Coming in the next update: Support for Full Tilt Poker multi-entry tournaments

Here are some issues affecting Full Tilt Poker multi-entry tournaments in Poker Copilot:

• You enter one tournament, twice, thrice, or perhaps four times. Each entry has a different result, and wins different money
• It may be a rebuy tournament. An entry bombs out, but you buy back in. Full Tilt Poker doesn't show in the tournament summary whether you rebought once each for two entries, or twice for one entry.
• Now you want to review the hands from the tournament. So you find the tournament in Poker Copilot's summary. You double-click to see the hands. The hands can't be clearly separated by entry as there is not enough information in the Full Tilt Poker hand history files and tournament summary files.

After taking these issues into account, I've settled on the following:

• The Poker Copilot tournament summary combines all your buyins and winnings for every entry in a tournament into a single result. This is shown in the "Take" column.
• The "Result" column indicates how your BEST entry in the tournament did.

Note that Full Tilt is not yet indicating the number of add-ons and rebuys correctly for multi-entry tournaments. Until this is fixed by Full Tilt, Poker Copilot will report incorrect winnings for rebuy multi-entry tournaments.

 

In Which Countries do Poker Copilot Customers Live?

Almost 50% of my customers are from the USA. France, Germany, Canada, and UK all contribute significant numbers. Together with Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, Italy, Russia, Finland, and Belgium, these 13 countries account for 90% of my sales.


Normalise for population, however, and USA moves down to tenth position:


Now I feel the Poker Copilot love coming from Europe!

AskDifferent: Mac Questions and Answers

AskDifferent is a new site to help and get helped with Mac software and hardware issues. It is modelled on StackOverflow, the successful programmer's Q&A site.

I asked a question last night before going to bed. The correct answer was waiting for me when I awoke. Let's see if it continues to be so helpful.

Poker Copilot, PokerZebra, and the Mac App Store: Revisited

I submittedPokerZebra to the Mac OS X App Store. I spent 12 days "waiting for review". Once the review started, within an hour the app was rejected. And fairly. The reason:

...if the user closes the application there is no way for the user to reopen the app without having to quit and then relaunch the application.

I like this. There are a set of automated and manual checks for the quality and conformity of an app in the App Store.

I've made the necessary changes and resubmitted. I suspect I'll need to wait another couple of weeks to find out if PokerZebra is approved.

What has this to do with Poker Copilot? Simply this: the turn-around times are too long. When Full Tilt or PokerStars release an update that breaks Poker Copilot, I can't wait 12 days for a review of the update by Apple. That's 12 days of no head-up display (HUD) for Poker Copilot users. Even I changed Poker Copilot to meet Apple's technical requirements - or Apple's technical requirements for the App Store changed, it is simply not a workable system. Perhaps if there were expedited reviews of software updates it would be possible.

Poker Copilot 2.80 Now Available

Poker Copilot 2.80 is now available to download.

What's changed:

• Menu bar can now show only hands played without winnings, if desired
• Some summaries now scroll horizontally as well as vertically. This should make things more usable when you have lots of columns showing.
• Added new chart statistics (Total BB Won)
• Added the Poker Copilot HUD to the PokerStars hand replayer
• Added PokerStars Home Game support
• Added Carbon Poker support

Update Instructions:

1. Download the latest version here.
2. Open the downloaded file.
3. Drag the Poker Copilot icon to the Applications icon. If prompted to replace an existing version, confirm that you do want to replace.

Now you are done and ready to hit the tables.

Full TIlt Poker Multi-Entry Tournaments: Help?

A recent Full Tilt innovation is the ability to have multiple entries in one tournament. You play as if two or more separate players.

These tournaments report their results differently. Normally the Full Tilt tournament summaries state:

stevoski111 finished in 37th place.

In Multi-Entry Tournaments it can read

stevoski111 finished in 37th and 111th place.

