RobinP's Full Tilt Tools AHK Script: A Free Alternative

For many who play on Full Tilt Poker, finding AutoHotKey (AHK) scripts in order to ease the burden of multi-tabling has been reduced to two options: Bet Pot (free), which helps you auto-calculate bet sizes on streets, and Full Tilt Shortcuts, which has a ton of features to make multi-tabling easy.  However, Full Tilt Shortcuts isn't free and requires a $30 license free for lifetime usage.

Fortunately, a user on the TwoPlusTwo forums has created a set of very handy shortcuts that may not have all of the bells and whistles of the $30 program mentioned before, but still gives multi-tablers on Full Tilt plenty to enjoy.  Enter RobinP's Full Tilt Tools AHK Script.

Features:
- Jumps to the first table that needs your attention
- Moves the mouse close to the controls
- Highlights the table in bright red
- Active table on mouse-over
- Option to turn on/off options by right clicking the system tray icon
- Auto timebank clicker for all tables

Installing the Full Tilt Tools AHK script is a breeze. Put it where you normally keep these files.  Double click it (assuming you have AutoHotKey installed on your machine) and the script will be ready to go.  To configure many of the features, right click on the script in the task tray (it's near your clock in the bottom right of Windows).  Once you right click, you can turn on or off the four features of the script: Enable Highlight, Enable Activate Under Mouse, Enable Mouse Move, and Enable Time Bank.  Un-checking any feature disables it while the script is active.

The "Enable Highlight" function of the script worked right off the bat.  It highlights the table on your screen that is "active" (meaning it requires your immediate attention) with a thick red line.  The line doesn't blink or do anything super annoying; it just highlights the table and goes away once you interact with it.  The highlight line does not return until your attention is needed once again.

The "Enable Activate Under Mouse" auto-activates a table once your mouse is over it.  If you did not have this function, you would have to click on a table to make it active and then hit the controls.  With this piece of the script, the program will auto-activate the table so you can hit the game play controls one time and be done with your interaction in the hand.

The "Enable Mouse Move" feature is one that users will find either super helpful or super annoying, as it auto-moves your mouse cursor on your screen to the table that immediately requires your attention.  This can really save mouse movement time, but it can be very disconcerting if you're not used to your mouse jumping all over the screen.  The mouse movement is restricted to the first table that immediately requires your attention, so you won't be bouncing around the screen every time a table pops up.

Finally, the "Enable Time Bank" button auto-clicks the Time Bank button at the table to maximize the amount of time that you get while trying to make a decision.  This feature is tremendously helpful for those who play a lot of tables at once because it buys you extra time without having to click all of the time banks at once.  The advantage is to ensure that you don't accidentally time out in a hand and fold what might be a winner.

After using it for an extended amount of time, we can say that RobinP's Full Tilt Tools AHK script is the nuts when it comes to free scripts for Full Tilt Poker. It is a welcome sight for sore eyes in the world of Full Tilt AHK scripts. Post in the AHK Forum if you have any questions.
