Poker Copilot offers a HUD and hand tracker for PokerStars New Jersey. It is fast, reliable, powerful, easy to use, and translated into French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.
PokerStars is (partly) back in the USA, after a five year break. As of March 21, 2016, PokerStars is available to residents of New Jersey.
Poker Copilot is ready. Today’s Poker Copilot update adds support for PokerStars NJ. This works on both Mac and Windows
The Poker Copilot team is in Barcelona, Spain and not in New Jersey, USA. This restricts our ability to test today’s update properly. So if you are in New Jersey, we’d love to hear your feedback. Let us know at support@pokercopilot.com if you encounter any problems.
Stealing the blinds is an extremely profitable technique for online poker. If you haven’t mastered blind stealing, you are leaving plenty of easy money on the table.
I explain blind stealing in our blind stealing guide, and offer you some strategies I’ve developed by investigating an database of 2 million poker hands from a range of player types.
I’ve done some calculations over a very large database of hands, and discovered that:
In tournaments, 53% of the time, the big blind folds to a steal attempt. In ring games, 62% of the time, the big blind folds to a steal attempt. Think that through: more than half the time, a blind steal attempt will give you the blinds without any further play. This suggests that you should make blind steal attempts with a large range of hands.
But it gets even better, as I explain in the section below on playing the flop. Keep reading.
America’s Cardroom (ACR) on Mac released an update yesterday, March 9th, 2016. Unfortunately the ACR update introduced some problems with their hand history files. Where the hand date, hand id, and table info should be, there are just some placeholders:
Game started at: [0]
Game ID: [1] [2] [3] ([4])
instead of
Game started at: 2015/7/1 9:21:48
Game ID: 438718977 10/20 $10 Jackpot Poker, Table 1 (Hold'em)
This makes it impossible for Poker Copilot to track the tables. We’ve reported this to ACR. In our experience the ACR team are very responsive, so we expect a fix will be available soon.

Some poker rooms, such as America’s Cardroom, don’t make tournament results available to Poker Copilot. Many of our customers manually enter tournament results, by right-clicking on a recent tournament and selecting “Get Info”.
However if you need to reset your Poker Copilot database, these manual changes are lost. This has been a pain point for a while. As of the next Poker Copilot update, this pain will be gone.
From Poker Copilot’s menu, select Tools -> Restore Manual Tournament Changes. You’ll be prompted to continue. Select OK and in a split second all your manual changes will be reapplied.
To run Poker Copilot in any of these languages, you don’t need to do anything special. If your computer is already running in Italian, Poker Copilot will automatically detect this, and run in Italian.
You can override the language. If you prefer to use your computer in Italian, but play poker in English, Poker Copilot’s Preferences offers a language override.
Carbon Poker just released an update. This update no longer saves hand history files. It seems Carbon has intentionally disabled hand histories. From Carbon support:
We made some updates to the Hand History function and is no longer stored in your computer. You can review the hands played in the current session from the Hand History section in the poker software.
Without hand history files, Poker Copilot can’t work with Carbon Poker. This means no HUD.
If Carbon change their mind and they release an update that reactivates the saving of hand history files, we’ll be able to support it again.
Looking for an alternative poker room that allows US players? We recommend America’s Cardroom. It runs on both Mac and Windows, and Poker Copilot fully supports it.
(This also affects other Merge Network rooms, including Sportsbook Poker, Odds Poker, and Players Only.)
For PokerStars Zoom players on Mac, Poker Copilot offers an experimental Dynamic HUD. In last week’s update, we snuck in a couple of Dynamic HUD improvements without announcing them.
We’ve changed the screen-scraping technique. Now it can scrape text that might not be visible to you because you’ve got a HUD panel on top of it. This makes for a much more effective result.
We’re working on a couple of other improvements to the Dynamic HUD. We’re also looking into how we can add it to Poker Copilot for Windows.
