Essential programs and tools for the Internet poker nerd?

NickyOD

I just came across rocketdock which you can download here and was annoyed I hadn't found it before.

If you've ever used Mac OSX it's exactly the same as the program dock. In Windows it's deadly for grouping your programs in one tidy place so if you like to play a lot of tables but also want to surf and work on other things while you play I think it's the best tool you can use and it's totally free. Put all your programs in the dock and use the ALT+TAB shortcut when they're running to switch between them, and you'll never need to use the stoooopid windows start menu, task bar or quick launch ever again.

Also as the thread title suggests does anyone know of any other useful programs for internet poker nerds?

Nice one, will give it a try!

Cool tool for table selection is Sixth Sense, it uses your PT stats to find weak players, and lets you know what tables they are on!

Wow, How does it search the tables. Does it work on all sites and do you have to have them buddy listed first?

peeko

Oh and GoldMine for mining iPoker, a must.

Works for FT, PS, PP, Bodog and Absolute at the moment.

Guess it's constantly scanning what players are on which tables, and then cross referencing them players against the ones in your DB, and letting you know what tables are good

Shame it's not on ipoker at the moment.

Sixth Sense is ridiculously overpriced. Spadeeye is a much cheaper alternative that has almost identical functionality and unlike 6th Sense, it's a once off payment.

Brilliant, thanks Ian

i use ahk for opening all my programs now and most of my webpages, it's sweet.

this is a list for most of them made for poker, super handy.

SpadeEye is worth getting too.

Yeah but if I use AHK, it means I HAVE to use TWO hands.

Pffft... The **** with that?

Right hand is for mouse, Left hand is for scratching, lifting mug of tea and occasionally typing in weird bet sizes.

SpadeEye is also a datamining tool that can be used on Party and FT, so you get a dataminer and a table selection tool for the price of one....

I got a Trojan Horse notification shortly after installing Rocketdock :eek:
Might be just conicidence but thought I'd better let ye know.

Edit: I think this has nothing to do with Rocketdock to be fair, it might be a false reading even, the file was a partypokersetup.exe.
