Yes, but before we start work on the Mac port the regular version needs to be further along than it is. Hopefully we'll be looking at starting work on the Mac port sometime this summer.

Beta 23 Released

Added:

• New Site: Cereus
• Hud: PT Icon -> Mark Hand for Review
• Hud: Player notes
• Hud Filter: Last X Hands
• Party preferred seating

Fixed:

• Memory leak/crash source
• Boss: Import problems
• Boss: Tables with accented characters in the name should now be recognized by PT3
• Hud: Popup stats for hero aren't retrieved if there are no hero groups in the layout
• OnGame: Very large databases will now import correctly
• Running out of db connections, causing strange error messages in reports

There are several highly requested features added in this version:


Cereus Network support. PT3 now supports the Cereus Network and all old Absolute Poker hands. Preferred seating is supported, but needs to be manually configured in the Cereus Network auto-import configuration options. Be aware that Cereus Network support has only had a little bit of alpha testing, so it's very likely that there are some issues remaining.

Hud "Mark Hand for Review." Playing 24 tables and just finished a hand you want to review later? Now you can quickly and easily mark that hand for review. Simply click the PT icon on the table, go to the "Mark Hand for Review" option and choose the hand. Was the hand a couple hands back? PT3 will give you the option of the last five hands to mark. What this option does is to add a note to the hand labeled "Marked for review". Now when you go to the Sessions tab in PT3, the hands that are marked can easily be identified in the list by the Notes icon visible next to the hand information.

Hud "Player Notes." Now it's easy to add and review notes that you add in PT3. In the Hud Stats Configuration, under the Stats -> Special tab, there is a new item labeled "Note Editor". Simply add this to your player group and on the Hud, PT3 will display a Notes icon. If the player has notes, the icon will be yellow. Simply hover it to show the player notes in a tooltip. If you wish to edit the notes, simply click on the icon.

Hud "Last X Hands" filter. This filter has been highly requested. It was avoided mainly for one reason: The incompatibility with the cache. If you decide to use this filter, you unfortunately will not be able to use the cache with it. This may or may not cause performance problems for you.


Also in this release a memory leak was fixed. This leak was in a location of code that is touched by nearly every aspect of the application. It was responsible for the astronomic memory use that PT3 would occasionally suffer from (especially with OnGame imports). It was also a potential cause of mysterious unexplainable crashes. It's possible that if you were experiencing random crashes before that you may not with this version.

To give you a general idea of the immediate plans for PT3, the next beta release will contain few, if any, new features and a large number of bug fixes. We want to take care of a lot of the outstanding problems some people are having and release a stable build for those of you who don't like using beta versions. Once the stable version is released, we plan on starting the new year off with a lot more new sites supported as well as exciting new features, some of which are listed in our Development Timeline. We are still interviewing for the development position(s), so if you are interested, send us your information.

Thanks to those of you who have submitted hands to us, but we still need more. We need hands from the following sites:

• B2B
• Betfair
• Bodog
• Cryptologic
• Microgaming Network
• Pacific Poker
• Tain Network
• Tribeca
• *Old* Ultimate Bet
• World Poker Exchange

We need hand histories in all formats and both cash and tournament hands. For sites that use database files or single xml files or whatever, we need those as well as any datamining formats and PT2 exported formats. The more hand histories we get, the easier and faster it will be for us to get support added for the site. The sites above are not listed in the order we will be adding them. We have been going by http://pokerscout.com and adding the sites by size. We may continue to do this or we may skip around now that the unsupported sites are pretty similar in size. To submit your hand histories, please follow this link.

I've also updated the How To: Advanced Hud Edition with a new shinier HUD that takes advantage of the notes editor and has positional stats. The files required to make the HUD work are in the post, as well as screenshots and explanations so you can expand on my HUD as you would like.

So I guess that thread a while back about people wanting PT3 to refuse support for AP/UB never went anywhere?

It was something that was debated, I believe, but in the end pleasing our customers who want support for the network seemed the most important thing to do, rather than refuse support for ideological reasons.

