OpenHoldem Preferences – ↓Autoconnector

• Auto-Connect
  • Never: The former default but now outdated classical method. The clumsy and error-prone manual-connection is gone, but this option is still supported for the rare case that anybody wants to control all connections with his hopper. Please refer to the chapter “Automatization” for more details.
  • Once on start: This option will cause OpenHoldem to auto-connect exactly once on start. This setting is especially useful in combination with the option to automatically choose a table. If no table exists, that fits to a tablemap — or if all such tables are already getting served — , it will fail silently and behave the default way, waiting for a connection-message.
  • Permanent: This setting will cause OpenHoldem to try to auto-connect once every heartbeat. After some refactoring OpenHoldem does now cache the connection-data of all known table maps and all instances of OpenHoldem are now synchronized. If one instance fails to connect, the other ones will be blocked for the next N seconds. So the system-load is now astonishing low, even with dozens of instances waiting for tables. Therefore this option became the new default.
• Close OH when table disappears: This option will terminate OpenHoldem, when the poker table stops to exist, e.g. when the table got closed by the hopper or when you get moved to another table in a MTT. This method is for you, if your philosophy to do reconnects is to close OpenHoldem and to simply fire up another instance or if you want to easily shut your botting system down at the end of a session.
