>>> Can ICM Cruncher do all this, and if not, can you add such a feature for a future release?
I think the app can handle this now, I don't think a new feature needs to be added.
First as you say, the payout totals don't match across their Twitter posts and in their deal. In the tourney clock pic, the top 3 payouts add up to 1.930M. In their deal the payouts add up to 1.805M and adding on the 105K and 45K gives 1.955M so there's an extra 25K in their deal. So to me it looks like the tourney clock pic isn't up-to-date and 25K extra was added to the prize pool's top 3 places after that pic was taken.
So we don't know the exact payouts but I punched it into the app anyway and got a result pretty close to what their deal was.
The 1st pic below is the normal fair ICM deal.
The 2nd pic is what they did, if I understood what they did that is. I started with Pic1 and subtracted off 105K from 1st place payout and 45K from 2nd place payout and re-ran the ICM. The result is pretty close:
Their deal: "Doc got 619k I got 604k and Ike got 582k"
In the app: 612k, 597k, 576k
In the app each payout is about 6 or 7k less, but I think this discrepancy is explained by the inaccurate final payout numbers we're working with.
>>> I guess I'm comparing it to complex spreadsheets that offer a stack of info and are very flexible. And how about making ICM Cruncher universal for iPad?
This app is a pretty basic ICM app and is priced that way at 2 or 3 bucks. It's certainly not as advanced an app as PokerCruncher. Sure we can make it as complex as we want but then it wouldn't stay at 2 or 3 bucks. I've gotten suggestions to make it as powerful as 'wiz and add randomly generated ICM quizzes, etc. Haven't done it, just a matter of deciding the scope of the app.
Re. universal, this is much more of a possibility next year. Right now though I'm pretty busy on the Android version of PokerCruncher, which is in the latter stages and I can confidently say that it will ship 'soon' : ).
Thanks for writing with suggestions.
