OpVP Beta Testers Wanted

#1

To all my customers and friends:

Optimum Video Poker (OpVP) 4.0 is ready for beta testing. It has several bug fixes and some significant improvements over previous versions. Here are a few of those:

  • Added a Player Preference to use black and white chart highlights for color blind users
  • Redesigned the Strategy Generator, speeding it up significantly
  • Improved the strategy generation, evaluation and checking for Deuces Wild games
  • Added a function to adjust a generated chart to create a better basic strategy
  • Fixed several problems with deuce-interference Straight Flush draws in DW
  • Fixed several problems with inserting new DW chart entries, especially RF and low SF types
  • Improved optional penalty selection and application
  • Improved entry of “one card of certain rank” in Strategy Editor’s New Entry
  • Fixed error indication when the second best possible hold is not in the chart
  • Fixed Optimize Chart to correctly adjust the DHF and Mean EV when combining entries
  • Fixed error in calculation of penalty points when checking player’s hold
  • Fixed a bug in selecting a different strategy for a Deuces Wild game
  • Fixed a bug in counting hands played perfectly in the Player History
  • Expanded the User Manual, now 70 pages, includes more on creating strategies

To qualify, you must be a user of any previous version of OpVP or any other video poker analysis program.

If you are interested in testing this new version pre-release, send me an email telling me:

  • Something that will convince me that you are serious about testing this new version.
  • What video poker program(s) you currently use or have used.
  • What operating system you are running, which must be one of the following:
    Any Windows system 2000 or later, including Windows 10 (but not Windows ME), or
    Any Macintosh running OS X 10.4 or later, including Sierra (but not Mountain Lion 10.8)
  • Your preferred email address (gmail will not work).

A beta test version for your OS will be sent as an email attachment. To qualify for a free upgrade to OpVP 4.0 when it’s released, you must send a meaningful review within two weeks of receiving the test version.

I will select the best ten replies to receive the test version. I already have a couple Windows 10 users. I also need testers on older Windows systems and various Mac systems.

Hoping to hear from you soon,
Dan

HI Dan,

I’ve been playing VP for about 20 years, maybe longer, I’ve lost track. I’ve used Bob Dancer’s program as well as being a member of VideoPoker.com. I use their site to brush up before each trip to Vegas (3 times a year).

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. I’d love the opportunity to test your new program.

Thanks,

Dr.Paul Zemella

I would be happy to try

I could not load your previous version for some reason but happy to try again.