I need a collection of these tournament summaries to be able to fully test how Poker Copilot handles them. If you've played in Full Tilt Multi-Entry Tournaments, please send me your tournament summaries to steve@pokercopilot.com. This will make it much easier for me to add reliable support.

I especially am looking for tournaments where you finished in the money with one or more entries, and tournaments where two of your entries were merged because the number of tables remaining was less than your number of entries.

From the 2+2 Forums: "What % of players use a HUD?"

A beginner asks about head-up displays in online poker. I liked this response:

Using and understanding how to leverage the use of your HUD is the main reason of success for the vast majority of poker players. It speeds up you learning so fast it often pays for itself in days. The fact that it is so cheap is just amazing.

I think I would be a winning player without a HUD but the day I got my first poker software (called Poker Copilot for Mac) I instantly found and fixed a bunch of leaks in my game.

You can not underestimate how valuable it is, it is better than any book or poker video for the same price.

I couldn't have stated it better myself.

Coming in the next Poker Copilot Update: Total big blinds won charts

Loyal Poker Copilot customer James writes:

I'd really like to see a graph in BBs as I play both $.1/$.25 and $.25/.50 and I try not to worry how much money I'm making but rather how many stacks I'm winning.

Normally I'd add such a request to the queue of things to consider for future updates. But it seemed like a reasonable addition that I could do in ten minutes, due to the way charts are configured. So here it is:

Are you a freelance writer AND a Mac OS X online poker player?

I'm experimenting with Elance as a way to outsource some aspects of running Poker Copilot. The first experiment is commissioning some content for http://macpokersoftware.com/. If you can write well and play online poker on your Mac, take a look at my posting asking for reviews of Carbon Poker and Lock Poker.

Coming in the next update: HUD in the PokerStars Hand Replayer

Loyal Poker Copilot customer Jon pointed out something I had never realised: until a recent update of Poker Copilot, it was adding HUD stats to the PokerStars hand replayer.

This accidental feature has now been reinstated as an official feature.


This feature relies on an observation that the hand replayer always has an aspect ratio of nearly 1.45:1, once you remove the window title bar from the calculations. If this doesn't hold for all table themes, or is changed in the future by PokerStars, then the feature will break. Such is the nature of hooking into third-party applications on an ad-hoc, informal basis. They change; your software breaks.

Facebook, Tunisia, and Online Security

The Atlantic has an article about how the Tunisian state allegedly tried to steal an entire country's worth of Facebook passwords:

Though [Facebook's Chief Security Officer Joe] Sullivan is the unflappable type, the Tunisian situation seemed to force him into a bit of reflection. "When you step back and think about how Internet traffic is routed around the world, an astonishing amount is susceptible to government access," he noted.

Like most popular journalism on such themes, the technical details are inaccurate (an ISP 'keylogging', and being defeated by HTTPS?). But close enough. A disturbing issue for me is the claim that Facebook, which contains so many personal details for many of us, allows - and defaults to - logging in on a non-HTTPS webpage. Can that really be true? Surely this is another inaccurate technical detail. Surely?

Poker Copilot, PokerZebra, and the Mac App Store

The big news in recent weeks for Mac OS X software developers is the release of the App Store for Mac OS X applications. It's modelled on the iPhone/iPad app store. Developers are asking themselves, should I move my software to the App Store? Is it worth giving Apple a 30% cut (the non-negotiable terms set by Apple) of each sale? Will my app pass Apple's rigorous review process?

Poker Copilot is built on Java. The App Store guidelines explicitly prohibits software built on Java, so there is an easy answer to the question, "shall I move Poker Copilot to the App Store?" Apple, however, over time may change their policy so I may still have to pose this question in the future.

To get a feel for the App Store from a software developer's perspective, I'm moving PokerZebra to the App Store. I'm also making it a paid application for US$4.99/ EUR3.99/GBP2.99/AUD5.99. (The connection between these prices is set by Apple - I merely choose a pricing "Tier"). So far the process has been smooth, although I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for Apple to review PokerZebra, a necessary step to making it available.

