Sorry if this is a dumb question. If my understanding is correct TST uses my existing info in HEM to rate the table. If I only have 6000 hands is it going to be any benefit?
Does TST only scan tables I have already opened?
Finally....I get frustrated opening tables in the PS lobby as they are jumping around, moving up and down. I end up on unintended tables. Will this program help with that issue?

if questions seem dumb I apoligize have never had table selection software. Trying to form an understanding.

Thanks
Dave

Hey Dave,

1) Yes the bigger your database the more stats you will have. A lot of people just buy hands from a website like www.thepokerhh.com (http://www.thepokerhh.com), it's very cheap. You could be breaking the TOS on some poker sites but it's definitely the easiest way to get a big database going, unless they start searching people's personal database to see if the hands are their own they really don't have much of a way to detect it so it's very commonplace

2) TableScan will scan any tables you make a "Scan Filter" for in TableScan. There is a filter called "My Open Tables", which is a special feature only available in TableScan Turbo, that will only scan your open tables if you only select it by itself. But, it's very easy to set up a scan filter to scan any stakes or game type you want

3) I know exactly what you're saying about PokerStars jumping around and this program will help with that issue immensely :) Using TableScan Turbo you can quickly select and open multiple tables with a single click
