Just wondering what kinds of software everyone is using? Is poker tracker the best, and are there any other programs that people use with or without poker tracker?
I don't think you can go wrong with Poker Tracker wader.
Definately worth the $ IMO. Finding the time or making the time to get all the information you can out of it is the real problem.
I use that preflop faceup cards thing that zero posted about a few days ago. It's awesome.
BBC is talking about Poker Ace HUD. I haven't tried Gametime, but I've generally heard that people say PA HUD is better. All I can say is Poker Ace is great, shows you mucked cards after the showdown and, what I like most, is that it displays the stats you have from Poker Tracker on all your opponents right on the table. Its great since without even watching any action you can tell what type of players are at your table. Well worth the money. Not sure if Gametime does the same thing, check out both.
Personally I like GT+ with Poker Tracker. However there is problems on Poker room and it's skins with it. Seating assignments don't line up and stuff. I ended up buying PAHUD and am getting used to it. Either way they are both great programs. GT+ is free and PAHUD is think is $10
Seeing mucked hands isnt cheating, everyone can see them in the hand history window. The program just makes it more conveniant. If you're still worried about it, Pokerstars lists both Gametime and PA HUD as acceptable programs.
I don't get the stats to line up with the seats in poker room. On the PT forum it said something about poker room isn't consistant with how it numbers the seats and that's the problem. PAHUD is working fine so it's all good. It has never worked right for me since I joined poker room in November.
I've gotta mention this. I used GT+ exclusively up till now because I tried the demo version of PAHUD and didn't like it as much. I gave PAHUD another shot and spent the $25 to buy it. After getting used to it, and customizing it to my liking, I can say I LIKEY!
Ok.. was just having a conversation with someone about this, i'll paste the transcript. (no, I don't get commission.)
-PAHUD more customizable
-auto-detects party tables
-you don't need to be seated to get the player stats so you can datamine a bunch of tables, get the table stats and decide to sit at one and you already have the profiles from hand #1
-makes table-jumping really easy... i'm able to look for fishies and move in and out really quickly
-also, the table stats are all listed in the pokerace window... so right now i have 10 tables datamining... if I see stats i like, I just click on the table in the window and it brings table up on my screen
-shows mucked cards right away without having to go to HH
plus you can get all the cool table layouts and customize your view
Hork, since you mentioned i can you datamine without sitting down at a table? I thought you could, but the hand histories dont get saved when I try it. Is there some setting I need to change or do I just have to sit down at the tables?
Yes, there's a setting in Pokertracker to import observed files. They get saved in your main party dir as .hhf files.
There might be a setting in Party as well, not sure if it's on by default.
Note: if you have downloaded the new beta version of party, they have taken observed hand histories out... so I suspect that the days of datamining are soon to be over. Get it in while you can!
I don't get the stats to line up with the seats in poker room. On the PT forum it said something about poker room isn't consistant with how it numbers the seats and that's the problem. PAHUD is working fine so it's all good. It has never worked right for me since I joined poker room in November.Â
I found that you only have to drag the stats to the right seats once and after that PT remembered where to put the stats the next time.

Yeah, I had to do this with Ultimate Bet too, and it works fine now.

Yes, and it's free.
PAHUD showss the mucked hands right away, but other than that all the stats and profiling are available in GT+.
At least I HAVE an avatar.
I was under the impression that additional information not naturally shown in the game was basically a cheat?
D
p.s. thanks for the Gametime+ heads up, ran it last night, works slick.
I LIKEY A LOT.
Why? Just curious as to what features it has that makes it that much better than GT+ (I haven't tried PAHUD). Added stats?
