The first time you run this update, your Poker Copilot database will be updated. This will take a long time. You can’t use Poker Copilot until the update is finished. As a guide, my database of 600,000 hands takes about 30 minutes to update on a current model iMac with a SSD hard drive.
Step 1 (for ring games) and Step 6 (for tournaments) take the most time.
What’s changed:
A new menu option “Tools” -> “Recalculate Statistics” will update past hands with new and revised statistics.
Fully translated into Spanish (España).
Bluff Room Poker now supported (Merge Network partner)
Updated text for cbet to “cbet on flop” where appropriate
Moved player icons config to a separate preferences panel
Improved the HUD font chooser
Reordered stats in dashboard and HUD into more logical groupings
Removed decimal points from display of 3-bet and CR stats
Added # of tourneys played in session to right-hand menu bar info
Added support for Coral Poker (but untested)
And one more thing:
Added two new statistics: continuation bet on turn and folded to continuation bet on turn
What’s fixed:
Fixes to all-in EV calculation on PokerStars multi-way pots with antes and an all-in big blind posting.
Added detection of ante size to Merge Network tournaments
Posting screenshots of changes in recent days helped me discover some simple mistakes, such as some pre-flop stats in the post-flop section. I’ve fixed these, and now the layouts of the three screens concerned look as follows:
The HUD:
The advanced dashboard:
The “Get Info” window:
Hopefully the only thing that looks out of place now is my playing style indicated by the statistics…
I write Poker Copilot in Java. Java doesn’t have a nice font chooser. There are a couple of free substandard ones available on the web. I’ve been using one supplied with JFreeChart, the open source java charting library that I use in Poker Copilot. It is good enough, and gets the job done, but the source code includes comments that state that it is a “barely good-enough” solution. Here’s what it looks like:
The “Help” button doesn’t do anything. The list of fonts always initially displays the first options, rather than the currently selection option. There is no preview. It wasn’t using Poker Copilot’s translations.
I’ve long been unhappy with the font chooser in Poker Copilot, but I was also aware that this was a symptom of my perfectionism, and that spending time on a better font chooser was not going to earn me a single additional sale. So I kept putting off. Until today, when I decided to fix this. So I spent a pleasant afternoon starting with the JFreeChart code and tweaking it, tweaking it, tweaking it, using the native OS X font chooser, until I had something I’m happier with:
It is better and more usable, although I’d still rather be able to use the native font chooser. And yes, this does now allow you to choose 7 point fonts.
Addendum: You really wouldn’t want to use Georgia Bold Italic 16.0 point as your HUD font…
Loyal Poker Copilot customer Dimancho suggested a more logical layout for the HUD popup. As of the next update the stats will be grouped by category: This should make it easier when scanning for the right statistic to help make a tense decision.
Nie chcę, żeby ten tekst był tylko zwykłą recenzją programu. Poker Copilot jest programem ciekawym także z racji osoby, która go napisała. Udało mi się nawiązać kontakt z twórcą tego oprogramowania – Stevem McLeod’em. Krótki wywiad o początkach przygody z pokerem, programowaniu oraz o tym jak pokerowa pasja potrafi przynieść satysfakcję również poza stolikiem.Nie chcę, żeby ten tekst był tylko zwykłą recenzją programu.

Two days ago I announced “Continuation Bet on Turn” aka “Double-barrel bet”. This indicates when a person made the initial bet on the turn, after having made a continuation bet on the flop. A natural complement to this statistic is “Folded to Continuation Bet on Turn”, and it will be in the next update:
