Now how does it do that? To my knowledge all ccleaner does is removes files cluttering up Windows, cookies, temp files, etc. Do you have any first hand knowledge or is this just something you've heard?
The thing about the trial version is that it doesn't allow you to import or use your existing hand history databases. That really doesn't allow a proper evaluation imo.
i think its the 3rd time you called me out on this so now you have to confirm it yourself for everyone. pt3 puts a file in your registry that tracks the time youve had it for. ccleaner identifies the file and clean it out, then pt3 ask ify you want to start the trial. im on my 3rd trial this way. and you can certainly import hand and i think an existing database, but you can always for sure just re import the hand.....
its something ive done cause ive never heard anyone say this....

No problem, but if that's true why not simpy delete the entry from the registry? I thought the trial versions couldn't import existing databases??? At least that's what the doc says.
I haven't yet but I am leaning toward tournament indicator. I found PT3 really slowed down my computer. Lots of info and gives you your pot odds and winning pct each hand.
have you ran housekeeing and re index/ rebuilt your cache......

you could certainly do that, but ccleaner is prob a better option for others right? plus itll help with other issue and makes a registry backup copy...
maybe you can't import a database but you can import the hands and it remakes a database? im not sure because i don't understand database yet (yet). but i definetly got a new harddrive redownloaded pt3, took my old hand histories and updated them to the trial (i'm only 90 percent sure lol not 100).
or maybe i pasted the files in the appropriate folder.....did it the manual way...???

HUH:-\
You are talking to a computer ass here. I can do some things but this you might as well have wrote in Polish. Wait the walking boss would be able to decipher that. Let's try Gibberish ... ya that's it.
I am going out and buying computers for dummies tomorrow . That's it lol
Comp if you are around Wednesday Morning I will be home...Evenings maybe Thursday.

no no.....it was a yes or no question, now that i know here:
at the top of poker tracker click...Database>>>housekeeping....then make sure cluster and rebuild cache is checked (reindex maybe for the new version)....
then click begin
it will take an hour or so....
but it will help alot, it just organizes the data and what not...
I have to decide in the next couple of days which unit I am going to run with. I had a guy in our building tell me to run a bot. lol. Like that's going to help and if I get caught I will be banished to the corn field. Besides that I am no cheat.
I like the indicator. it seems I am playing better with it than tracker.
Question is 50 bucks or 85 bucks. lolol
i think we decided poker tracker is free though, i don't so much advocate the piracy aspect but i do think only players who make good money off poker should have to pay....
Been debating lately on purchasing either PT3 or HEM. Not sure which one to go with. My current HUD was free, and it does the job, but looking for more, especially for tournament play. I see the HEM trail is only 2weeks whereas the PT3 trail period is significantly longer.
Both the same price I noticed, and I suspect they both do the same basic kind of stuff, but which one is more user friendly?
Having an issue with dowloaded both HEM and PT3...not sure why, I think it has something to do with postgle or something like that. I'm about as computer literate as a popcan, so if anyone can assist me, I would appreciate it.
What's the problem you're having AJ? The postgre SQL is a database program if I understand things correctly. I think it's a separate program that PT3 uses to organize the database that contains the hand histories. It did take a little while to download and install, but I have had no problems (so far).
Played some cash games this afternoon to test PT3 out and make sure I didn't have any glitches. It gave some pretty interesting information. Very overwhelming to comprehend while in play if you have never used a hud before. I was only playing .01/.02 so I didn't really care how I did and was paying more attention to what the hud was doing!

Smart way to start with it Bill. Smallest stakes while trying to get used to it.
So, PT3 is making me want to beat the shit out of my computer. Sometimes the HUD works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not like I haven't played thousands of games without it, but if you're trying to learn how to use it as a tool and then the fucking thing craps out... For some reason it has cash games set as a default. I've tried to reset this a number of times and it keeps going back to cash games as the default setting.
It worked fine the other day, then this. I KNOW I didn't change anything. I also know that's what people who are PC illiterate say when things fuck up, but I'm not PC illiterate and I didn't screw with anything. I change it to my tournament profile, click 'apply' and it reverts back to cash games default. Any suggestions?

