TableNinja II User Guide

TableNinja II version 2.3.x +
October 30, 2014
  • Overview
    TableNinja II is designed to automate the repetitive and annoying parts of online poker so that you can focus on the tough decisions, play more tables, and with practice take your game to the next level.
  • Setup
    The Setup options for TableNinja II are broken down into four sections. 
    • General
    • Optimizations
    • Poker Sites
    • Hand History Folders

    TableNinja II Setup

    • General
      • Keep TN on Top - If checked, TableNinja II will stay above other windows while it is open. This allows you to edit your configuration without having tables pop-up on top of TableNinja II.
      • Minimize TN on Startup - If checked, TableNinja II will automatically minimize on startup.
      • Minimize TN to System Tray - If Checked, TableNinja II will automatically minimize to the system tray.
      • Show Notifications as Balloons in Bottom-Right Tray - Enabling this option will cause TableNinja II to display error messages in pop-ups over the task tray.
      • I want Beta Updates - Will prompt you to download BETA versions of TN2 when they are available.
      • Downgrade - Displays information on how to downgrade TN2 to an older version.   Only do this if you are experiencing issues with the latest version.
      • Decimal Separator - Based on what country you are from, change the Decimal Separator to match your local regional settings.
      • View All Hotkeys - Allows you to view all the hotkeys you have setup by type or alphabetically.
    • Poker Sites
      The Poker Sites section shows the status of your theme on each supported site and regional client that you play on.
       

      Warning: Make sure you tell TN2 what language your poker client is set to.


      Warning: Only use the Override Theme option when experimenting with themes that are not officially supported.  If you use the override theme option and are playing with a supported theme, TableNinja II will not function correctly.

    • Hand History Folders
      Hand History folders will be automatically recognized at PokerStars, FullTilt, and PartyPoker.  You must manually add the hand history folders for all other poker networks supported by TableNinja II. 
  • Hotkeys

    Assigning a hotkey to a task means that instead of clicking your mouse on your poker client, you use a keyboard shortcut to perform the same action.  Using hotkeys allows you to play more tables with less effort.


    Example: You might assign betting All-in to "A" on your keyboard.  Then when it's your turn to act on a table you don't click All-in, you just press the "A" key on your keyboard to go all-in.  Enabling hotkeys does not disable mouse clicking, it's just a shortcut to get the action performed.

  • Betting

    Besides the usual Bet Actions, you can create hotkeys for betting a specific portion of the pot, a specific number of blinds, or a combination thereof. Each betting hotkey can be assigned to a specific street. 

    For example, using TableNinja II's Betting hotkeys you can bet 60% pot preflop, 50% pot on flop, 40% pot on turn and river.

    In addition, you can fine tune your default bets or hotkeys depending on your position at the table, or depending on current BB size in tournaments and SNG tables.  For example, you can have a hotkey that will bet 3 blinds, and then less and less, as the blinds grow.

      • Stealing Focus from other Applications

        When Foreground is in another application and a table requires action:

        • Bring it to the top just behind the Active Application - This will move the table requiring action right behind the application that's currently in focus.
        • Bring it to the top but keep the other Application in Foreground - This will move the table requiring action on top of the application that was in focus at the time the table required action.
        • Bring it to Foreground (Steal Focus) - This will move the active table to the foreground stealing focus from the application that was in focus.
        • Do Nothing - This will not steal focus from any applications when a table requires action.
          • If Active Application fully covers the table, just bring the Table's Frame to the top -This will bring the table frame to the top of the application, but the table will remain behind the application.
          • If mouse is hovering a table, steal focus (and activate the target table) - If enabled and an application is above your poker table and your mouse is over the poker table, the poker table will steal focus from the application and place focus on the poker table.
          • If Hotkeys are OFF, Stealing focus is paused until you turn the hotkeys ON - If for example you are in stack layout, tables will popup but will not steal focus until you turn the hotkeys back on again.
          • Play a sound when focus stolen from another app - This will play a sound when TN2 moves a table requiring action away from a an application. (IE Typing in Skype, then it becomes your turn to act, TN2 will play a sound.)
      • Manual Table

        When you manually move to a Table (manually click it or Cycle Forward / Backward) that table becomes the target table until:

        • I act on this table or cycle elsewhere or manually click another table - If you manually click on another table that table is the target table until you act on that table, Cycle elsewhere or manually click another table.
        • I move the mouse away from the table - If you manually move to another table and another table requires action, then the table you manually clicked on will be the target table until you move your mouse away from that table.  At this point the next table requiring action will steal focus and become the target table.
        • There is action on a new table (that table will steal focus from this table) - If you manually click on another table, that table becomes the target table unless another table requires action.  At this point the table will then steal focus from the table you manually clicked on.
        • If time is running low at another table (that table will steal focus from this table) -If the timer on another table has less time to act than the table you currently have in focus, focus will move to the table where there is less time to act.

