Poker Shortcuts: Calib Tab

calibration tab

The Poker Shortcuts software needs to be color calibrated to your poker tables in order to work correctly. This calibration data is saved with the theme data. Once you have calibrated for a theme, you should not need to calibrate again for that theme, UNLESS you change some colors on your table (like the table background colors, empty seat colors, or table felt colors).

Before calibrating, be sure you are using the correct table theme. The currently active table theme for both Full Tilt and Poker Stars is shown at the top of this tab. You can select the table themes on the Setup tab.

The table theme you have selected in Shortcuts must match the theme you are using on your tables.

Calibrate Table Felt Colors:

This program looks at the color of the table to see if there are board cards present, which is then used to determine what "street" the action is at. When you first use this program, OR when you change the color of the table felt, you must configure this software to the new colors of the table.

Follow these steps for each table theme that you plan to use:

  1. Select the table theme that you want to calibrate on the Setup tab.
  2. Open one table, and make sure that it is the same theme as you have selected in Shortcuts. It is best if this table is empty, so there are no board cards on the table.
  3. If the table is a Full Tilt table, click on "Calibrate Felt Colors - Full Tilt". If the table is a Poker Stars table, click on "Calibrate Felt Colors - Poker Stars".
  4. In the boxes next to the button you clicked, you should see the colors of the table felt. If a card happened to be on the table, repeat this process when no cards are on the table.
  5. If needed, repeat these steps to calibrate the software for other themes.

Calibrate Empty Seat Colors (Full Tilt Poker only):

On Full Tilt Poker tables, the software looks for specific colors in the seat locations at the table in order to count the number of seats and players at the table. The software needs to be color calibrated to the color of the empty seats. When you first use this program, OR when you change the color of the of the seats, you must configure this software to the new colors of the table. This should be done for each table theme that you use on Full Tilt Poker.

Follow these steps for each table theme that you plan to use:

  1. Select the table theme that you want to calibrate on the Setup tab.
  2. Open a 9 seat table that is empty (no players should be seated at the table). Be sure that the table you open is the same theme as you have selected in Shortcuts.
  3. Click on "Calibrate 9 seat table - Full Tilt" button.
  4. In the boxes next to the button you clicked, you should see the colors of the empty s
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for 8, 6, and 2 seat tables.
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 for any other table themes that you plan to use on Full Tilt Poker.
