I have about 5 versions of my screen name (I play on a few different clients) and when I go to select my name from the player list there's 5 copies of my different screen names I use.

Only 1 of my alias' worked when running LB, when I selected the other ones I got that error I posted previously.

This wasn't an error on LB end, it was because PT4 was importing hands under a different screen name that didn't match that of LB's.

Hope that makes sense...

Also is payment via Skrill possible to purchase this product?

Cheers

Gotcha... it sort of makes sense, but not 100% sure why whatever name you had listed in PT4 would cause an issue.

That aside though, skrill is not possible. Just major credit card or paypal right now.

Hi

The *Register Now* button isn't working? I have tried un-install and then re-install but to no avail.

Literally nothing happens when the button is clicked. Any reason for this? (I managed to purchase through PayPal)

Cheers

EDIT: Also when I use the 'Report Bug' feature it comes up with "An error ocurred while reporting the bug. Please try again later"

Is a blue screen coming up for you asking you to register? What do you mean by not working exactly? Have you recently updated to Windows 8.1?

Hey mate

No blue screen comes up to register, not when I open the program or when I click register. It's as if I'm clicking on nothing.. Quite strange. I haven't updated my windows. Only using win7

I spoke with the developer. It's likely one of two things that's happening. I haven't seen this every before in over 5 years, so I needed to speak with him first.

1) Try disabling your virus/firewall software and then registering.
2) Update your .net : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=30653

No problems FreakDaddy. Will try both those methods and get back to you.

2) proved successful. Not entirely sure why it was the case, but it's now working fine and registered. Cheers for the help mate.

Ok, great. Glad it's working for you. Likely .net needed an update or something got corrupt with it.

Is there a way we can still purchase this using moneybookers / skrill?

Perhaps through HM. You'll have to contact their support though because they change available sales options from time to time. On the pokerleakbuster site it's just major credit card and paypal.

I just saw Leakbuster 4.0 is coming out. Do you have a release date? And is this a free update for existing users?

Guess we're getting this question a bit. Yes, it will be free for existing Leak Buster owners. LB is going to increase in price when 4.0 comes out though. We do not have an official release date yet. I will say it's going to be very soon. Likely shortly after the holidays is my best guess. There's a lot of new things going into 4.0. I'll try and list some of the highlights.

- Improved interface
- Updated Stat Ranges
- New Micro Stat Ranges
- New Stake level dependent advice
- New Stats Analyzed like C-bet OOP, Overbet Turn, Freeplay aggression, etc..
- 1-click Instant Hand Review of Leaky Hands
- New Secondary Deep Level Analysis with Improved Leak Detection (links more stats with post flop play and provides feedback).
- Exportable Coaching Reports
- New Videos

There's more, but that's the highlights. In essence, it's going to be smarter and more precise, and I think people will be pretty surprised about the depth of what it does find. It's in very early beta right now, so assuming all goes well, sometime after the holidays is a realistic release estimate.

Awesome to know, made me buy it now. For still a "low" price.

Good... you're going to enjoy it. The goal in Leak Buster 4 is to make it the most valuable piece of poker software on the market. A pretty bold statement, but we have a really good team. I know there will always be some doubters, but as LB 4.0 evolves, I'm pretty confident those will disappear.

Personally, I've been a successful poker player for a lot of years and so have other people that have been involved in the software. I try and look at it from the perspective of what I would want as an evolving mid stakes player. What would really be valuable to me as a player, and what would I want to know and learn from if I was coming up from micro stakes.

There's going to be a lot of cross analytics in LB 4.0, that will allow it to be a great guide for some of the best players, and those who are still learning. I'm going to do some tutorials after it's released to show how and why that is.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks, looking forward to the new version.

Where did you get the hands that you base all this on from?

???????

I assume you mean steps 2&3 of leak buster. Steps 4-9 use different data sets.

Each stat update that's been done on Leak Buster uses about 140-160 million data mined HH's across multiple popular poker sites. It's important that untampered data is used in creating stat ranges. We have a stat crunching program that finds the mean low and high profitable range peaks. So we crunch a lot of data, which on average takes about 5-7 weeks to run and collect. This has been talked about in a lot of different articles over the years if you want to google and find more info.

could you link to these articles that explain how your stat ranges are formed in more detail?

I don't have any off hand linked on the system I'm on. Pokersoftware, rounders radio, and some other radio shows have archived discussions about leak buster, as well as articles. Keep in mind, the stat ranges are just ONE small part of leak buster. There's a lot more useful resources for players of all skill levels.

In essence though Leak Buster weighs ranges based on percentage of players that have the highest winrate for that stat block. And then it provides leak significance based on that. So a simple example is VPIP at 6-max might be a suggested range of 20-29. There are profitable players that can play say 32, but they are a smaller percentage of the population. A range of 30-32 may still be a winning range, but a smaller pool of players. If you play 31, it's not going to list this as a leak, and it will show what the average winrate for the ranges below and above the recommended ranges are. It may flag it as a warning (in this exact case, likely not... but for other stats it may do this).

The scoring algorithm is pretty complex honestly, but this is a simplified explanation of what it's doing. It's going to guide you towards how stats influence profitable play, and talk about why certain ranges are better than others. Nothing is absolute, and Leak Buster is very flexible about how it scores and understands stats and how they influence each other. After all, it's been developed by a lot of winning players, which is part of why it's been so successful. Our team knows and understand poker at a pretty high level.

I used to be a mid/high stakes player myself and have been a winning player for a long time. After losing pretty much my whole roll on black friday, I started playing some mid stakes, and again, thought I lost my whole roll. It took almost 11 months to get off the site I was on. So now, as of recently, I'm playing 50-100nl. I use leak buster on my own game simply because it helps me keep things in perspective and provides good feedback when my game goes astray. I know how to pretty well.

I can post stats all day from my past stakes that would demonstrate that. Right now though I use it in these games and it does help with my bottom line. I can show you in leak buster too if you want to see how my results match to what LB says, but I have zero critical leaks right now. The results of that are below. If you looked at all of my stat ranges, they would match right in alignment with LB down the line (almost everywhere). But for me, most of what I get out of it is that it points out more subtle leaks that I'm not completely thinking about in game (real time). Some simple things like I'm opening A4s too much in EP is a small example of something I recently adjusted.




I hope that answered your question and then some. If you have any other questions though, don't hesitate. I love talking about LB if you can't tell. I think it's the bees knees.

How often would you suggest reviewing the stats? What sample size would be relevant enough to see something out of that. Every 100K hands do a full leakbuster review? less, more?

In the manual and software we recommend at least 50k, but 100k is considered the most effective sample size. Obviously the more hands you have, the more accurate the results are going to be.

Any news on Leakbuster 4.0?

It's in the first stages of beta. We're still adding a couple of other features also, so it's slowing it down. But a couple of cool new things I'm really enjoying:

1) Right on the first screen you can click any of the leaks and it will pull up sample hands from that leak to replay. You can also right click and it will pop out an equity calculator with the hand all setup for you.

2) All filtering and headers are the same across all steps with a universal header. Just makes navigating and setting up specific filters so much easier.

3) The deep level analysis is finding more correlations in hands and data that point to very specific and import leaks. Loving the algorithm on this so far.

Still playing around with a lot. There's so many new things, but that's some of the things that I'm enjoying personally.

As long as testing continues to go well, it won't be too much longer. If this thing doesn't blow your socks off, I will eat my shoe.
