any plans to add autofill street betting?

sounds like TableNinja. my guess ..fill in a predefined pot fraction / street if you are first to act?

yes. i think its by far the most important feature to most people. it would be nice to have something that can do that in linux. i've tried it with wine/ahk and existing scripts, but it doesn't work properly.

i see, this feature could save one keypress. TableCrab would have to get a notion of what a "street" and what "first to act" is. technically, one way could be to monitor tables to find out when a hand starts and then monitor the bet box. when it becomes visible (new street) put in a predefined amount if the current amount is the min bet (assuming we are first to act in this case). potential problems: either may fail or conflict with user interactions.

thinking it over ..doable, but i would not want to add this feature for another reason: currently TableCrab can be quite easily extended to support other poker sites - thinking FullTilt for example. no easy way to monitor the bet box here. it may require constant OCRing, slowing things down too much. so basically it is a trade off: the simpler features are kept, the more the door is open for other sites to support. and i would like to give priority to this.


i may be nitting things up too much though. so, if you or anyone else has a nice idea don't hesitate to step forward ;-)

well, you could always just make it one value for all streets. that would still be pretty handy.

then you could just set it to 85 or whatever it takes to make your pf ammount right, and it will be a much better default for later streets than 0 or minbet or whatever.

no idea how TableNinja does this, but reading their FAQ it looks like they are in deep trouble getting this right. i figure they actually check how many cards are on the table to determine the street. this only works for a few themes out there and is easily broken on every site update and and and.

minimal efford would be:

1) running a thread on the table that periodically checks for changes
2) OCR the pot (we can not just throw in a random number. too many assumptions here)
3) check for conflicts with user input
4) dump the number into the box

the thread takes some time till it is back to check the table for changes. the OCRing takes on a fast system a guestimated 0.15 seconds. so it could easily take a guestimated 0.3 seconds untill the number is in there. plenty of room for evil things to happen. so, i guess best is to keep it at hitting a key everytime. at least this is explicite and does not rely on black magic ;-)

the starscash ahk does autofill also. i don't know anything about how it works, but there is a field in the settings that lets you adjust the number of times that it checks for betpot purposes

reading over it ..starscsash is script specialized to work on two or three stars themes. this gives it hands free to do stuff that TableCrab will never do. this doesn't mean that all this could not be done in TableCrab. but someone would have to write and maintain the stuff, maybe as a specialized TableCrab mod. so, sorry that i have to disapoint you, this feature will not make it into TableCrab. at least not in the foreseeable future.

hi, does this work with the new cap tables on stars? thanks

TableCrab should work on cap tables (that is it ignores the cap). please report if you notice any problems.

Hi mme,
Kinda new to this forum, this tool seems to be good but wondering.
Can I set TableCrab to auto fold my trash hands? Hole cards like 27o,28o etc...
Thaks

nope, this is cheating by stars rules. so, no support for this in TableCrab. but you can set up a hotkey to fold hands. one keypress and the trash is in the muck.

I'm totally new to this so is there a video or instructions to set this up?

Thanks

did not have the time to write a tutorial yet. most is in the docs. feel free to ask if you get stuck somewhere.

I downloaded it and set up the fold and bet keys <F4> and <F5>. Now how do I start to use it?

1) open a table
2) take a screenshot of it (hotkey screenshot)
3) go to the "setup" tab
4) create a "new" --> "PokerStarsTable" template
5) fill in the template by selecting an item and double clicking the respective point on the screenshot

note that the hotkeys you set up only work for a table of exactly this tables size. you may setup more than one template to cover tables of multiple sizes. you may later flip through them by assigning hotkey "table size next".

..but a tutorial video would ne be nice, indeed. is anyone here capable of making one of these nice camtasia videos?

TableCrab2-0.7.0 released

- you can now fetch nash calculations for hands loaded from disk
- some more of bug fixes in HandViewer / HandHistoryViewer. (weird) player names and 10 man tables could break viewing / parsing hand histories. both hopefuly fixed.

Hi,

Sorry if you've already answered this: are you planning to make this work on Full Tilt (or any other sites)?

Thanks

no problem. support for other sites is somewhere in the back of my mind but don't hold your breath for it. FullTilt would shurely be nice but i am not shure if it runs on linux/wine without crashing. last time i tried the answer was no. anyone playing FT on wine who could give some insight?

I play FT on Wine and it is stable for me. On the WineHQ appdb, I think a few people rated FTP gold.

On my set up (Ubuntu 10.10 x64, wine 1.3.14) PS crashes whenever I minimize a table.
