How long will the free beta period last and do you have a range for the future fees ?
The free beta period will last a few more weeks and then we'll roll out some new and exciting changes. However! We plan on always being able to offer a free version to our users. While we haven't detailed that out yet, rest assured that if you upload hands now, you won't be locked out of them in the future!
Not saying i'm right or anything, but what's to stop you from selling our profiles to others?...
...you can easily turn around and sell it for a good price to another reg and the victim wouldn't have a clue in the world that it actually happened.
This is a fair question and the answer is simple: this is not part of our model and never will be. Our goal is to offer a valuable and easy to use poker tool for individual poker players to keep track of their own results. We will always aim to fall in line with poker room Terms & Conditions, and any of the risks you mentioned above would put us out of line pretty quickly. Any attempts to make a quick buck on selling hand histories would be a complete disregard of our hopes for PokerData and we won't cross that line ever.
well after a first use, if i compare it to other free tracker, fpdb i can say that stats and graphs are bit better at pfdb, here you cant chose time period to show graph, overview graph can be more detailed and have options to show hide something like season stats have, season stats looks great, hands looks nice too and sharing is easy too, i might want to have an option to convert it and post it to forum, not just having a link to the hand...
Hud works good with rush too, which is major difference with fpdb, takes bit more space ai dodnt found how to adjust it, resize it etc, is there an option to tweak hud?
ill play more with it in a next few days so far looks nice if you dont have a paid tracker...
This is great feedback and this is exactly the type of stuff we want to hear from our users! We'll never be completely satisfied with the product unless you guys are, so all of the little things that you think are missing, could use work, need improvement, etc are the things we want to hear during this phase of the product.
There aren't any HUD tweaks YET, but we'll take your comments to heart and see how we can implement resizing options to make it more customizable.
I think adding support for more poker sites is essential. Why would you not support sites like Full Flush Poker, Bovada, Carbon, Black Chip Poker, America's Cardroom, and Intertops?
We agree that being able to offer the product to users, regardless of where they play, is essential. The only hurdle is being able to parse the numerous hand history formats to translate the data into valuable info for your profile and HUD. This takes the most time, however we are constantly working on adding new networks.
Note that Black Chip Poker and America's Cardroom are both Winning Poker Network rooms, which is one of the supported networks on PokerData (no HUD yet for this room, though).
Thanks a lot for your comments, everyone! There's also a voting system for new features on the Feedback form that you see along the right side of the website, so if there's something you'd like to see, let us know and we'll see how many of your fellow players want to see the same thing before deciding on where our next development focus takes us.
