In rapid response to the announcement by TableNinja that they are moving to a subscription pricing model for their latest release, 2+2 posters have started a thread consolidating all the free alternatives.
A variety of AutoHotkey (AHK) scripts and hobbyist apps are suggested that provide much of the functionality players need.
Players ire appears to be focused in two directions; the principle of a subscription pricing model and the value for money of the new Table Ninja 2 (TN2) product. The full version of TN2 now costs $20 per month, or $150 a year. The standard version is $10 per month
Holdem Manager (HEM) rep Jim Varnon has promised an update shortly: “We released a new TableNinja II build yesterday. In a few minutes I will reply with (i) a recap of what was in that release; (ii) information about the next planned release; and (iii) and update on the next TNFT release.”
