pokertracker databases

I really only play on stars and you cant datamine stars, it is against their rules, asked pokerace guy about that.

if you start a new database and keep both open then where do the hands go? Seems that they would go to both since they are both open, I wont be playing for a couple days so I cant test it out. I will next week though.

Observed hands go to the DB you tell them to go to in the Auto-Import Window.

Hands you play go to the DB you tell them to go to in the Auto-Import Window.

You don't even have to have both DBs open.

thanks...duh. BTW have you had problems with pokerace hud numbers not updating while you are playing? Mine are not updating unless I close pokerace hud and reopen it, I have been asking pokerace guy about this but seems like it might just be my problem.

I read about that same problem on the PAHud forum, and I have it too. His responses seems to be in a bit of denail, but yes, same problem here.

Stars tourneys have a bug in pokerace. anytime it fucks up you gotta close it and restart it. So gay.

One more tip for you while we're on the topic:

Do yourself a favor and convert your DB(s) to PostgreSQL ASAP. This will save you a lot of time later. If you don't know what I'm talking about, start here:


There is a link in that thread to the step by step instructions.

In summary: It's a good thing. It allows much bigger (and more efficient?) databases. So just do it now, because it will be much faster than when you have a zillions hands in your db.

i tried this but got a error message during installation, beats me.

gonna try again.

I tried to do it with observed hands and getting a error message. I will wait till I have more of my own hands before attempting it again.