Are the features of HUD in Replayer or being able to turn off HUD on tables Hero is not sitting at ever going to be available? I do not understand how these can continue to be neglected.

As a player with multiple iPoker accounts;

Huge thanks for the notes feature!!

There are a number of features still waiting to be implemented. We aren't "neglecting" any of them. We simply haven't had time yet to get to them. We are looking to add new developers to our team, so once that happens, hopefully new and expanded features will become available much quicker.

You're welcome!

Having a good play with beta 23. In the meantime, I just found an interesting bug (well, maybe)

It seems that players whose names beging with a '/' dont show in the hud - if I sit with one then everyone elses stats show up fine, except theirs. Case in point was some guy called '/\ggressive' or something like that. His stats NEVER showed in the hud no matter how many times I restarted or switched things on and off.

Not exactly a huge deal but I thought it was interesting

Quite similar thing with player names starting with '{'. You can't see their names if you try to find them. It also used to make PT3 lag really bad when auto rate went through this player. In the recent betas the auto rate works fine though.




edit. Love my PT3 btw. Haven't really had any serious problems with it and I've been using it for six months or so. And it feels like things have really started to get going in the past couple of months. Keep it up

Hahahaha! Still BETA!? Wtf!?
I remember buying this in May this year expecting it to be good. I am so glad I use Holdem Manager instead.
This must be a joke!

Yes, we use the term beta to test new features and bug fixes before labeling a release stable. We do this so our users know that the new features may have bugs. Our users get a choice between the stable version, which should cause them less problems but won't have the latest features, or the beta version, which may have a few problems, but has the latest new features.

Our use of the term beta does not infer that the software has not been released yet, or that it's not of commercial quality. Here is our release cycle:

1. Development of new features.
2. Alpha release given to alpha testers. They report bugs, developers fix bugs. Repeat until alpha release seems pretty stable.
3. Beta release given to the public. Features are tested by a wider user base. They report bugs, developers fix them. Repeat until beta release seems pretty stable.
4. Release stable release.
5. Go back to 1 for new features for the next release.

So please, before spouting off nonsense, try understanding what you're talking about first.

If you could, please attach a hand history of this player to a support ticket on our site. That way we can add this issue to our bug tracker and get it resolved.

If you could attach a hand history for this player too, it would help us out. We'll add this issue to the bug tracker.

Done.

Thanks, we appreciate it.

IMO, I think PT3 pass up HEM with release 3, I only like HEM for session reviews, but PT3 is catching them quickly with some of these new features.

For the notes, is there a way to turn off the pop up that says something like "Do you want to save the changes to the player notes", or something like that, its slightly annoying.

Just hit the Enter key. It will save and close the notes window automatically.

How can I create a report that shows what people are most likely to do in their first hand?

This may be possible but off the top of my head I can't think how to do it. I'd imagine you'd have to do some fancy tricks with postgreSQL date functions in a custom statistic. For more on how to use PostgreSQL date functions, please see this thread where we discussed them and it might help point you in the right direction.

Hey guys, I'm dumb...can't figure out how to combine my stars and FT sn into one in PT3. Plz let me know if you have a sec, thx.

Ticket sent.

I don't mean to be rude, but you guys are always bragging about how PT3 is so "powerful". But a little tool that could do this could be immensely helpful in figuring out the correct "default" plays. For example, an unknown player sits down with our hero at a heads-up table. From the information provided from this tool, hero has discovered that, on the first hand, new players 3-bet a PFR 1.5 times more often. Knowing this, hero can make a better default play by tightening up his standard range.

In the heads-up world where hit-n-runs are extremely common, knowing the best default plays can be a huge advantage over the competition.

i just dled the beta, why wont it recognize stars is on? its on but still says "not running"

i cant even submit my screenname to the beta or anything, im probably just ******ed at this type of thing

im a tourney player so its not that big of a deal, just wanted to see in graph form how much i spew at cash games
