Looking for input/discussion on how to build an AHK that shows stacks in BB/adj BB/M instead of chip value. Most tracking software have a feature like this, but is 1 round late, and lags like a #o-#o. This is not against the TOS of Stars. When this works flawless, other features can be added I guess to make it more spectacular.

I am not a programmer......

completely site dependend. basically you need to get the blind information and the players stacks. trackers are using the hand histories for that, which is why they are one hand late (the blinds are the old ones in the HH). you could try to get it via scraping or e.g. reading the window title or some other part of the UI, but as said, it all depends on the actual site.
Its definitely not easy to script a general, robust solution...

If this is PS specific it won't work with AHK. I haven't looked at that in a long time but essentially PokerStars is using custom window elements and text boxes that prevent you from just reading from the window. You'd have to implement screen scraping or read from the HandHistory, as apparently a bunch of other trackers are doing.

I think there used to be a PokerStars log file that was written in realtime that you could read but then you'll have issues multi-tabling etc. If it was easy to do it would already exist. And seriously, if you can't do that math in your head (at least roughly) you probably shouldn't play poker...