    TableNinja II can automatically show you how many chips you have, in BB or in Harrington's M. By dragging the small rectangles, you tell TableNinja II where that information should be shown on the table.

    Note that the display will update any time it becomes your turn. The display does not update in between turns and thus the number it displays may not be accurate when it is not your turn. Also note that when you post a blind, the posted blind will be counted as part of your stack.

  • SNG Sensei

    TableNinja II's SNG Sensei feature can automatically register you to Sit N Gos, removing the painful repetitive task of registering for multiple events. When you use SNG Sensei, this tool will automatically buy into Real Money Sit-n-Go's with YOUR REAL MONEY; please use this feature carefully because Max Value Software is not responsible for improper user configuration or unintended use of SNG Sensi. 

    SNG Sensei is only available for Sit & Go play at Pokerstars.

    To use SNG Sensei:

    1. Open PokerStars
    2. Filter the PokerStars SNGs list to only display the SNGs you wish to play. Use the PokerStars BUYIN sorting tabs in to prevent buying into stakes you are not rolled for.
    3. Return to TableNinja II and name the search in the SNG Sensei Search Name report. 
    4. Define how many SNGs within this search you wish to have opened at the same time while SNG Sensei is running.
    5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each type of SNG you wish to add to your playing schedule while using SNG Sensei. Click "Start" to enable SNG Sensei and begin playing!

    • SNG Sensei: CAUTION
      • Please note that SNG Sensei works only for Pokerstars.
         
      • The TableNinja II Sit-n-Go Opener will automatically buy into Real Money Sit-n-Go's with your money. Please use this feature VERY carefully and test everything at microstakes. We are not responsible for any money you may lose using the Sit-n-Go Opener. Please also be sure to set a maximum buy-in the PokerStars, Full Tilt or Party Poker tournament filter to prevent any potential problems that might occur due to changes made to tournament tables.
         
      • Please use the sorting tabs in PokerStars to prevent buying into stakes you are not rolled for.
         
      • Please make sure you leave the lobby/filters screen open and on the Filter in which you are searching via Sensei. Failure to do so will cause Sensei to stop, or possibly register you for games that meet your criteria, but you may not wish to play. If you wish to, you can move the filter screen so that the majority of it is off the screen.
         
      • If you wish to view a different stake or game without auto-joining that game, then you must stop Sensei first. 
    • How To Auto-Register For Two Different Types of SNG Tournaments With SNG Sensei

      Automatic registration of SNGs can be managed by separating the SNGs into two components - one for each Buyin and\or SNG type. This guide will walk you through example steps to set up a $15 9-MAX Hyper tournament and a $30 9-MAX Turbo tournament within SNG Sensei.

      $15 9-MAX Hyper Tournament:

      • In PokerStars lobby go to SNG - 1 table - All tab
      • Open filter and set BI min = 10, BI max = 20
      • Set Hyper + 9max in filter, add other filters in the tournament lobby so the PokerStars lobby only shows tournaments you want to play.

      You should now only see tournaments in PokerStars that you want to play. Do not close the PokerStars filter - this must remain open. 

      Next, create a new line in TableNinja II's SNG Sensei and set these options:

      • Concurrent played tables at a time
      • Number of attempts to register at a time (max per cycle)
      • Time between attempts to register (secs between cycles)
      • Press "Click to Save", then Test

      All filters should be applied to the same tab + sub-tab in lobby. In our example we used “1-table – All”, but depending on SNGs you want to play you can use any tab/sub-tab combination, just make sure it is the same in both cases.


      $15 9-MAX Hyper tournament

      $30 9-MAX Turbo Tournament:

       

      • Now set lobby filter to show only $30 turbo 9max SNGs. Make sure you are on the same tab + sub-tab in lobby as it was when you saved the first filter.
      • Set BI min = 20, BI max = 50
      • Set Turbo + 9max in filter, add other filter settings to get lobby with only tourneys you need.

      You should now only see tournaments in PokerStars that you want to play.

      Do not close filter, create a new line in Sensei and set there:

      • Concurrent played tables at a time
      • Number of attempts to register at a time (max per cycle)
      • Time between registering attempts (secs between cycles)
      • Press "Click to Save", then Test


      $30 9-MAX Turbo Tournament

      After the above is complete, set the following options at the bottom of SNG Sensei:

      • Total concurrent SNG to keep playing.
      • Max total # of SNGs (or minutes).
      • And any other options you want.

      Notice: TableNinja II will take care of different types of tournaments that you want to play at the same time.

      Example: if you want to play 4 at a time but to have 3 of them $15 and one $30 - set this in Concurrent SNG at a time. Result: no more than 3 simultaneously opened $15 tables and no less than 1 $30 during all your session.

      Now if you enable both these lines in TableNinja II and start SNG Sensei, you will be registered in two types of SNG according settings you have made.
       

