Brand New to Poker Tracker - be gentle!

[beefypigeon]

Hi guys!

I'm brand new to Poker Tracker, only had it about a week now and starting to maybe get to grips with it a bit. May I just ask a few really basic (and probably really stupid) questions?

I'm currently just taking advantage of the free trial, but what are the differences between the free trial and the full version? I understand that the TableTracker is subscription based, but can't really see any obvious differences between the trail version and the full.

I assume PT3 cannot give you in-depth detail into every player your going to face at the tables, only stats on the hands you've played with them. (for instance may face a player who was shortstacked when i last played him, but now hes got a monster stack i'll have no idea how hes going to play?)

Also, getting a bit confused with the winnings i'm being shown. In the winnings tab it tells me im winning (total in the amount won column), and when I look under graphs for sessions im also positive, however for hands played etc it says im down money. Just wondering what the best way to get an accurate read as to how much money I have won/lost in total.

If anyone could help that would be brilliant!

Cheers guys.

The full version of PT3 allows you to use multiple databases and create and import custom statistics (it also gets rid of the nag screen when you open and close PT3, and will never cease to function as the trial will).

For a sample of the sorts of custom statistics that can be built, you can take a look at our repository which contains free stats for download and use. It does take a bit of work to build your own, but the ability to make your own stats is well worth the time invested imho.

Regarding your winnings and the graph - are you playing tournaments? If so you can be winning in total results (actual $) but have lost chips overall and that would explain this sort of discrepancy. Alternately, are you playing in multiple currencies?

Thank you for your quick reply!

Well the tournaments tab shows a common figure that must be correct so that isnt a worry. I only play in USD so that isnt an issue. However its the cash games that are showing me completely different results. Under the winnings tab, im being shown a positive number when I accumulate the "ammount won" by month (e.g. Jan + Dec + Nov = positive). (And the same figure is shown as a total in the Ammount won column in the Sessions tab too)

However if I go on the graphs under the Cash Games tab, the green line in the graphs for Hands Played, Dates, and Months are all way off the mark, however if I run a graph for the Sessions, it is in the positive completely different to the other graphs. And aswell as all this the Ammount won figure that is shown in both the Sessions tab and the Winnings tab, is shown as a minus figure on the graphs!

Confused! Is there a fix at all? And if not, what figure do I believe!?

Do you have any filters enabled? If you had a filter for, say, hands where you raised preflop, the graph would only show you data from those hands - click Clear to remove any filters and see all of your data. Filters for individual hands don't apply to the Winnings tab.

No filters enabled, everything cleared, everything refreshed, hasnt changed anything though! Very odd?

Could you attach a couple of screenshots to a support ticket then? That way we'll be able to start investigating potential causes more effectively for you.

I've sent in the screenshots and hoping someone can help soon! Thankyou
