Hi,
Yeah i dont play sngs/tournies myself but i presumed that it wouldnt be of much use to add sng/tourney support for 1 main reason.
The software locks you out, when playing cash games it gives you 4 mins to play out before the blinds hit you but with a sng you might be playing 9 tables and half of them might not finish for 30+ mins so it would be extremely bad if the software locked you out if this was the case. Once i came across this problem i felt tournament/sng support wasnt workable and didnt give it any thought.
Id be pretty confident if there was a calculator that measured your ROI% it would show similar results to what my cash one showed, when your on a losing streak your ROI% will decrease because this is the time your more succeptible to tilt, also if your the type of player when on a heater thats gets too aggro and goes on auto pilot due to over confidence youll probably also see your ROI% decreases AFTER youve gone through a heater, the old Well im well up today so i can afford to gamble mentality kicks in.
If you could think of a workable solution where my software could successfully stop you from playing and if there is support for it id certainly consider adding it. I guess the first step if there was support would be to release a calculator that checks your ROI when your playing for longer than x hours, or ROI after playing more than x tournies in a session or your ROI when youve lost x tournies or won x tournies and if alot of people found their ROI was dropping similar to the cash situation then i guess some sort of stop system would obviously save you money in which case i might be able to come up with something.
My initial thoughts would be to come up with a way to stop you entering any more tournaments for x mins after the last one was played but id imagine this is quite difficult but maybe not impossible. Like i said if there is some support for it id look into it. Maybe start a thread on the suggestions area of the forum
www.tiltdemon.com/forum and if there is support ill look seriously at a solution.
edit// Another possible solution might be to display a message saying "limit lost exceeded" or "limit max time played exceeded" please dont start any new tournaments and if you do we can detect this and shut the client down. Now for sngs players that would be fine, im not sure if it would work for tourney players if they have pre bought into a future tournament thats starting in 30 mins for example. So if you did try to play another tourney it would close the client down and you cant play so it would be pretty stupid to do this, although many people may not like this solution?
