HEM Apps like Table Ninja and Leak Buster

Have you bought any of them? How have they helped? Thanks.

I remember having the trial for Table Ninja when I was playing SnGs and thought it was amazing, just a brilliant piece of software. If you're mass-multitabling it's vital. Never used Leak Buster though

I'm surprised no one here has bought any of these apparently.

I have LeakBuster and TableScanner. Haven't used either very much. I do think LeakBuster is very helpful if you put the time into it, I just haven't yet.

I have LeakBuster and TableNinja. TN is great for multitabling, LB is very good for identifying potential leaks in your game. LB requires an enormous investment of time and study, fwiw, don't buy unless you're willing to commit.

I used TableNinja when it was in the testing phase for FT, but haven't since upgraded and bought it. It is an amazing piece of software if you're multi-tabling, but if you're only playing 4 tables, then don't waste your money on it. I will buy it down the road, I just haven't been putting in my normal volume as of late so right now I have no need for it.

I also have LeakBuster and like sly said, it will only be valuable to you if you're willing to put the time in to it and learn from it, which I imagine many people will do right when they get it, but then won't touch it again for a long time.

I downloaded the free trial of Table Ninja recently. Previously I'd been multitabling 10 sit n gos fairly comfortably - I bought TN as I wanted to increase to 16. The auto 'request additional time' feature really appealed to me as the clock running down was my only real problem with increasing to this amount of tables. However, when I ran it (alongside Poker Tracker) my laptop didn't seem able to cope at all - everything crashed and the screen froze. Tried again a day later and same problem. Bit of a thread hijack but relevent I think: has anyone else had similar problems? Is there anything I can do to sort this? My laptop is a few years old but it copes fine with pokertracker. I'm completely computer illiterate so can't tell you any useful system stats for my laptop but any advice would be appreciated...

TN doesn't use that much CPU or RAM - I've never heard of this being a problem. Try bringing up Task Manager in Windows and look at the performance tab while you have PT3, TN, and the FT client running and see if you're maxing out CPU or RAM.

Thanks Sly. I've just tried this. The CPU usage keeps flicking from around 20% right up to 90% when all 3 clients are running and I've got a load of tables on the go. It didn't crash today but I could tell it was on the verge - tables were popping up very sluggishly and there were slight pauses whenever I choose an action. When I close Table Ninja all these problems disappear. But the CPU usage still flicks about, and still seems to peak at around 90%. Guessing my laptop is jus a bit crap...

Seeming as FT and PT work together by themselves - I think I'm gonna try only running FT and TN together. If this works then it would imply there is no problem with TN and I'll know it's my laptop that's struggling...

I'm guessing it's more of a problem with your computer not being able to handle that many tables, not the extra programs that are bogging you down.
