+Description: free poker database with HUD
+ FPDB is a statistics tool for online poker. It supports most sites
+ and several games. Most prominent feature is its heads-up display
+ (HUD) which shows statistical details for players in real time.
+ .
+ Due to the fact that most online poker clients are Windows-only,
+ you may need to install wine.
+ .
+ FPDB is under heavy development.
