Autofold your junk hands in multi-tabling?

Would it be useful to be able auto-fold your junk hands in multi-tabling?
I think there is a way.

It is very useful, but there are some rare situations that arise where junk hands will win you money.

Depends what you define as junk. A-10 off-suit is junk in my book. Don't think that most would agree though!

It IS junk at a full table. 6 handed, not so much. I am sure OP is talking about multi tabling full ring.

um try clickin the auto fold button lol.

Do you mean like a script tht will fold certain hands automatically without you being required to press a button?

I think that is what he means, yes.

Most poker sites would call that a third-party program. Get caught, you're done.

yea sounds like you want a preflop bot!!!!!! lol i wouldnt mind one of those. Then when i go on a bad run i would no i wasnt playing to many hands pf, which is usually the problem

If you want a pre-flop bot all you need to do is have a starting hand chart and DISCIPLINE - Of course, if it were that simple, we'd all do it.

Not when opening the pot from the button

Ok, so a program that autofolds pre-set junk hands is an extremely horrible idea, because there is always a certain situation where these junk hands can come in to play, like stated above, by me.

agree

i think it would be a handy tool for the actual poker room to set up. (assuming the whole "is poker rigged" thing is not true! lol)

I don't have the time for play for five or six hours, so when I play in bigger tourneys with well over 1000 players that first couple of hours i'm invaribaly folding the majority of hands.

I'm usually also working (i work online) and doing some of the more mundane tasks that I can do while waiting for a playable hand.

I would love to be able to fold say, every 72 offsuit, etc and not have to keep going backward and forward between screens.

But hey, thats just me. some people have half a day to play in tournaments

Or some people play poker because they enjoy playing so dont mind how long it takes and folding 2,7 is part of the fun

Who folds 2-7 these days??

Its an all in hand

Never auto fold!!!!! this will take away from your table image and let you bet yourself into a corner.

you want to see every hand and take some time before folding even though it is a no brainer. Let them thinkyou are having a hard time letting it go. This alone strenghtens you image and makes you a respectable player at the table.....

Disagree. With so many table I can only use premium hands.

what? How does instantly folding take away from your image? What would opponents do different that would hurt you if you folded instantly? I disagree.

I usually auto-fold junk hands, but there was a situation today in a Bodog tourney where I took quite a long time. We had one player that kept saying zzzzzzzzzzzzz every time someone took more than about 3 seconds to decide what to do, so I took much longer than usual to fold until eventually they stopped saying zzzzzzzzzzzzz Bit immature of me I know, but people like that annoy me...Can you please give an example?

Players may also think you are an extremely weak player for being so indecisive with your moves. Just fold normally, whether it be checking the box, or waiting until it is your turn to act.

You are in the big blind with one of these junk hands. Flop hits you big but you have it on auto-check/fold and do not get back to that table in time to react to a bet.

Ah, I think I may have misunderstood what was being talked about here. I'm talking about folding junk hands in the first round. By the time the flop appears I would have folded anyway. I was expecting your example to be more along the lines of:

I'm BB, everbody folds except me and SB, SB raises, I only have 72os but in this instance I would do such-and-such, whereas an auto-folder would have automatically folded my cards to the raise...

That too.

And as the saying goes, one man's trash, is another man's treasure.

^^^^^ this

i don't really think that it takes away from your image at all but assuming that it does as you say, i think you more than make up for it by turning your hollywooding time into productive time on other tables where you might have a decision or hand to play out

Well autofold is nice but u have to distinquish.

For example Trash Hands in Button or Blind position is still fairly valueable with stealing

No matter how rudimentary it might be, any bot will be considered illegal and you risk losing your bankroll. Preflop bot has some sort of stealth install, but that doesn't mean it will stay hidden forever.

I'm assuming OP is talking about making life easier for those that play many tables at the same time.

Here is an example of what he might mean ....................

You always play 24 tables each session.
You don't have time to get too creative or tricky.
You only play premium hands to be able to manage 24 tables at once.
Image means nothing to you.
Having to constantly fold junk at 90% of your tables is a big pain in the ass. An even bigger pain in the ass when you are involved in 4 big pots at once.
Auto-fold junk would allow you to play 48 tables at the same time.
Your player points and VIP status and profit ( if a regular winning player ) sky rocket.
Happy days.
Where did you leave the keys to your Ferrari.

...................................

Software of that kind is prohibited at all ( that I am aware of ) poker sites.
Saying that, if the sites themselves wanted to add it to their options like they do with many other functions, that would be different.

I actually started a thread touching on this sort of thing if anyone is interested. ( nobody has been so far )

If Regulation And Legitimacy Takes Place

Surprised you havent been caught yet. Stars or Tilt will ban u for this bot.
Face it, this thread is about bots, thats what the OP is suggesting, and as you can see they are banned. Except for me of course, I am Bot (see my thread), in stealth mode.

^^^^ Well, I'll be snookered...

I believe that you should always take your time evaluating your hands, no matter how junkie they are. More than just you cards should be evaluated before deciding to fold a hand, so auto-folding would prevent you from 'stealing' in obvious situations.

i don't usually use the auto fold option, but sometimes when i'm playing 2 or 3 tables and things are getting crazy i will use it. or if i'm in a big hand, and don't want to wait for another table to get around to me, i'll check auto fold, and focus on my big hand.

when you play multitable its a must for me to use the check-fold or auto-fold button some times i forget to use it and then i go sitout and miss a few hands.
but only @ multitabling

I removed the links to the "bot" (or what you want to call it) website, for two reasons:

1. The legality of the SW is in question. While Party may not have banned it ("yet" as they said), I think it's very dubious whether Stars or FTP allow it.
2. When someone with a very small number of posts links a website, it's usually an advertisement. That may or may not be the case here, but when in doubt, I remove the link.

I dunno if it were me and I were playing so many tables that I felt the need to automate my game then maybe I would consider moving up the stakes and playing fewer tables.
