This is the shiznit

Sometimes I go a month or so without checking the software forum over at 2+2. When I go back, I'm always kicking myself in the ass.

Here's the latest development in fish finding softare.

From what I've read, it takes your PT date from your database and applies it to the players currently seated at Party Poker tables. It then gives you data on what tables have your fish, which tables are fishiest, and it updates pretty much constantly.

Anyway, much more information and discussion on the product is available

I'm getting ready to give this baby a whirl right now, just thought I'd give a heads up about it. Sounds awesome.

I have been playing around with it for the past day, and it is pretty sweet. Too bad they are going to charge some monthly fee.

Monthly fee does suck, but I'm going to evaluate it. I've played around w/ the program for a few minutes now and it's great. Depending on the charge, it may be worth it for me. Now, I'd just datamine and wouldn't have to worry about the manual stuff I used to do to get a buddy list up. Saves time, does a more thorough job, and updates constantly.

I came up with my own custom scoring rules, kind of like the fish criteria in the game selection thread, and I like it. I put 3 different categories in:

Loose Passive
Maniac
and
Weak-Tight

I put a value on each one and it rates each table accordingly to those values.

I can sort tables by VPIP and see exactly who is at the table, then select the table through the program and it cycles thorugh the party list and finds/opens the table for me. This program rocks. I may cream my pants.

u like it even for NL?
i can see how it would be awesome for Limit, or even low stakes NL but dont u play $600 NL? i dont see how it would help alot unless u figure there are pretty consistant fish there.

i just dont see how it would be too useful for 1k NL, but wut do u think?

Considering it is easier to profit from bad players in NL (those that call far too often, especially for stacks on the river against my weak-tight ass), I would say that it is important.

PShabi · #6 07-17-06, 08:34 PM

Of course it's useful! It gives you information for EVERYONE sitting at your limit (that you have stats on).

I obviously don't play NL1000, but I'm sure not everyone there is a good player. This software lets you look at everybody and hand pick your opponents!!!! So, even if they're all good, you still get to pick the weakest of them!!!

That's an advantage at any level. Sure it's more of an advantage for certain games than others, but any edge is an edge worth exploiting.

ok, im gonna figure out how to download this thing, u guys talked me into it.

also shab and boobie, as u know i run seriously nothing while playing. and i know there have been threads in the past about all sorts of programs to use.
just what other programs do u find extremely useful that i should DL that arent like pahud and that stuff- cuz i dont like those.
the only 1 i can think of now is partyplanner - is that thing cool?

Shabi's thread on table selection basically has the majority of programs that I use. I also use when playing NL because I hate having to type in the number I want to bet, or use the scroll bar when trying to enter a bet. It bets the pot (after preflop) with a middle click, and 3/4 pot with a right click. Also, when you use the scroll button on the mouse, just roll it up and it will go up +1BB. It saves a lot of time for me.
