Very nice! I've registered and it works fine for me. I'm gonna be using this a lot I think.
If you are going to continue working on this and improving it, I think the previous two posters ideas were good:
* Be able to keep scanning and updating the tables continously in the background.
* If possible, be able to open up a table/join waitlist by clicking it in PTS. Maybe automatically join waitlists of the table with fish on them?
Thanks for a nice program!

Thanks for the support. I'm glad it works for you.
Yes i'm still working on the program to improve it, but right now i'm trying to fix what is not working perfectly so you will have to wait for additionnal features...
Right now what does not work perfectly is:
- some problem with the names of the database. Actually the database names displayed by PokerTracker may differ from the Datasources names used by ODBC to access the database. That's why some of you didn't recognize their database names in PTS. This is fixed and will be available in next release 1.04
- Slow database access. Right now PTS seems to be much slower than PokerAce for example. PTS works fine with small and medium databases, but some user with very large database just can't use it because it is too slow. I'm working on optimizing the database access right now, and there is no reason i couldn't have database access as fast as other programs. I hope it will be fixed soon. This will also be in release 1.04.
Concerning the addtionnal features, i want to be clear: PTS is not and will never be a software that can monitor and scan all the tables of the lobby while you are playing. There is a simple reason for that : for example, in PartyPoker, for the player list to be displayed AND updated in the lobby, the table has to be selected in the table window, and the poker lobby window has to be active. So you cannot play and scan at the same time, because the poker lobby window would come in the foreground every 2 seconds...
When i thought about this program, i really wanted to make a software that can help me select a table, and then play at the table. So for me, a poker session is more like:
* 5 minutes spent to select 2 or 3 tables with PTS
* 55 minutes of play
* 5 minutes to check if a better table is available with PTS. Eventually change tables
* 55 minutes of play
* etc...
I agree that PTS may not be very useful for players who multitable a lot...
Another thing is i really don't want to make PTS a "bot", that opens table and reserves empty seats, because i don't want it to be banned by Party or other sites. As i say in my site, i think PTS does nothing that somebody could not do with a pen, some paper and some time. I want to keep PTS that way, and the "automatic scan process" i implemented in the last release is the only automated thing i'm willing to add.
However i'm opened to your suggestions...
Thanks
