People sometimes ask if they can purchase Poker Copilot by transferring via an online poker room. I’ve long had a policy of allowing this, via PokerStars transfer or Full Tilt Poker transfer.
Yesterday, however, when I tried to routinely cash out the money in my PokerStars account, the cash out was cancelled. Here is an excerpt from an email PokerStars sent me explaining why they did this:
Our transfer tool is only meant to help players fund their accounts when they are unable to deposit with deposit options currently available to them. All funds added to your account via transfer must be used to play at our tables.
We are restricted by our license agreement in the Isle of Man and this prevents us from being able to offer a real money transfer service for the purpose of cashing out.
In this case, your cashout has been cancelled and funds have been returned to your account balance. You are welcome to play with the funds or to return it back to the sender.
You should use a money transferring service outside of PokerStars for transfers which are not meant to be played at our tables.
Someone uncovered an obscure bug in the Java computer language which has been there since, probably, for ever. Which is 15 years or so in the Java universe. The bug hangs Java when trying to convert one specific string to a floating point number. This also affects some other programming languages which use the same de facto standard algorithm.
There are probably obscure bugs in most every modern programming language – and therefore in most every software built using modern programming languages – that can remain hidden for years, even decades.
Most of the summaries remember column orders. Move “Aggression %” to the first column and it will stay there for next time you open Poker Copilot.
Added support for FTP multi-entry tournaments. But read here for limitations. Thanks to loyal Poker Copilot customers who sent me a range of multi-entry tournament summaries.
Added “Hero” filter to “More” menu – although it doesn’t quite work as intended in the “Players” summary yet
What’s fixed:
PokerStars home game tournaments were not being recognised as tournament, causing the HUD not to work and stats to get confused. If you had this problem already, you’ll need to reset your Poker Copilot database to correct your stats. (File -> “Reset Database”)
On Merge Network rooms, such as Carbon Poker, the HUD now works simultaneously on multiple tables at the same stake level.
