Default Memory Scanning with Pokerstars

Poker Tracker = Registered, Poker Ace HUD = unregistered but trial period.

Poker tracker is set to look in a hand history folder, which pokerstars dumps the hand histories into. This is how poker tracker adds hands to the database, as far as I know. The problem with this is that you can't just watch a table and gather information, because the hand histories aren't actually dropped in that folder. You have to be sitting in at the table, and you CAN'T be sitting down but out, watching.

Now in Poker HUD, I go Options -> Preferences -> Pokerstars, and now I see an option for "Use memory scanner - allows for observed hands". ??? So does this work? And if so, I assume that it can't possibly add these hands to the database, it must just use some sort of a temporary database???

Thanks if anyone knows how this works, it would be great to be able to get hands from observing tables.

I have never tried this on Stars. It is much easier at FT, which isone of the reasons that I switched over there.

When I went through the process i remember being told straight out that this was not doable on stars. Apparently times have changed.

Any type of aboserved hands set up wouldn't be very useful with the trial version of HUD as I believe it only works for one table at a time.

Unless Stars has changed their rules, they don't allow datamining. That's why you need to be sitting in at a table to get hands to write to your HDD. So I'm thinking that function doesn't work as thought. I've never seen it before so I'm not sure what it does.

Pokerace doesn't really datamine when it does that. All it does is show stats on players that you have from earlier in your database when you are observing a table.

What you are trying to do is datamine. PokerStars does not permit datamining.

there is software that will datamine PS observed tables, I forget what it's called. I demoed it and it worked really well - the downside is that you need to run it on a separate computer than your own PS client (PS looks for datamining software when it's running and your account can be suspended if it's found). I have lots of machines so it wasn't a problem for me.
