New Software Announcement - SIXTH SENSE

[AdamL]

I'd buy this program if it were cheaper. No complaints, that's just my price preferences right now.

Good work!

In the Players section of the window, a lot of the time, the number of hands I supposedly have on players doesn't match up with what I actually have. Like it might show I have 100 hands on two players and zero on the rest. But when I open up the table itself, PokerAce tells me I have more than 100 hands on those players and I have hands on the other players as well. Any reason that this might be?

This gets complicated. You can use PTAgg's new Player Lookup tool to see exactly where the differences are in the stats. Also, a bug was fixed in PTAgg that could cause a problem with not importing all hands. This is fixed now, but might affect you.

Also, if you aren't using PTAgg it is best to switch over to it.

Ben:

My setup utilizes a dedicated PostGRE SQL database server on a separate computer, and a workstation where I do all of my importing, playing, and "Sixth Sensing". The PTAgg tool asks for the location of Psql.exe on the workstation, however since only pgADMIN and the PostGRE SQL ODBC drivers are installed on the workstation I don't know what to do.

PS: My 2-computer method saves tons of time during import and searches since my databases contain 2 million + hands.

You can manually edit SS's configuration settings file to have PTAgg point to whatever connection string you want. We'll probably add something to the dialog to make that easier, but for now it should be easy enough to edit the .ini file.

Let me know if you have problems with that.

what does postgres mean?

what is my postgres password?

many thanks

If you upgraded your PokerTracker setup to use Postgres, then you've already installed it and selected a username & password. It sounds like you haven't done that yet. You might want to do that, see the PT site for details.

SS still works without it, but not as well, and you can't use PTAgg.

Didn't work for me. Setup my database, got the table list, but:

1-Memory use MORE THAN DOUBLES UP when SixtSense runs (and accesses the db)
2-The Refresh button and the Job menu item are now greyed out.
3-I get this error in the log:

7/16/2006 8:44:54 AM App NameQry troyfey
7/16/2006 8:44:54 AM Job Error Error Unexpected protocol character from backend (send_query);
Unexpected protocol character from backend (send_query)
7/16/2006 8:45:56 AM Job Error Unexpected protocol character from backend (send_query);

I'm using Microsoft provider for ODBC because the PostgreSQL provider doesn't work: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error."

I'm getting this problem too. It worked earlier for me but doesn't now. Setup is also via ODBC to a remote DB.

Is your PGOLEDB.DLL file (in sys32 directory) version 20?

Did you change any language settings on your computer? You said it was working before and then stopped? Any other changes to your system?

Ben,

Are there any plans to incorporate volunteer data sharing?

Hey, this is Dan

As far as poker software is concerned, most poker sites draw the line at hand history sharing. The fact that we do not do this is what keeps Sixth Sense legal and accepted, while PokerEdge and other software is not.

I hear there are other 3rd party sites that offer this though.

No changes. No other languages on system. SixthSense works fine when I "test" the connection and loads the tables fine, but the gives the error.
