    Default Problems with Cycling in Sensei

    Site: PokerStars
    Layout: Stacked
    [x] Pop up table whenever action is required
    [x] Table in foreground

    I've set shortcuts to
    "Cycle to first in line"
    "Cycle to next in line"
    "Cycle to prev in line"
    [x] Manually click a table + act, auto Cycles to First in Line
    [x] Acting on Next IL/Prev IL auto Cycles to First in Line

    But, what happens when SNG Sensei opens new table(s):
    - PokerStars client steals the focus for a split second, to register new SNG(s)
    - table that had action in foreground, disappears somewhere in stack
    - when I press "Cycle to first on line" shortcut, nothing happens. Ever.
    - when I press "Cycle to next in line", it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
    - so I end up tapping all my cycling shortcuts, to get some table in foreground
    - when I finally get some table that has action, in forground, the cycling starts working again

    This all just MIGHT be related to number of tables causing delays:

    The "Auto close finished tournaments after _ seconds" doesn't work,
    I tried setting it to 0 seconds first and then to 2 seconds last night.
    Practically none of the SNGs didn't close, but got stuck to the screen where it says
    "Would you like to register for a new tournament or just close this one?" or something similar.

    So I end up having 100+ ended SNGs sitting in sidebar pretty quick (I played Hypers).

    And this? not only caused problems with Cycling shortcuts, but the auto cycling itself:
    sometimes, when I had already pressed action shortcut, TN2 decided to throw another table
    in front that got the action.. I ie. shoved 83o to UG open, 4bet-shoved J2 into 3-ways pot etc.

    As a sitenote:
    Won't it be possible to get SNG Sensei to register SNGs -
    without bringing PokerStars client in front, every time it registers new SNGs?
    With one monitor, that's always a problem in one way or another.
    I remember TN1 been capable of doing this at some point earlier, worked like a charm.

    Wow, I came to the forum to search for a solution since I have the SAME problem that occured a couple of time. I even did the same as you when you say '' I end up tapping all my cycling shortcuts, to get some table in foreground''. I also play Hyper Turbo.

    The only difference is I play with a Xbox Controller.

    Please help us

    EDIT : At least me all my tournament close correctly. Did you check that option in pokerstars ? Anyways I have sent you a pm.

    happened to me 3, tired of chasing that table in action while all my tables sit out, this is so ridiculous, it seems like the hardest part in the session is TN

    maybe we should start a group of damged sng HT players

    1) Stars lobby should be in opened stage to let sensei doing registrations.
    In TN1 it was the same, the same is a way to do as well: move Stars lobby AND filter almost away from monitor. It still be in "opened" stage but will not bother you.

    2) I created a bug ticlet HM-7107 for this losing "first in line" - but please send logs + screen. Note in email with them this is for HM-7107

    How to get logs:
    Please reproduce issue, then go to TableNinja 2 > Setup and click the "Send logs to TableNinja" button.
    Then send a copy of that ZIP file to support@tableninja.com to check it over for errors.
    Also please send a screenshot of your desktop with a table and your HUD displayed.
    See instructions How to make screenhot? Taking screenshots is fast and free. No software to download
    Please send the screenshot even if you don't have a HUD or custom table theme.

    OK, will do.

    But you can already add this to the ticket:

    The bug with table detection and shortcuts, is *not* caused by delays or too many tables.
    For a test, I run only 12 tables last night with Sensei and it still does that what I told, constantly.
    Registration of new SNGs takes focus away from tables and TN2 loses the "first in line" table
    somewhere in stack - and the "first in line" shortcut has never, not even once, worked after that.
    The "previous in line" shortcut usually works best in that situation, but not always.

    And for the notes, the AutoClose feature in TN2 doesn't work at all. It's useless.
    Simply, because the AutoClose doesn't work *at all* in TN2 (as I've described it earlier).
    Fortunately, the auto-close included in PokerStars client, does. So I tick it ON/OFF,
    depending if I play tournaments or SNGs (I don't want MTTs to close automatically, but only SNGs).

    However.. it does work for PartyPoker - when I don't want to.
    I have it ticked OFF, but TN2 always autocloses my MTTs when I exit.
    I've described this in some other bug thread (can't remember which, I've written to so many).

    (removed some frustrated whining from here)

    Added your comment to 7107.

    About Autoclose: it works for me on Stars. Always. Do you have Black lobby? Or it is modded?
    Add, btw - if you set Aotuclose in client, you risk summary file will be not written -> HM do not counts that SNG correct.

    I use PokerTracker 4 that has no problems, whatsoever, with instant AutoCloses.
    I've never missed a single SNG from results and they also match with numbers in Sensei.
    So everything works just fine if I use AutoClose from PS client.

    Anyhow, I'll give the AutoClose feature one more go with Black Lobby theme (I had Europa on EU client) and let you know.
    I would be kinda wierd if it made any difference to anything though.

    I solved some of the problems with setting up poker star hotkey for cycle to first in line, unlike TN hotkey it works! so now every time tn stops cycling for its reasons (to mess with our heads) I just click a button and at least avoid sitouts. nevertheless newly opened sng still cause problems sometimes, and I would just wish for a mode that would never stop cycle, cause anytime cycling stops I lose money...

    Thanks, caspisr - I didn't know PS client has that for shortcuts; I go set it ASAP

    And for the notes:
    I got the AutoClose to work in TN2 by raising the timer from 0 to 5.
    It doesn't work when set to 0 (instant?), but 5 secs seems to be working;
    I think I tried it with 2 seconds too, which didn't work either if I remember.
    Anyhow, with 5 seconds delay I don't have to switch it on and off from PS client now, which is OK for now.
