Learning to 2 table HUSNGs

[phatjeffrey]

isnt that what the betpot ahk script is for ? i have no idea how to use it though, i just use the mouse scroll option, cant figure out how to use other keys..

I don't want to use the keyboard though. Keyboard controls get way too confusing for me when multitabling.

I'd attach an image showing what I want (and what I have on FT), but I can't figure out how to do that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


***EDIT***

Here we go. Here's what I have at FT, and what I'd want on pokerstars:

You have images (as in buttons in/outside the software) to click and then make a 1/3 or 2/3 potb etc.?

[TNixon]

Yes, I do. See the above edit. Those buttons put the appropriate amount into the bet amount display when clicked, and then I click the bet/raise button to finish it off.

Much better than typing in numbers, and my bet sizes are always consistent. (and I've been asked a number of times if I'm a bot, because I'm always betting weird numbers) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Actually, now that I think about it, those buttons probably help a fair amount in multitabling.

I never have to calculate a bet size and type it in, or worry if I'm giving away extra information subconsciously with slightly varying bet sizes.

As an example of what I mean by that, I've played against opponents who raise 2.5x preflop if they had a raisable but more marginal hand, and raise 3x if they had a premium hand. One player that I noticed doing this was otherwise a very good player, so I doubt he was doing this consciously, but probably thought he was "mixing it up" by varying his preflop raise size. It was such an explicit pattern that I picked up on it *very* quickly though, and I knew I could come back over the top of a 2.5x raise and likely get a fold, while I'd have to have a very strong hand to come over his 3x raise.

With the buttons, I never vary my bet sizes, or even think about how much I'm betting. (which is really good, cause I suck really bad at doing math in my head) I just look at the situation and decide whether to bet 1/2 pot, 2/3 pot, or full pot, *very* rarely deviating from one of those 3 bet sizes.

Mine interfaces with PokerStars. It's hard to do -- took me a lot of time to get it right. PM me and I'll point you in the right direction.

I actually don't have 1/2 POT etc buttons, but I could do it in a matter of minutes at this point.
