Just wondering how many people here use Pokertracker... and if you use it.. how indepth are you, as well please add what limits you play, and on what sites... I play mainly UltimateBet and PokerStars soon to be joining all the fun going on at pokermountain! Anyways guys I am considering buying it and want to know if you truly think its worth the price.

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT. I have learned sooo much about game since I got it, and i'm only like 7500 hands in. I know that UBs Histories are very easy to put in. Definetly worth your $55. I'm not sure how it is putting in PStars histories, but it also autorates so that you know who the fish are and other categories, a definate buy

for PStars its horrible. You've got to automatically load all your histories and I'm finding it a huge pain.I'm pretty miffed that I'm not learning anything from the sheer amount of work I have to put into the histories- but I'm still learning from books and such, so the hard numbers arn't exactly helping me.I'm just trying to make my money back from last week's negraneau open, lol

:? Sry, but I find putting PStars HHs in to pokertracker easy. Just request the HH after a session, open tracker, open the Import hands window & click 'check POP3' button... Done.It takes the HH straight off the mail server, auto rates all players and, and you can upload the updated notes at the same time.I've only been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm loving it. Just a shame it can't handle Omaha or Stud as well.Just a thought... Are Pokermountain HHs compatible? I haven't put $ in there yet so I've not been able to use their HH facility.

Tracker is great. First for your own stats... As long as you always input all your hands, it keeps track of nearly everything for you. True win rate, BB/100, what you win with each hand type (but you need a lot of samples for this to mean a lot), the average percent of the pot taken out by rake per limit (I have .5/1 through 15/30 and it's kinda interesting), std deviation per hour or per 100 hands, the stats it can give you is endless.Like I found out I was overplaying suited connecters regardless of if the table was loose enough, or maybe out of position on a table that wasn't passive enough. All of my biggest loosing hands were suited aces or suited connectors (though I also have a lot of winning suited connectors, but that isn't the point). So I cut back on playing those a hell of a lot unless like 3 people had limped already, or 2 if it's like T9 suited. There's just all kinds of stats it can give you, but you need a lot of hands. And as smash said, party is now easiest with tracker because of party storing hands locally and tracker taking those. Supposedly UB is easy now with (I think?) an addon that grabs hands as they're played by watching the client window, but you'd have to read up on that, I only do tourneys at UB and don't track them, but I read about autograbber for UB.For other people's stats... You can use Playerview or GameTracker+ to get live stats in almost realtime on people at your table. Technically PokerOffice does this even better, but not really because it doesn't put it over the table itself right by their names, and thus multi-tabling with live stats is rough with PokerOffice. You can do this by default with Tracker itself, but you need to use Playerview or Gametracker+ if you want it to be on top of the table itself by people's names, plus there is tons more configurability then.Ooops, too long a post already. If you have any specific questions Jayson, just reply on here or PM me.

Where do you get this?

www.playerview.netI don't know about GameTracker.I've found that PokerTracker is great, although I've only got a few thousand hands on it so the stats aren't meaningful yet. But what I really love is using playerview, its great to have the stats about the other players at your table updated live every couple of mins so you can concentrate on either multi-tabling or just following every persons play a lot better.

He gave you the link for playerview, which is what I use also.I found the link for GT+ at pokertracker forum. It's at:http://www.pokerdominion.com/And like go to the announcements under GT+ and it gives a link to download version 1.3 it looks like. I think GT+ works with more sites than playerview.Also I think the web page I gave is also for the thing that lets you get UB hands in realtime for tracker, but I'm not 100 percent on that.
