Universal betpot and layout manager

ru

Important note. The developing of the project is suspended now until next notice because I've no sufficient time for support. Sorry for it.

Preface

This program was originally created as betpot and arranger program only for ongame network. Now its functionality grows up. The goal is do the same functionality for all most popular poker rooms such as poker stars, full tilt, party, ipoker network, microgaming network. Now program arranges tables in all six rooms/networks, betpot works for all rooms except party poker. Program works under every custom mod and under every language of poker client. Thanks to all who give me some helpful advice and found bugs. There is discussion on forum twoplustwo.com

Note for users of previous versions. Since version 1.03 comma key can't be used as hotkey! If you used this key please redefine it.

Note for users of previous versions. Program has been renamed so it setups in another directory now. If you want to use previous config of ongamehelper just copy it from old directory (usually C:\Program Files\ongamehelper\ongamehelper.cfg) to new one (usually C:\Program Files\ubetpot)

Prerequisites and first run

You should setup "show fold warning" flag.

If you'll use betpot functions for other rooms then you should setup "show fold warning" flag if it's exists.

On the first run you should setup layout of the tables. Press settings and "layout management" button, next setup sizes and coordinates (details here), please setup other parameters if it is necessary

Setup layout configuration

You should set arrangement of the tables that program can place them correctly. It's possible to setup up to 32 tables. Every table has its own window number which give order of tables appearance. If new table appears then program find free place with minimal number. Lets we have positions for six tables from 1 to 6, for simplicity location of other tables isn't showed. If new table will appear then program place it on the table2 cell, because this cell is empty now.

Program tries to move tables to empty cells how it's shown on the picture below. If we have only five open tables and second cell is empty then program move sixth table in the second cell.

table window description

• position - location of the table in screen coordinates
• size - size of the table in screen coordinates

  Note. All tables have the same size

• tile right/bottom - dispose all tables by tile, at first right then bottom
• tile bottom/right - dispose all tables by tile, at first bottom then right
• cascade - dispose all tables by cascade
• move to bottom - move this table behind all others
• left button - moves table on one pixel left (only current table)
• up button - moves table on one pixel up (only current table)

• save and exit - save layout and exit
• cancel and exit - exit without saving layout
• [+]/[-] - increase/decrease size of all tables by one pixel

Note. Height of tables can differ from room to room for the same width! So after moving of the tables height can be changed by poker client

Helper windows for tournaments

For every tournament program shows window with additional information. It contains

• current level of blinds small blind / big blind / ante
• time which remains until blinds will increase minutes : seconds
• tournament number
• buy in size

Note. To change location of additional window you should press right mouse button on it and then drag it to appropriate position. Release right mouse button to fix location. Changing of location of the window is the same with windows of holdem manager.

Note. You can customize this window for every room or turn it off

In all other cases program outputs information which show statistics basically for tournaments. Now only ongame and fulltilt sitngos are supported.

SitNGoWizard<->HoldemManager

This button finds correspondence between numerations of sng wizard and holdem manager. Who use both this applications for analyzing knows that applications have different numbers for the same tournament in ongame network. This is the reason of difficulty for analyzing of the session. While you are playing the session program shows tournament numbers of sng wizard. To collate numbers you should select folder with history. It can be folder of holdem manager archive or folder where ongame client stores history. After that, program shows list of all finding tournaments. The information consists of three columns: sng wizard tournament number, holdem manager tournament number, buy in.

Two upper fields help us to find needed tournament. If you type first digits of needed tournament then program filters the list. You can type fist digits for sng wizard of holdem manager tournament number.

On the picture below finding correspondence shown
