This post is to announce a FREE ALPHA TRIAL VERSION of the new Sixth Sense software.

Created by poker players, for poker players - Sixth Sense is the newest, and best TABLE SELECTION tool in existence. Dozens of programs teach you how to play, show you your odds, show you your current opponents stats, etc. But the realm of table selection has taken a back-seat when it comes to enhancement software - UNTIL NOW.

Right off the bat - is it legal?
YES!
Currently, it is widely accepted that as long as you are not sharing databases or hand histories, you are free and clear from any warnings or frozen accounts. Sixth Sense DOES NOT SHARE any database or hand history information whatsoever. We simply provide an up to date, sortable, and customizable list of all of the information that is already listed in the PartyPoker Lobby.

What does it do?
Our Sixth Sense system constantly scans the active tables at PartyPoker and stores the information on our personal server. The Sixth Sense Client then downloads this information, applies the player statistics and information from your personal database, and allows you to sort the tables according to profitability! Our highly-developed Fish Score equation then rates the players and sorts the tables based on which one has the highest accumulative Fish Score. The higher the score, the more profitable the table is for you!

How profitable is it?
More detailed graphs/information on the importance of table selection can be found on our website. In short - If you only chose the top 10% of tables, as opposed to a random selection, your win rate could increase by nearly 100%!

Fish Score?
Ben Ziegler and Myself have analyzed millions upon millions of hand histories, and the result of this analysis is our Fish Score equation. This equation will easily allow you to find the weakest players at any level, and sit right smack next to them.

You can run but you cant hide!
Tired of your favorite fish/buddies hiding themselves from search? With Sixth Sense, no fish is beyond your sight. If they are sitting at a table in our list, you can find them! This ability alone is very +EV.

How can I try it?
Detailed instructions and more program information are on our homepage - http://www.sixthsensepoker.com/ . The current Alpha version only works with Party Poker, and only with NL200-2000 and LHE 5/10-100/200. Future versions will include more levels, more sites, more games.

Remember - The game of poker starts BEFORE YOU EVEN SIT AT THE TABLE. Nomatter how hard you study, or how hard you train, if you are not playing against weak opponents, you will not be anywhere near the winrate you have the potential for. Try Sixth Sense and see for yourself how much table selection makes a difference.

I would really like to try it, but I multi table low limits. Gives us a hollar when you have it ready for low limit tables.

Normally i wont even bother trying a program out if there are no screenshots available.
It really puts me off for some reason.

Here are some screenshots:

This sounds ok.

This doesn't. It sounds like PokerEdge.
-Sam

Well PokerEdge uses their own database, and that's why it is banned. We simply used these hands to develop the equation.

All fish scoring is done client side. 100% of the statistics you see are derived from your own database.

In addition to Bens, here's another.

Ah! Cool. I agree that this sounds legal.

Can I write my own fish-scoring, if I don't like your method? (Some people like to play against loose opponents, some like tight, some like either as long as they're extreme.)

Do you know how much the software will cost? Since it connects to your servers for the table-lists, are we looking at subscription prices?

Is this only for Party Poker? Only for PokerTracker?
-Sam

We have had the idea for an Advanced User area, with more detailed customization available. Though it isnt our first priority, it is definitely on the list of future upgrades
After we are satisfied, we will advance the project into a registered Beta period, for which we expect to charge 29$. The beta period will be guaranteed to last at least 1 month, and it could extend further, depending on how quickly progress is made. Those who register will have full access to our server during that time.

We arent even sure how advanced the program will be by the time we have a full release, so we do not yet know how much the final version will cost. But it will most likely be on a monthly basis, seeing as we will regularly be doing upgrades and maintaining the server/lists.

At the moment, yes. As soon as we are satisfied with the overall program we will be immediately branching out to other poker sites. This is when Sixth Sense will show its true power.

Thanks for taking the time to inquire

Hi,
Nice idea this software... Too bad i already had it 6 months ago...Your software only tries to do what PokerTableScan already does. And PokerTableScan is already compatible with a lot of poker sites, and has a lot of other features...
Anyway, i hope you can bring something new to the poker community, good luck with your software...

