Help Me / Transfer TD image to tv screen

« on: March 21, 2010, 08:33:03 AM »

Hey guys, how are ya?  It has been almost two years now and we are still using the TD and loving it.  Last month we decided to show the screen on a TV, it is larger, easier to see.  We finally figured it out and was able to see the image on the tv screen, but we had one problem.  We could not see the full TD screen.  When it was on the tv screen you could see most of the picture but not the bottom of it, so we could see current blinds but not what the next blinds would be and everything else near the bottom was not visible on the tv screen.  Is this making sense?  Is there a settings area on the tv or the computer that will fix this problem?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Help Me / Help with screens

« on: June 25, 2009, 12:27:39 PM »

Hello all!  I have not posted in a while but I have a problem that I cant figure out.  I am sure this is quite easy, I just cant get it.  I printed off the manual last year when I purchased the software so I can usually figure it out....I am stuck on this one.

My problem is, I create a new tournament and I go into my layout page and I add color to some of the text and different fonts and sizes to the text.  This shows up on round 1 but when round 2 hits they are gone.  I have a functional round 2 but it is not customized like round one is.  Round 3 comes and it is back to the screen I created, round 4 comes and back to the plain jane standard screen.  I cant figure it out, I have played with it and read the book but I am stuck.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Scott.

Hey guys, my computer is on the fritz.  It is 5 or 6 years old and for the money I have now dumped into it I could have bought a new one.  My question is if I buy a new computer do I have to pay for the program again?  I just bought it 3 or 4 months ago.  Any help is appreciated.  Scott

General Discussion / Understanding moving players

« on: February 22, 2009, 09:23:22 PM »

Hey all, how's it going?  I used the TD software at our second tournament last night and the program is great.  I do have a question in reference moving players.  I have always played with a group of friends and have never decided to get serious until this year.  We usually had 5 or 6 players and did whatever.  This year I started a leaugue and we have grown to two tables last night, supposed to have been 13 but ended up with 11 players.  We still needed the second table.  We began play and when a player was busted out of table two it wanted to move a player from table 1 in to the table two spot.  We did and from some of the less serious players (1 or 2) it pissed them off.  My question is when am I supposed to move the player or players?  When i busted out the player the TD suggested a move from table 1 to table 2 where the player had just been busted out.  I waited for them to end the hand they were playing and then had the player move.  That player moved to the new seat at table 2 and was busted out a hand or to later.  He got upset and felt that it was because of the move.  Did I move this player correctly?  Do you wait to the end of the round?  Is it appropriate to move the players when the TD suggest it?  Lets say the TD recomends two tables become one because we have lost players and we are down to eight players left at two 9 person tables.  When it moves everyone into one table does it assign a new seat position and is the blinds and button and everything taken into account?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks, Scott.

Help Me / Seating Question

« on: February 17, 2009, 06:06:06 PM »

Hey guys this is probably a very simple thing but I cant figure it out.  For the first time I will have two tables going this Saturday.  I know the software can run two tables but how do I seat the players?  If I have 14 players and they will not know where they are sitting until they arrive Saturday night, how do I manually seat them?  What else do I need to know about running two tables versus the one table?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.  Scott.

Help Me / Tracking the hit

« on: January 15, 2009, 01:41:18 PM »

Hey guys, quick question.  I have played one tournament using the TD software.  During the tournament I kept track of who was busted out and who busted them.  Is there a way to look at that info?  I do not have another tournament to compare it to, but I would like to award points for hits. Can i get to this info?  Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Used the TD for the 1st time

« on: January 11, 2009, 08:50:35 AM »

I used the program last night for the first time and it worked great!  I think everyone liked it except for the slackers in the group who like to conveinently forget the blinds are supposed to go up.   I learned some things on my end that I will make adjustments for next month when we play again.  All in all the TD is awesome!  Just wanted to share that with you guys.  Thanks for all the support that has been given to me leading up to my first tournament.  Scott.

Help Me / Display on TV

« on: January 09, 2009, 02:15:42 PM »

Hello all, I hope everyone's holiday was good.  I have a question today I am hoping someone can help me with.  I am hosting my first tournament of the year and the first one using the TD software.  My laptop is about 4 years old and we have a tv that is 4 to 5 years old, a wide screen.  It seems to me when I bought my laptop the guy told me I could use the tv screen as a display.  Does anyone know how I can do this?  What cable would I need to make the connection?  Am I able to do this?  What is the port called on the tv that I would hook into from the computer?
I would really love to do this tomorrow, any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am gadget/technology challenged.  Thanks for the help in advance.  Scott.

Help Me / Different screens

« on: December 22, 2008, 09:08:41 AM »

This has been answered I am sure, but here it goes.  I have my tournament saved and set up for an upcoming game.  I would like to have the tournament screen setup with a background picture that I have from my pc.  When I start the tournament I would like the picture to go away and I use the default screen, or a custom screen.  Basically a screen with no picture. 

So.......while we are waiting to start have a custom picture in the background.......when we start it switches to a default, or another screen I have set up.  Is this possible?  Any help is appreciated.  Scott.

General Discussion / Buying the Software

« on: December 10, 2008, 07:25:01 PM »

Hello everyone, I am new to the boards but not poker.  We are thinking of taking our poker playing to the next level and I am thinking of buying the software.  Is it worth it?  Usually I only have 5-10 players, but we may be expanding in the future.  Is the software hard to use?  I really dont want to buy it and have to be concentrating on the computer when I am trying to play.  Any thought on this would be very helpful, thanks in advance.  Scott.
