Which Day of the Week is the Best Day to Play Tournaments?

Poker Copilot 4 is under development. Buy version 3 now and receive a free upgrade to version 4 when it is released.

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.

Player Notes in Poker Copilot 4

Poker Copilot 4 is under development. Buy version 3 now and receive a free upgrade to version 4 when it is released.

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:

New Screen in Poker Copilot 4

Poker Copilot 4 is under development. Buy version 3 now and receive a free upgrade to version 4 when it is released.

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. 

Fix Coming for PokerStars Tournament Audits

PokerStars recently made some changes to their tournament audits. This breaks Poker Copilot’s ability to import them. I’ve now fixed this, but I can’t release the fix for another day or two. That’s because I’m currently in East Timor, a country which seems to have slow Internet with frequent dropouts. Tomorrow I’m flying to nearby Bali, where I hope to find much better Internet.

For now all I can offer is a picture of a traditional Timorese building:

Live HUD Config menu

Poker Copilot 4 will have a drop-down menu available directly within the HUD to set the most common HUD preferences.

This makes it much  to a) see the results of changing the preferences and b) changing the HUD midway through a playing session.

Poker Copilot "Dallas" Early Access Program

The next major release of Poker Copilot will be Poker Copilot 4. It is currently under development, and is going by the codename “PCP Dallas”. It is due for release mid-2013.

Buy Poker Copilot now and you’ll get a free upgrade to Poker Copilot 4, even if the price goes up. Anyone who purchased Poker Copilot 3 from September 3rd, 2012 onwards will also receive a free upgrade. If you bought Poker Copilot 1, 2, or 3 before September 3rd, 2012, there will be a small upgrade fee.

You can follow the development of Poker Copilot Dallas via our Early Access Program.

At this stage all you’ll notice is PCP Dallas is exactly like Poker Copilot 3, except a little worse. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks working on some major internal work to conform with upcoming OS X changes. Apple has recommend that programs like Poker Copilot now include their own copy of Java, which while solving some support and maintenance issues, as well as ensuring that Poker Copilot will continue working, have blown out the size of the download from 20 MB to 80MB. I do hope to reduce that significantly before final release.
