Greetings all.
Like many of you, I used other software for my poker needs for a long time. I had heard about HM and finally felt I owed it to myself to give it a shot.
I was impressed with HM and took a big leap and converted. I believe HM is better. However, will the community be better? The old community was damn good and was no small part of the value of the product. HM can also have a strong community but it is up to us.
There is one certainty of poker software. If you build it, there will be guys like me who want to understand the database underneath it so they can write their own queries. It's like death and taxes.
The custom reports feature is great. I'm just more comfortable with sql and would rather do my research that way.
I don't see alot of HM table research out here, so I'm going to start my own project. The goal will be to understand every table and column in HM.
I intend to have a thread per table for ease of discussion. Each thread will start with "The Cygnus Project: [Tablename] Table" to make later searching easier.
Cheers,
Cygnus
