Pokertracker v3 beta!!!

I'm not really too worried about the HUD right now because I can still just use the old one with PT2. I'm just kind of annoyed they haven't really been fixing any bugs in the tournament part of it and every time someone in the forums brings one up they just say "tournaments are kinda buggy now we'll work on it later". I can't even filter anything for tournaments right now, I really hope they fix it soon.

Tournament support is secondary at PT since most of the users are ring players; most of the tourney features will be added last-minute, I think.

Oh that's cool, look forward to that.

Beta numero 8 is now out, and of course that includes the hud.

I'm not sure how developed the hud is though, only about to try it myself.

Man you're lazy, I provided the link and all :/

When will the commercial version of PokerTracker be on sale?
PokerTracker 3 is tentatively scheduled for release by the end of April 2008.

Hud is looking really nice. It's still 'basic', but even at this stage it's very customizable and works very fast.

There are still some issues with it, ie:

Notable things currently missing from the Hud:

• 1. Popup stats.
  2. Import/Export functionality.
  3. Color ranges.
  4. Filters.
  5. Table list, active player lists/information in the tracker.
  6. Stats on the Replayer.
  7. Polish (transparency, translucency, some formatting options, etc.)

...but I'd be using this immediately if it were more stable (already one crash), and had the popup stats.

Nice, I am anxious to learn how to use HUD. Is it just me, or do they need to move the config button to the SIDE of the pot $ display?

Silly me - briefly thought you meant like the language

Understandable really. Polish immigrants are certainly a hot topic of conversation in the UK at the moment!

Sir Chuck, to install beta 8 do you have to uninstall beta 7 first or does it upgrade beta7, and do you have to download the version with postgre every time, or once you have postgre you only download the smaller file.
Be patient with me I've finally decided to get Poker Tracker, and it is all new to me, treat me like you would a virgin.

Loved the 14 days comment Ian.

Wow, Chuck has turned into a sLAG










...... Judging by his stats that is

I did not have to do anything other than just download the smaller PT3b8 version without postgres.

It upgraded fairly flawlessly after I rebooted my system. Zorba, there may be an issue with Vista. Reading through the PT forums I noticed a spot where others with Vista were referred to a separate download specifically tuned for Vista. I went no further as I don't have Vista, but suggest you seek out that answer there.

Remembering that this is a beta version, there are a few issues with the HUD. Many are probably related to me not being familiar with PT2 and its HUD.
Sizing issues with windows and the placement of the info boxes was my first concern. There is a very tiny box with the PT logo at the top of the window and on PS it was right above the dealer chip rack. Clicking opens an option box with some configurable items. After sizing the window and moving the HUD info to where I wanted them to be, I saved that layout and the problem seems to have been solved.

I have not figured out how to make the info boxes more transparent.

Of concern to me is something that I think may turn out to be problematic for PT. At showdown, when you might decide to not show your cards because you cant beat a hand, you muck your losing cards so the table won't see. PT3 will show all hands that go to showdown. I am tossing this over in my mind and it still seems to be borderline unethical. I will entertain all arguments.

Other than that this beta is getting close to final release, and looks wonderful. Happy beta tester here.

You can actually look in the hand history to find out anybody's mucked cards. PAHUD and presumably PT3HUD just shows the cards to you for convenience, rather than opening up the HH window.

True. Full Tilt puts them in the graphical hand history. PS and Ultimatebet bury them in the text.

I about freaked when I installed v8 beta and the HUD popped up right in the middle of my cash game. Figured out that the statistics are set to the original table layout - so if you select a seat, you have to move everything around to match people's positions. (that's a pain in the butt - even though it is just a click and drag action).

The mucked cards display also doesn't follow the moved seating.

I also donked off double my buy-in on the table while I was trying to think about all this...

One of these days, I might figure out how to read the darn things. In the meantime, I just turned them off.

I am using the BETA 8 version now and I love the new HUD, it's great and man all the stats right there are fantastic to have at your disposal.

My only problem is that I think my database got f'd up, and i need to rebuild it, does anyone know how?

PokerTracker • View topic - Hand History Problem
I posted a problem in their forum, you can take a look ^^^
Did any of you have this same problem, and can any of you help? I am waiting for my second reply, which might be hard to get.

I downloaded it and everything but ive never used it before, its very confusing to me, can someone help me figure it all out?

Wow, I will definitely have to buy the release. Very nice beta 8 version. Can't wait until they add more to the HUD -- very sleek.

Nvm, I figured everything out. Now I just have to look at my small sample size of hands played and see how I can improve.

I'm not sure I really like the black box that all the stats are in, but I can get used to that I guess I'm not sure what stats to put on the table though really. I'm looking forward to when people can put their layouts in the repository on the PT3 website for everyone to use, that will be awesome I think.

its pretty confuse for me lol im kind new
