Max Value Software believes the innovation for both products and new cloud based tracking solutions should be better than ever via the sharing of technology and personnel. Perhaps now there is room for one of these software providers to fill the gap and add new competition. There are now at least 25 other third-party poker software providers including Poker Office, Magic Holdem, Holdem Indicator and Poker Copilot. Hold’em Manager came along soon after and provided PokerTracker some direct competition. While this may or may not turn out to be true, back when PokerTracker was first released they were the only game in town. This is natural since competition fuels the creative juices. Other players are concerned that the lack of competition might also stifle innovation. It is in our best interest to keep our pricing low and highly competitive, this helps us sell more licenses. "We have disclosed in our Merger FAQ that we do not anticipate any pricing changes for PT4 of HM2, our sales model is already proven to work very well due to the economies of scale that help us to keep the cost of our software as low as reasonably possible.

Both PT4 and HM2 have long advocated reviewing all free trial options before making a purchase, we see no reason why that should change, we encourage users to choose the best option for their own online poker workflow. Max Value Software Marketing Director Steven McLoughlin denies this is the case: “The merger is designed to benefit the users of both PokerTracker and Holdem Manager while keeping both brands competitive. Many poker players believe when the Coke and Pepsi of the poker software industry combine, it will eventually lead to an increase in prices due to a lack of direct competition except from smaller software providers. The merger has drawn a small amount of outrage from some members of the poker community. " The development efficiency that our new company brings will create opportunities to improve all aspects of our user experience.” "We realize that the most successful companies are those that drive the customer experience, that is why the merger is so exciting," he said in an email. Hold’em Manager’s Jim Varnon also believes the merger should in the long-run create a better overall software experience for online poker players. "We believe that the merger of PokerTracker and Hold’em Manager into one unified company allows us to better represent our customers in the market and to ultimately provide better software and tools for the average online poker player,” PokerTracker's Derek Charles told PokerNews on Thursday. The agreement is believed to have been consummated for purposes of combining synergies and reducing redundancies between the two tracking and statistic poker software providers. This week, PokerTracker and Hold’em Manager announced a business merger agreement and the formation of a new company, Max Value Software, LLC. If you fail to plan you plan to fail.The two biggest powerhouses in the third-party poker software industry have united forces. Please HM2 management release your plans and inform us about a solid date so that we know what we are up against. Would it be interesting to wait for Poker Tracker 4 to enter the market or should we still put our money on HM2? Now we are is the process of waiting I am afraid that HM2 will loose its competitive advantage and that Poker Tracker is catching up. Does this mean that HM2 release is postponed for another 10 weeks? I am afraid so. Now they keep us busy with some blogs about the developers and we can expect 9 more to come in the coming weeks. It is said that HM2 would be available in October (and I mean for the broader audience) but until today they have failed to keep that "promise". To keep us waiting they have posted some nice blogs to reveal some of the new functionality and to keep us interested. We have heard for at least 3 months that HM2 will be released soon to the public but still they have not finalized / communicated a solid date on which we can buy HM2. I am wondering about HM management strategy about the time lines of HM2.
