Pokertracker v3 beta!!!

ChuckTs · May 13, 2008

I think the 3-bet/4-bet stats themselves are enough to make the price worthwhile. And this is coming from a full-ring player.

This is probably true, I've seen people calling 3-bets with the strangest hands (guy showed down 57s today, I wasn't in the hand) and just knowing how often a particular opponent 3-bets light will help a ton. Of course that stuff will only work against opponents with a significant sample size (100 is fine for VP$IP and PFR stuff, but you figure maybe only 2-3 3 or 4-bets in that period and the sample isn't really significant) and most of those opponents will now also have those stats on me lol. But that's how it works, if I can use the data better than my opponents, it helps, and if I can't, not getting it doesn't help that anyway. So what's the release date on this thing? May 15th I heard? That's in like 2 days.

WVHillbilly · May 13, 2008

Yeah they say it'll be released on the 15th and that there will be a new as yet unreleased feature added to the initial full release.

I understand what you're saying Zach, but the lack of updates to PT2 once PT3 is out will basically force you to upgrade. Stars will change their HHs slightly and break it and you'll have to pay for PT3 anyway.

If that's true, then really there's no choice but to make the move.

Personally, I never got PokerAce and used GameTime+ which was much worse (sloooooow with fewer options). Now I'm using PT3 exclusively, even though the HUD disappears on occasion. I'm only hitting four tables at a time so I can rely on memory when the stats go bye-bye.

I'll buy PT3 as soon as it goes gold. I love it.

I would be surprised if they can make the release date. Software is *always* delayed a month or two.

Ok, this may be a real dumb question, but if I now download this beta version, before the real thing becomes available, what's to stop me keeping the beta programme installed, and therefore saving me the cost of buying the thing? What I'm saying is that Will the beta version(free) continue to work indefinatly?

ChuckTs · May 13, 2008

No. It stops working when the official release is put out.

thanks ChuckTs, knew you'd know the answer, although that's not the answer i really wanted to hear!

Munchrs · May 14, 2008

i cant seem to find out how to pre order and get my discount for having brought PT2 within the last year.

WVHillbilly · May 14, 2008

Check your account page over there. If it shows your order the discount will show when you go to check out. If the order isn't shown contact support and they'll get it in the system.

Just downloaded PT3 Beta and got it up and running. I just have a small question though. How do you get your stats to show at the right seat if you have a preferred seat?

cparker · May 14, 2008

Also, poker tracker 3 isn't showing any of my tournament won $. Is there a way to get it to show that?

I have no problem with this and have preferred seating everywhere.
I did run into a situation where I went back to watch a tourney table where I had been sitting, and the stats were off, but then the players had moved as I was no longer at the table, had closed that table, and returned.

Other than that you would want to check the PT forums for help.

Poker tracker has never recorded tournament winnings. You either have to enter them in yourself, or just leave them be.

Not quite precise.

There is an auto-fill button on the tourney entry page, it is only, at this point, working for single table SnG's. I should add that it calculates your winnings based on buy-in. It does not rely on any outside input, like the tourney summaries.

Also, FT has been generating Tourney Summaries which PT3 does find and incorporate. However, on occasion they may not show up until tomorrow. These summaries are the only way to know how many bounties you collected in KO tourneys, unless you are fastidious and keep track by pencil.

Note that if you leave a tourney because you bust out, you will only receive the results for that tourney up to the point where you left that tourney.

royalburrito24 · May 14, 2008

Thanks DJ. And I should not have said "never" because I have only had PT3 Beta, and from my experience, it did not record winnings.

zachvac · May 14, 2008

So about the HUD: Currently (PAHUD with PT2) you can configure it such that the stats will go anywhere. The PT3 options always put them in the same spot, leaving the icon unblocked (which I have off anyway, could care less about that). Any idea on in the real PT3 we will be able to customize location like that? Also when I try to multi-table, the tables at the smallest size, the stats overlap. Any idea on if it'll be like before in the real version?

WVHillbilly · May 14, 2008

You can move them around now. Just hold your right mouse button and drag. When you get them where you want just save the settings.

You beat me to it lol

ah ok, but can you split them up and move different stats to different parts as in PAHUD? I just can't for the life of me configure it such that I can see all the stats I want, still see if they have cards in front, and see their stack size. With PAHUD I just fiddled around with each stat so I could put some above, some below, etc.

ALSO, as a separate question. Anyone else having the problem that when you are auto importing real-time that you can't see the stats in real time, you have to restart PT3 to get it to show those stats?

ChuckTs · May 14, 2008

Yep, you can. The config is only accessible with a table open (until they make the in-program config), and it's very detailed. Different, but detailed.

On the beta? I'm trying to do it right now on a 1c/2c table and I can't get it to do anything to make it so I can see cards/stacks/stats and I don't even have all the stats up that I had from my PT2+PAHUD up, I've just got the standard display up with VP$IP/PFR/AF.

ChuckTs · May 14, 2008

It should be in the menu under the PT3 icon at the table...there's a whole config section with a few tabs of things to change...

But nowhere can I find somewhere where I can move individual stats around. Here's the example I'm talking about, look at my PAHUD setup. Note how they're positioned such that the money and sn is uncovered.

All I can figure out how to do with PT3 is to just configure what appears in the ONE box per player and drag that entire box around on the screen.

ChuckTs · May 14, 2008

Oh I see what you mean.

I'm a little busy right now and don't want to fire a table up, but I'm pretty sure this can be done. Just try looking through the config and see if there's an option to 'group' the stats as individual ones.

If it's not actually an option I'm sure PT3 could easily integrate it - go post the request in their forums.

Jagsti · May 14, 2008

Zach you have to set them up as stat groups in the config panel. So for example I have the stat group that show me vpip/pfr/af/hands as one box. thenj I have another box as cb/foldcb/cb turn/fold to cb turn. You can make as many groups as you like and have them as a standard box or have them running vertically using the different line seperators. Then you just move them about on the open table surrounding the seats and save the layout. |Hope this helps.
