We’ve released our first update to Poker Copilot 6 today. Unfortunately we’ve now discovered that a bug sneaked into the initial release of Poker Copilot (version 6.00) that stops our auto-updating from working.
If you downloaded and installed Poker Copilot 6.00, you’ll get a notification today that a new update is available. But when you click “Update Now”, you’ll be told that you have the latest version.
How to get Poker Copilot 6.01
Go to our website home page and click “Download Now”. Install it as you would normally if you were installing new software.
This problem only exists in Poker Copilot 6.00. Once you’ve updated to version 6.01, the auto-updater will work in the future.
We’ve made some big changes to the HUD popup window in Poker Copilot 6. See the changes here:
To summarise:
adding 40 new statistics to Poker Copilot 6 meant the old popup window wasn’t good enough any more
you can pin the window open
you can change the text size
you can move and resize the window
there are quick links for jumping between sections
the window stays open when you click. It no longer auto-closes when you release the mouse button. To close the window, use the escape key, or the close button, or click anywhere outside of the window
Spin & Go tournaments on PokerStars are 3-player, short-stacked, hyper-turbo tournaments. Because all players are short-stacked, most of the decision making happens preflop. Because they are hyper-turbo and 3-max, you need to be aggressive. As there are only 3 players you’ve got plenty of room to display plenty of HUD statistics. I’d recommend these stats:
Blind Steal, Fold to Blind Steal (effectively, the button has a blind steal opportunity on every single hand!) You could just load up your HUD with every possible blind steal stat (fold to blind steal, raise blind steal, call blind steal, blind steal from button, blind steal from small blind) and you’ll already have a ton of information that would converge to accuracy quite quickly.
Three-bet and fold to three-bet. I wouldn’t care too much about four-bet stats, because a four-bet is going to be an all-in raise most times.
Postflop, I’d use continuation bet, and fold to continuation bet. “Donk Bet Out of Position” and “Fold to Donk Bet Out of Position” could be useful for distinguishing between donks and maniacs. Donks would have a high Donk Bet Out of Position stats.
Simple, but effective I think. You can add continuation bet by street, but I don’t think Spin & Go’s offer the opportunity to use such detailed stats effectively.
Here’s what it looks like in Poker Copilot 6’s HUD Layouts window:
I bought Poker Copilot from the Winamax store. Do I get a free upgrade?
Yes, as long as you bought it on or after 2nd October 2016. Purchases through the Winamax store get treated exactly the same as purchases directly from us.
What if I don’t want to upgrade?
No problem. Poker Copilot 5 will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future. Although you really should consider upgrading – Poker Copilot 6 will help improve your poker game.
