it (on pokerstars), so it can't click it if it is under an active table. timeouthelper reads the HH and can tell if hero is sitting it, and sit him back in if he has timed-out.
