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.

hope someone can find this useful, enjoy!

is this gonna put a bot on my system that lets u see my cards?

Yes, but not until after it copies all your personal info and stored passwords.

If you feel that way you dont have to use my tool, but dont talk [censored] about things you have no grounds for whatsoever.

rbcalc is of course opensource and freeware, complete source code is available on the homepage.

So, umm...is it counting the tournament hands as actual rakeback hands rather than just the buyin? If not, somehow I've managed for 300k of rakeback in 11 days.

Spammy and cross posted in 3 forums, nice.

[pat82]

I posted this in the rakeback topic when I maybe should have put it under software. So that is why I made a link refer to the original thread in the software forum and it was not meant as spam.

sorry about that

[pat82]

rbcalc currently only works for the partypoker type log files, you just drag and drop one or manny files, it even handles entire folders, ontop of the program and it calculates the rake.

jmillerdls, no Im sorry to say that rbcalc does not work for tournament logs yet, I am working on that as we speak.


Rbcalc calculate the rake like this:
The total rake in a hand will be the difference between how much the winner gets and the total number of bets placed in the pot. The players rake will be the total rake in the hand divided by the number of players in that hand.

I think this should be correct?

At least someone is giving this guy the benfet of the doubt. Encourage ppl who are trying to help the poker community. Look how great PA hud turned out. This could be similar. Don't hate unless u got a reason.