I'm learning for a customer's perspective how frustrating it is to not have any information while waiting. I'd love to know how far I am in the queue of waiting applications. Waiting is easier, I think, if one has a sense of moving forward in the waiting queue.

Thanks for these definitions, very helpful. I've been thinking - how can we use our own icon to become a better player? E.g. if I'm a book, what should I do to become an Eagle? Do you have the exact calculations for each somewhere?

Pierre-Luc, here are the exact calculations:


I could tell Pierre-Luc simply, if you are a book, get more aggressive post-flop and add a little more pre-flop 3-betting to your game. But that is a unsatisfying answer. What advice do you offer?

Coming in the next update: Carbon Poker support

A friend visited me here in Beirut, Lebanon for the last week. We went to ancient cities, Roman ruins, biblical cities, got lost in the snow-covered mountains due to bad GPS data, and visited a Palestinian refugee neighbourhood.

All that sightseeing and travelling meant that I didn't have much time for Poker Copilot. Now, however, I'm back in action. Which is why I've now added Carbon Poker support. Carbon Poker is part of the Merge Network. Merge Network has good, native Mac OS X software so there is some demand for Merge Network support in Poker Copilot.



Poker Copilot already supports Lock Poker, another Merge Network member.

Poker Copilot 2.79 Now Available

Poker Copilot 2.79 is now available to download.

This is a minor update, mostly fixing some bugs and improving the console logging.

What's changed:

• The French, German, Spanish (Spain), and Spanish (Latin America) translations have been updated
• Most of the performance preferences are gone - they were a relic of earlier times and they were confusing, often interpreted exactly opposite as intended

What's fixed:

• Fixed bug where Merge Network Omaha hands were crashing Poker Copilot
• Full Tilt Poker tournaments in Italian now once more have a working HUD
• An obscure bug with customised rules for the player icons was crashing Poker Copilot. I haven't tracked down the bug properly but I've added more safeguards in the code to hopefully stop the crash.

Update Instructions:

1. Download the latest version here.
2. Open the downloaded file.
3. Drag the Poker Copilot icon to the Applications icon. If prompted to replace an existing version, confirm that you do want to replace.

Now you are done and ready to hit the tables.

New Full Tilt Update fixes Tournament Summary Problem

The good news: today's Full Tilt update seems to have fixed the problem where tournament summaries mostly weren't showing where you placed.

The bad news: it is not a retroactive fix. Any tournaments you played between, roughly, between January 12th and January 19th 2011 will most likely not show where you placed or, sometimes, what you won.

There are two possible solutions:

• ask Full Tilt support to send you correct tournament summary files for all tournaments you played in that period; or
• manually fix the files yourself

If you choose to manually fix the files yourself, it is quite straightforward:

1. Open a faulty tournament summary in TextEdit
2. Go to the end of the document
3. Add a line that says [your FTP account nickname] finished in [xth] place, inserting the relevant data
4. Save the file. Poker Copilot will detect that the file has been changed, and will update its data accordingly.

For example, I have this file:

Full Tilt Poker Tournament Summary Satellite to Daily Dollar (211614636) Hold'em No Limit
Buy-In: $0.25 + $0.05
Buy-In Chips: 1500
9 Entries
Total Prize Pool: $2.25
Top 999 finishers receive entry to Tournament 210082858
Tournament started: 2011/01/13 11:01:22 UTC [2011/01/13 06:01:22 ET]

I changed it by adding an extra line at the end:

PokerStars Home Games

Many people have been reporting to me that the new PokerStars "Home Games" don't have a Poker Copilot HUD. I hope to rectify this for the next Poker Copilot update.

