Sure the early stages of tournaments do need something like this, but I have read that tournament players generally agree that later-stage, high-blind play is what separates the winners from the losers. Thus, the demand for a program has already been met very well by those ICM programs. And if tournament players want to practice early-stage strategy, they can just use the cash-game part of the program. Thus, much of tournament play is covered. Personally, I would prefer it if tournaments was at the bottom of the list.
I also do not care if Party and iPoker are added, but that is just based on what I want, and I have no real argument to help push what I want here. I can understand why it would be high priority for you, so I guess there are just some things we must learn to accept. However, keep in mind that if you start adding one site after another, then each time a site modifies the format of its hand-history, it will take up some chunk of your development time.
I am very interested in the AI enhancement. But from what I understand, you already have better AI, and you did not roll it out. Will the enhancement be to just roll out more of what you already have, or will it be something else?
Cliff Notes to what I am most interested in:
(0) Fix bugs
(1) Major AI enhancement (what will this be?)
(2) Add heads up
(?) Add support for Hold'em Manager and Poker Tracker
I put a "?" next to HM and PT3 support because I am not sure about how important that is to me, but it is important.
Their are two Major AI enhancements. One is for preflop and one is for postflop. The postflop is top secret
, but the preflop is going to be using AI to predict how two of the world's best pros play each hand in each situation.
So basically in the future the preflop advice is basically going to be "here's what these two awesome pros would do in this situation". That might sound easy, but we've already done the easy stuff. The harder stuff is in this position, with this stack, with this hand, facing this opponent with these stats, what should we do?
This is nothing remotely as complex as post flop. It's a nice improvement simply because we haven't focused too much attention on preflop. Deep stack post flop is about 1000x harder than preflop -- and we've focused most of our effort there -- ironically somewhat at the expense of the easiest place -- preflop.
Right now we only use profiling data about what you've imported into our program. If you are a PT or HEM customer, in the future we'll query their databases for profiling info. Also, we'll make import easier -- so you can see in a window all the hands you've imported into these products -- and choose which one's you want us to analyze.
