looks like a tough sell that this isn't violating that rule, you are entering very specific info in to this, and it is telling you exactly how to play

ideally anyone who uses this will get their account locked, preferably with the funds confiscated too

Isn't it against the TOS of the major sites to use a program that gives advice on how to play a hand while playing?

lol guess I was too late. should have read the entire thread

I hope you put a keylogger into this program and are going to steal the bankrolls of all those [censured] shortstacks.

Just a quick heads up for any considering using this software on any poker site. All poker sites have approved software such at PT3 or HEM, things like that. You may want to check the approved software list before using this software. I would just hate more than anything to see any of you lovely shortstackers lose your bankrolls for what could be considered cheating.

A few things to address here:

1. IMO, the program does not fall under..."Any software that offers direct game play advice on the appropriate action to take, and which is also programmable or configurable beyond a very basic level." It is not programmable and I would not call it advanced configuration, would you?
2. If PokerStars or other sites were to ban the program while their client was open, I'd be fine with that. If they choose to do so and notify me, I'll add appropriate warning in the interface.
3. IMO, this calculator alone will not make you a profitable SS'er. I'd be surprised if anyone disagrees.

No keylogger...just a doomswitch.

Just received the following note from PokerStars.

Hello Aaron,

We're writing to you, as the author of the program 'Short Stacking Calculator', described in this forum thread:


http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/45...culator-121624

and on this website:

http://nyjet_twoplustwo.home.mindspring.com/

To clarify, this piece of software, and others like it, are not allowed to be used during play at PokerStars (which we define as while the client software is open). We understand that such programs have legitimate uses for analysing one's game, and we are happy for players to do so after their session is over. However, we believe that such tools cross the line when used during actual game play.

For a further explanation and examples of permitted and prohibited programs, please see our website:

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/room/prohibited/

Specifically, the section 'what kind of tools and services are prohibited?', which includes:

'Any software that offers direct game play advice on the appropriate action to take, and which is also programmable or configurable beyond a very basic level.'

You may wish to make it clear on your website that the tool is not to be used while the PokerStars client is open, in order to avoid any embarrassment or negative feedback from your users.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.


Regards,

Alex S

Per their request, I updated the website to reflect this. I also wanted to set the record straight in the thread.

Bottom line: Don't use this calculator while any poker client is open.

Added Version 2.1. Use the same link as before.

Changes:
Removed English language requirement. It should run under any regional setting now.
Added PokerStars warning.

Nice to see Stars clear things up pretty quickly.

Doesn't work with French (Canada) (using the , as decimal)
Work well with English (Canada

+1, same with russian

i have problems with the program

the hands in the chart are all green. i can change the variables above and it still doesnt change.

i have vista. how can i fix this?

Change your regional settings to English (USA).

thank you

great program

hi, i'm getting this error while trying to install the software (i get the same error for all software on the nyjet page...). this error pops up immediately when i clink on the downloaded icon.
translation: application not correctly inizialized
can you help?
thanks

You need to install the .NET Framework. It should be available from Windows Update.

thanks a lot!

Has this been designed to shut down immediately if you have a poker client running?

what a pity the program didnt destroy you yet, fuccing shortstacker!

Can you please update your software that if you setup Villain Steal Range (%) that Vilain Call Range (%) is automatically 50% of the Steal Range?
Or create one or two buttons to click: 50% fold equity 60% fold equity

this would make it so much more useful and easier to handle.

some sort of training module would be great, like in an ICM trainer: you see ur cards, stack sizes, steal stats and FE... then you hit jam or fold and the program tells you if you were right.

I like this software and only because I see lots of flaws in it. (and no I will not tell you what exactly hehehe)

Props to OP and this huge SS (unconscious?) level. Way to put confusion into established and working SSS. I expect this to ruin SS at least a little.
As a bonus many dickless SS bitches will simply ignore the warning and keep using it ingame which will eventually end in their ban, funds confiscated and hopefully redistributed back to players.

OP please keep this project running!
A+

Yes.

I'm pretty much done with development on this.
