Everything is set for release…except one problem that has been nagging at me for ages: Poker Copilot sometimes miscalculates All-in EV for Winamax. I’ve got a bunch of tests for edge cases and I’m determined to get all the tests passing. You could say that I’m using my fervent desire to fully release Poker Copilot 3 as a rod with which to beat my own back and get this done.
I met Oliver last night at the pub. Oliver works in the poker industry. I explained to him about Poker Copilot, and he said, “Ahhh, it is like Hold’em Manager”.
“Yep,” I said. “Like Hold’em Manager but Hold’em Manager is for Windows only whereas Poker Copilot is for Mac.”
Oliver described how he once installed Hold’em Manager and it imported his hands. “It told me I was playing like crap so I uninstalled it.”
I’ll file this under “Don’t Shoot the Messenger”.
One of the things I wanted to get into order before releasing Poker Copilot 3 is the Russian translation. I have a small but steady stream of Russian customers and I suspect that with some concerted effort I can increase the importance of the Russian-speaking world to my sales.
The Russian translation of Poker Copilot is now complete:
You can download an unofficial update of Poker Copilot now with the following recent improvements:

Or you can wait a couple of days at the most for the official release of Poker Copilot 3.
Occasionally a Poker Copilot customer asks, “I want to stay afresh with my Poker Copilot database. How do I get rid of all old data?” Until now the answer has been quite convoluted: Find and delete all old hand history files, then reset your Poker Copilot database.
However the next update will have a better, less destructive solution. You’ll be able to tell Poker Copilot to ignore any hand history files older than a particular date:
You’ll still need to reset your database to get rid of existing data, but you can safely keep the old hand history files in case you change your mind later and want to see the older data.
As far as I know, the 2+2 poker forums are still the most popular poker forums on the Internet. So I’ve modified Poker Copilot to format hands so that they can be posted directly onto 2+2:
Here’s what the hand looks like when posted into 2+2:
The next Poker Copilot update will – finally – show you how much rake you’ve paid. Here’s a screenshot of the Advanced Dashboard:
This is also available in the custom charts:
Finally, after 3 years and more of Poker Copilot, I got myself some Poker Copilot business cards:
I created these using Moo.
Loyal Poker Copilot user Jarek asks whether I’ll add Entraction Network support to Poker Copilot. Are you playing on an Entraction Network room, such as 24h? If so, let me know in the comments that you would like to see Poker Copilot work with the Entraction Network.
I’ve spent some time today looking into some problems Poker Copilot has been having with Ongame. Notably, I had misunderstood how preferred seating worked in Ongame. I’ve adjusted Poker Copilot to handle this. Now you are required to set a preferred seat in your Ongame software for Poker Copilot’s HUD to work.

I suspect a person can create an account with one Ongame partner, create a second account with another Ongame partner, and play on both accounts at the same table at the same time. I’m not certain as I didn’t want to test this and get my accounts banned.
In trying to understand how the different Ongame Network clients prevent hand history files from interfering with each other, I played on two Ongame partners at once: bwin and Betfair. I signed in as notasteve on bwin, and as stevoski222 on Betfair.
I went to the play tables, and played on two different tables, one per account. However I noticed that I could see the same tables, and – potentially – play at the same table with two different user accounts.
Same IP address, same computer, same tables, different Ongame partners, different accounts. I think Ongame ought to fix this quickly.
