I’d like to write macros (or whatever) to make my calls verbally at the poker stable, instead of using keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks. The possible keybaord calls are all preceded by ALT which must be depressed while depressing the 2nd letter: C = **Check** or **Call** F = **Fold** K = **Check** if no one has bet, **Fold** if someone has bet R = Double Previous Bet Another type of **Raise** for which you can plug in the amount you want to risk All-In = You bet everything you have. Hard to do for a computer cretin like me? ---

Sorry I can’t offer help on the how to, but first thing that came to mind when I read your post- make sure to make the commands completely different in sound from each other…“call” and “all in” sound a little too close for comfort for me, there’s no undo in online poker obviously! ---

Good point. Thanks.
