Playing with the SNG opener - I am very non-techie so go easy on me

I want to play continuous sets of 8 sngs. I have an opener tested that will register and open up 8 tables ok. I now want to tweak it so that when I bust out of one it registers me for another, keepling 8 on the go as much as possible. I thought I had done it, but it opened 9 tables and one of those was an 18man so I quickly disabled it.

which check box have I screwed up? TIA!

Hey,

If you can email me a screen shot of your Sit-n-Go opener tab in TableNinja at support@alxsoftware.com I'd be happy to take a look at your configuration and help you out.

To take a screen shot, hit the "Print Screen" or "PrtScrn" button, open microsoft paint, go to Edit -> Paste. Then save the picture and email it over.

My guess without seeing your setup is that you may have had things correctly set, but then changed which tab of lobby you were viewing between when you first started the SnG opener and when you lost the first tournament. But to be sure I'll need to take a look at your setup and see whats going on.

Feel free to email me any time, I usually respond very fast unless I am asleep

PS. TableNinja will occassionally register you in 1 too many sit-n-gos when Stars lags and we don't get the "Regsitration was successful" message right away. This should be fixed in the next update, but it is possible that it will register you for 9 tournaments even if everything is properly set up. It should never register you for something of the wrong type when properly configured though.

Responded to your email, you should be all set once you try my suggestions

Hi tarath

Just playing with the newer features of TableNinja (I originally only started using it for the hotkeys and Annnoyances).

Is there documentation or a wiki page that explains the overall things TableNinja can do?

For example, I'm interesting in using the Wait list of Cash games. Does this mean TableNinja can handle "always make sure I'm on N tables that are 40% or more Player Preflop at uNL"?

The "Join waitlist (or open table)" -- does that mean I can press my hot key when browsing lobbies instead of clicking 'Join table' on the bottom right?

Hey,

Right above the tabs in the program there is a blue "Click here for online documentation about the current tab" link that will jump you to documentation that explains all the features on the tab you are looking at. If you set your language in the "Setup" tab the documentation will automatically be google translated into your language.

TableNinja cannot do something like "always make sure I'm on N tables that are 40% or more Player Preflop at uNL". The idea of the waitlist features is that you can manually join waitlists for tables you wish to play at yourself. Then any time your seat becomes available, TableNinja will automatically accept seats until you reach your "Maximum number of tables" and then will reject all seats once you are above your maximum. Basically if you go through the lobby and join waitlists at a ton of uNL tables with 40% or more Players seeing flop then TableNinja will take over and automatically keep you at N tables.

The Join waitlist hotkey does exactly what you said. You can hit it will browsing the lobby instead of clicking join waitlist or open table.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

Tarath

Tarath:

Can you make the Runtime counter in sensei keep going even after the last tournament in the set has been registered for (so sensei's job is done, but mine's not!). I don't always remember exactly what time I started a set so I like to use the counter to work it backwards, estimate finish time, etc. IMO the ideal case would be to stop the counter when the current tournaments counter returns to zero (and reset it with the reset button like the total tournaments counter).

Love the new features, one question, with the sng openner, how do i get it to say open 10 sng's every 20 mins? Atm it just fills them constantly to the target number and replaces them as I bust. I want them to start in sets of 10.

Say fire up 10, 20 mins later fiire up 10 more, 20 mins later 10 more etc etc.

This in an excellent idea. We plan to put a whole bunch of Sit-n-Go opener improvements into testing (maybe tonight), I'll see if we can squeeze it in this evening and if not it will definitely be high on our list for the near future.

Where can I find a list of the newest features?

I normally play 12 tables with 3 overlapping each other. Is there a way so that when the table pops up it is automatically the size and location I want? Currently every time a new table opens its the large default size and I must resize and drag it to the location I want. Quite the hassle. What can I do to have new tables the size I want?

I use StarsPlanner.ahk for handling my pokerstars tables size and position. Placemint is another window management application that can control almost any window, not just the poker table windows. Both of them have big threads in this forum.

Glad you love the update

At the moment this is not possible, but it is a great idea. I've added it to my list and it should be reasonably simple to implement.

Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback.

If you go to our "Downloads" page and scroll down towards the bottom of the page there is a list of version and the changes made in each version since we started the beta in December. You can check it out here:

http://tableninja.com/downloads.php

I would recommend trying the "Remember Table Positioning" option in PokerStars. If you use this option PokerStars will automatically open your tables to the same size and position as they were the last time you played.

To the right of the dealer stack there is a little button with 2 windows, click it and then select the "Remember Table Positioning" and you should be all set. You can also create and save custom table layouts in this way.

As Fozzy said there are also AHK scripts that do the same thing.

Hope this helps,

Tarath

if there was full tilt compatibility on this, this would be a snap-buy for so many people

a small problem ive had the last two sessions, every time i click "cycle to "First In Line" table" when a new table pops up it comes back about 90% of the time, and i have to click it again to get to any action. This only occurs when a new table pops up, not after a table change in a sng. I'm using the scroll button as the hotkey if that makes any difference.

