For what it's worth, I downloaded your chart, and I still bought both the Kill Phil book and the strategy cards. I bought the book based on the buzz in this forum and would not have known about it otherwise.

I bought the book as well and am considering the charts. Are the charts worthwhile in addition to the charts posted here?

So if you send me a PM requesting a copy, you will not be getting a response from me. Sorry.

I had the same fears, that's why I wrote it the way I did. I've been surprised by how many people and companies have contacted me offering to finance turning it into a bot. I "assumed" that most of us consider writing bots to be unethical.

Why did I go into networking and not programming?

Hmm, why arent those lookup charts in the book to begin with? I was considering buying the book, but it sounds rather incomplete/less usefull if there isnt a quick way to lookup stuff in it.

Just for the record, I too bought the book and ordered the cards as a direct result of seeing your chart.

Now that the official cards are available I'll mention that your chart, good as it is, is more complicated than it needs to be. A couple examples: Since group 1 and 2 hands are always played the same way, they could be combined in the chart. Medium &gt;4x CPR Raised by M, L, SB are identical and could have been combined.

I haven't received my strategy cards yet but assuming they use a more compact form, there is a reason to buy them.

Ha. I wrote something quite similar in javascript once. At the time, I thought it was because I was too lazy to learn how to make cross-platform GUIs in a real language. I'm pleased to learn that it was actually a sophisticated effort at bot-thwarting on my part [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I wrote a version in Excel/VBA which would be difficult to turn into a bot. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also a lot simpler than C++ for us applications guys.
