View Full Version : Poker Software I Wrote

I play poker around 20 hours a week. My little brother plays poker as a full time endeavor. We both take it seriously and know that on average good tournament players make about 20% on their investment per year.

I have a program for the iPhone that tracks my progress and how much money I buy in for and cash out for, the games I play, the locations and finally amount of time spent so I can figure my per hour return on investment.

I wrote a software package in TSB to do the same for players without iphones, many of which keep the data currently in a notepad they keep in their pocket. I have given it out for free while testing it in my market but will attach a decent price tag once testing is done and especially when I have Reports and Charts working.

An example of taking what used to be a hobby (now a profitable venture) and building software around it.

I would bet there are a lot of hobbies and sports that would benefit from software like this. Sports stats, etc.

Awesome idea Dominic. People can learn a lot from Dominic on here. He does have experience selling software. :)

Dominic,

Just read your poker app post, and as you already know, that sounds like you have a gem. Be sure to let us know when you make it available, I think I have a few friends that might need that!! Once again, congratulations and keep plugging away!!

Another Michigander!

Will let you know when I get a copy ready to be distributed. I probably wont release it until charts and reports are documented so I can implement that feature.

Dominic,

Hi. Just found your post. Any chance you would be willing to do a screen capture video of your building the software? That's be a great instructional aid.

Best,
Evan

Great idea, if not the poker software maybe a different package I have completed. The Poker one is not as robust as 2 other ones I have done... let me catch up on some tasks here and I will start making plans.
