If you still use Holdem Manager. To stop the PKR hand histories being moved to C:\HMArchive\, you should do the following in Holdem Manager.

* Menu \ Options \ Configure Auto Import Folders...
* You will see the PKR folder listed. Highlight it, and click the Edit button.
* Tick " Disable Archiving "

This may make it slightly slower to import hands into Holdem Manager, but I don't think you'll notice, unless you're trying to auto import while you play, which is not advisable.

The benefit is that you can still use poker officer and poker officer was updated to work with 9 tables in PKR 2.0 already.

Also, HEM doesn't support PKR 2.0 hand history yet, so you'll want to stop importing to HEM until that is fixed.

multi-tabling post again...

Ok I tried it, and got up 9 tables, stopping after each one to see how it looks.

It isn't really compatible with dual-monitor setups. You can drag the window across 2 screens, but it doesn't work properly. When it scales different numbers of tables, or goes back to the single table view, the split between your monitors gets in the way.

I have a fairly average-to-good monitor, 1680x1050, 23 inches. At any more than 2 tables, the multi-view becomes impossible. So now this is like an overcomplicated side-bar that covers the whole screen, but you can't really play from this view or see what is going on! The 3D avatars disappear, you can't really see the action, it's difficult to see who has cards and "who has bet what" because it's small. Maybe lots of practise will make this familiar but it looks too complicated to follow on my first impression.

You can use F1-F9 to switch tables into a single table view, and I think actually playing properly I'd have to do all my actions in this single table view. The problem is that in single-table view, it's difficult to keep track of your action on other tables because there is no side bar.

Would have been better to just have a 2D sidebar like before. At least with that you could view your cards, and fold trash easily without switching view. So, just support 9 tables in a side bar. Or support a detachable side bar or multi-view window, so you can have the multi-view on one monitor, and the single-view on the other. Multi-monitor setups aren't that common though, so maybe just having a side bar in the single-view is what we need.

Looks like another few weeks of beta testing is needed, especially with multi-tabling. Can we go back to the old version before everyone leaves PKR?

I used to find 4 tabling no problem, the sidebar was clear and easy to use, and it was obvious when action was on me at any table. Even when multi-tabling, the emotes and 3D is a feature I liked. It's good to wind people up and have fun. I haven't tried 2.0 yet because I'm at work but it sounds obvious that it's going to be horrible.

I check raise bluff a guy on the flop, and he still calls with an underpair. Luckily I hit top pair on the turn, and check raise shove him, and he still calls!

Please add your hands where you made a big bluff and failed, or someone called a huge bet with a bluff catcher... happy

yeah I call his 4-bet with position because he's got so little behind that if he's got a hand that's going to call a shove, it's going in on the river anyway.

but just calling, he might still spazz out on the river thinking I'm weak.

Looking for a new hand to discuss strategy. This isn't really strategy based though. NL50 isn't just ABC.. some people are totally bizarre!... So amazed he continued to spew after so many reraises, when any club beats him.

juniorinho has checked twice, when he would surely bet if he had a 3, or JJ. What does he represent here? He would fold 22 on the turn.

He might have a K, or QT, I reckon he's bluffing, or thinks KJ is the best hand.

Call :-)

Good point if you aren't really betting missed overs, I get it.

So if he often has a boat, maybe you're mistake calling the flop has just saved you $750. happy

Good hand to think about. ty

People don't realise the BB is the 1st bet preflop.

If he's only check-raising 2 pair or better, then a reraise on the flop is the only way to play it. You rep an overpair, and he commits.

I wouldn't flat call the flop, you hate to see the board pair, and any 4 or 5, 9 or 10 also give you a hard time.

On the turn it is tricky. It's only $335 but it's making you decide if you're committing your whole stack. Good spot to for him bluff cheap because you flat called the flop though. If he was check raising you off your perceived high cards, because of this flop, then he might follow up here.
