Key Takeaways
- Partypoker announced yesterday sweeping changes to its online poker client that will render most major third party tools, including tracking software, HUDs and seating script, redundant.
- Three significant changes to the party client are expected to roll out in the coming weeks that will make it hard if not impossible for most third party tools to interface with partypoker.
- Hand histories will no longer be saved to the hard drive, individual waiting lists on tables have been removed and all tables will appear anonymous until a player is dealt in to his first real money hand.
Partypoker announced yesterday sweeping changes to its online poker client that will render most major third party tools, including tracking software, HUDs and seating script, redundant.
The decision follows an announcement from PokerStars yesterday that prohibits many more third party tools.
It is part of an industry trend in the last year to “level the playing field” by banning, or reduce the efficacy, of tools used by professional players.
