What software is good for poker table layout?

20.04.2024

Multi-tabling increases the profit from the poker. A player increases the number of tables at the moment when he beats the current limit with confidence. However, multi-tabling brings new problems. Opening an additional window is time-consuming. Reducing the table size manually does not add precious seconds either. The problem of window placement has long been solved by the creators of poker software. In this article we will discuss the best programs for table placement.

General information + list of programmes

Many rooms have partially solved the problem. For example, the software of RedStar Poker and other iPoker Network windows remembers the location of tables. However, the standard window size cannot be set in the settings. Moreover, the software fixes the position of a particular table on the screen. A similar table of the same limit in the next session will have to be adjusted again. The usefulness of this approach is doubtful.

This is where third-party software can help. Here is a brief information about each poker table setting software:

Another part of Jurojin Poker's versatility is the number of supported sites. The software works in: PokerStars, PokerOK, iPoker Network, PPPoker, 888Poker, Winning Network, Chico Network, CoinPoker, Winamax, Bodog, partypoker, Unibet.

The feature set varies depending on the specific room or network

The software works for free in spins up to and including $2. The trial version of the programme supports higher limits, but players will not be allowed to use all the tools. Download the trial from the developer's website.

2. StarsCaption

StarsCaption is an auxiliary programme for PokerStars. For a long time competed with StarsHelper, but the creator of the latter stopped supporting it in 2021. Poker table layout is one of StarsCaption's many tools. The software speeds up and simplifies the game through:

  • hotkeys;
  • betting templates;
  • built-in HUD;
  • blocking pop-ups and other distractions;
  • converting stacks to big blinds;
  • customisation of table appearance and fonts;
  • automatic registration in Sit&Go and Spin&Go;
  • selecting a variety of small parameters, such as auto buy-in.

StarsCaption supports both global client and reservations:

  • PS Europe;
  • PS Italy;
  • PS US;
  • PS PA.

Until recently, the support software ran on PokerStars India, but the reservation changed platforms in March 2024

5. iPoker Tools

iPoker Tools is an auxiliary programme for the iPoker Network. The poker table layout is one of the main functions of the software. A new window opens to the right of the first one. The size of tables depends on their number: the more windows opened, the stronger the scaling. iPoker Tools also has additional features:

  • assigns hotkeys;
  • enlarges fonts;
  • frames tables with a coloured border;
  • converts stacks to big blinds;

  • create betting profiles for preflop and postflop;
  • display an inbuilt HUD with useful information about the progress of a hand;
  • automatically register players for Sit&Go tournaments.

Table Ninja 2 supports all PokerStars and 888Poker clients. The popularity of multi-tabling software went downhill after the release of StarsCaption and 888Caption.