Keep tounement hud as default: I had this issue to and it took me a bit to figure out, its just an easy setting change but it took me a bit to find. i forgot though but we can get it .....try this....
on you main pt3 window go....configure>>>configure hud.....then under the profile: drop down select the hud you want. once its select hit options.....then click make current hud default.....then save or apply and ok
if that doesn't work ill look into it more but i think thats it.....
as for the problem your having have you ran a housekeeping?
on the main window again: database>>>housekeeping......then make sure reindex and rebuild cache are checked and run it
it takes 45 mins or so but you have to do it every so often.....
Well, that's the annoying thing Darb. I've done exactly what you've said many times, which should be the absolute obvious answer. I go to configure HUD. For some stupid reason it keeps reverting back to 'cash-default'. I have no idea why as I certainly didn't select this. I almost never play cash games. I have the options of cash-default, tournament-default and a profile I believe I created called tournament-wildbill7145. I can click on any of those, click apply and either click ok or close and it will immediately go back to cash-default. Have no clue why this is happening.
It was working fine on Saturday night, and I swear I didn't change anything. Then Sunday....nothing. Can't make it go back to tournament-default.

k ill look when i go home and can play with poker tracker....i had this same problem though and i remember the obv solution wasn't workin......gimme a couple hours or something (just gettin off night shift).....
Sounds good. I just started poking around the PT3 forum and it appears I'm not the only one having this issue.
One other thing was that during a tournament, when I click on begin auto import.. it says 'loading hand history from' whatever the tourney id is that I'm playing and just stays that way. It never actually loads it.

That might be a symptom of what's going wrong.
Thanks Darb. Sucks to be doing night shifts.
k you need to do a housekeeping though, or have you done one. cause that will definitely cause that issue. pt3 is an intensive program so the house keeping will organize the files physically on the harddrive so the aren't in sporadic places (ok on the real level that might not be exactly true)......if you haven't by chance ran that, then its likely it can't keep up any more.....
K, did the housekeeping thing and set rebuild cache and reindex to on. Ran it, took a minute or two.
Posted something about this on the PT3 forum. Mod came back and said I have to click on the pt3 icon when I start a table and select my hud profile. I checked out the tutorial and it appears that if I click on 'Save layout' at that point it supposedly will keep the current hud profile for the future.

ok, that is what i was checking cause i couldn't find screen shots. so then thats it.....you click the icon and hit set current as default i believe......i can't get mine up right now.
but save layout is something different....when you move each hud around then you can save the layout so they pop up in the place where you had then.....

Yes, if you right click on the PT3 icon on the table, you can select from your profiles, and then you can select something like "use this profile as default for this type of game" - cant recall the exact wording.
All games should then use that profile. If you do this with multiple tables open already, you will have to reset each one likely.
You are 100% correct sir. I want a set current as default button, like almost every other stupid windows application has except for this one. It's bizarre, you set it to what you want... click on apply....click on ok.... Go back to check it and it's already switched back to cash default? That's idiotic and terribly user unfriendly.
Thanks guys. I'll give this a try later on tonight.

now you are talking about something different though
This thing is about to get uninstalled pretty fucking quick. I'm not getting any PT icon to click on while in the tourney. On top of that, I don't think I should have to distract myself while in a tourney configuring this thing and trying to troubleshoot. I did read while checking out HEM and PT3 that PT3 was not very user friendly and now I can see why.
The PT3 forum is riddled with threads about this exact issue and the mods on there continue to tell people to read the tutorials and FAQ and that's about it.
I'm feeling pissy and can see myself going off on a rant somewhere about something.

whoaaaa nelly. something i re iterate to everyone i preach a hud to (well i don't think its uber important) is that once its setup up its great, but configuring things can be awful and tricky. you have a small issue but troubleshooting it can surely drive one crazy, especially while playing hands in a tourney.
while you trouble shoot consider sitting at a micro cash game until you get the hud back up....later to fix the actual problem you are having join a tourney......
when you open pt3 you need to click auto import and it should start importing any new hand history, then click site import to bring in the hand histories from the table you are sitting at, then underneath that it will say start hud and make sure thats click when you are at a table.....usually you don't have to do that and its automatic but maybe you have to do it manually this time....
other than that you said you did housekeeping but it only took 2 minutes....did it say housekeeping complete cause thats kinda faster (mind you i 10 table alot so i have more hands).
other than that i would ask comp (or if your comfortable) to run ccleaner's registry cleaner, and maybe malware bytes, just to rule that out easily (plus its good for the computer and speed)....
if that doesn't work id reinstall a new trial, just don't re create a new database, instead point it to your old one, but save your old hand history's from the pt3 processed folder so if something messes up you can still add them to a new database....
im actually guessing though you just have to click start hud......and maybe try another housekeeping unless you know it said 'housekeeping complete' ...cause if you import an Omaha hand history for example it can freeze the hud until you housekeep it.....
i know that it was working before but i had little issues like that and since i got them sorted out ive hand no problems....bear with it, its worth it....
So, this just about had me wanting to ram a screwdriver into my ears. However, I think I may have finally gotten some decent advice from the mods on the PT3 forum.
I had no idea that it made a difference if you were playing home games on P*. I finally mentioned that on their forum last night and one of the mods said they run in a different format and you need to download the latest beta version 3.09.5.
While I haven't tried it yet... as I'm kind of scared to do so... I'm hoping this fixes the problems. It's also nice to know that I wasn't actually doing anything wrong!
Thanks for the help though Darb. You still gave me some good advice about maintenance on PT3 which I will follow.
