That's a chonky set o' features, thank you. Clever to put hand history and ICM in Gold… very tempting.

I think you meant 6+Hold'em. I'm particularly proud of my ICM Chop code. The math is gnarly. My first successful attempt took 6.5 minutes to run for 10 paid places. I eventually got that down to less than 0.6 seconds (nearly 10 million calculations).

Awesome new features. Can't wait to get this.

Steep premium for the ability to play 6+ Hold Em when the Pro version does everything else I want.

Can't wait for my Thursday night game. Looking forward to these new options....

Added Rabbit Hunting option (Pro/Gold edition).
Live level timer now displayed on tournament tables.
Added ability to reveal specific hole cards in non-showdown situations.

First night running version 7 with my club.

The guys were really excited about being able to run it twice, but they hate that you can toggle it but still have the option to back out when the moment of truth arrives. People feel burned when everyone gets to the end with 2X up and someone runs it once anyway.

It would be better if once you've chosen to RIT, you're locked into it for the hand, or to at least have that as an option on the admin end.

Please and thank you.

No one is entitled to run-in-twice and you should never rely on it being an unanimous agreement. Checking the box just means you're up for considering it if the time comes. The final confirmation mimics a live situation where the players decide at the moment and can insist on seeing their opponent's cards before agreeing to it.