    • SNG Sensei Columns
      • Search Name: Using the Tournament Filter, filter for the types of tournaments you wish to play. Make sure that only tournaments that you wish to play in appear in the lobby. Please also be sure to set a maximum buy-in to prevent any potential problems that might occur due to changes made to tournament tables. Once you have the Filter set up as you like it, enter a name for your Search into the "Saved name" box in TableNinja II and click "save".
      • PS Site: This column will show which site/regional client the filter has been saved for.
      • Concurrent SNGs at a time: This is the max number of games of this type that the Sensei will open.
      • Secs Between Cycles: This is the amount of time you want SNG Sensei to wait before attempting to register you for more games.

        This works together with Concurrent SNG's at a time, Max to Play and Max per cycle.  SNG Sensei will automatically search the lobby and register you, depending on the max number per cycle, to put you in the max number of SNG's to play simultaneously. Secs Between Cycles controls how much time passes between searches.

        This column should be set to a number greater than the amount of time it usually takes for your games to fill. The time also should not be set too low, or it causes Sensei to needlessly run, which can cause less than optimal performance. It also should not be set to run before you would need it to run again. If you are registered in the max for the time, and your SNG average length is 15 minutes, you won't need it to run every 1-3 minutes.  Make sure the time is set in seconds as well.
      • Max Per Cycle: The total number of SNGs you want SNG Sensei to register you for at the same time for each cycle
      • Registered Now: This will show the number of games you have already registered for
      • Saved: This will show you if your current filter has been saved. 
      • Save Now: This will cause the Sensei to save the options you have set on this slot.
      • Test Now: This will test the options you have setup with SNG Sensei before registering you for SNGs.

       

    • SNG Sensei Options
      • Concurrent SNGs to keep playing: This sets the total number of games allowed to be running at the same time.
      • Max SNGs to play (Stop after how many SNGs): This is the total number of SNGs you want to play (all active slots included).
      • Max time to play (Stop after how many minutes): This allows you to stop after a certain amount of time instead of a certain number of games.
      • Max inactivity (Stop if inactive for how many secs): This sets an activity cutoff. If your mouse or keyboard reports no input for a certain amount of time the Sensei will automatically disable itself.
      • Only Register if at least...: If you have players marked with the poker client color marking system, use this to narrow down who you will play against.  For example, lets say you marked players that make bad decisions as green.  You can tell TableNinja II to only register for SNG's with X number of green players that are already registered.   
      • Don't Register if at least...: If you have players marked with the poker client color marking system, use this to narrow down who you will not play against.  For example, lets say you marked players that are really good as red.  You can tell TableNinja II to not register you for any SNG with a player marked red in the poker client.
      • Start: Click this to start the SNG Sensei.  Once you've started SNG Sensei, the Pause and Stop buttons appear.
  • Experimental

    The Experimental tab is used to enable the TableNinja II features which are currently in Beta.

    Experimental

    • Experimental Settings
      • Click Full Tilt Timebacks: Click the time bank when you time out in the Full Tilt poker client.
      • Table Under Mouse: This won't fill presets at Full Tilt Tables if the mouse is moving.  You can adjust this setting by changing the miliseconds.  The higher the number, the more your mouse can move and still fill in preset bets.
      • Enable Positional Betting: This will enable position betting so you can set different bet sizes based on your position.  (Early Position, Middle Position, Late Position, Button, Small Blind & Big Blind.)
    • Aero

      By default, Windows Vista, 7 and 8 all include a feature that uses a desktop display functionality called Aero which contains some components that could conflict with TableNinja II's operations if Aero is not properly enabled.

      • Use Aero: Allows you to use Aero with TableNinja II.  Do not disable this option without explicit guidance from TableNinja Support, this checkbox must be enabled to allow TableNinja II's functions to work properly. 
      • Warn me if Aero process (dwm.exe) goes above X MB of RAM: This will display a message on your PC letting you know Aero is taking up windows resources and it's a good idea to refresh it.
      • Show a Message Box: This will open a popup on your PC warning you that Aero is taking up resources.
      • Show a Balloon tooltip in the system tray: Instead of a popup, a message will appear in your Windows system tray.
      • Restart Aero Hotkey: Add a hotkey to restart the Windows Aero process and clear your RAM.
    • Ninja Vision

      NinjaVision is a new TableNinja II feature that is currently in Beta which lets you stay on top of every hand no matter how many tables you play. This new visual aid combines the best of both worlds by creating a hybrid solution that provides the benefits gained from tiling tables and stacking tables. NinjaVision provides a tiled live overview of all your tables on your monitor, while the actual tables remain stacked. You can easily cycle between the stacked tables by selecting them within the NinjaVision tiled live overview.

      To learn how to use this Beta feature, please review this video guide:

       
  • Help
