New Software Announcement – Smart Buddy,the universal poker buddy list

[Poker Pro]

I am not sure where it is on the feature list but it should not take very long to implement. We will be releasing additional site support next week and will start on some of the requested features at that time. Table Shark provides a table centric view of all the tables and the players from your buddy list.

We did contact PokerStars and are now waiting for their reply. We will post it as soon as we have it. Thank you for your patience.

Software looks nice.
Do you have any plans in making the network protocol public?
I would like to have an easy to parse text oriented protocol so
I can write my own apps.
Like I would write a miranda plugin and a tool that notifies
me via sms if a very big fish goes online etc..

Is it possible to launch the tables through thi program like on Ultimate Buddy or a player search on FTP or PS? For me, this is a must have feature.

Dakra, we have made API’s available for our other products in the past so we will definitely explore it for this product as well.

Ace0fspades, we will be making it possible to launch the tables via Smart Buddy. Can you let me know why you want a player search? We can add it but not sure if players need it. We already check to see it the name is valid when you add a player to your buddy list.

As of Saturday noon, a search of our incoming Email did not turn up the phrase "Smart Buddy" or "SmartBuddy" in any Email from 5/17 through today.

Such requests would normally be forwarded to me, and I am not in receipt of such a request.

It is not completely clear whether Smart Buddy would be permitted on PokerStars. There are aspects of the software which will be of concern (notably, its reliance on an external database maintained by Poker Pro Labs of who is seated where; its ability to circumvent the "Hide From Search" feature will also be reviewed).

I have opened an internal discussion with key personnel at PokerStars to discuss whether your software would be permitted. I cannot predict when that discussion will conclude, but will post here the results when it has.

Until the management discussion has concluded, the software is not expressly prohibited nor has it been added to the "list of permitted applications". It may be used temporarily pending the outcome of the discussion.

Best Regards,

When you add the names to be buddy list are they case sensitive?

Some names I add from the table and they show up immediately on the list, some from the table do not.

On Absolute I have a list of buddies in the find player list. When I go to enter them I am told they are not in the db. I have records on all of them.

How long should the names stay on the list at a table after the buddy has departed?

Please advise
