ok... well I am not sure what is causing the behavior your getting. typically, to increase the bet size i would do something like the folloiwng:

1) press the 'increment' key 3 times
2) press the 'bet/raise' key once

If this isn't working for you I will investigate further.

Hi everyone, I've been working a big on the heavily desired 'sit and go opener' feature. I've run into a couple technical complications, but I think they are worked out for the most part. I will be posting an update containing the new features later tonight.

Also, I spent several hours testing out my software and have found a quite a few of what I would call 'kinks,' not really bugs but situations which cause the program to function poorly if certain combinations of settings are enabled. For now I have one simple recommendation, either play using the keyboard or play using the mouse. If your playing with the mouse, turn off automatic activation. If your playing with the keyboard (the preferred mode i assume) turn off all of the mouse features (mouse activation, auto centering).

I will do the best to find a solution to all of the aforementioned issues tonight.

Thanks

v1.2.6 now has a sng opener built in. Keep in mind, to use the SNG opener, you need to filter the lobby as much as possible first using full tilt's filtering options. This way there is no need for PC to search through a list of tables.

I am aware that the automatic entry can be a little irritating, I am currently working to fix some of the annoyances built into the current system, but it is certainly functional as of now.

i've improved a few of the minor issues with the sng opener. Looking for lots of feedback / bug reports because there most likely are a few bugs left in it. (aka use at your own risk).

does this program push the time button or im back? If so, does it push it even if the tables are not visible? If not, I think this would be very helpful.

i have a couple of problems with the software

the custom lobby only show tables which have the first letter M-Z and doesn't show tables from A-L

also the automatic sng registeration doesnt work

I'm using Vista and playing on full tilt

1) the custom lobby will not work until I set up a permanent server in about two weeks. At that point it will show all tables at all levels.
2) Have you properly configured the SNG opener? Either use the lobby in classic mode or ensure that the "show lobby" / "register now" buttons are at the TOP of the widget pannel. Sorry for not clarifying. I will update the user guide and test on win7 / vista tonight.

I still cannot understand what error you are having. When the login window comes up, get out of it and the software should load. If you are getting an error message please give me the exact details.

This is a complicated question and requires a complicated answer. Although the software can identify a table that requires action regardless of if it is visible, it cannot actually preform any actions. There are several ways to solve this issue and I will eventually implement them all.

1) allowing users to define 4-6 window positions (grid points) that only hold only tables where action is necessary. This way when a table is identified as active it is swapped out of the table pool into an open 'active' slot. After action is complete, it is swapped back into its previous location.

2) Allowing the software to pull tables with action necessary to the front of the z order. To some point this is already done and I believe you will not run into any issues where the software fails even with the current setup. The only potential downfall of this system is if the single 'active' table (red border) is covering up another table where action is necessary. As long as the user acts within a reasonable amount of time this should not be a problem.

Anyway to have a hotkey that can click fold/check to any button rather than waiting tell the action is on you? Would make it easier to go through a click fold on the random hands that you will fold no matter what rather then having to wait tell the action is on you on everytable.

everything should work. Once again, sorry for now fully explaining. All you have to do to get the SNG opener to work is

1) Set up the full tilt lobby fully filtered so the tables you want are visible. Both modes are supported (classic and standard) as long as in standard mode the the buttons to register / open tourney lobbies are at the top of your widget display

2) Put in the titles as they appear in the lobby. A number of pre-defined options have been built in, but anything else will work as well, you'll just have to type them in yourself exactly as they appear in the lobby.

For turbos specifically, just put in the game, type, buy in, etc. as it appears in the lobby. Should work fine although I have only tested in XP as of now

This program is great so far, but I feel like I'm not doing something correctly when I set it up. In the user guide it says that the most urgent table will come to the front (or get highlighted red automatically), but I find myself having to tab among tables in order to select the one with the most pertinent action. Is there something in the settings I haven't setup properly?

Thanks, and please provide a FTP name for donations!

just added support for improved automatic detection of actions in v1.2.8 (the program now detects and differentiates between a state where action is necessary and the state where you have cards dealt and action is about to be necessary (pre-actions). There is a basically a priority system with the tables where red is the table you have selected for input and yellow are tables with action necessary. Newly added are green tables which will soon require action and lastly are the blue tables which do not have action necessary.

Tabbing is critical, but usually only necessary from time to time.

I will improve the user guide soon, one thing to keep in mind is that the mouse should not be placed on top of any tables if your using the keyboard shortcuts because doing so would cause the software to automatically select that table.

For now i can recommend trying two things
1) try upgrading to service pack 3
2) try installing microsoft's .net framework 3.5

Nevertheless, you have found a bug and I will eventually need to fix it. This may require me to download and install a version of XP SP2.

1) try the new update to the software
2) i'm going to update the user guide soon
3) i'll talk with you within the next few days if this doesn't work out

Also, keep in mind that there will be situations where tabbing is going to be necessary. Although I am confident your experiencing a different issue (which I will attempt to address in the user guide), there are situations where tabbing is going to be necessary.For example consider the following situation (sorry for length... if you don't care don't bother reading);

Hole cards are dealt to you and you are on the button, in this case the hole cards are strong (AA-JJ). The table will be highlighted green because it is not yet your turn to act but quickly after the software switches the highlighting to red because this is "most pertinent" table. FT provides you with the options of checking/folding or checking when it becomes your turn, but you do not check these boxes because you intend to raise, but your opponents are being exceptionally slow. Meanwhile at another table it becomes your turn to act (action necessary, table highlighted in yellow). You will have to tab over to the table with action necessary and act before acting at the second table.
Now, one may argue that the software should automatically activate the second table, and theoretically it could, but allowing activation in this manner leads to a situation where you press the 'fold' button but before you realize it a different table is activated and you accidentally fold.
Of course, you can simply press the tab button to activate the new table, but i have also added another option if the tab button is not in a convenient location. Pressing the bet key will have the same effect.

Once again, sorry for the explanation... but some people will probably eventually suggest that use of the tab button should never be necessary and I thought this a convenient time to explain.

Eventually....

My plan is to set up a way to do this through the website. I will have a section for users to register and the same registration will be used to login to the software. This way I will be able to keep track of any 'donations' and associate it with the proper user so that when I do charge for the software (several months away), users who 'donated' will have that money available for later on. I will try to keep the software free for as long as possible, and the more 'donations' I receive the more likely it will be to remain free... but I need to have a system in place to ensure that users who 'donate' now are not double charged later on. In fact, I will most likely make donations worth double, so that a donation of $10 while the software is in the beta phase would actually count as $20 worth of payment. Do not worry tho, I dont plan to charge much for my software... there is only one developer (me) and a large part of my motivation for developing this program is my own personal use of it. Pricing would be extremely reasonable, but I will not charge until I have fully developed the entire feature set, and I have some pretty neat ideas in the works... trust me (:

Awesome. Also would be nice to have a feature to deselect all tables in case you want to do something outside of poker or type on something else.
