Stars Filtered SNG Opener Releases Version 4.0

Users of the popular Stars Filtered SNG Opener script received some good news recently on the TwoPlusTwo forums when Everlong announced that he was working on Version 4.0.  In the brief post, he stated that this new edition would check the PokerStars log file for registered tournaments instead of using the menu.  This change in script logic represents the potential for a huge difference in timing performance.

Stars Filtered SNG Opener is an open-source AutoHotKey (AHK) script that makes registering for multiple sit and go tournaments a breeze.  The process of registration is automated through a simple user interface with pre-set parameters.

Its features include:
· Automates sit and go tournament registration
· Allows a user to continuously register or register in sets
· Supports multiple formats of sit and go tournaments
· Allows a flexible number of sit and go tournaments to be open at a single time
· Simple and straightforward graphical user interface

Clearly, this tool is for high-volume sit and go players who want to continuously enter without hassle.  It really helps a high-volume player become much more efficient, as when one (or multiple) tournaments are finished, the next ones are automatically registered and the user can keep their focus on the tables they are still playing on.

The new 4.0 edition is currently in a private beta phase, but is open to anyone who wishes to get in on the process.  Early estimations, according to the post, are that the new 4.0 edition of the Stars Filtered SNG Opener will be released around the last week of May.  This is great news for sit and go players who have clamored to get onto the beta test.

Patrons of this script also use Stars Debustifier, which automatically closes tournaments and sit and gos when a player wins or busts.  The most recent edition of the Stars Debustifier script is Version 0.7, which allows a user to select the folder with the PokerStars log files.  This method is reportedly 10 times faster than the old version and users of the Opener script are hoping for similar returns in improved performance with the new 4.0 edition upgrade.

This potential for the script to scan the PokerStars log file instead of the menu represents a significant change in the way the program works.  Instead of working “top down” in the menu and going one-by-one to check all of the tournaments within your parameters, the script would simply scan through the singular PokerStars log file.  Many hope that this change in the program’s functionality will greatly improve its performance similar to what this same “change in thinking” did for the Stars Debustifier script update.
