OK, you've got the "auto sit" thing down. Nice. What I can't seem to get Ninja to do is automatically check "wait for big blind" then select "auto-post blinds" once the BB comes to me. I.e. I don't want to have to click anything when I sit down until I have a bet decision.
Also, hitting the "fold" key does not seem to check the "fold" checkbox when it is not my turn (AHK betpot does this and I'm somewhat used to it).
Lastly, I'm used to the mouse betting functions of AHK. I'm not sure I can pay money for something that requires this much change in habits. I mean this as no criticism of TableNinja -- it looks very nice.
If you really want to expand market share (you may not -- perhaps you just want to make something useful for yourself and then earn some $$ from other people who like it) you should make an BetPot AHK compatibility mode that gives an identical betting UI. Heck, the BetPot mouse clicks are so engrained in my subconscious I have trouble remembering what they are when I consciously think about them.
BetPot lets each key/mouse have "per street" actions. I have my most common bet size formulas on mouse buttons (this just choses the bet size, it doesn't bet) and bet/call/check/fold on function keys.
Also, on a normal speed table if I hit the "sit out next BB" hot key, Ninja should not only uncheck "auto-post blinds" it should click the "sit out" button when the BB finally gets around to me.
Lastly, Can I use Table Ninja at .01/.02 indefinitely? I'd like to see if I can make it work for me but it looks like that evaulation will take some time. I really would rather pay someone a little $$ rather than have to deal with 2-4 different AHKs but the $$ solution has to do enough of what I want...
Hey, I'm going to reply to all your posts at once as best I can.
First off, I think maybe you are confused about how our mouse hotkey interface works. You can assign any mouse button or combination of mouse buttons (Like Xbutton1 + Right Click) to any hotkey you like. You asked if you can"(repeating myself) let me bind bet sizes to mouse buttons (like BetPot AHK)". Just go to a Pot-betting or Fixed bet hotkey, set the amount you desire, click in the text-field and hit the mouse button you want to make a hotkey and it is assigned. Its as easy as that. If I am misunderstanding this request let me know.
Second, a lot of what you use the bet-the-pot UI for TableNinja can be configured to do automatically without you ever hitting a hotkey. Our pot scraping algorithm is much much faster than the Bet-the-Pot algorithm so we can do a lot more things.
For example, the default bets on the pot-betting tab will automatically enter street-dependant amounts into the bet box on your turn, just as binding a % amount to a mouse button that varies based on the street would, except TableNinja does it without you ever hitting a button. Then you can just hit the bet hotkey to bet that amount.
Hitting the fold hotkey does not check the fold check-box to protect you from the case where the table in focus switches suddenly because it becomes your turn at an alternate table. If you are not using the "Table In Foreground" control method you can use the AA Check/Fold hotkey which will also check the AA checkbox when it is not your turn AND click the buttons (check or fold) on your turn.
You can indeed use TableNinja at microstakes indefinitely. Even when we release a commericial version, there will be a free trial that will always work at microstakes.
An option to bypass the do you really want to leave pop-up should be in the next update.
We could probably add more bet-pot percent hotkeys. However if you combine the bet-percent hotkeys, and the default bets, you have a lot of options and you can use the scroll wheel to fine tune things. You're the first person whose told me they felt they didn't have enough options so I am a bit surprised but its something we could do.
To do everything by keyboard I would use the Table In Foreground control method, set up the "Cycle to first in line" hotkey and then assign action and betting hotkeys as you like.
We will be adding open waitlist/join table hotkeys hopefully in the next update.
I hope this answers everything, let me know if I missed anything.
thanks

PS. I think if you spend a little more time getting used to the program you will really start to love it. When you've been using other scripts for years it can be a bit of an adjustment but I think you'll find its worth it
