Poker Shortcuts: Inc/Dec Bet Tab
Note: When using the features in Shortcuts, be sure that your mouse is positioned over a table and not over any on-screen display or HUD item (heads up display).
Note: The top row are for use only with Poker Stars. The top row is intended for you to put WheelUp and WheelDown in the code boxes, so that your mouse wheel can be used to control your bet size on Poker Stars.
Note: If you want to use your mouse wheel on Full Tilt, use the feature that is built into Full Tilt. Go to the FT lobby...Options...Bet Slider Options. Select on of the 2 Mouse Wheel Action options (besides Off).
Note: Do not put WheelUp and WheelDown in the bottom 3 rows, because these will not work correctly on Full Tilt tables.
These features provide a very easy way to adjust your bet size up and down. You can define a keys or mouse controls to make these bet adjustments.
Quick Setup:
- Enter a keyboard or mouse code in the "Increase bet" and "Decrease Bet" boxes.
- Define the amount you want the bet size to change by in the Inc/Dec Amount box.
- Define the units for your bet adjustment.
Enter Key/Mouse Codes for Increase Bet and Decrease Bet
By using the mouse wheel, a mouse button or a keyboard key selection, you will be able to easily adjust your bet size up or down. For example, if you enter these selections
Increase Bet: WheelUp
Decrease Bet:
WheelDown
Inc/Dec Amount: 1
Units: SB
then your bet size will be incremented or decremented by 1 small blind amount for each rotational notch of the mouse wheel. If you set the Small Blind Multiplier to 10, the bet size will be changed by 10 x SB every time the mouse wheel is rotated a notch.
A listing of available key and mouse codes is available here.
You can enable up to four different bet amount settings with different key and/or mouse button selections and different amounts to give you a lot of flexibility in setting your bet amount. The units can be Big Blinds, Small Blinds, Dollars, or % of Pot Size increments. If you use an amount of 10 and Units of %Pot, then the bet amount will be incremented or decremented in one-tenth Pot Size increments (or if you are raising, it will be in 10% pot size raise increments).
If you select F7 and F8 (in the Increase and Decrease boxes, respectively), then pressing F7 will increase the bet size and F8 will decrease the bet amount. If the XButton1 button on the mouse is assigned to increase the bet, then whenever XButton1 is pressed on the mouse the bet will be increased. If mouse buttons are assigned to "send" the F7 and F8 keystrokes when these mouse buttons are clicked (use the factory mouse software, see the Mice section above), then you can use mouse buttons to change the bet size. There are many other key options as well, such as using ALT & UP arrow and ALT & DOWN to make bet size changes.
There is no error checking on the values place in these edit boxes.
Round all bet sizes to be a multiple of x times the Small Blind
This value will round your bets to be some multiple of the Small Blind (set to 0 to disable). This is useful if you want your bets to be rounded to whole values. Many users like a value of 1, so that every bet will be evenly divisible by the small blind amount and you will get "normal" looking bet amounts.
If you would like larger rounding increments, then try 2, which will round your bets to be an even multiple of the big blind amount.
Some users like to confuse their opponents with very unusual bet sizes. By setting this value to 0, the software will not round your bet size.
