What poker software would you like to have?

There's a lot of poker software out there: trackers, leakfinders, HUDs, in-game helper tools, Odds/Equity/EV calculators, training software etc. I myself missed a tool for analyzing the whole flop distribution to better solve preflop spots by accurately estimating all flop situations you will encounter. Being a long time programmer I took on the task and started developing last year. That tool is now publicly available here: Flop Inspector

There is a lot of good poker software out there, but definitely room for improvement and additions. I was hoping some of the many excellent posters here at RIO could help start a discussion about what software would be most useful for improving their games, be it add-ons to existing software or completely new tools. I might participate in realizing ideas that I find particularly interesting and/or commercially viable. If you have an idea that you'd like to discuss privately, feel free to send me a PM. I have built an existing framework for Holdem calculations, and that's where I have my expertise. While my main focus is NLH, I would like to discuss software for any poker type in this thread.


Two ideas I've been thinking of:

1) Advanced Reports/luck-adjusted leakfinder (for HEM/PT)

Drill down reports with possibilities for dividing stat lines in position, vs position, preflop actions, postflop actions, ranges(with customizable groups), flop types, hand strengths, turn/river runouts. All this without having to click back and forth in dozens of windows (I'm looking at you, PT4!). Have as many windows open as you like, compare a spot to another player or group of players. Compare calling/raising/folding. Use luck analysis to distinguish leaks from bad luck: how often you've been dealt hands preflop, how well you've flopped, turned and rivered.

Example usage: Your EP winrate seems a bit low. You find that you lose more than other good players when facing a 3B OOP. By analyzing hand types and flop luck you find that you flopped a set with a pocket pair only 9.43% of the time and that had an overall impact of your EP winrate of 3bb/100. You also find that you called too many offsuit hands to smaller 3bets.

2) NLH EV calculator

Intuitive and easy way to calculate EV. Handle ranges/hand types better than existing software(CREV). Goal of better visualization and usability with less hours spent. (I was actually starting on developing something like this when I realized I needed to analyze the flop distribution and there was nothing out there. I have a few notes and ideas about this, but the details are too long and secret to get into here)
