PokerTracker and PokerStat
Phil Sandler
I am a registered user of PokerStat. I haven't used it for about
three months, and have some questions about it and the new software
called PokerTracker.
PokerStat Questions:
1. Is there an update coming that will support Party and Stars?
2. If so, will it automatically capture and process histories from
these sites like it does with Paradise (I love this feature)?
3. If #2 is coming, will this new version allow playing on tables from
different sites simultaneously?
4. If #1 is true, will it allow different names on different sites (my
Paradise login name was already in use when I signed up for Party and
Stars)?
5 Am I a "lifetime" member now that I have version 2? I paid for the
software initially, then I had to pay again to upgrade if I'm not
mistaken.
PokerTracker Questions:
1. Does it have an automated feature to request hand histories?
2. Does it have an automated feature to log in to a POP mail server
(like PokerStat)?
3. Does it track multi-table tournament results on Stars?
4. If the answer to any of the above is "no", are these features
planned for future versions?
Questions about both:
1. Do these packages track session statistics?
2. If so, how well do they handle multiple tables at a time?
3. How do they handle hourly win/loss with multiple tables?
Finally, what are your overall impressions of these packages? How
useful are they compared to, say, tracking sessions on a spreadsheet?
Thanks for any info.

I don't have PokerStat but I do have PokerTracker.
> PokerTracker Questions:

Yes, at least for PokerStars..that might be the only site for which it
works(memory fails as I am at work ATM).

Yes.
> 3. Does it track multi-table tournament results on Stars?
Yes.
Again I only have PT.

Unknown...I have never tried it but I would guess it handles it well.
> 3. How do they handle hourly win/loss with multiple tables?
Same as above.

I really like PokerTracker. It gives a ton of useful information and
I suspect that if you have Access (and can use it) you could massage
the data anyway you wanted to.
Hope thats helps some.

I'll answer some questions, about PokerStat, which I designed and
wrote.

Yes, the Stars version is coming soon, the Party not so soon but it's
coming.

The auto-fill table feature may be missing initially, but otherwise it
will be similar to the Paradise version.

Yes, but only if you run both versions of PokerStat simultaneously.
PokerTracker mixes the statistics for each site, PokerStat will have
seperate applications/databases for each site.

They will be completely different programs.

Upgrades within a version are free, but from Version 2 to 3, it's not
free. Version 3 is not planned for anytime soon, so you don't have to
worry about that. The Stars and Party versions will count as paid
upgrades for existing users.

Yes, you can read in hand histories in any which way, for single and
multiple tables at the same time, and it will sort them out and
display your results by sessions/tables/blocks of time, etc....

Either as true hourly rate (meaning how much you win per real-life
hour) or by hour-table rate, meaning how much you win per hour per
table.

Much much more useful. Both programs would benefit someone playing
online immensely!

(PokerTracker) are out of RGP now so better drop them a line to their
support e-mails.

Yes, but you will run it as two programs at the same time. He said it
would be separate executable applications and you must purchase it as well.

Don't think so. Each new major version cost some money. Upgrade to ver. 3
would probably be cheaper for you.

PokerStat, answer is "yes", but not perfectly. You can see multitable as
separate sessions or you may see it as blocks of what was played including
simultaneous plays. But you can't see say how are you doing say purely at
$3-6 two tables at once if you play second table of $5-10 from time to
time. You can't filter blocks view by blind size, only sessions view.
PokerTracker, answer is "No". You only may browse multitable sessions on
one session per table basis.
Go and download demos and help files - all this is very well described.
