I’m in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a week. I’m staying here to break up the trip a little on the way from Spain, where I live, to Australia, where my family live.
Today I went to one of those multi-story electronics-only shopping malls you find in many South-East Asian cities. I bought myself a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad. It made it much easier to use my iPad to answer my daily swag of Poker Copilot support emails, while sitting in a noisy faux-Irish pub near my hotel.
I’m writing this blog post from my iPad, using the same bluetooth keyboard, in the same faux-Irish pub as a test run. WIth the right app (BlogPresss) it is working well.
For Business 2.0 in 2003, Paul Keegan investigates “The Card Sharks from Silicon Valley,” a new breed of “poker nerds” who were taking the game by storm. “The pros call these guys ‘fish,’ and the schools of them swarming around the Bicycle Casino are the reason poker pros love the sudden glamorization of their game. Fish get excited by watching tournaments on TV, teach themselves poker using simulation software, then start betting online with real money.”
There are several more such stories linked in the newsletter.
I’ve read that you are working on version 4. Will you give a free update to users that bought version 3 recently? For example: I bought 2 days ago.
The official answer is:
Anyone who purchased Poker Copilot 3 on or after September 3rd, 2012, gets a free upgrade.
Anyone who purchased Poker Copilot before September 3rd, 2012, will need to pay an upgrade fee for Poker Copilot 4. It is likely to be roughly 40% of the full purchase price.
Poker Copilot 4 will be released sometime after March 2013.
Full Tilt Poker’s relaunch yesterday revealed a couple of problems in Poker Copilot. I’ve fixed them, and to the best of my knowledge the current Poker Copilot update (3.21) works fully with Full Tilt Poker.
So, to state it clearly:
Poker Copilot 3.21 fully supports Full Tilt Poker on Mac OS X, as of now.
If you are using an update older than the current update – which is 3.21 – you need to update Poker Copilot. Just let the auto-update do its magic.
If auto-update is not working for you, then you can do a manual update, as follows:
Full Tilt Poker stopped operating last year, but they are now back. In the next days I’ll probably get many emails asking, “Will Poker Copilot support the returned Full Tilt Poker”. The answer:
Most likely. However Full Tilt Poker won’t be accepting players in Spain, which is where I live. So I plan to make a short trip to a nearby country soon, where I can test and update Full Tilt Poker support in Poker Copilot.
Edit: Full Tilt Poker is available in Spain in play money mode. And surprisingly, Poker Copilot seems to be working with Full Tilt Poker:
A couple of months ago, I introduced anonymised player names in Poker Copilot’s hand replayer. It seems some people really didn’t like this, so I’ve now made it optional:
PartyPoker has introduced “FastForward Poker”. Unfortunately, here in Spain, PartyPoker’s Mac client is unavailable since the introduction of a Spanish law a couple of months ago that regulates online poker. So I can’t try out this “FastForward Poker”.
Can anyone tell me, is that simply an equivalent of PokerStars’ “Zoom Poker”?
