LP Card Room Features and Tips

**WinJStar** · 03-12-2009, 10:44 PM

One word of caution. I am sure there will be a random glitch here and there. We are after all, brand new.

I highly recommend everyone download the software. The Instant Play option is still glitchy. It works well if you have a mac that is not an intel. Trust me, as a mac user...use boot camp and download the software. (at least until you see all the capabilities). 50% of the capabilities below are not available on the instant flash version. It is being worked on.

When signing up it will ask you for a user name and a nickname. Your user name is for personal use only and for when you log in. Your nickname is what is visible to players. (ie - My username is JenniferW and my nickname is WinJStar.)

I have basically discovered you can do anything from tools/options and by right clicking everything.

Photo Avatars
If you want to play without avatars, just switch the avatars off.

Table

With Move here option available via right click you can change your seat (but not the order in which cards are dealt)

Sounds: Winning sounds, alert sounds, dealer speech and the volume can all be switched off/on.

Resizable tables: Drag you table size to larger or miniscule via the lower right hand corner.

Animation: Switch on/off and change the speed of all animated actions, such as card and chip movements or dealer push.

Dealer Options

"Dealer Push" -
Did you get a bad deal? Do you want to change your dealer? Want to let off some steam? Just shove that dealer off the table! Place your mouse on the dealer's chest for a change.

"Dealer Speech" can also be switched on or off.

Buddy List:

From the lobby menu or on the lobby itself you can select "Buddy List". Add a fellow player's nickname and you can easily locate which table they are at or tournament they are registered in. You can also be at a table with someone and right click on their avatar to add them to your list. If you are looking to be incognito for the evening, you can hide your presence as well.

Chat
No other way to say it. It sucks. It is way too sensitive. I am working on a way to modify that. In the meantime you can get away with saying just about anything by putting a space between 2 letters. "Llama Balls" and "Fook" are all acceptable terms at an LP table.

The chat box is not resizable and does not pop out. (Working on this.)

The chat options:

Chat on/off, with...
Dealer everything: The dealer writes everything that happens on the table
Dealer normal: The dealer writes winning hands and dealt cards
Dealer summary: The dealer writes winning hands and connection issues only.

Chips

Use blank chips in different colors representing the different values, or switch on the "Values on Chips" option which shows you the total value of each pile of chips on the table, including the pot. Very useful.

HAND AND CARD OPTIONS

Hand History
Here you'll see the last 50 hands played (if you still care). You can even copy and paste these any place you want (like into your Player Notes), send them to your ex, preserve them for future generations, etc.

"My Folded Hand"

This option displays your folded hand throughout the remainder of the game so you can see if / what you would've won / lost had you stayed in. But be careful: You may never sleep again!

Change Your Cards

Using this option, you can change the color and format of your cards

Card Face: Standard, Standard 4-color, Large Index, Large Index 4-color, Classic

Card Reverse: 10 different colors to choose from!

STATISTICS & NOTES

Statistics
Here you see all of your game statistics, such as:

Hands played/won in/out of showdown

Fold Statistics: Pre-flop, flop, turn, river, no fold

Game Actions: Initiated by you - Fold, check, call, bet, raise

Player Notes

Write notes, copy and paste game and hand histories, chat text, etc. to help you develop better strategies against your opponents! You can right click on a person to tag them or make a note. You can also use a drop down menu beneath the chat box to select a player.

Just playing my 1st SNG - the James T Kirk style dealer commentary is cracking me up!

**WinJStar** · 03-20-2009, 02:08 AM

^^^Hahaha you can turn it off u know. Be sure to change the dealer and listen to how their voices change. Cracks me up!

Just an FYI....I happen to love our look and design, but at some point in the future we do intend to have a different background choice that will be lighter if you should prefer. I don't anticipate this for at least a month or so. I feel so bad for the management company. You all know what a perfectionist I am, the list is a mile long. I don't dare ask for a background option any time too soon.
