I’m a little scared to use hotkeys, the only thing I can agree on is to bind some kind of key to the fold action. In fact, if there is a chance of equipment marriage, then there’s no point in using it, because it doesn’t greatly simplify the game itself. I would like to know what you think about this topic.

No as too worried I would accidentally make the wrong play, e.g. I want to shove on table 1 but them I end up shoving table 2 by accident!

I'm sure with practice it would be fine, but I am happy to do it manually for now. The more tables you play the more necessary using hot keys becomes

Yes every time because it helps a lot in multitabling

no, I do everything with my hand I don't like to do it with a keyboard in poker because I think I'll accidentally press another button and it's convenient for me to do it with the mouse I think poker is like any card game doing all these actions with one mouse is not a difficult game to use another keyboard

I set the hotkeys on pokerstars and after a while they stop working. Even when I set them again.

Yes, I do use the hotkeys.

If the room allows to use the mouse for setting the hotkeys, then I set "fold" for clicking on the wheel (usually it's check/fold button). Trust me, you can't accidentally press the mousewheel, unless you had a glitch in your head and mixed the buttons up 😄😄

And as for the rooms which only allow to use keyboard hotkeys, then the fold button for me is F5. I haven't had any problems with it either.

Not hotkeys, but I do try to customize the bet buttons on sites when it's able to be done.

I only use the mouse. I'm already used to it, and besides, my keyboard is quite far away on the table, and when I'm comfortably seated in a chair, I have to reach for the keyboard first to press a button. Comfort comes first, so in my case, only a mouse :)

I agree, it is more convenient to play many tables with them. There are small keyboards with only a few buttons, I want to buy one for myself.

I always use hotkeys , they make your life much easier . Especially with fat too many tables open at the same time , I think there is no other alternative then . I find a problem with Bwin . I have only F1 F2 F3 for fold call bet . I need more options , like at PS , their hotkeys choices is awesome , you can choose any hotkeys that you like .

Very much use the hotkeys, but do occasionally end up folding or calling when I'm typing in a different window. Still, hasn't lead to a huge mistake, but I suppose it's inevitable to happen at least once or twice in the long run.

I don't use hotkeys myself but I'm sure it's a very useful thing when you play many tables at the same time

I don't use hotkeys, I'm too afraid of bumping the keyboard and unintentionally doing something wrong.
