PokerStrategy.com SideKick Update: Session Stats, New Multi-Kicks and More
We have released a new version of the PokerStrategy.com SideKick application. Now you can have more fun than ever tracking your poker achievements with new Kick Counter support, a smoother software and session stats.
The PokerStrategy.com SideKick is our new software tool that runs in the background during your poker session. You can collect rewards known as Kicks when you're playing cash games or single and multi-table SnG tournaments.
This not only makes the online poker grind more fun but can also lead to you taking part in exclusive promotions and winning prizes. Find out more in our forum:
PokerStrategy.com SideKick: Overview New feature: Session statistics
The latest version of the PokerStrategy.com SideKick carries a number of updates, including an updated tab to include session statistics which tracks both your hands played and the length of a session. This is not only handy for tracking the Kicks you earn each session, but also for keeping a log of your game.You can now see how much volume you achieve and easily calculate your hands per hour as well as earning Kicks for noteworthy or good hands. As you can see in the screenshot of the updated software, the statistics appear in the top-right corner of the SideKick application.
Kick counters available for all Kicks
The odds of hitting a Royal Flush using both hole cards in Texas Hold 'em are 64,973-1. So if you hit a Royal Flush twice in just a few thousand hands, it's worth bragging about. Now thanks to the PokerStrategy.com SideKick, you can prove it!Late last year, we released an update for the PokerStrategy.com SideKick with our Kick Counter, which kept track of how many times you had earned each individual Kick. Initially, each Kick could only be earned once.
Previously, the Kick Counter applied only to "single event" Kicks, such as winning with a certain hand. This is now compatible with combined Kicks, i.e. Kicks that rely on others to be counted.
For example, the "Ultimate Winner" Kick is awarded when you achieve "The Regular" and "Premium Stuff Only" Kick. This and other combined Kicks are now tracked with the Kick Counter.
As shown in the image above, the number of times you earn each Kick will now be displayed beside the Kick when you have achieved it more than once.
Other performance improvements
The update of the PokerStrategy.com SideKick has also improved usability. The user interaction is now smoother and the application itself is less resource-intensive.
Win an iPad 2 with the PokerStrategy.com SideKick
Now that Everest Poker has been added to the list of rooms supported by the PokerStrategy.com SideKick, we're celebrating by raffling off three iPad 2s to all PokerStrategists playing at Everest Poker. You simply have to earn the "Conquering Everest" Kick before January 31 in order to be eligible for the raffle. PokerStrategy.com SideKick: Everest Poker iPad 2 raffle

Do the hands need to be saved in the standard dir still? Or can we change the hands folder ourselves yet?#2

Is there hope that SideKick will work in Pokerstars.ee and other non .com clients too?#3

@ #3 http://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=152245According to this I need to keep the default dir (for pokerstars at least).

@9 I never use the default dir, hands are saved to dropbox dir, so two PCs have the same HH and it is easier than to always exchange poker tracker databases.today I got royal flush for the third time and this time it was recorded by sidekick. is this promo is still working where 50 first people get 50$ for royal flush? and where I can find it, there is no search feature in pokerstrategy.
and I think no one seem to care about this sidekick software, I once wrote in the forum, no answers from staff:
