I have a regular mouse still plugged into my computer so if the battery goes on the gyration I can just start using the regular mouse.

Thanks also to Joey.

I recently downloaded a free macro program called "AutoHotkey", it has a more powerful scripting language than EZ Macros, and mouse commands are based on the current window, which was necessary for multitabling.

I was able to set it up to work for any number of non-overlapping tables (I play 8), all controlled through the numpad keys. It's ended up being pretty handy so I thought I'd post about how I configured it.

First, I am using X mouse with TweakUI, this brings focus to the current window your cursor is over automatically. I'm also using a free utility called allSnap - this keeps all my windows perfectly aligned similar to WinAMP or the Paradise client. Both these utilities will make doing this much easier.

Keys:
1: Fold button / Fold checkbox
2: Check/Call button / Check/Call checkbox
3: Bet/Raise button / Bet/Raise checkbox
4: Left (moves cursor one window to the left)
5: Down
6: Right
7: Autopost blind toggle
8: Up

If anyone would like to use this, here is the AutoHotkey.ini file:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
; Fold
Numpad1::
MouseClick, left, 234, 476
Sleep, 100
MouseClick, left, 235, 476

return

; Check/Call
Numpad2::
MouseClick, left, 398, 475
Sleep, 100
MouseClick, left, 398, 475

; Bet/Raise
Numpad3::
MouseClick, left, 553, 470

MouseClick, left, 553, 470

; AutoPost
Numpad7::

Sleep, 100
return

; WindowRight
Numpad6::

MouseMove,1200,300
return

; WindowLeft
Numpad4::
CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
MouseMove,-400,300
return

; WindowDown
Numpad5::
CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
MouseMove,400,900
return

; WindowUp
Numpad8::
CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
MouseMove,400,-300
return

Staples sucks. Don't shop there. So glad I quit.

Staples rocks. I know of no good reason not to shop there. Next to Best Buy, they are the best place to get pretty much anything, IMHO.

when i go to that link i don't see a mouse or anything, just a screen where i'm prompted to enter my zip code.


of course now that i actually entered a zip code, i saw the pic of the mouse for the first time.

Hi illunious;

This looks like a great UI for playing multiple tables easily. A quick question: Is the autokey.ini file that you showed here suppose to work for all online poker sites or is unique to a particular site. In other words, can I use this same autohotkey.ini file for both paradisepoker, partypoker and ultimatebet?

I tried it briefly on paradisepoker and it worked fine except it does not click the fold checkboxes correctly. It seems to click the checkbox, but immediately unclicks it again leaving it unchecked. However, if I wait till the action buttons pop up, it works flawlessly. It seems that the checkboxes for the actions don't get clicked properly. Is that because you have these checkboxes set up for some other poker client like partypoker only?

I've only had a few minutes to check out the autohotkey program. But this is great thing you've shown us multi-table players.

Thanks for your contribution,
AcesFull

I forgot to mention it's for Party (and skins). Any other site will have different button locations, use the recorder to get the new coordinates.

The script I posted is pretty basic. With enough time I think some very powerful poker scripts could be made using AutoHotkey.

I wonder how difficult it would be to write a script that could work at most of the bigger online poker sites? It would be great if the AutoHotKey.ini could accomodate like partypoker, paradise, UB, pokerstars, etc.

I don't think just having the script check the title bar would work. Because usually the title bar has a little picture icon for the site (which I don't think is readable by AutoHotKey) followed by the limit size and the table name. So, there is not enough unique information in the windows title bar of the table to indicate which site it's on.

But I see that the AutoHotKey has some form of Pixel Identification, so maybe it can check a image on the table somewhere for which site.

It's pretty amazing that your playing all eight of your tables at partypoker. I often find myself playing at two or three different sites at once playing less than eight tables.

Try this for a one-handed solution you can just keep in your lap or move around all over. Saves some wear and tear on the bod. Extremely customizable.

I worship the ground you walk on.

This just might save me whatever a new right shoulder would have cost.
