Question for Truepoker CEO

47outs · #1 02-01-2005, 06:54 PM

In looking over the forum for pokertracker, Pat states that truepoker is lacking certain information in their hand historys to make pokertracker worthwhile to support truepoker.

I was wondering if truepoker can add the necessary information in the hand historys to make it pokertracker compatible. Dare I say it... maybe the same as Partys hand historys?

Thanks

First I ever heard of this.

As far as I know, pokertracker has never contacted us. If they do so, we would look into what` would be required and whether it makes sense.

(I have no idea of the technical aspects of this however.)

I am interested in whether this change would be a plus in the view of our current and potential customers.

In any event, it would be a project behind some other changes in the works here.

This would be a plus in the view of this current (albeit irregular) customer.

i think he is asking if his fishies would not like it. but the truth remains that the fishies would not know if true became PT compatiable because they don't even know what it is. so my answer to ceo is don't worry about scaring the fish. there is another aspect that ceo may be worried about and that is the fact that the fishies will likely lose quicker because the sharkies will have the database to aid in fish finding and subsequent explotation. so the question is "do i want to make all the sharks happy (the ones that will be long term revenue) or should i worry that all my fishies will go broke a tad faster?."

i would think the fact that you may pick up sharks that have avoided your site because of no PT would more than make up for a faster fish-go-broke rate.

i would doubt that very much

Actually, my thought process is seldom that evolved. The question was a pretty generic one, but you do bring up a good issue ....
A couple of years ago, we formerly had left certain "inefficiencies" in place to make our site more "fish friendly" than the norm..... But, it seemed to have little positive effect.

We do try and attract newbie players and offer 4 FREE S&Gs for them, they can win up to $100 without any deposit required ... After that, they must fend for themselves in ring games.

To answer your general theme, I would love to pick up a critical mass of rake paying sharks or wanna-be sharks .... and would devote considerable resources to attracting fish.

Interesting, I think I will have a go at those SnGs.

Ok, now if current and future true players would get behind this and post here that would be great.

Pokertracker support is definitely a criteria on my decision to play a site or not

Same for me, I won't play a site that doesn't have PT support. I started @ Pacific, and due to it's lack of PT support (after trying Party & Affiliates), I will never play a site that doesn't support it again.
