I mentioned this ticket politely as a suggestion on the WINE mailing list since
the new release was asking for non-working programs to be tested, and the devs
reacted very silly telling me that they only fix bugs that interest them as
it's a volunteer project. Great attitude guys.

Unfortunately I'm not a WINE dev myself, but I'm sure that the fix is most
likely a simple easy one for a WINE dev. I made a replacement HUD for Linux
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pt3hud4lin/ but it's not very good. If someone
knows how to make X overlays then please email me genjix (mangled to stop SP4M)
riseup net. I know how to get stats from the SQL database. Still better would
be to actually get PT3 working under WINE since it's impossible to have current
table stats for yourself as PT3 stores the value internally, not in the
database.

Three solutions:
- Petition PT3 to make a Linux release (they publicly said they will not)
- Write native Linux HUD to go with the PT3 database. (doesn't have current
session stats for yourself)
- WINE devs write a simple fix as detailed earlier in this bug report (reply:
fix it yourself)

Come on WINE, this is a much used software and would be a boon for Linux. Many
poker pros boot into Virtualbox or Windows and play all day long. Help them
out.
