Any updates on the public beta?

Are there already positional stats?

positional stats not yet... It is planned, but they aren't available yet

Public beta: I'm still fixing a few things but soon

(the website is ready, but not online yet, and I'll probably still do
one or two private beta builds before launching the public thinggy)

Hey TacticalCoder,

any interest for another beta tester? I've got a 10.6.3 MacBook Pro.

good luck with your project!

i'd like to beta test this as well

Invites sent...

Public beta date obviously missed (ah software deadline ; )

Basically I'm adding first a few things that several beta-testers
requested.

So anyone who wants to try it can can still PM me or put his email in this thread.

That said website and public beta coming "real soon now" [TM]

I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro.

Would love to try it and be a beta tester

This sounds like a fantastic project. I play on Full Tilt on OSX 10.5.8. Any more room for me? If so, fishbulb06@gmail.com Thanks!

All invites have been sent by PM and/or email.

The big news is: the tracker & HUD now has a name: "Poker Lens" (Xypto being my company's name).

And a shiny website:

http://pokerlensapp.com

Website ain't 100% ready yet (we still need new font, the 3D logo ain't complete [missing cards & chips reflection]), but it is already functional and the "screenshots" link should give a good overview of what Poker Lens does

Thanks to all the 2+2 private beta testers that helped me on this project... Now the private beta phase is over, long live the (free) public beta!

P.S: could anyone tell me which mod I should contact to have the title of this thread changed to reflect the name? the "Xypto Poker for OS X" part should become "Poker Lens for OS X" or "Poker Lens (by Xypto) for OS X" or something like that

Nice I'm excited to try this. Any plans to add support for the Cereus or Everest networks?

The hand importer should already work for Everest hands but I don't think Everest already has a native Mac client: as of now Poker Lens only works on OS X. I used to play on Everest, on Windows. Now if there's a native Mac OS X Everest software, I'll of course add Everest support.

It's actually a bit tricky: the tracker works fine on Windows but the HUD is OS X specific. Poker Lens is not officially supported on Windows: you could take the OS X .dmg and extract the .jar and run it on Windows and then the tracker will work on Windows (several beta-testers have done it) but no HUD on Windows.

Poker Stars, Full Tilt and the Ongame skins are supported: no HUD yet on OS X for Ongame.

The next room I'll add support for will be the new Winamax.fr, which goes live june 28th (it's already live, but only for play money).

The plan is to first add support for any room that has native OS X clients

Ok thanks. I'm very impressed with the software so far. I'm not sure how hard this is but I would prefer to play with the poker client and Poker lens in a separate window than my tables. I do this using spaces. But this doesn't seem to work. Any chance of that changing? Also any chance of Rush Poker being supported? And the Cereus network's Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet both have native mac clients. As far as Everest goes there are no native clients but can be easily played on mac through the flash client. Good work overall though. I really appreciate the effort. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.

Oh and any chance of omaha support?

Thanks a lot, I've worked hard on this (and got some help by my brother, who's also a software dev)

Could you email me directly at "bernard at xypto dot com" to discuss about this? It shouldn't be too hard but I would need more details : )


Yup, but no ETA yet. Note that you can play Rush Poker and open Poker Lens next to you Rush Poker table(s) and put Poker Lens on the "Active cash games players" tab and sort by number of hands: that way you'll get stats about your most frequent opponent on the top of the list (that's what I do when I play rush). It's not as good as a real rush poker HUD, but it is better than nothing. So... It is planned, but not ETA.

OK, next on my todo list. Shouldn't be hard. But AP/UB hand histories would be most welcome (call to all btw).

Now that's funny: I played a lot on Everest on PC and never realized I could play on Mac using the Flash client. Does the Flash client save hand histories to disk? (I'll look into it but any help is welcome, including recent Everest hands).

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

Oh... More niceties are coming

I know it's been a while but thanks for the answers. I forgot I posted here.

I'm trying to get a UB HH and a Everest HH for you.

I have a couple more questions. I asked if you might include omaha support? I don't think you saw that question.

Also I'm a SNG grinder for the most part so I would like to be able to see my opponents SNG stats from the player's tab. Right now it only shows cash game stats. Also I want to be able to choose which stats I see from the complete list that the HUD can keep track of instead of just the basic ones you have there.

I would also love to have opponents ROI in the SnGs that I have played with them. Maybe it could also show how many games I've played with them. Also a way to filter show I have the ability to show only a particular BI level.

Also I would like to be able to automatically bulk import from a set file every time I launch the program instead of have to go through and select the file I want to import each time.

Hope that makes sense. I'll check back this time lol, so ask if I'm not making sense. And I'll send you and email about the spaces thing. Thanks.

Great!

It is planned but there are other things to work on first, so it won't be soon.

