Hi Scylla/ GTO+,
I bought your software yesterday, and so far it is brilliant and I am loving using it. However, I have some very simple suggestions that I think might make it much easier to use, and I wanted to share them with you--in the hope that you might implement them!
These mainly concern the display of different bet sizes. In the screenshot attached, my cursor (which doesn't show) is on A2s in the hand matrix. So I can see that GTO+ wants to bet 103.1 with A2s. But what I can't see is:
- What the other colours represent in the hand distribution information to the left. To see, for example, that the pink/purple colour means "Bet 137.5 I have to click on Entire Decision and look below the hand matrix."
For this I suggest that the tabs at the top, which currently are greyed out, should appear (even when faded) in the colours used to represent them in the matrix. Then you could just look at them and see what the colour meant immediately.
I also suggest that, instead of displaying all of the arrows on the tree at the top in the same colour, you use the colours which correspond to the different bet sizes the arrows represent. So, for example, in this picture the arrow for Bet 103.1 would be that lighter shade of blue/turquoise.
-I have to work out each time which bet amount, like 103.1 in this example, corresponds to what % of the pot I input when designing the tree. This always takes me a moment, as I have to look at the pot size, shown as a number below the distribution, for each street, then try to remember/ guess what bet sizes I input, or try to work out myself what % of the pot the bet amount represents by actually doing the maths myself. For those who aren't so mathematically inclined (like me!) or for difficult total pot sizes, this can be a real headache.
For this I suggest that, next to the bet sizes listed on the tabs, you have the %pot shown in brackets. So the tab which is currently blue in this screenshot would for example show "Bet 103.1 (75% pot)" This would honestly make it WAY easier to use for me!
You could also do the same on the decision tree at the top.
I seriously think that these tiny changes would make the software much easier to use, for me at least--an maybe others will agree... The main reason I'm writing is because I want them in my copy! And congratulations on designing such a brilliant and reasonably-priced piece of software to begin with.
Let me know what you think!
