Does anyone know any programs to assist in playing poker at work?

I four table at stars, and if my boss comes into the office, instantly closing the entire program (and losing my note filled tables, stacks, etc) seems to be the safest way of not getting caught.

Otherwise, just sitting out at tables is risky because the tables pop up when prompted for action. Or they see the program in the side bar.

Ideally a program would minimize the program, without closing it, but override any prompts.

Any advice?

You could try:
http://www.wickss.com/ahk/starshotkeys/

You can bind hotkeys to Sit out on all tables, and Close All tables, not sure if this will work for your situation.

You could easily let an AHK script hide/unhide lobby + tables with a hotkey imo. I'll have a look.

edit:
OK for Stars:

Code:

; Language:       English
; Platform:       Win9x/NT
; Author:         Everlong@2p2 / Calling_St@Stoxpoker
;
; Script Function: Hide / Unhide Stars with Hotkey

#NoEnv

I also wanted to add that I think our society is screwed.
