Is there any way to get an online poker table to auto fold bad starting hands for you?

I was playing 50 tables at pokerstars, and it was annoying to have to keep hitting fold everytime a table popped up, so I was wondering if there exists some way to just have the table fold your bad starting hands, that way you can focus your attention at the tables where you have good hands?
Why would a poker program do that for you? I have played Pogo, Pureplay, and many other poker games and not once have I seen this. I have seen checkmarks for autofolding but not once a bad hand auto fold option.
The problem with that is: what is a bad hand? What is a marginal hand? What is a good hand? Where do you draw the line?

I haven’t seen it either. Besides, what is considered a marginal hand in early position is something you might bet in late position.

Obviously, you aren’t capable of playing 50 tables, or you’d know that depending on the position, chip stacks, etc, etc… any 2 cards can be playable.

Yes, programs like this exist, but they are also forbidden, and will get you banned from any poker site if you’re found using one. Any program which makes any decision for you, without interference from you, is against the rules.
This is Pokerstars policy on what software is acceptable and what is not:

I doubt other poker rooms will differ significantly from the policies described here. Have a look at the "In general, what kinds of tools and services are prohibited?" section- it specifically forbids auto-folding programs.

don’t think that there is
there’s no way it can be automated – system won’t be able to determine what a good or bad starting hands for you – if it will compare to the cards – that won’t be fair
and why will you play 50 tables i think that’s too many to handle for you
