New Project
I think I'm going to elance up a poker project I've had kicking around in my noggin for a couple years now. It's the sort of thing I would have killed for as an online poker player, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be interested in it. It's also the sort of project that I think lends itself well to outsourcing, as it's not too complex (though probably time consuming) and easy to split up and verify if all of the pieces are working independently.
But I need your help. What I need is hand histories from the major sites, and you guys still play poker, right? If you'd be so kind as to send me a small sample (to matt@ for this domain, or just click the link top left) from any of the various sites you play at, I would really appreciate it. I'm only interested in Hold'em and Omaha hands for now. You can send me a whole file from a session, or just cut and paste a few individual hands. Either way is great by me.
In return for doing so, other than my undying gratitude, you'll be among the first to get a sneak peak at the new site when it's ready. And if it makes me a billionaire and I write my memoirs, I'll thank you in the acknowledgements. (It likely won't even make me a thousandaire, so don't hold your breath, but consider it a freeroll.)
Mostly, though, you'll get to use a cool new app for poker players for free and before the general public. In fact if I ever decide to charge for it, you'll get at least a few months of free service, and maybe a lifetime if you're extra helpful.
