GGpoker hotkeys

Issues with misfiring 'bet x bb + stack table' on GGpoker. It happens rarely, but when it happens in hurts!

The bug makes it really scary to play deep stack for 300 bb+....

First, for safety reasons like this, it is best not to use the Advanced Options to auto click bet for these betting hotkeys. And similarly not use the +Stack versions of the hotkeys, if you can avoid it. Then you can visually verify for yourself that the correct betsize was sent to the betbox, incase of bugs like this. Of course, I'm aware that this warning isn't very practical, and would significantly slow you down when multitabling. But I always like to throw it out there

There has been 0 misfires with 'betsize 1', 'betsize 2' and 'betsize 3', unfortunately betsize 3 has to be a POT bet, so i'm missing a betting button

The "BetSizeX" hotkeys are always going to be reliable, because all SAT does is send clicks to those preset betsize buttons on the table.

In contrast, the "Bet x BB" and "Bet Pot%" and "Increase/Decrease Bet" hotkeys need to do calculations, and then manually click the betbox, and then send keystrokes in for the new betsize.

Also, the 3rd betsize button only needs to be set to "Pot" if you are using SAT's "Bet Pot%" hotkeys. If you aren't using those, then you don't need that set. Same with the 4th button being set to "All-in", its only used for SAT's "All-in" hotkey.

'Increase bet' and 'decrease bet' works but is laggy, and sometimes misfires, but without any consqeuences as the bet isn't executed.

You could add a setting in SAT to change how the Increase/DecreaseBet hotkeys work. Adding this line to your File->Current Layout file underneath [settings]:

Code:

[settings]
never_calc_increase_decrease_bet=1

will tell SAT to either click the +/- button on the table (like Party has), or if a site doesnt have these buttons (like GG), then SAT will just send a mouse Wheel Up/Down click. In this case, SAT will not do any math, and simply forward the WheelUp click to the poker client. This should be more reliable. The downside of this is that you cannot use custom increment values such as fractional BBs (since no math is performed). You are limited to whatever the GG client increments for a WheelUp click, since that's all SAT will now send.

About 5-7 misfires in 20k hands: It's like a roulette thing, seems about 1 in 1000 chance I get a random number executed as a bet.

While this doesn't seem like that much of an issure, it truely is

Any help or bug fix will be highly appriciated.

Ok now on to the real issue. This has been reported by a few people over the past few months. I haven't been able to isolate the exact reason, because as you note, it happens so randomly.

However, I have found that by changing the method of sending the keystrokes to the betbox, some players have found it to be more reliable, and so in the next public version, I am changing to this alternative method by default. I'm guessing you're using the latest public release version 2.99.15? You can try the latest development version 2.99.15q here:

Please let me know your experience, if this works better for you. I understand maybe a session or two might not be enough to tell. You'll have to guage how frequently the bug previously occurred, compared to this new version. I look forward to your input.
