Winamax Setup

Follow this guide to learn how to best configure your Winamax client for use with IntuitiveTables.

Initialize Client
- Open your Winamax client and click "Initialize Winamax" inside IntuitiveTables.
- Wait for the client to reload and now all new features should work properly.
Note: You will only need to repeat this step if IntuitiveTables updates and prompts you to re-intitialize, or if the Winamax client updates or is reinstalled.
Advanced Overlays
- Action History overlay is now available. See the history of actions and sizings each player used throughout the hand. All action texts can be modified and color coded in the "Customize" area.
- Utilities Overlay - Pot Odds, Stack to Pot Ratio, and Effective Stack overlays are now available.
- Player Positions can be enabled to see the position of each seat on the table. All position texts can be modified and color coded in the "Customize" area.
- Players in hand can be enabled to see the number of players remaining throughout each hand.
Note: Make sure to configure your preferred seat to "Lower" (see step #6).
Stack Size Coloring
- Stack size coloring is now available for Winamax!
- Configure the ranges (in BBs) and the colors you want to show when stack sizes change.
Note: An update is required for stack size coloring. Please download IntuitiveTables v2.1.2.2 (or higher) by going to Update -> Version manager inside IntuitiveTables or grab it manually here: IntuitiveTables Versions.
Disable Playground
- IntuitiveTables will only work properly with Winamax if the Playground is disabled and each window opens separately.
Action Buttons Position
- Make sure Action Buttons Position is set to Lower.
Note: This should be the default setting inside Winamax. If you change this setting, many features such as hotkeys or table urgency will not work.
General Settings
- Language must be set to English.
- Disable "Save the table and window disposition".
Table Settings
- Auto pop-up should be disabled to avoid focus stealing.
- Active table border color can be disabled here and borders can be turned on inside the settings tab of IntuitiveTables instead.
- Select table on mouse hover can be disabled as this is the same as Activate Table Under Mouse inside IntuitiveTables.
- Expand sidebar for new tables must be disabled! Many features will not work properly otherwise.
- Preferred seat should be set to "Lower".
Keep Bet Box and Bet Buttons Visible
- Make sure to not cover the bet box or main bet buttons with your HUD, or any overlays like bet buttons or bet box.
- Note: If you cover the bet box with one of our overlays or an outside HUD (like PT4 or HEM), the mouse wheel, set bet Size hotkeys, custom bet buttons or bet box overlays will be unable to set the bet properly.
Enable Auto-Muck
- Enable Auto-Muck otherwise the table may incorrect be detected as urgent when asked to show your hand.
Bet Slider Button Hotkey Setup (optional)
- If you are using Bet Slider Button hotkeys inside IntuitiveTables, be mindful of your Insta bet setting here. This could cause bets to be placed automatically.
- Action Buttons Position must be set to "Lower".
- Number of bet slider shortcuts needs to be set to 8 for all game formats you play (cash/sng/mtt).
Troubleshooting

Advanced overlays stopped working

If these features were previously working for you, but there was an update to Winamax (or you re-installed) you may need to re-initialize the client. Follow Step #1 in this guide again.
Advanced overlays are not working and I'm using a VPN
- Reset Comms Server
  
  Certain VPNs may interfere with our communication server with Winamax. Try the "Reset Comms Server" button. If the indicator color is still not green, if possible try closing your VPN or making an exception for Intuitivetables in your VPN settings.
- Note: If you use ExpressVPN you can either make an exception for IntuitiveTables in your VPN settings or make sure the Comms Server has started (is showing green in the photo above) before starting ExpressVPN.
Initialization error "Failed attempt to launch program or document"
- If initialiation shows the following error then your antivirus software very likely incorrectly quarantined important parts of our software. Follow these steps:
  - Open your antivirus software and look for one of our files in quarantine such as intuitive_server.exe or any other files from your IntuitiveTables folder.
  - You should be able to reverse the quarantine and make an exception for this file in the future. If so, try closing and reopening IntuitiveTables and initializing Ignition again.
  - If not, try adding an exception for your IntuitiveTables folder and then get the newest update from IntuitiveTables from IntuitiveTables Versions.
Initialization error "SecurityError"
- If initialiation shows a security error like in this photo, follow these steps:
  - Search and open "Internet Options" from the taskbar in windows. Navigate to Security > Local Intranet and then click the Sites button.
  - Uncheck all 3 checked boxes so that everything is unchecked.
  - Apply the settings and restart IntuitiveTables
My overlay bet buttons/bet box aren't showing up

First check Step #4 and make sure Action Buttons Position is set to "Lower".

This may happen on a very specific mixed DPI setup. If you have any attached monitors above 100% scaling inside Windows, check out the multi-monitor recommendations in the DPI Scaling Guide.
