Thanks a lot guys.Completely worth it, although I'm having trouble using it for FCP. A lot of information is thrown at you, but it's all vital and very useful. There's a message board there that provides a lot of helpful information. Link to post Share on other sites

CoopDaddy1 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 If you *truly* are a serious online player, you have no choice but to get PokerTracker. It is incredibly powerful. You don't even really have to pay attention and it categorizes the players for you. Using the GameTime plugin, it overlays a graphic of what type of player each person is at your table. It keeps track of new players entering the game, folks that leave, etc.You basically know what players are semi-loose/agressive, loose/passive, etc. It categorized them for you after you've play w/ them for a while. If you're not using this tool, remember that other are - and it puts you at a distinct disadvantage.It is well worth the $55. Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Flavin 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have used Poker Tracker for about a year. You can set up Poker Tracker to tell you how stuck a person is for that session, how many hands they enter a pot for, and many others.When playing multiple tables, poker tracker can help give you some idea whether to make that tough call, or bluff. I usually play 10/20 limit and poker tracker can pay for itself in one hand.As an addition to poker tracker, make sure and get heads up ace. This program yanks the poker tracker numbers and overlays them on the table (that way you don't have to bring poker tracker up to see what the stats are.... Also you can see what hands they folded (because it will just show them) instead of combing through hand histories.Ray Link to post Share on other sites
Drum Infected 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'm just waiting for it to be compatible with the poker site I play at. Until then I sit on my stool and wait until the day comes, which I hope is soon. Link to post Share on other sites

gar 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 OK thanks.Is there any way to tell if your opponent is using Poker tracker? Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Flavin 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I don't know if there is anyway to detect poker tracker. I do know that it really doesn't make a difference. The other poker player could be sitting there with a pencil and paper tracking your play ... and would that be cheating????Its not like any site is going to ban this, it is just a statistical helper. It doesn't tell me what you are going to do -- or what the next card will be ...Its usefulness for me is when playing multiple tables, ... after a player raises and it is folded to me, for exeample, I can see if the raiser has put money in the last 5 consecutive hands, I can see whether he raises everytime, I can see the frequency of a reraise ... All the program does is allow me to play several tables at once, without having to keep track of the action on each table.My belief is that it is undetectable, because I imagine that it pulls the hand history and assembles the data from there.Ray Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzyD 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Forgive my ignorance of the subject, but where does PT show this info. on your screen?If I'm multi-tabling, the screen is full and obviously it would be tricky to be minimizing and maximizing PT all the time.I assume it shows up at the table you're playing?
