I have PokerOffice but have never used Pokertracker. Has anyone used both? Are they different at all? If so, how? Which do you think is better? Why? I personally am ok with Pokeroffice. I'm just curious.
PokerOffice of course, because when You're a TAG You become a wizard.

abba: I don't know; but I get NL hands from Party in there, automatically, just like LHE... still having trouble? I can look around to see if I had to do something...My Question:My 1st DB got to big and crashes even after being packed so, I repaired it and started a new one. So my 2/4 is split.Ideally, I'd get rid of other players history from .5/1 prior to October, and other stuff to reduce it and keep all my hands together for easier analysis.How does one go about purging hands (I did that under the Utilities tab) but my DB was still same size..maybe I need to pack it again?..althogh I think I did) or keeping the db small. Or do you open different databases for different game types and just do it that way.Down side there is when you start to datmine at next level, your own current level stat will be split to the new database (not a big deal, since by then you should feel comfortable with your game)..Anyway..no one reads these!So..I should just go to the PT.com forum huh?ok

I think the problem is that i have a pirated version. Ive been meaning to get around to buying a legit copy. One of these days ill do it.Kind of a piss off. I lost all my NL hand histories. Plus i can't load hands from obscure sites that the old version of PT doesnt recognize, where im clearing bonuses.

Has anyone found pokertracker to be very useful for tournament play?What statistics would be the best to focus on?
Same question re SNGs if anyone knows.
For tournament play the statistics I focus on are:Pre-flop - my opponents V$P (or whatever the acronym is lol), their attempted steals and their defense of stealsFlop - the continuation bet statistics and check raise frequency.I use PokerAce HUD, since I think it supports more tournament sites than GameTime+. It is extremely flexible.The only thing I dont like about it is that it wont filter based on position in that hand, which, once you have a robust data base, is more meaningful than blends of all positions.

I'm not sure what I did.... My Gametime stats work but for some reason when I go into ring stats it's not showing any updated information... What did I mess up? Also I have 2 databases and the information is popping up at either...OOPS...

whats the best/cheapest way to aquire pokertracker?
i think the best way is to sign up for PSO:www.pokersourceonline.comdo one promotion, and you can get PokerTracker.hint: you can do a promotion directly for PT, or you can just do it for the points. since you get 6000-9000 points per promotion and PT costs only 5000 points, you should get the points, then just buy PT with them.feel free to use my referral: goodmanpoker and/or PM me if you've got questions. also sign up on the PSO forum - it is very useful.good luck,daniel

6 Max Party.so, you check the box.But what if you play a mix?
I think you're probably screwed if you play a mix. This and the fact that the full-ring tables have become pretty rockish is why I've decided to focus solely on six-max for a while.You might be able to check the PT forums or email support though to see if there's more info on this.

2 things:1) do you have to set up seperate databases for Limit/nl games? If so, how do you do that?2) As far as statistics for NL. Do they differ from limit? Anyone have any guidelines as to what means what?

you don't need separate databasesNL stats are calculated the same way, but stats of winning NL players are a lot different than stats of winning limit players. look at the stickies in the various 2+2 NL forums for more detail.

I'm looking now, and I can't find anything. I'm not really all that familiar w/ 2+2. I think i've only made like 100 posts on there

Is the distinction between gametime+ and pokerace HUD that gametime only offers the entire table's combined stats, while pokerace offers an individual player's stats? If not could someone explain the difference between the two. Thanks in advance.

I am a new pokertracker user but I use it for everything from limt to NL, to MTT's (and rebuys), to Sngs. IT allows you to specifically enter even 1 table 2 table up to 5 table sngs seperately so you can sort them out if you want and see your profitablity in each type. As well As MTT's too. What I find most useful with it for tourament poker is ROI(return on investment) lets you know where you are and how well your doing in your tourament play. It keeps track of hands and other stats but i don't find a lot of that very useful becuase of the different table condidtions. ie in sngs you end up short handed so you stats are not the same 10handed as they should be heads up. Some of the place i have read suggest filtering out all the differnt players per hand i havn't take the time to do that and right now don't see much vaule added to doing it.

Anyone know how I auto-import my UB hands into Pokertracker? Do I have to email UB every time I play a session to get the hand history?
There's an addon from the PT site, pretty sure. Ultimate Hand Grabber or something like that.
