Week 3, Day 21: Tracking Software

So Tracking software can help you away of the game by analyzing your results and in game by tracking player tendencies with a HUD.

VPIP you have to raise or call to affect this. It will tell how tight or loose someone is.

Collin goes over some aspects of Poker Tracker that can be used to help folks away from the table like reports like how well you do in tourns with states like ROI, ITM, how many wins you have, replay certain hands see how you played them, analyses your win rate with certain hands in certain positions so it can help you find and analyze troubled spots in your game with a ton of filters. Last thing Collin goes over is the "all in luck feature" that tells how many times you put money in bad and got lucky so it can identify how solid your game really is.

EBOOK TIDBITS:
"Tracking software cost money. Its also no longer allowed on every online poker room" so know your site's policy on this before you spend money and time getting used to it.
 
Wow - talk about mathematical heaven! The tracking software and HUDs available today look very, very powerful. But I thought I had read on Cardschat (the previous post and elsewhere) that you can't use these on some poker sites and in fact they might revoke your membership if you do? I don't want to get into trouble at the outset of my soon to be illustrious poker career so I think I'll hold off on these for the time being.

Despite I'd never applied them at my games, manage those softs should be very interesting.

By now I keeping playing in a way its users cannot track me so easy.🙂
 
Finished Day 21

Tracking software is very interesting for grind, it facilitates decision-making according to the profile of each player as explained on the video.

The 3 main statistics are VPIP, PFR and 3-bet. Depending on these 3 data we can predict the villain's reaction and this optimizes our result on the long turn.

In addition to the advantage we can have against other players, Tracking software also allows us to work on the game by reviewing our sessions and analyzing our hands and many other options.

I find that this software is an essential tool to take an advantage against opponents to optimize the result over the long turn.
 
Tracking software, the first thing I want to buy when I have the dollars to do it, I truly believe that the tracking tool brings a long-term advantage, I intend to play professionally, so it will definitely be something I buy with the greatest capacity possible, thanks again for the exemplary class Collin.


21/30.

Those are the 3 stats I primarily focused on then I played a lot online. It was definitely helpful.
 
I learned a lot from this lesson. Mainly, stats aren't worth anything unless you use them.
I have Poker Tracker 4 and saw some things that will help me out that I was not aware of how to do.
I need to spent more time with Poker Tracker 4 and get to know it better.
 
Day 21 finished.
Nice topic about software to track a another players.

Depends on which sites you play? GGPoker and PartyPoker have banned Tracker/HUD use while their client is running.
But for studies and evolution of your play, a tracker might be a good help.
There are ways to download hand histories and import these into a tracker of your choice.
Improving your game is much easier with a tracker.

It's not necessary unless you have a lot of tables running.
 
Software for analyzing and tracking statistics is an important tool for working on your game. However, many sites prohibit the use of such programs while playing, and I think that’s fair—it ensures a level playing field for everyone. I currently play on GGpoker and WPT Global; some statistics are automatically displayed in the poker room lobby and are visible while you play. That is quite sufficient during the actual gameplay, and taking notes on players provides additional help.