Poker Copilot problem with Full Tilt Poker Tournaments in Italian

It seems the Full Tilt Poker (FTP) team made a small change to their Italian translation. The word "tavolo" (table) was changed to "Tavolo" (Table). This confused Poker Copilot's "is this table a tournament?" logic. The result is that currently the Poker Copilot HUD (Head-up Display) doesn't work for tournaments, if you use FTP in Italian.

The next Poker Copilot update will fix this.

Rush Poker Support Possible Update

[too long; didn't read version: I'm experimenting with screen scraping to add a full HUD to Rush Poker. So far the experiment is going well. But it is tricky to get right so I'll make "beta" Poker Copilot builds with this experimental Rush Poker support available soon.]


The current Rush Poker support in Poker Copilot is not great. As far as I know, no Mac OS X poker tracking software has good Rush Poker support. I spent much time over recent months mulling over what I could do to improve things.

The conclusion I came to over and over is that the best possibility is screen scraping the Rush Poker window to determine the player names. But I was fearful of this approach - for performance, accuracy, and maintainability reasons. Optical character recognition (OCR) - the art of a computer extracting text from an image - is notoriously unreliable. The ramifications of a player called phil_ivey being misread as phil_ive_no_idea - and therefore the wrong HUD stats being shown - could be very expensive.

My aim is 100% reliability. And fast at that.

Intractable problems become tractable when you add constraints. So I decided to see what I could achieve with the following constraints:

1. 9-player tables only
2. a specific window size (1440*874, corresponding to a maximised window on my MacBook Pro)
3. classic layout

This gives me a known font to work with: Arial, 20 point. That, unfortunately is a problem. In Arial, lower-case L and upper-case i are rendered identically. Meaning that 100% success is impossible. However some tricks can make the success rate extremely close to 100% . More on that later.

Some analysis of the all the Full Tilt player names I have in my million+ hands of test data reveal the following:

1. Player names start with [A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], dash ('-') and underscore ('_')
2. Subsequent letters have the same range and can additionally be a space character

That's a total range of 65 characters.

I found this extremely useful pokerai.org forum thread on screen scraping. I read every post and made notes. Then I spent a day coding up a trial solution. Then I read through the forum again, this time understanding things better. Then I modified the solution.

I had a program that grabbed a screenshot once per second, extracted the parts of the images that contain the player names, and converted them to text with a success rate of about 70%. The problems were the l (small L)/I (big i) problem, and ligatures. I added some tweaks to handle ligatures and the success rate seems 100%, except l (small L)/I (big i).

It was a fun challenge. In the process I learnt about OCR techniques, computer typography, and re-learnt a rather rare computer data structure called Tries.

I'm going to keep working at this, trying for a more general solution that handles 6-max and 9-max tables at a range of window sizes and with different layouts. In the process I'll make "beta" Poker Copilot builds available.

The l (small L)/I (big i) problem

In Arial 20 point small L is indistinguishable from big i. You've probably sometimes misread a player's name because of this. Here's how I get around the problem:

1. Convert all small L's to big I's in the scraped text
2. Keep a list of all players seen in the current session as read from the hand history files. This list will include the correct names and the names with small L's replaced with big I's
3. Match each scraped name against the list of current session players to determine the correct name

If you are playing in the same session against "Al" (al) and "AI" (ai) this won't work. But I'm going to accept this rare situation because I think the chances of this happening are exceedingly small. In the case that is does happen, no HUD will be shown. I think this is better than

Poker Copilot 2.78 Now Available

Poker Copilot 2.78 is now available to download.

What's changed:

• Merge Network support. This should work for Lock Poker and CarbonPoker so far.
• Menu bar now shows session ring games AND tournament winnings, and hands played.
• Some of the translations have been updated. Most notably: Spanish (Spain) aka Castellano, Hungarian, and Russian.
• Play money now uses the letter 'P' as the currency symbol, to make it easier to spot that you are not looking at real money stats.
• You can now filter by "Last 10,000 Hands" using the "More" filter.
• Player icons are now shown in the "Player" Summary.
• Minor tweaks

What's fixed:

• Fixed bug where custom date range was behaving oddly sometimes.
• Poker Copilot works once more with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

Update Instructions:

1. Download the latest version here.
2. Open the downloaded file.
3. Drag the Poker Copilot icon to the Applications icon. If prompted to replace an existing version, confirm that you do want to replace.

