Re: To Programmers: Party Points Program Wanted (Small Donation Availa
I understand what you are saying Pogo and I have never had incorrect results in limit games. In limit games all raked hands count in earning Party points.
NL is where Im having problems. I play 6-max NL50 right now and it becomes more difficult in small pots because the number of players affect whether it is counted in a raked hand. Example a $0.05 rake counts as a raked hand if its 5 handed but not if it is 6 handed. I believe the innaccuracies I have are coming from the calculations I have to do manually in these examples.
Also when you set PT to look at a certain day it mixes in hands when a session starts one one day and continues onto the next (I.e. I start playing at one table at 11pm PST on April 11 and play for 2 hours, PT will count all hands when I sort for hands played on April 11 even though 1 hour was played on the 12th).
I believe a correctly written program would give an accurate number of Party points earned better and quicker than I could do manually. There are also alot of people (judging from other post on the internet and internet bonus forums) that like something like this because it would be easier than calculating it themselves.

** My comment about NL a $0.05 not counting in a 6 handed game as a raked hand is based on the following form PP website
[ QUOTE ]
Raked hand
A hand that a) a player participates in (dealt cards) and b) has generated at least $0.01 in rake for that player. Generated rake is calculated by dividing the total rake collected in that hand by the number of players who were dealt cards.

After looking at my play the last few days I get closer to accurate PP totals when I just count every raked hand so I don't know if they follow this or not. If they are not then the program request becomes less neccessary although it still would be useful to some people**
