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

[Poker Pro]

We have not looked into making the Smart Buddy window dockable but that does seem like a cool feature we should add to our list.

is there any way to verify that there's nothing malicious in this application?

does anyone with a high post count know these guys and vouch for them?

Hey,

Could you e-mail Pokerstars and then paste the correspondence with them explicitly allowing your program?

Still waiting...

You are telling me they haven't got back to you in what, two weeks now?

It seems obvious that OP wants to avoid this topic.

Poker Pro,

With all due respect, you haven't answered TheProdigy's question. I believe Poker Stars has a very strict rule on what is allowed and what is not when using their site. It appears TheProdigy is asking for something concrete from Stars saying, "Smart Buddy is OK for Poker Stars". Not trying to bust your chops, but I'd like to know also. Please advise.

Orange, Cudjoebill,

Poker stars has specific rules for products it allows and does not allow.

1. Any program that shares hole card data with other players or programs is colluding, and is prohibited.

2. Any program that works off of a central database of player profiles is prohibited.

3. Any program that plays without human intervention (a "bot") or reduces the requirement of a human playing. For instance, an "auto-folder" is prohibited.

4. Any program that collects hand histories and player information from hands in which you are not a participant is prohibited.

Our products do not contain any of the prohibited items.

Sixth Sense is doing basically the same (and more) as Smart Buddy and falls in the same categories as it.

They are banned from Poker Stars. So in my humble opinion Smart Buddy would has to be banned as well or Sixth Sense has to be unbanned.

Sixth Sense was on their prohibited list when we didn't even support PokerStars, so it was really in error. We designed the SS PokerStars support to be in compliance with their TOS, see here for more details:

Yes,

I will pay for this program and would love to use it. This, or sixthsense, but since it is scanning my own tables using my own PT databases, I wouldn't expect a monthly fee? I remember PTS(Poker Table Scan) was just like this and cost a one time fee as it wasn't like they were keeping things on their server and running up bandwith.

But once again, I would like to see some proof, and you have handled it very unprofessionally as it was easy to get an e-mail from Pokerstars. Also, you simply ignored the fact until you couldn't anymore, which is also unprofessional. That said, if sixthsense releases something and it is one time fee for Stars only, then I will most definitely be using it as he has handled most situations with much more professionalism.

We will add it to the feature list. I don’t see any issues in implementing a comma delimited import! We will take a look and see whether to implement the table view in the Smart Buddy interface or the Table Shark interface.

Any idea how long this will take to implement? What's Table Shark?
