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
When using Hand2Note v4 bet sizings aren't working postflop
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. If you are not using H2N v4 you can ignore this step.
-
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.
- Inside Settings -> Table Appearance -> Table Display make sure Color-Coded Actions is disabled.
-
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.
-
Match Chips Converted State
- 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) and make sure Color-Coded Actions is disabled.
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.
Hotkeys don't work with two Stars different clients open simultaneously
To use IntuitiveTables hotkeys on two different Stars clients at once, enable the option "Use alternative PokerStars Hotkeys" in the Site Setup tab for PokerStars inside IntuitiveTables. You may need to update your IntuitiveTables to v2.1.3.10 (or higher) for this option IntuitiveTables Versions.
You will need to configure Bet Button 3 inside PokerStars to "Pot" for Set Bet Size hotkeys and the Custom Bet Buttons overlay to work, and Bet Button 4 to "Max" for the All-In hotkey to work. Make sure to do this for both PokerStars clients.
Note: With this option enabled, you can remove the hotkeys configured in Step #1, or disable hotkeys inside PokerStars by unchecking the "Enable Hotkeys" option (see image in Step #1).
Note: Still having an issue with PokerStars? Ask in Discord or contact support@intuitivetables.com.
