Grid Mode

  • Poker Tables in a Grid
  • Default Layout

    Grid Mode is the default layout when using IntuitiveTables. All tables are placed side-by-side in a grid with no stacking enabled. In this mode, when a table is dragged onto another table, they will switch slots.

  • Suggested Settings

    The following settings are recommended when playing in Grid Mode:

  • Table Borders Tab
  • 1

    Focused Table Border

    It is highly suggested to enable the focused table border when playing in Grid Mode. This way you will know which table is focused and receiving hotkeys.

  • Activate Table Under Mouse
  • 2

    Activate table under mouse

    This feature is not mandatory however it will speed up your play when using hotkeys. It will also help you identify which table is will receive hotkeys when used with the Focused Table Border.

  • Urgent Table Cycling Tab
  • 3

    Urgent Table Cycling

    If your tables overlap in your grid, it is suggested to enable "Bring table to front on hero's action". This will automatically bring the most important table above any overlapped tables when it's your turn to act.

Troubleshooting

How do I get all my tables the same size?

Many sites can will stretch to fit their slots perfectly however for PartyPoker and PokerStars you will need this option:

Table Stretching

Depending on which sites you play, it may not be possible to have all tables the same size. The next best option may be to build the grid based on the site with the tallest tables (see next question below).

My 888 or Winamax tables are overlapping my other slots.

To avoid overlap completely, you will have to build the grid based on the site with the tallest tables (if they don't stretch like 888 or Winamax).

Poker Sites Tab

In the Poker Sites tab, you can choose which site to build the slots based on. Once selected, go to the Main tab and adjust the main size slider and press save.

Main Tab
How do I automatically switch layouts based on table count?

Simply enable "Auto-switch templates" and choose your table counts and templates.

Auto-Switch Layouts

Note: This feature is only compatible with stacking disabled.

Multi-Stack Mode

  • Multi-Stack Mode
  • More Tables, Less Space

    In Multi-Stack mode you can place multiple tables in each available slot. When dragging and dropping, tables will now stack instead of switch slots. This allows you to fit more tables in less space on your screen.

  • Suggested Settings

    The following settings are recommended when playing in Multi-Stack Mode:

  • Multi-Stack Mode
  • 1

    Enable Stacking

    To use this mode, enable "Multi-Stack" in the Stack Setup tab.

  • Settings Tab
  • 2

    Pop to front on each stack (optional)

    By default, IntuitiveTables will only push to front the most urgent table across all stacks. If instead you want each stack to push their most urgent table to the top, try enabling this setting.

  • Overlays Tab
  • 3

    Stack Count Overlay (optional)

    It may be helpful to enable the "Stack Count" table overlay when playing in Multi-Stack Mode. This will tell you how many tables exist in each stack.

Troubleshooting

My tables won't pop to front when urgent

This is likely a problem with theme or skin selection inside IntuitiveTables. Please review the Site Setup guide and look for steps relating to Theme, Skin, or Client Bet Button configuration.

Theme Selection
I matched my theme but tables still won't pop to front

If you have properly configured the Theme Selection but tables still aren't moving when urgent, it could be a Windows Scale and Layout (high DPI) issue. Go to your display settings inside Windows and see if any of your monitors are on a Scale and Layout value other than 100%. If so, please view the DPI Scaling Guide.

Windows Scale and Layout
Tables keep stealing focus from other tables

Make sure to disable focus stealing from each site you play. Check out the Site Setup guide and look for steps relating to focus stealing. This could also be an outside application as well such as 888/Stars/PartyCaption or another table manager.

Stack & Tile Mode

  • Stack and Tile Mode
  • Tile tables when urgent

    Stack and Tile mode will stack all tables initially and then move them to the grid when action is required. This can help you focus on tables that require immediate attention while keeping less important tables hidden.

  • Important Settings

    The following settings are important when playing in Stack and Tile Mode:

  • Stack and Tile Mode
  • 1

    Enable Stack and Tile

    To use this mode, enable "Stack and Tile" in the Stack Setup tab.

  • Stack Setup Tab
  • 2

    Table enters grid

    Choose when the table should be automatically tiled into the grid. Hero Action is the default option however there are several other post-flop and pre-flop options to try out.

  • Stack Setup Tab
  • 3

    Send table back to stack

    Choose when the table should be automatically returned to the grid. "After hand ends" is the default option however you can also choose "After each action" or uncheck both options to have the table stay in the grid.

  • Add additional stacks (advanced)

    It's possible to play on multiple stacks in Stack and Tile mode. You can also choose which slots each stack will tile into. This is an advanced feature and only recommended if you know what you are doing.

  • Stack Setup Tab

Troubleshooting

My tables won't leave the stack when urgent

This is likely a problem with theme or skin selection inside IntuitiveTables. Please review the Site Setup guide and look for steps relating to Theme, Skin, or Client Bet Button configuration.

I matched my theme but tables still won't leave the stack

If you have properly configured the Theme Selection but tables still aren't moving when urgent, it could be a Windows Scale and Layout (high DPI) issue. Go to your display settings inside Windows and see if any of your monitors are on a Scale and Layout value other than 100%. If so, please view the DPI Scaling Guide.