I keep joking that PokerStars should pay him NOT to port TN to Full Tilt .

Sort of like paying farmers to not grow a crop.

Because FT is planning to switch to a new Poker client that is currently in beta we're not going to make TableNinja FT compatible in the near future. Once the FT beta is more stable and FT is ready to release it as their main client there is a good chance that we will have an FT version of TableNinja for you guys.

Stars pops tables up a few seconds (depending on how fast your connection is) after the tournament window opens. Unfortunately we have not found a way to block stars from doing this. It is extremely annoying I know, so it might be worth emailing Stars and letting them know that you would like that changed.

Unfortunately since TableNinja is not moving the table and we cannot block stars from taking control of their own windows there is not a lot we can do to prevent this.


Either that or FT should pay us to make an FT version

Either way I'd much rather get money from Stars/FT and then be able to give you guys the program for free. Unfortunately if the sites wanted a program like TableNinja they would just build it into their own software (which would be 38975893 times easier than all the crazy things we have to do to make TableNinja work) so I don't think they are likely to pay us.

Is there a possibility for a hot key to "sit out next blind/don't auto post blind AND close table when this happens"?

Hi TableNinja Team,

I've been trying TableNinja for the last couple of days. So far, I'm loving it big time. This software actually might save my arms, wrists, and shoulders from further carpal tunnel syndrome damage. Anyhow.

I am wondering if there's been requests to add a hotkey function for the Replay feature of the PokerStars client? If not, well, let me be the first to request that in a future update.

This behavior by the PokerStars client is hella annoying. I emailed them about it and I encourage all players who find this distracting to do the same. I basically told them that a newly launched table should not take focus away from existing table(s) when it is launched (when "popup table whenever user action is required" is checked). New tables should just launch in the background if there are existing tables at play until the first hand is dealt.

This becomes a problem that can affect gameplay when a few new tables are rapidly launched in succession. If you already have a table in play that requires action, these new tables take focus and valuable seconds away because you have to cycle back.

Ugh.

I used to 50 table without table ninja and had no problems with my computer but with table ninja running it gets laggy when I reach 40+ tables.
Do you think this can be fixed by changing my system from Windows Vista to Windows XP because it takes less resources?

I think we could definitely add an "and close table" option the the Smart BB sit-out hotkeys and that would be really cool.

Glad you like the program

You are the first one to request this and I've added it to my list, thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I think letting stars know how annoying this can be is a good plan. Its extremely difficult for us to do anything about it.

I know many others feel the same way as you about this issue.

Normally things will actually run more smoothly in Vista, particularly if you use an "Aero" theme. However given that you are playing a very large number of tables its possible that you would be better of in XP. It depends a great deal on your graphics card. Vista uses a lot more resources but it also is much better at letting your graphics card help out so if you have a nice graphics card Vista is often faster.

Are you using an "Aero" theme in Vista?

Before you try changing operating systems, you might try setting the "Windows Vista(R) Theme" to "Other" on the setup tab (even if you are actually in an "Aero" theme.

When the "Windows Vista (R) Theme" is set to "Aero" TableNinja is monitoring all your tables all the time. When it is set to "Other" TableNinja only monitors tables that are in the foreground. Given that you are trying to play 50 tables, telling TableNinja to only pay attention to the foreground table rather than all 50 may be a major help.

So as a first step I would try using an "Aero" theme in vista but setting the Windows theme in TableNinja to other and seeing how that goes. If it does not help trying XP is definitely a reasonable option. Whether XP will help really depends on how powerful your current video card is.

Hope this helps,

Tarath

Hi,
I have the Default pre-flop set to 75% which has always worked before, but now every time it is setting the betting to 3x the BB. Nothing has changed except that I upgraded to the latest version. I also tied reducing the percentage and it still bets 3x the BB.

All the other betting works properly.

I am using classic theme with no table overlap.

How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Hey,

Is it possible that on the Sit-n-Go Betting Tab in Sit-n-Go sensei that you checked the "Use this as my default pre-flop bet" option?

Is it possible that you chose the #BB radio button on the Pot-Betting tab for your preflop default bet?

If neither of those ideas help why don't you email me your TNConfigAutoLoad file and your TableNinja log file (both from your TableNinja install directory) at support@alxsoftware.com and I'm sure I can help you get things working.

Thanks

Tarath

Neither of those items are checked. Interestingly enough, if I select #BB radio button on the Pot-Betting tab for your preflop default bet, and set it to 2.5 times the BB it does what I want.

I'd still like to get the % choice working though.

Thanks.

The only other thing I can think of offhand is that maybe you have rounding turned on and your % bets are being rounded to the nearest BB.

Anyways, why don't you just shoot me an email with our TNConfigAutoLoad file and your TableNinja log file (both from your TableNinja install directory) at support@alxsoftware.com and I'll help you out.

I'm about to head to the dentist so I may not reply instantly but I'll definitely get back to you within 12 hours.
