Monty,
Thanks for the anecdotes. I'm always looking for reasons to postpone purchasing PT, and you've given me some more of them.
If I ever find time, I think it would be interesting to write an open-source poker tracking program. I don't see that there would be too many technical challenges -- the parsing code aready exists as
HandConverter and HistoryParser.
PT seems to me to be a textbook case of "first mover advantage."
