Some people compared the statistics Poker Copilot generates with the equivalent Poker Tracker statistics and have spotted differences. Why the difference?
Fair question. It's matter of definition. Unfortunately there is no official organisation to issue precise definitions of terms such as "Blind Steal Attempts" and "Aggression Frequency".
Consider "Blind Steal Attempts". The current Poker Copilot definition is this: a raise on the button in the first round of betting when every player except the blinds have folded. But maybe the small blind can only make a blind steal attempt if the button folds. Or the player one before the button, who make be extremely courageous or have observed that the player on the button doesn't like stealing. These situations are hard to detect pragmatically. However I feel the current definition is acceptable for making comparisons between players.
I added tool tips to each dashboard statistic defining Poker Copilot's terms. There is also an explanation here. In both cases I've tried to use clear and concise terms.
The Future
I understand differing from Poker Tracker definitions makes it hard when comparing statistics on forums. Therefore at some point I intend to move my definitions closer to Poker Tracker, as it seems to be a de facto standard.

About This Blog
In May 2008 I started working on Poker Copilot, initially as a product to help me with my own poker playing. Soon I joined a "30-day Challenge", where the participants each aimed to launch a software product in 30 days. As a result of this challenge, Poker Copilot version 1.0 was launched in July 2008.