I'll have to think about it : about what really makes sense for SNGs (see below).

Shouldn't be too hard at all and it would make for a great addition to the tracker!

But you can't really have your opponent's ROI: the results shown would be biased towards SNG where your opponents got eliminated before you.

Once you're eliminated of a tourney, you get the tourney summary written to disk "up to where you got eliminated" (for example Full Tilt saves a tournament summary file saying "player 1: still playing, player 2: still playing, player 3: still playing, etc."

You cannot use that file to deduce an opponent's ROI as far as I can tell (I may be mistaken on this).


Oh, the whole DB is going to be persisted to disk. You won't even need to "bulk import" any more once the DB is persisted. This shall definitely be implemented before 1.0.

Talk to you very soon,

TacticalCoder

Ok I understand the opponent ROI thing. It would be really useful to have something like this though. Maybe it could be set up to only count the games that you won? I play Double or nothings so personally that would be great. Probably wouldn't work to well for normal SnGs since you wouldn't win enough though. Also could you put in the ability to see your own ROI?

As far as the stats for SnGs go they would be very useful. I understand opponents will have different stats during different phases of the SnG but after enough games you could have a baseline for if someone is to loose/tight. The more specific stats are the ones that would be more useful though. Things like how much opponents tend to cbet, what they do after limping pre and how aggressive they are in blind stealing would be enormously helpful. Your program already keeps track of these stats, I just want the ability to look at them when I'm not playing so I can make notes on them. This is because of another issue I have. The HUD is to slow for me when I'm playing 20+ tables. Is this just my computer or can it be improved? If I were to tile my tables it would be fine but I stack all of my tables and it takes a couple seconds for the stats to pop up after a different table is comes up.

Yup of course I can add the hero's ROI as a stat (and hence as a column too).

Regarding the ROI thing: I could add it for DoNs and it should, if I'm not mistaken, always work, no matter if you won or lost the DoN. It's for SnG that aren't DoNs that it simply doesn't work.

So, added as a "todo"...


OK, I see what you mean and it makes sense with what you asked before : customizable stats in the tracker's tables/cells. Not hard to add, very good suggestion!

AFAICT finding the HUD windows position on OS X is *hard*. Poker Lens does its best to be as responsive as possible, but when you stack and switch from tables to tables faster than the HUD for the previous table has shown up, some lag starts accumulating.

A faster computer will always help : but there's probably some other issue at work here.

I do 12 tables and 24 tables all the time on OS X but tiled: I will look into stacking a lot of tables that said, I probably can come with up with some magic to make it responsive when playing stacked too.

hi there,
This seems very exciting and Id certainly like to beta test for you... and me...
12 to 18 tabling on PS, G4 dual mirror with OS X.5
Would appreciate

Thanks

Any update?

Hey there,

sure... Well, actually I pay attention to never bump this thread myself so I always wait for someone else to post into it (but I check everyday here my PMs and this thread).

Actually I kinda screwed because my company is named "Xypto" but the tracker now has a name and in this big thread, that info got kinda lost: it's called "Poker Lens". I guess at one point I should contact a mod/admin here and ask if the name of the thread could be changed or if the thread could be closed and then I'd start a new one. Dunno what to do in my case.

Anyway, the website is: http://pokerlensapp.com

(in case you missed that, I know some people definitely did because I still get email asking for invitation to beta-test "Xypto Poker")

Btw anyone is free to download it now: it's now a public beta.

I've been a bit busy coding and releasing updates, so I didn't update the website. But there have been quite a few releases and bug fixes.

Added quite some stats: donkbet%, check/{fold,call,raise}%, AF and AFq% per street, etc.

Added support for the major french sites: PokerStars.fr, Full Tilt.fr, Winamax.fr (this later proved... interesting to work on: with their HH format constantly changing ; )

Fixed quite a few crash causes (actually the app crashes on purpose when anything abnormal happens while on beta, so that people can report the bogus behavior and force me to work quickly on a bug/crash fix).

Also improved even more the perfs.

The "sessions" tab (the one with the shiny candlestick) is even better looking than previously.

I'm now reworking the entire "filter" thinggy.

Things are looking good: I've got more and more people using the software daily and less and less bug reports (but more and more feature requests : )

Hi, just PM'd you about trying your software out. I play on Full Tilt (almost exclusively Rush Poker), just updated to Snow Leopard. Thanks!

Hey thejammer, I answered your PM.

I added some really cool stuff: now you can use any single font available on your system and you can mix these with the "pixel perfect" font, allowing to make georgous looking HUDs.

Here are two example I quickly made (don't pay too much attention, I made these myself very quickly and they're kinda ugly, but it's just to show that it's fully configurable):





Besides that, as usual, the hand importer got even faster and the DB even smaller (more to come).