Now you are done and ready to hit the tables.

Full Tilt Poker update breaks Poker Copilot tournament summaries

Many Poker Copilot users wrote to me overnight about a problem: since the Full Tilt Poker update on Jan 11th, 2011, your place in the tournament is not shown IF you didn't finish in the money.

Loyal Poker Copilot customer Nikita deduced the problem: the tournament summary files on Mac OS X are missing the last line when you didn't finish in the money. This is the line that says what place the hero came.

If this affects you, can I ask you report it to Full Tilt Poker? I've reported it myself, but the more people who report it, the more likely it is that there will be a prompt fix.

UPDATE: A Full Tilt developer wrote to me: "Thank you for the report, we have reproduced this and will fix it in the next release."

 

Merge Network support coming

I don't get it. The number of players on Merge Network at any given time is roughly 3% of the number of players on PokerStars. 3,000 players instead of 100,000. And yet I've been getting bombarded with requests for Merge Network support. Methinks there could be a campaign going on here... :)

The Merge Network has recently released a native Mac OS X client - and it is not too shabby at all.

The next Poker Copilot update adds initial Merge Network support, although currently it only works fully with Lock Poker, one of the Merge Network clients. Here is Lock Poker with the Poker Copilot HUD:

 

These are the things missing from Merge Network support in Poker Copilot:

• the hand history files don't indicate whether a table is 9-seat or 6-seat. Only heads-up tables can be separated in the statistics.
• as far as I can tell, there are no tournament results available
• I don't have any Merge Network hand history files with antes yet so I haven't yet added inclusion of antes

Do you have Merge Network hand history files to donate to my collection of test files? If so, you'll help me find the remaining bugs in Poker Copilot's Merge Network support.

New Poker Copilot Review

Danish reviewer, English review:

I wouldn’t think twice while saying that this is the best PokerTracker for mac if you are fan of the mac UI and intuitive workflow.

Read the full review here.

 

Another Poker Copilot menu bar option

The next update will have an additional menu bar option. This is probably the most useful option: amount won AND hands played.

It looks like this when you are up:

and when you are down:

Shopping Carts

It's not family-friendly, he's crude, and I feel sort of dirty just for posting this link, but boy does The Oatmeal make some good points here about how to make your shopping cart suck less.

My suggestion: don't even try to make your own online shopping cart. It's hard, you know. Instead out-source it all to people whose livelihood depends on getting shopping carts right.

(Funny thing is, before the Internet, people where I come from didn't even say "shopping cart". It was supermarket trolley, I guess.)

 

Coming in the next update: More info in the menu bar

The "show my winnings in the menu bar" option in Poker Copilot has turned out to be popular. The next update improves this by letting you control what info is shown:

 

Blizzard making workers in poor countries unemployed?

Not long before I got into online poker I gave up, once and for all, the addictive habit known as playing World of Warcraft, made by the company Blizzard. I enjoyed this brief Tim Harford column on the real world economic impact of World of Warcraft on sweatshops in developing countries, and how updates in World of Warcraft might destroy many people's real world income.

 

Apple gets confused about languages

Dear Apple,

Please make the iTunes Store and the App Store respect my Mac OS X language settings. Yes, I reside in Germany and use a German credit card for online purchases. However my computer is set to English. That means I want my software to be in English, not in German. Every piece of software I use, be it Apple software or third party, is in English. Except the App Store and the iTunes Store.

 

 

 

Hipmunk: making online flight purchasing better

Fly often? Have you discovered hipmunk yet?

