Questions about party skins and multi tabling

[Jarekb]

I've been reading a few threads tonight and have some questions that the search feature couldn't help me with.

1. What is the max number of tables you can have up for party skins? I play on empire and the max is 4, but I've read about people 8-12 tabling and I'm not sure how they do that. Is it just running empire, party, and intertops at the same time with 4x games from each one?

2. I was 4 tabling at Empire for a while, now trying to clear some cryptic logic bonuses and running 5-6 games at once, I've heard of auto hot keys being used to make this much easier task. Do CRL sites have an option I'm not seeing that would allow for hot keys for raising/calling/folding/betting? How would betting/raising work with hot keys or does this only work for fold/check/call? Is it possible to assign these hot keys to a mouse? I've got an MX-500 that has a few extra keys I could use instead of my keyboard. I want to eventually run 6-8 games at once on one monitor using hot keys and multitablehelper.

Think thats it for now, thanks for any input.

1. Yes (4 from each skin)

2. Don't know

So does anyone know how the auto hot key thing works? I was giving this some thought and not sure how you would bet/raise in NL, but is this possible to do.

Program/make hot keys for the num pad on the right side of a keyboard. Have 1-8 be raises in magnitude of the big blind, so that in a .10/.25 game pressing 1 gives $.25, 2-$.50, 3-$.75, 4-$1 and so forth. Past 9x the plus and minus keys could add or subtract another blind when you press the button. 0 could be check/fold and . could be call.

Now is something like this possible? Using this kind of setup along with MultiTableHelper ( http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2458555&page=2&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=)

would make 8-12 tabling on one monitor easy and efficient...but are the kinds of hot keys I'm talking about possible? Could you do something like that without another program?

Have to go to work so I'll check this thread later, hopefully with some good news for me..

Any thoughts on this or can someone point me to software that has some of the functionality that I'm talking about?

I've found the following useful in dealing with some oft-forgotten or minor UI annoyances in the past. YMMV