PTS support

lol

I was just about to ask OP to convince me why I should use this product instead of PTS.

PTS or 6th sense? ahhh

There are very many unique differences in Sixth Sense that make it more effective, more reliable, and more profitable.

1) Sixth Sense retreives and serve the table list in REAL TIME from our server. When this is done client side, CPU load increases (which is bad with PT/PAHUD running too), the lobby/scanner arent very reliable, etc. Having the table list as a real time, server-run operation is one of the core fundamentals that separates Sixth Sense from anything else.

2) We have compiled and are including our own Fish Scoring equation. This is far more advanced than a simple "all players with X stats are given X score". Especially to those who dont have the time to develop an effective equation of their own. This is also a key, fundamental part of the Sixth Sense program, and I dont believe is included in PTS.

3) Faster scoring - We use a better caching system, allowing for larger databases to score tables much faster. Speed is CRUCIAL in table selection, seeing as the players seated change quickly.


I will agree that the general idea is the same. But you cant claim to be the sole proprietor of an idea so general as "finding the fishiest table before you sit down". Every serious online poker player has thought of this at some point in his career. We believe that we've found the best way to do it. Sixth Sense is the result.

I see dead fish.

I just downloaded this program and tried it out. I currently use PTS to table select MS/HSNL and I like it a lot. The server side table scanning of SixthSense is very cool and the program is less computer intensive and more stable than PTS. It was also easy to set up and connect my PokerTracker databases. That said, this program currently is not very good for table selection because the only way to sort tables is some (not very useful in my opinion) measure called "Fish Score." With PTS I can import my Party buddy list and then sort the tables by the number of buddies sitting at each table. I can also create a "fish" profile for anyone with a VPIP > 40 and sort the tables by number of present fish. The server side aspect of SixthSense is very cool and I think the program would be great if I were able to sort tables by other stats. With some changes I would be willing to pay to use this program!

this statement makes me uneasy

I am very disappointed with pokertablescan. It is way to slow . I will give this a try and hopefully it works a bit faster.

Same here. I dont know if im not doing something right but PTS takes at least 20 minutes to load up the tables for just one limit and i dont even attempt to have it search for buddies. Sadly pretty much worthless for me so far.

Hi,
There is nothing wrong with your software, and i hope you make something good of it. I just wanted to say that PTS already exist. That being said, good luck with your software.

What cts said basicly. PTS is really slow and buggy for me so this sounds like a great idea. The thought of a server side scanning that is stable really appeals to me. I really don't care much for your fish score though, and would like to be able to specify what kind of player I want to sit with.

OH NO YOU DI-IN'T!!! It's on now. Oh, it's on.

Does it need PT or will it work with PokerOffice / raw hand histories?

Thanks for your input guys, seriously.

We've been working very hard on this program, and are extremely excited about its potential.

Since so much of our initial feedback has been requesting more customizable fish scoring/buddy finding options, we've bumped that up on our agenda.
On the client side, the next updates (within a day or two) you can expect to see:
1) Customizable scoring options
2) Working/usable buddy list
3) More accurate 'updated' list
4) Improved Table opening (Doubleclick a table from sixth sense, it scans through your partypoker lobby and opens the table for you! No more checking/searching!)

On the server side, we are upgrading/adding scanners to cover EVERY NLHE and LHE table on Party poker. (excluding beginner tables of course)

Thanks again for the input, fellas. Keep checking back, and help us build this tool the way it will work best for you.

-Dan

Currently in its alpha version, it does need PT to work. We will be adding support for PokerOffice in the near future though.

It will most likely not be able to work with raw HHs at any point though. Processing massive amounts of hand histories like that takes a LOT of CPU power, and our goal is to make Sixth Sense take up as few resources as possible.

When you're running a HUD, PT, multitabling software, AND the poker lobby, the last thing you need is another resource hog.

Expect PokerOffice support before it goes advances to a paid version of the program.

Thanks,
Dan

is it constantly scanning the tables on the server side? If not how often. Also would you consider releasing the server software as well so you could run it on a another comp in your house and just connect to it?
