I am writing statistical software and I need your input.

[McBluffin]

Hello,

I am writing real time statistical software for online Texas holdem’ and I could really use your input. First I’ll describe what it does now and what I want it to do.

Currently all it does is keep track of the % of times your opponent sees the flop. It computes this statistic in real time. This means it starts gathering and revealing data right away and updates as you keep playing.

What I want it to do is keep about 3-10 vital stats on each opponent you are playing against. There are reasons that won’t go into here as to why I don’t want to keep more stats.

So, I could really use your input as to what are the most important real time statistics you would like to see.

Also, I am aware that there are far superior software apps out there and that mine will not be better. So why am I writing it?

1: It’s probably going to be free or very cheap (like $9.95)
2: I’m a programmer and I’m doing this for fun. That’s right I’m a geek and proud of it!

Here are the stats I am potentially going to record:

1. % of times a player voluntarily puts money in Pre-Flop.
2. % of times a player raises Pre-Flop.
3. % of times a player folds their Big Blind to what appears to be a steal.
4. % of times a player voluntarily puts money in on the Flop.
5. % of times a player voluntarily puts money in on the Turn.
6. % of times a player voluntarily puts money in on the River.
7. % of actions that are raises, calls, checks, and folds.
8. Overall how much money this opponent has won/lost to you.

I will also keep at least 10 stats on the entire table. So far I have these:

1. % of players who are seeing flop.
2. Avg. Pot size based on last X number of hands.
3. Number of hands per hour.
4. % of actions that are raises, calls, checks, and folds.

Any input is greatly appreciated and anyone who contributes a stat I use or any other valuable input will definitely get the software for free if I even decide to charge at all. After I get a lot of input I’m going to put up a poll to see which stats people most want to see. Thanks in advance!

Or you could just buy PokerTracker.

Sorry to tell you, but you got no chance. Pokertracker does all these things and more, players interested in analysis of their play already have this. Making your program cheaper then pokertracker woudlnt help, because pokertracker is only 50$, and whats 50$ for a poker player?
However if you did the same thing for Omaha, Omaha8 or Stud it would be quite cool and I would buy it, no matter the prize [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I can see how this would be a fun project. Here's my suggestion: try to fill a gap in the market.

To the best of my knowledge, there currently is NO tracking software available that covers Omaha at Party Poker. Forum searches reveal a few instances of people asking if such a thing is available and getting the answer "no".

I would pay $50 for such an application even if it were quite rudimentary.
