Replace these lines

(they are in the FormatBet() function)

OldFormat := A_FormatFloat
SetFormat, Float, 0.2
bet += 0.0
SetFormat, Float, %OldFormat%


with

bet := Round(bet, 0)

Sounds like you're playing $100nl and you got the script to round up instead of down. That's not going to work for people playing $200nl+.

[robster]

well it bet 3.5 before i changed anything.. do you have any other solution?

You copied my answer from another post, but it is not the correct answer. While it sometimes will do what you want, it is not a generic 4 instead of 3.5 bb preflop better.

The round part rounds to nearest, not always up or always down. When I posted the solution of rounding, which then got copied, it [stupidly] assumed you had the part of pot thing modded, so it only works post flop first of all. Also I don't see a problem why it wouldn't work on 200NL?

It is customary to round up when you're dealing with decimals. 3.5 would round up to 4 instead of 3 in this case, and that's why this will only work for $100nl. At $200nl it will not round up because there are no more decimals when dealing with pot sized preflop raises.

I know all of this because I was messing around on Ipoker (noIQ skin) using this bet pot script, and I was trying it out at the play money tables and happened to be at a 100nl table. It was 3.5 to start preflop but when I edited the script to exactly what robster said to make it 4x, which worked, but I quickly realized that it rounded up from dollars specifically when I right clicked to bet pot which was 12.50, and in the bet box it wrote 13.

There is some big big confusion here: the rounding part of the script I posted was to round the bets to nearest dollar (as requested), not to bet 4 bb preflop. Someone else then asked how to bet 4 bb preflop instead of 3.5 and then someone copied my rounding code as the answer. While that will work on some levels, it is NOT the solution for betting 4 bb preflop.

This is not true, while 3.5 should be rounded up, 3.4 should be rounded down. Not that it is a big deal anyways, it only is a problem if you use the mod not as intended (meaning betting 4 instead of 3.5 bb preflop). I personaly think rounding to nearest small blind is best, it works both preflop and postflop (this is how I have it in my script), and will not mess with your preference to raise 3.5 or 4 bb preflop.
