Every time I release an update of Poker Copilot, I open up a checklist with each thing I must do. Over the last few years, the list has been refined, shortened, automated where possible, made clearer. I was partly motivated by the excellent The Checklist Manifesto.
Once or twice, I’ve not bothered following the checklist, and things have gone wrong. By now I should have learnt. But with the most recent update to Poker Copilot 3.26, I worked through half the list, and did the rest from memory. I forgot to perform this important step:
Step 6: Manually perform full download and install.
I didn’t do that step, and therefore didn’t realise for two days that I had a broken full downloader on the site. Sigh. I’m reminded again, that the purpose of the checklist is to avoid these situations that tend to be rather poor for sales.
If you tried in the last couple of days to download Poker Copilot, and it didn’t work, sorry, sorry, sorry. It’s now fixed. You can download from the home page or directly using this link.
If you play on a PokerStars Zoom Poker table, and the Poker Copilot HUD isn’t appearing, even though you’ve turned on the experimental Zoom Poker HUD, then please check if the table you are playing on is listed here.
If it isn’t listed, please send to me via email (steve@pokercopilot.com) the following information about the table, so I can add it to Poker Copilot:
Table name:
Table Type: eg. Limit, No Limit, Pot Limit, Cap Limit
Money Type: eg. real money, play money
# of seats: eg. 6-max, 9-max.
This will help me add any missing Zoom Poker tables to Poker Copilot.
Recently PokerStars has started creating hand histories in some cases where spaces are missing. This prevents the hands from loading. This update detects and fixes those problems.
(Poker Copilot 4 is under development. Buy version 3 now, beat the price rise, and receive a free upgrade to version 4 when it is released.)
Poker Copilot 4 will have a new “Hands by Date” summary. Similar to the “Tournaments by Date” summary, it combines a chart and table in one screen. It allows you to group hands by day, week, month, and also hour of the day, and day of the week:

Poker Copilot 4 will allow you to show your own HUD statistics, either for all-time, the current session AND table, or for the current session AND tournament.
This should make a certain Poker Copilot customer happy. 🙂

Poker Copilot 4 lets you see how profitable tournaments are for you when they start in different times of the day. You can also see lots of other tournaments variables according to the hour of the day:
Poker Copilot 4 will have a new way of looking at tournaments: by weekday. You can see in a bar chart whether you finish “in the money” more often on Sundays than on Mondays. Or whether you have a higher return on investment, higher net/tournament, and several other measures.
Poker Copilot 4 will have player notes. This has long been requested and is finally almost here.
Here’s a video showing how to edit player notes. I’ve tried to make it as painless as possible. ⌘ + P to open the player notes window, start typing, then press the escape key to close the window.
Player notes are stored in an XML file. This will make it straight-forward to export and import notes, or even to create them using some external means.
If a player has a note, you’ll see a pencil icon next to their name in the HUD:
Click on the HUD panel for the full pop-up, where you’ll see the note:
Poker Copilot 4 has a new “Tournaments by Date” summary. To avoid confusion, the existing “Tournaments” summary is renamed “Recent Tournaments”.
I think many of you will like this new “Tournaments by Date” summary. It mixes a summary with a chart. You can manipulate the chart and summary in new ways:
All the Poker Copilot conventions are present: ordering by any column, a summary row, right-click on the screenshot to save or print, zoom-in and zoom-out.
Notice in the top-left hand corner that you can select any column to show in the chart. On the top-right hand corner you can turn both the chart and table into a “by-week” or “by-month” chart.
You’ll be able to try this out in the next PCP Dallas EAP update.
