Stopping individual table going on autowaitlist.

[skinjim]

Excellent product.

1) I have been running the scan over many sites/stakes.
I am having tables pop up all the time with a seat available because I am using autowaitlist. However, some of them I dont want to sit at. When I dont sit down the table keeps flashing up until there is a waiting list.
It would be good to be able to stop individual tables from going on autowaitlist even though they come within my filters or is there already a way to do this?

2) On the odd table, especially I have noticed on party, I keep going backwards on the waiting list!! By clicking on anything on your program could I be telling it to go to the back of the list? It is only the odd table. Or is it likely to be a problem just with party?

Keep up the good work.

Thanks jim :)

1) There are two things I plan to do to address this problem after I release v1.0
- A new feature "don't allow tablescan to open tables more than once in X minutes"
- A new feature where you can right click a table and choose "block table from autowaitlist" for X minutes

Unfortunately right now there is not a really good way to do it. I think maybe the best way is probably to go to Configure > Autowaitlist, then turn on the option "dont allow tablescan to join waitlists of tables where I have manually joined or left within X minutes". Then find the table in TableScan and right click > join waitlist. But, "join waitlist" will probably be grayed out (because the table isnt full) so you would have to select it with another table that is full. It's a crazy solution, I know, but it should work :) You could also add a condition to your filter "# of Blocked 0-0" and then block whatever player at the table is making you not want to sit, but that only works if there is a player there that you actually want to block from autowaitlisting

2) There was a bug a long time ago, when there was a "seat available" popup on partypoker, and autowaitlist tries to join the waitlist for that table at the same time, then it would put you at the back of the waitlist. I made a feature to fix it, so TableScan actually checks all your seat available popups before attempting to join any waitlists, as far as I know that is still working, but one thing is it might not work if the lobby isn't in english.

Otherwise, the only thing I could guess is like a table stops meeting your filters, and then autowaitlist leaves the table, and then the next person who gets in is a fish, so the table gets filtered again and puts you back at the end?

One important thing to know is that if you tell tablescan to join a waitlist, it will never leave a waitlist you are already on, it has code for every site to detect if you are on the waitlist, and it would never click the button when you are already on the waitlist. In the case of partypoker join waitlist and leave waitlist are actually 2 different buttons so I don't think it's possible that TST could ever "accidentally" take you off a waitlist
