Starring Hands for Later Review

Sometimes while playing online poker, I find myself wanting to look closely at a hand that went unexpectedly. I can't do it while playing so I need a way to remind myself to go back later and look at it.

The next update of Poker Copilot will solve this problem by introducing starred hands:

The star is a toggle. Click it once to star a hand, click it again to unstar a hand.

You can filter by starred hands:

Poker Copilot's Head-up Display (HUD) has a new icon to let you star the previous hand played at the table:

This is a seemingly simple addition that turns out to be hard to implement well. There were several design issues and threading issues that I had to solve.

Love it! Would also be nice to make notes on hands at any point in time -- maybe a little note pulldown on the HUD?

To add notes would be great.. Just a small textbox.

Thanks Steve.

Nicely done. It looks to be a nice integration that seems great from a ui standpoint

Randy said...

any idea about the release date?

Not sure if it is possible to save the current stat you had on villain at that time at the table. Would be great to review the hand later on forms and stuff

@Randy,

I'll hopefully release in a couple of days. There's a couple of database performance improvements that I've been doing quality assurance on, and that stuff takes time...

Regarding the current stat you had on villain at that time: I'm doing some hand replayer improvements in the coming months, and what you suggest is one of the things I'll be considering.

Regards,

Steve

Thanks steve..

If possible. Could you do this update before the big majors start tomorrow? Or a BETA version? It would be so nice to just click some hands for review instead of needing to safe them eveytime while playing 16 tables...

TY,
Randy

@Randy,

I'm out of the office at the moment, so an early release won't be possible... :-(

Sorry

Steve
