So we all know that PokerXFactor is great, and it offers some wonderful functionality, but wow is it expensive. $150 sign up fee (??), then a monthly $25 subscription.. To be fair, the fees for this go to the experts running the site, and is probably a fair price to pay for their advice (Still not sure about the sign up fee though!).
I wanted a lightweight replayer so I could share hands with friends quickly. PokerHand allows you to enter your hands, but does little formatting and, in all honesty, isn't very nice to look at and doesn't animate.
Now I'm not saying that my replayer is beautiful, but it does at least animate, and it's free. BUT:
- This is an early version, so it might not work!
- The graphics are mediocre. If someone wants to make them nicer, please contact me for details.
- It only works on PokerStars hand histories - I'm planning on adding more.
- It only processes a single hand at once - again, I'm planning on allowing unlimited numbers.
- It is written in JavaScript, so you'll have to have JS enabled in your browser.
And that's about it. So go nuts, and animate your hands. If you've got a great hand to show off, leave a comment on this blog entry. If you want to tell me it's rubbish, leave a comment. If you want to order your shopping, visit Tesco. Otherwise leave a comment. Thanks!
Oh, and if you break it - don't worry. I would appreciate it if you could send me the hand history that broke it, and describe how it wasn't working properly. Cheers.
