Absolute Buddy

+ Managing your buddies

AbsoluteBuddy displays your buddies when you are logged on to the poker software.

The status of a buddy is indicated by how that buddy APPEARS in the list.

Faint, gray, listings - Buddy is NOT logged into the poker site

Bold listings - Buddy IS logged into the site

Larger, bold, listings with triangle on left side - Buddy is logged in AND is seated at a table

Clicking on the triangle next to a seated player will display the table name(s) at which they are seated.

Positioning your cursor over the buddy's name, or over the table, will display additional information about the buddy or table.

Double-clicking (or right-click "Open Table...") on a TABLE NAME will automatically launch your game software and take you to the table in observer mode.

+ Adding a Buddy

Right-click on their user name and select Add Buddy and the player will be added to your list.

To add a new player to your buddy list who you are not sitting with, click the symbol at the bottom of AbsoluteBuddy, or select Add Buddy from the Buddies Menu (you may also right click on the buddy for this option).

When you receive the following screen, type in the exact screen name of the buddy you would like to add (this is NOT case sensitive).

When you click "OK", the player will be added to your buddy list.

+ Deleting a Buddy

Select the buddy on the buddy list by clicking on their name once. Next, click on the symbol at the bottom of AbsoluteBuddy, or select Remove Buddy from the Buddies Menu. The selected buddy will be deleted immediately.

+ Blocking a Buddy

You can block other players from seeing details about you. They will be able to add your name, but they will never receive information about when you're logged in or when you're sitting at a table.

The blocked buddy will not be told that you have blocked them. However, they may figure it outwhen they observe you at a table and AbsoluteBuddy has not notified them.

If you block them while you are logged in to the game, they will be notified that you have logged out (even though you are still in the game).

To block a buddy, simply select the buddy on the buddy list by clicking on their name once. Then click on the at the bottom of AbsoluteBuddy, or select Block Buddy from the Buddies Menu. The selected buddy will be blocked immediately, and will continue to be displayed with the symbol next to their name.

+ Unblocking a Buddy

Simply select the buddy by clicking on them once. Then click on the symbol at the bottom of AbsoluteBuddy, or select Unblock Buddy from the Buddies Menu.

+ Player Notes

Click once on the buddy and then select "Player Notes..." from the Buddies menu.

+ Default Sounds

A default set of sounds will notify you every time one of your buddies logs in to the poker room, sits down at a table, or logs out of the poker room. Each one of these actions results in a different sound.

+ Customizing Sounds

You can customize the default sounds for all of your buddies or assign specific sounds to each individual buddy.

To customize the sounds for ONE of your buddies, highlight that buddy's name on the AbsoluteBuddy list, and then select 'Sound Options' from the Buddies Menu.

In theAbsoluteBuddy Sound Preferences Window you can choose to mute all sounds for a buddy, or specify individual sounds for any or all of the actions of that buddy.

To include a custom sound for each of the alerts, click on "Custom" and then click on the "..." button to select the appropriate .WAV file on your computer (these files must have the ".wav" extension at the end of their name).

To customize the sounds for ALL of your buddies, click on the "Default" tab at the top of the Sound Preferences Window and specify the custom sounds for all of your buddies (the custom sounds that you have specified for individual buddies will still override the Default sounds).
