pokertracker
 

I know we have had this disscusion before but want to start a new one about it. This might also be good for new forum members that were not around when we had it. How good is this thing really? what are some of the best features of it? Has it really improved your game?

I'am thinking about getting it but still not sure, I really have no clue how to use it really need to go through the help files. What is youre opinion on it?

Poker Tracker rules.

If you do a search of this forum, I'm sure you'll find all sorts of good threads.

In the mean time, here is the link you should use (mine) if you want to take it for a test drive:


You will notice the bottom of every page on this site has a PT banner link. I hardly make any money from this, but I'm a huge believer, so that's why it's there. Anyone who takes the time to use it properly will make the money they spent on it back in no time. I truly believe it will help your game.

hey
 

how do you do a search of the forum for keywords?

There is a forum search feature on the top toolbar.

question
 

I have a question how do you get hand histories imported without a POP email?

Depends on the site you play on. Most of the sites save HHs to your hand drive now, so you just point PT to the right folders, and viola!

PT also has detailed help files, so I suggest you look there first...

yea
 

yea I went to help files, Im not really a good computer guy so some of the stuff is a little confusing for me. I will try to find that PP file on my harddrive.

anyone can give me a hint what this party folder on my computer might be?

ok
 

nevermind I found some files on a torney I played awhile back.

last question
 

ok my last question with party poker I can just tell pokertracker to auto import and wont have to go looking for these HH right? God im such a computer illiterate guy.


Ok let me see if I got this right, so I just start timer and play and the hands go right to pokertracker right?

yep

Another question
 

Does this program have the ability to track my play over certain time frames. For example let's say I have been running Poker Tracker for the last six months and now I want to just see how I did in July.

Can I run the program and have it just do the July hands?

Yes you can. In the preferences tab, you can change to a specific date, since a specific date, or between specific dates.

Thanks, I'm sold.

yep
 

I will be getting mine sometime this month.

poker tracker guy
 

this guy is cool, he is letting me pay him through pokerstars which I think is very cool so I dont have to give my credit card info out.

Yeah, they have really good support.

You know, you should ask for two activation codes. They will give you two for a 2nd computer. Then you can sell the other code if you don't have any moral objections.

yea
 

yea,

I dont think I could do that, my name isnt kirk :) I really like the guy and really dont feel right ripping him off like that.

I'm with you. The software is awesome, and he deserves all the money he gets for it. Plus, I have it on my desktop and my laptop, so I need both codes.

I wonder if he's got a patch out for Full Tilt HHs yet. Doesn't look like it. I assume it will be coming soon.

Any idea if they'll start supporting Full Tilt? Just my personal favorite site to play on so I'd love it if they supported it.

soon
 

its supposed to be soon,I dont see a part to get your pokerstars hands on pokertracker. Does it not include pokerstars?

C'mon guys.

Thank you.

And yes Brian, of course Poker Stars is supported. Not sure how you could miss it. (Seriously)

weird
 

not letting me unzip files hmmmmm.

hmmm
 

I dont see it on the ring game section see it for tornies, probolly just missing it.



cant create output files.


ok nm.

really clueless
 

im really clueless on this poker tracker thing, I might ask some obvious questoins please stick with me guys.

I know PT is intimidating at first, but log off of TalkingPoker, and load up the PokerTracker forums. () I guarantee you will find all of your answers over there.

nope
 

I dont have pokerstars anywere on my pokertracker ring games is there a patch for it?

yea
 

I also have those forums open also.

I read it somewhere. Anyway for Stars:

First go to Stars itself. You have to go to "options" and select the "instant hand history" option.

Select "save hand histories" and pick the folder you want them to go to.

Now, on PT, go to Auto-import hand histories (lightning bolt icon) set it up to read from that file you picked them to be stored in and start playing.

ok
 

the lightning bolt only does something if you already have hand histories stored. I thought pokertracker got your HH while you played. Dont have any handhistories stored so cant use the lightning bolt.

ugh
 

this is way too much work almost thinking a pen and paper sound like a better idea.

Okay, do what I said, except play a few hands before3 the lightning bolt part.

K
 

its importing but no new hands are comming up but that might be because I used up all my free hands.


so let me see if I got this right, the poker site sends the HH to your hardrive the Poker tracker get them from that file and puts them on pokertracker?

yeah

Actually, I believe a pop up came and told me when this happened.

soooo
 

so when you set your timer thats is how often pokertracker checks that folder for new hands.....interesting.

aaaannnnnd
 

when you click the little "x" in the top right corner the program closes!!!!

Wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the love of God Brian...

Play with it. Figure it out. If you have problems, look in the PT (not TP, but PT) forums. If you can't find your answer, post a question there. If you still dont' get an answer, contact PT support - as has been stated, the guy is great.

I just don't see the sense in us recreating the poker tracker forums here for every little question you have, when they have all been answered there already (not to mention in the help files that you refuse to read for some reason).

heheh
 

thanks.


anyway I bought it today so we shall see, I think i will like it.

yep
 

I love this thing!!!!

This may help
 

I know the morality thing has already been discussed but I found the guide to be really useful. I think it's $20 regularly.

The guys that wrote this are extremely good guys, and do an incredible amount to help the community. They deserve to be compensated for their hard work. This is available at , and is worth every penny.
