New poker tool - Rakeback calculator (super fast)

[pat82]

hi everyone, im a comp sci student and right now Im freshening up my C# for upcomming exams in january.

Since im going to invest alot of time coding exercise tasks I thought I might aswell code something useful instead.

I remember from my old FL-days that I missed a nice tool to calculate my rakeback.


You can get an estimation of the rake you paied with tools like pokertracker, but this is just an avrage and can be pretty far off the real numbers unless you have huge databases AND have played with almost exactly the same number of players at the table all the time aswell as at the same stakes. Pokertracker is also extremly slow when loading large ammount of logfiles since it reads and calculates alot of other stuff.

So I made a small tool for this. It loads the pure party poker logfiles just as pokertracker but is over 40 times faster and calculates the rake generated exactly as partypoker does.

rbcalc is just a first "beta" release, I have been working on a graph engine to the program that will be implemented after X-mas. The idea is that users should be able to draw a graph over their winnings with the rakeback graph beside it so one can see how much of the total winnings is from rakeback.


Please use this thread for feedback and ideas to improve the program and/or ideas for other useful tools (nothing to heavy) and I will take a look at it when I get the time.
