Can I use a controller to play No Limit?

[mmyy]

I want to know if it is possible to use a controller that lets you move the cursor around with the joystick? Or maybe there is a controller with a rollerball instead of a joystick?

I read about some table navigator or something, but I don't want that. I want to use an on-screen keyboard to type in the bet amounts and use the cursor to drag the slider and have the left mouse button become one of the controller buttons and just kick back as if I was playing a video game. I don't want to have some set up on the controller where button "a" is bet and "b" is call and "c" is raise.

I also want to hook up the laptop to the t.v. screen, but I have no idea how to do that.

Let me know if I can do this and post a link if you know of the right contoller or something.

I use an XBox360 controller with dave's BetPot script. I modified the betpot_default_hotkeys.ahk file by adding the following code starting on line #69
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Joy3::
Fold(getid())
return

Joy4::
Call(getid())
return

Joy2::
Raise(getid())
return

Joy12::
Gosub, ^WheelUp
return

Joy11::
Gosub, ^WheelDown
return

Joy5::
Gosub, ~RButton
return

Joy6::
Gosub, ~MButton
return

; 999x Pot - Push in most cases
Joy1::
Gosub, ^!MButton
return
</pre><hr />

This allows me to move the slide bar up and down, bet, raise, call fold, and of course, bet the pot.

Why not just get a wireless mouse???

I have one. I prefer a gamepad. I grew up playing video games, so it feels natural.

how many tables do you play?

I'm going to have to look into this... i'd much rather use a controller than a mouse as well.....

of course i've been playing with my Wii so much that i'm afraid i'll start slinging my 360 controller around wildly haha.

During the Party/Empire days, I would 14 table $2/$4 limit hold'em. Now I either 9 table Turbo SnGs or 4 table NL full ring.

excellent, i'm going to give this a try then and see how I like it.

For pokerstars, does it automatically just focus on which ever table pops up, or do you have to use a control to get it to focus on a certain table for action?


hopefully I can play with this at some microstakes today man!
