AutoHotkey is an open source macro-making utility for Windows that can automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. By using a good combination of hotkeys, players can drastically speed up the rate in which they play. This program needs to be downloaded and installed in order to add on poker specific hotkeys. Only the 'Install AutoHotKey' link on the following page needs to be downloaded.

As a note, AutoHotKey itself does not need to be run directly to use any hotkeys listed below. Instead, just double click on any downloaded hotkeys and they will automatically open through AutoHotKey.

This script analyzes the current pot size and makes proportial bets based on current settings. I have my configuration set so that my middle click button bets full pot, and my right click button bets around 3/4 pot. This saves a lot of time from having to always analyze pot sizes and typing bets in. There are two versions posted on the following link, I would recommend downloading version BetPot-0.21s.zip.

StarsAssistant has several features which make multi tabling easier. It only works for PokerStars, but I think there are scripts with similiar features that work for other poker sites as well. I specifically use this one to automatically click my time bank. This is particulary helpful anytime I run to the bathroom or get a snack real quick! There are also other nice features such as highlighting and mouse movement to active tables, as well as a few SNG options.

There are many additional scripts written that I don't specifically use, but others may find usefull. The link below has a list of all scripts written for poker specifically.
