Poker Shortcuts Features
A graphical user interface (GUI) provides an easy method to select features and settings. One of the many tabs is shown here.
Street Betting:
You can define default bet sizes for each Street (preflop, flop, turn, and river). Based on a percentage of the pot, these bet amounts can be automatically put in the betting window when it is your turn to act. If your default bet size is not quite right in the current situation, you can make slight adjustments to your bet using your mouse wheel (see the Inc/Dec Bet tab).
Fixed Betting:
Press one of 5 keys to place a user selectable bet size (based on a percentage of the pot, number of big blinds, number of small blinds, or an absolute $ amount). These 5 keys can be pressed 1, 2 or 3 times, giving you 15 different bet sizes (with each bet amount configurable). Additionally you can define keys for a Pot size bet or an All In bet. Being able to press one key or mouse button to make common size bet makes playing on multiple tables quick and less stressful.
Incremental Betting:
The mouse wheel (or any 2 keys or buttons) can be used to increment and decrement the size of your bet in increments of the small blind, big blind, dollars, or percentage of the pot. This makes adjusting you bet size very easy as you never have to type in a bet value... you simply adjust you bet using the mouse wheel or 2 keyboard keys.
Betting Displays:
A bet display clearly shows your bet size in dollars and/or percentage of the pot. You can easily scroll the mouse wheel (or press keys) to set your bet to desired percentage of the pot size to make your bet. These displays can be customized to show the information exactly as you want (screen position, font, color, text, etc.)
Stack Displays:
Two user definable on-screen-displays show information about your table and stack size. These are intended for tournament and Sit-n-Go players that play a lot of tables. You can easily see how many big blinds you have left and the current blind levels. These displays can be customized to show the information exactly as you want (font, color, text, etc.). A timer can be displayed that shows how long the Fold Button has been visible (so you can always take your actions 10 seconds after it your turn to act to avoid giving off timing tells). Additionally you can color code these displays so that they change color based on the value of a parameter. For example, this can allow you to configure the display to be red in color is you stack gets short, yellow if medium, and green if big.
Getting Chips:
Initial Buyin: Auto clicks the OK button whenever you get chips (if desired).
SnG Registration:
With one click or keystroke you can Register for SnG games. Auto mode (Poker Stars only) will continuously register you for new a SnG after a tables closes. You can set how many tables to keep open and for how long you wish to play.
Automatically Activate and Highlight the Table that requires your Attention
Finding the table that requires action is time consuming when you have many tables open. Shortcuts can be configured to move your mouse the next table that has pending action requiring your attention. A highlight box can be enabled that will put a bright red (or any color) box around this table. This makes it easy to find the table (and find your mouse) that is requiring your action when you have many tables open at one time.
Action Keys and Mouse Buttons:
You can define single keystrokes (or mouse buttons) to perform over 50 common operations on poker table. Keys can be defined to Fold, Call, Bet, All In, Close lobbies, Open SnG, Sit Out, activate next table with pending action, and many many more.