I have a side interest in data visualisation. So I'm always keen to see innovative ways to present hard-to-visualise data. Hipmunk has done soooo many things right - and much better than the big companies in their field.

Let's start with the hipmunk search form:

No need to manually select a "return" or "one-way" radio button or tab. Simply leave the return date empty for a one-way flight.

No need to click on a calendar pop-up icon - the calendar is always there, showing the current month and the next month - the two most likely months when you want to fly.

The defaults make sense - 1 person on coach on any airline is probably by far the most common search.

Click search and then hit the back button, and it actually works, bringing you back to the form the way you expect with web forms. Lots of similar sites manage to break the back button. Web users depend on the back button. Jakob Nielsen has long been telling us that "the Back button is the lifeline of the Web user and the second-most used navigation feature (after following hypertext links)."

 

Now the search results:

Wow! That's what I thought when I first saw this. Finally, a way to quickly assess the options. The beige colour represents stop-overs. Each airline gets its own colour so I can see, for example, that for $541 I can fly with Egyptair to Dubia (DXB), wait for about two hours, then continue with Emirates.

I don't handle mornings well. Nor do I like stop-overs. So can I see this data prioritising direct flights that leave in the afternoon? You betcha - all the browser side, with no server refresh:

And it is all so easy. Click on any flight to see the details:

 

There's a principle in web application user-interface design: if the end result seems far too simple for the amount of work you have put into it, then you have succeeded. Simple user interfaces are hard. Complicated user interfaces are simple. Hipmunk succeeded.

 

How to Register Poker Copilot

Having trouble getting your username and license key into Poker Copilot? Here's a video showing you exactly how it is done:



The latest update of Poker Copilot has some extra smarts in this area:

• if you have something in your clipboard that looks like a Poker Copilot license key, it'll automatically be pasted into Poker Copilot's registration dialog.
• The "OK" button is only enabled if a valid user name and license key are entered.

This is all about reducing the amount of support emails I receive.

Coming in the next update: Filter by last 10,000 hands

I had some hours to kill in Cairo airport yesterday. Luckily I had my MacBook Pro with me so I got stuck into another of those little Poker Copilot enhancements that has been on my to-do list for a long time.

As ever, a screenshot says more than words:

 

This filter applies to all screens, but not to the HUD. It can be useful to see your recent performance. 10,000 hands is large enough to give useful trends but small enough to ensure all charts and summaries generate quickly.

 

Coming in the next update: Icons in the Player Summary

I've added player icons to the Player Summary. A screenshot should explain this:

Many people write asking what the icons mean. So I've given the icons in the Player Summary tooltips with definitions of the icons.

If either the Table Size filter is set to "All Table Sizes" OR the Game Type filter is set to "All Game Types", Poker Copilot uses the default rules to determine which player icons to use. If both the Table Size filter AND the Game Type filter are set, then the rules for that combination is used to generate the icons.

 

Poker Copilot Translation Volunteers

Hi everybody who has been helping translate Poker Copilot. There are 15 or 20 new strings that I've added to the translation spreadsheets in Google Docs. It'd be great if you could take a look and translate them.

Many thanks! Danke schön. Merci beaucoup. Muchas gracias. Shumë falemnderit.

 

PS: We still need more volunteers for several languages. In particular: Polish, Russian, Portuguese (Brasil), Portuguese (Portugal), and Spanish (Spain)

Coming in the next update: HUD Stats for current tournament

You've long had the choice in the Poker Copilot HUD whether stats should be either for the current session and table; or for all time. Many people have requested that for tournaments the stats can be for the current tournament. I've finally added this:

Now as you move between tables in a tournament and reencounter players who were on your table earlier in the tournament, you'll see their total stats for the current tournament.

 

Turning off the Head-up Display - Part 2

Not only will you be able to disable the Poker Copilot HUD in the next update, you'll also be able to turn off just the hero HUD:
