Table Ninja 2 Introduction

TableNinja II is designed to automate the repetitive and annoying parts of online poker so that you can focus on the tough decisions, play more tables, and take your game to the next level.

Use this page as a starting point to understand how TableNinja II works.

What gametypes does Table Ninja II Support

Supported Gametypes

Table Ninja II supports both Holdem and Omaha.

How can i use a gamepad or joystick with Table Ninja II

To use TableNinja II with a joystick you will need to download and use a third party program such as Xpadder®.

TableNinja II does not directly read joystick input, but this program will convert your joystick input into keyboard or mouse commands which TableNinja II can then assign to hotkeys.

Does the cycle hotkey turn off when i target non poker site tables

No. The Cycling Tables hotkeys stays on even when you are using other programs so that you can easily switch back to your tables anytime you like. Because of this we recommend assigning these hotkeys to a key you do not regularly use in other programs.

Will table ninja work with my AHK Scripts

AHK Script Compatibility

We try to make TableNinja II compatible with scripts and other programs when possible. However, there may be issues when using other programs, particularly ones that interact with poker site tables.

If you are running other programs or scripts with TableNinja II and you find a feature does not work properly please try and turn off your other programs and see if you still have the same problem.

How is pot size calculated for the percentage pot bets?

Pot Size Calculation Explanation

When you are the first to bet on a given street the pot-size is simply the total amount bet on all previous streets. In situations where someone else has bet in front of you TableNinja II calculates a pot-percentage bet as the amount of chips that have been bet prior to your action plus half of a minimum raise times the specified percentage, plus half of a minimum raise.

Pot Size Calculation Example

For example, if you are first to act on the flop and the pot is 1000 and 80% pot bet would 800. As a second example, if the small blind and the big blind post the blinds and two players limp an 80% pot sized bet would be 4.6 big blinds. That's 80% of 4.5 big blinds plus one additional big blind.

What are the system requirements for Table Ninja II

TableNinja II does not support the Windows XP operating system. TableNinja II needs the Windows Aero theme to function correctly and XP doesn't supply this theme.

Supported Operating Systems:

Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8

TN2 Betting Tab

Besides the usual Bet Actions, you can create hotkeys for betting a specific portion of the pot, a specific number of blinds, or a combination thereof. Each betting hotkey can be broken into Preflop/Flop/Turn/River.

For instance, you can bet 60% pot preflop, 50% pot on the flop, 40% pot on turn and river.

In addition, you can fine-tune your default bets or hotkeys depending on your position at the table, or depending on current BB size in tournaments and SNG tables. For example, you can have a hotkey that will bet 3 blinds, and then less and less, as the blinds grow.

Note: Betting lines are used in order. For tournaments, betting lines should be ordered from the largest BB to the smallest BB like it is in the Default Betting / Filter section above. Below is a flowchart that explains this:

TN2 Table Control - Layout

CHANGE LAYOUT

Table Layout:
Select your table layout style. If your tables are arranged in a grid, select "Tiled". If you stack, select "Stack". If you cascade, select "Cascade". If you want tables stacked but active tables to be automatically tiled choose "Ninja Stack". You can also choose custom and save a custom layout. Or if you want to have multible stacks for specific tables then you can choose Multi Stack layout.

Click the EDIT button to tell TableNinja II what monitor tables should be placed on when you stack, tile, cascade, Ninja tile, etc.

Click the EDIT button to tell TableNinja II what size you want your tables for each layout option.
For more information when clicking the EDIT buttom, CLICK HERE.

Re-Apply Layout - If you close a table it can leave gaps on your screen. Pressing this hotkey will rearrange your tables so there are no gaps.
Re-Apply Layout, Move table aside tables back into layout - If enabled then any tables that are set aside will go back into the current layout if Re-apply layout HK is clicked.
Auto Preview - When ON and you select a layout, TN2 opens the same window as if you pressed EDIT. You can then change table positions and sizes.
Show Next In Line table behind Target - TN2 will stack a 2nd or 3rd table requiring action right behind the current table that is in focus. Useful for the Cascade layout or tiled layout when tables overlap.
None - This hotkey will remove all TN2 table positions and position tables like TN2 is not running.
Tile - This hotkey will allow your Poker Client to tile your tables.
Note: When using the Tile layout, other tables are placed on your screen from left to right, top to bottom so it's best to set the tile layout in the top left of your screen.
Cascade - This hotkey will allow your Poker Client to cascade your tables.
Stack - This hotkey will allow your Poker Client to stack your tables.
Ninja Tile - This layout will pull the active table from your stack and tile it automatically. Once you take an action the table will be reinserted into your stack.
Custom Layout - This will cause TableNinja II to switch to the custom layout you saved. Custom layouts allow you to position tables wherever you like on your monitors.
Mult-Stack - This will arrnge tables into multiple stacks depending on what you have set example 4stacks 5 stacks etc.

CUSTOM LAYOUT

New tables will be put into slots like this:

Incrementally. Each new table into the next free slot - This will place tables in order as they are opened. (Table position 1, then 2, then 3 and so on.)
Depending on the table's location, into the nearest free slot - This will place tables to the closest table position when tables are opened. (If a table is opened closest to table position 3, then it will be placed in table position 3, even if table positions 1 and 2 are free.)

MULTI-STACK LAYOUT

- I want to use X stacks - To select how many stacks you want use the drop down menu and choose 4 for example, to edit where the slots go and to resize them to fit your monitor select the Edit Slots tab.
- Hotkeys - You can assign Hotkeys so that you can move specific tables into specific slots ie FTP tables can go in one stack and PS tables in another.

If no tables matches, move new tables to

- Least Occupied - Moves new tables to the stack that has the les amount of tables
- Stack 1 - will move new tables to stack one etc

Cycling Hotkeys work

* Across all tables - If enabled when you cycle tables it will cycle through all tables in all stacks
* For the stack under the mouse - This will only cycle through tables where your mouse is over, for instance if your mouse is over stack 2 then we will only cycle through tables in stack 2
* For the stack containing the active table - We will cycle ONLY through the stack where the active table is.

Filters

The filters for Multi-Stack work the same as filters for the Preset bets, see screenshot below

You can use the following filter Fields:

SB
Example: sb > 0.01 && < 0.05

BB
Example: bb > 25 && bb 0 && ante 0.02 && bb < 0.10
Slot 3: seat_count = 6

Say you open a 0.02/0.05 6-handed table. In this case, it will go to slot 2 (since filters are executed top-down, filter for slot 2 is executed before slot 3)

If you would want the filter for slot 3 to execute first, you can force that by preceding it with an {index}. The {index} forces the filter to be executed {index}th, instead of according to the slot number.For example, in order to force the filter for slot 3 to execute first, you would write "{1} seat_count = 6"

Slot 1: istournament
Slot 2: bb > 0.02 && bb < 0.10
Slot 3: seat_count = 6

Say you open a 0.02/0.05 6-handed table. In this case, it will go to slot 2 (since filters are executed top-down, filter for slot 2 is executed before slot 5)

If you want the filter for slot 5 to execute first, you can force that by preceding it with an {index}. The {index} forces the filter to be executed {index}, instead of according to the slot number. For example, in order to force the filter for slot 5 to execute first, you would write "{1} seat_count = 6"

Edit Slots - Allows you to place the slots/stacks anywhere on your screen.

TILE LAYOUT

* I want a fixed Number of X slots - If enabled then we will setup a fixed layout for tile that only allows that number of slots, for example if you choose 10 slots then we will allow for 10 tables in the tile layout and any more above this will not tile.
* Put new tables in existing empty slots -When enabled If you close a table or a table is auto closed then a new table will go into that available slot

NINJATILE LAYOUT

In NinjaTile layout you can now choose where you want the Main stack to appear and where you want the tile slots to appear (the tables where you are involved in action)

See the screenshot below, In this example we have choosen to have the main stack in the centre of the monitor and for all other tables where i am still involved in a hand to start from the top left corner of the screen and tile from left to right.

if you wish to see all the Grid Slots then you simply click on Show all slots and this will show you where all the slots for the tables with action will appear you can move them around and resize them to what ever you want.

Please note that we do have a Filter for Ninja tile but it is not available yet and will be coming soon.

TABLE LAYOUT EDIT BUTTON

MONITORS

This displays all the monitors connected to your PC. Select which monitor you want to use for each layout. In the screen above, I have monitor both selected for "Tile."

EDIT

Clicking Edit places a dummy table in gray on your monitor. Note that when you click the edit button, you are editing the layout selected on the left. In the screen above, this is set to "Tile."
Resize the table dragging the outlines of the window
Place the table by moving it to where you want your tables to be placed.

SHOW "TABLE ASIDE (TA) SLOTS

When you have a hotkey assigned to Set Tables Aside, use this to turn this feature on and off.

ADD TA SLOT

Click the Add TA Slot to tell TableNinja II where to place the Set Table Aside.
