What poker software would you like to see in the future?
Howdy folks!
Lately I've joined a java class at my university and I've started writing down some code for a hand replayer/poker tracker. It's so much fun, like a page turner I just can't put aside.
At the moment I'm working on a hand parser for Europoker tourney histories,
and hopefully this will become a hand replayer in a reasonalbe amount of time.
After I finish that I might make it parse histories from other sites and cash games, and after that I will hopefully make it into a data base software, a little bit like hold'em manager, but my idea is to make it command based.
What I mean is that you will be able to type in commands to create any possible question about your poker history and quickly get an answer.
For example, such a question might be: how much money have I lost/won
by check-calling A-high flops with a flush draw but no straight draw with toppair and a kicker between 2 and 9, and the stacks were lmore than 50BB?
This would require the user to learn how to phrase such questions and might thus be less user-friendly than say holdem manager, but after learning this "language", it would probably take less time to execute exactly what you want.
Of course I could also make common commands available in graphical menus and hot keys.
Caveat: I have no idea whatsoever if the database part of the program will be efficient enough to handle something like 300 000 hands... :P well,well, holding my fingers crossed!
Now I'd like to hear, do you think that this sounds like the goods, or are you fully satisfied with the poker software you are using?
Is there any feature you've always wanted to see in poker software?
Greatful for any feedback :)
Cheers!
