Hi Corey.
The Main Window looks great! (compared to the main window in previous versions).
I had a few ideas in mind before I stopped working in poker and I'll run them by you.
Towards the end of my poker career I was going to suggest allowing a way for players to leave a deposit on tournaments. While at Playground Poker Club we had several tournaments where the buy-in was over $3000 and $5000. We allowed people to make payments on the tournament and kept a spreadsheet for this. I was hoping, one day, TD would be able to do this as well. At the club we had one computer running our tournaments and always had a laptop at the tourney desk with TD running just in case. If TD would allow players to leave deposits on a tournament we could keep the laptop running the major tourney and enter in amounts. With the current version there is kind of a workaround. I am able to use a rebuy or an add-on to achieve this. I override the rebuy or add-on amount to reflect a theoretical payment and the amount paid shows up on the Players Tab. Then I came across an issue with what I tried to do. The receipts don't print any rebuy or add-on information purchased at the time of buy-in. So I was unable to print the amount paid to date. If possible, a menu when right-clicking that would print player information (table/seat, buy-in, rebuy, add-on info). We had tournaments where players could purchase an initial add-on or rebuy before the start of the tournament and being able to sell this at the tournament counter would offer a bit more control over the number of add-ons/rebuys purchased. Or dealers would also handle less money at the table (the player could give the receipt and give the chips for add-ons/rebuys if it is shown on the receipt).
I'll be back when I explore the beta version a bit deeper!
