PokerStars Setup
Follow this guide to learn how to best configure your PokerStars client for use with IntuitiveTables.
-
Hotkey Setup
1. Configure the built in PokerStars Hotkeys exactly as shown in the photo below (in red). Once these are set, you can choose any supported hotkey inside IntuitiveTables.
- Set Fold to Ctrl + F1
- Set Check/Call to Ctrl + F2
- Set Bet/Raise to Ctrl + F3
- Set Bet Amount to All-In to Ctrl + F4
- Set Bet Amount to 100% of Pot to Ctrl + F5
Note: Even if you aren't using hotkeys, Set Bet Amount to 100% pot to Ctrl + F5 is required for the custom bet buttons/bet box overlay to work properly post-flop.
- (In Blue) You may choose either Table Under Mouse or Active Window for "Send Hotkeys To". This should match what you set inside IntuitiveTables Hotkeys Settings tab for Hotkey Target.
- Make sure hotkeys are enabled click Apply Changes. Then click OK. Confirm the hotkeys are set by returning back to the hotkeys tab.
- You may need to run PokerStars as Administrator if these hotkey still do not work.
Note: Do not set any hotkeys inside PokerStars to CapsLock. This may trigger when other hotkeys are being used on the table. However you can set a hotkey inside IntuitiveTables to CapsLock.
Troubleshooting
Bet sizings aren't working postflop when using Hand2Note Beta 4
Hand2Note Beta 4 prevents the Ctrl+F5 configuration from working properly. To address this, use Ctrl+F6 for Set Bet Amount to 100% of Pot and enable "Use CTRL+F6 for Set Bet Amount to 100% Pot" option inside PokerStars Site Setup.
-
Theme Selection
- Your selected theme must match inside PokerStars and IntuitiveTables.
- Apply the theme to all tables, otherwise some tables may load in a different theme.
Note: Supported Themes are Mercury, Classic, Black, Carbon, and Carbon Lite.
-
Disable Focus Stealing
- (In red) Disable focus stealing here. Tables popping up can be handled by IntuitiveTables.
- (In blue) These are some suggested settings to help with Multi-Tabling.
-
Setup for Preferred Seat
- Preferred seating must be enabled. You may have PokerStars auto-center you or choose manually the most bottom-middle seat at each layout.
-
Setup for Set Bet Size Hotkeys
- IntuitiveTables cannot detect if you are converted to BB inside the PokerStars client. Use this option above if you have converted your chips to BB.
-
Bet Slider Button Hotkey Setup (optional)
- Bet Slider Button hotkeys can be configured to click the small bet size buttons (pictured above).
- Auto-Bet can be set to True to allow for immediate betting of these buttons.
Note: Bet Button 4 does not have to be configured to Max for this site therefore you can use all 4 bet buttons for custom sizes and All-In will not be affected.
-
Muck Winning Hands
- If you leave the option to show hands, it may get grabbed as an urgent table and be moved or activated incorrectly. To fix this, follow these settings.
-
Troubleshooting
Tables don't seem to pop to front or show bet buttons overlay
First double check step #2 (Theme Selection).
If you followed all the steps but the bet buttons/bet box still aren't appearing 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.
