After reading the threads, I feel as though I need to touch on the default Auto-rate rules issue. I know many of these are not applicable to Omaha as these rules were originally developed for Hold'em, but I wanted to include something with the first version so that people could get an idea of how they work. My other options were not to include a default rule set at all or worse, to include rules that I made up.
My plan is to include generally accepted default rule sets for both Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo in a future patch. If you feel you have a good rule set for either game type please export your rules and send them to me - omahafeedback@pokertracker.com
Now that I found this forum I hope you guys/gals can help me evolve PTO into a better product. I look forward to some good discussions. Thanks.
so plenty of intelligent discussion about this piece of software would be great. My initial feeling would be that auto-rate will be a very powerful tool in O8 games, perhaps less so in PLO high. Perhaps other elements need to be included in the stats section of PTO for omaha high - some stats that suggest an opponent's propensity for chasing draws etc (given that omaha high is often a case of made hand vs draw). There's obviously a point where autorate and GTW etc. must be overtaken by personal notes, in terms of info about opponents - perhaps a more strongly imbedded and accessible notes function would be nice, e.g. readily visible in the GTW.
