PokerCruncher – a popular iPhone app for calculating poker odds – is now available for Mac OS X. Awful user interface, but powerful software.
Clearly this competes directly with PokerZebra, a side project of mine. PokerCruncher does far more than PokerZebra and is priced higher. Choice is good for consumers, right? 🙂
Many thanks to the people who download the current Poker Copilot update, tried it with the various Merge Network poker rooms, and sent feedback. I’ve fixed some problems, and you can download an unreleased pre-release semi-release unofficial update with the fixes. It is here: http://pokercopilot.com/downloads/pokercopilot2.88_rc4.dmg
If all is well with the non-release, I’ll make it an official release in a couple of days.
What’s fixed:
You can now set your preferred seat for 10-max tables. Silly oversight on my part.
The HUD should now with with MTT’s. It was only working if you were only table 1. A Merge Network bug also reports you as being on table 1 in the hand history files, which confused Poker Copilot.
The correct table size is determined for most SNG’s and MTT’s.
The HUD works in Players Only. If only they let me open an account, I would have been able to test this properly myself!
You’ll most probably need to reset your database for the table size detection to work properly.
I’m quite impressed with MacUpdate. Every time I release a Poker Copilot update, within a few hours, they update the Poker Copilot profile on MacUpdate with the relevant information and send me a courtesy email. I’m not sure how they detect the updates but they do a good job.
Much better support for Merge Network poker rooms, including Carbon Poker, Lock Poker, Players Only, RPM Poker, Black Chip Poker, OverBet, and Poker Host
You can set your preferred seat for Merge Network poker rooms in the Poker Copilot Preferences, “Poker Rooms” panel
Note: The Merge Network initial HUD layouts are optimised for Lock Poker. For other rooms, you may still need to initially move the HUD panels to the correct place. Once set, they should stay in place, as long as your preferred seat settings in the poker room match what you set in Poker Copilot
Merge Network table sizes for cash games are auto-detected. Note: for this to work, you’ll need to reset your database.
What’s fixed:
Merge Network – all-in bets are now recognised correctly for all-in equity calculations.
Some Winamax tournaments were not displaying the HUD
