Poker Copilot Website in Spanish

A friend and professional translator translated the Poker Copilot website into Spanish. See it here. If you are a native Spanish speaker, your feedback is welcome. Some of the poker terms may need a small tweak as the translator is not a poker player.

 

Update for PokerStars Denmark Users (PokerStarsDK)

Denmark’s new online gambling laws came into effect on January 1st. In response PokerStars has released a Denmark-specific client, PokerStarsDK.

If you are playing on PokerStars in Denmark, you’ll need this Poker Copilot update. Thanks to loyal Poker Copilot customer Steen for helping me with this fix.

This update includes all the currently unreleased recent improvements. It also works on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). In the next few days I’ll be officially releasing this update as Poker Copilot 3. This will be a free upgrade for all existing customers.

 

New Unofficial Update

Download this unofficial update here.

This update adds:

  • two HUD layouts – one for ring games and one for tournaments.
  • much better Merge Network HUD support.

This update still doesn’t work for Mac OS X 10.5 – I’m still working on that problem.

Merge Network Notes

Until recently Poker Copilot had to guess the table size of Merge Network poker rooms. I noticed that Merge has added this information to hand history files, so now Poker Copilot can correctly determine the size of the table. This is a particular improvement for tournaments.

To fully benefit from this improvement, please make sure you’ve set a preferred seat in your Merge Network poker room for each table size that you are playing on, and that you’ve set the corresponding preferred seat in Poker Copilot (Preferences -> Poker Rooms -> Lock Poker). Also, you’ll need to drag each HUD panel to the place you want it initially. After that, they should stay where you put them.

 

 

 

Coming in the next update: multiple HUD layouts

The next Poker Copilot update introduces one HUD layout for ring games and one for tournaments. Here’s the preferences screen to configure them:

And here they are in action, two tables at the same time, with two different layouts:

Poker Copilot Fact of the Day

Over the last six months, France has accounted for 20% of Poker Copilot sales. In the last month, this has risen to 25%. Somehow this information eluded me until today.

I’m not sure what this means from a business decision-making perspective. It could mean I should focus on enhancing my French support, by translating the user guide into French and finding a French speaker to help with user support in French. Or it could mean that I need to focus more on countries other than France to compensate for the lesser sales.

 

Unofficial Poker Copilot Update for the Brave

I’ve updated a couple of key third-party libraries in Poker Copilot. This broke some stuff, which I believe I’ve fixed. However my belief is weak so I’m making the update publicly available for anyone to try before making it the official release. Download it here.

The most significant change is that some problems with Merge Network stats are fixed. Other changes:

  • Search tournaments with free text search
  • The bottom bar now includes more info – # of tournaments and database size
  • You can view the all-in equity chart in currency ($) or in big blinds (BB)
  • Searching for players and tournaments tells you how many matches you have
  • You can use Poker Copilot in any available language without changing your computer’s language

Who uses BarrierePoker.fr?

Loyal Poker Copilot customer Florian asks for the France-only poker room BarrierePoker.fr to be added. As I’m not in France, I can’t get onto this poker room to check it out. So some questions:

  • do you use BarrierePoker.fr? would you like to see Poker Copilot support it?
  • how popular is BarrierePoker.fr? Are there plenty of players and tournaments there?
