==== Description: ====
Summary: This program is poker tracking software, a class of utilities that
will
record and track every little detail of your poker sessions. Want to know
how
many times player Y has raised before the flop at your current stakes? This
program will tell you - allowing you to make much more accurate reads (poker
slang for "[educated] guessing your opponents hand") and as a result better
decisions. Of course in poker the end result in $ is never guaranteed, but
this
software will make it much easier for you.
The software currently supports importing and processing hand history files
for:
- Holdem, Omaha Hi/Hi-Lo, Stud Hi/Hi-Lo and Razz plus mixed games like HORSE
- No Limit, Pot Limit, Fixed Limit and Full Tilt's CapNL and CapPL
- Any stakes at Cash games, Sit and Gos and Multi Table Tourneys
- All the above from PokerStars, all the above except SnG/Tourney for Full
Tilt

Programming Language: Python. Probably change to Perl6 sooner or later

Maturity: Importer: alpha to beta. Rest: alpha to pre-alpha

What's special: I've searched and I'm quite sure this is the only free/libre
poker tracking software. Additionally I think (but haven't searched much)
that
this is the only modern software for Omaha, Stud and Razz (there are ancient
incredibly slow versions of a proprietary software for Omaha and Stud though)

==== Other Comments: ====
One thing I should mention wrt to no unfree dependencies. My program doesn't
and never will have any unfree dependencies. However, to use this you will
obviously have to play online poker - and the clients for that are all unfree
and Windows only as far as I know. Nevertheless, without this project you
have:
1. Unfree poker client
2. Unfree poker tracker which doesn't even work in wine (tried HM and PT3)
3. Unfree OS

With this project:
1. Unfree poker client (which does work fine in wine)
2. Free/libre poker traker
3. Any OS that has python and mysql or postgresql.

Thanks for getting this far :)
If I missed anything please let me know, I hope the poker client thing isn't
a deal breaker but there's not much I can do about that.
