need some help in understanding usefulness of this type of tool  for mtt play

[Sack it off]

Whats the As and stars mean on that site?

To add to this thread:

I have used Poker Office, Holdem Manager and Poker Tracker.

IMO Holdem Manager is the best, I think you can personalise HEM alot more and it really becomes effective once you have made it your own

[Acidmouse]

Tried to instaled holdem manager trial version and the initial page has trial button shaded out and I cant get past it. I have the sql thingy bob installed as It works on poker tracker.

Are there any online results databases for cash games?

yes there is a site for cash games. cant rememeber the name of it table rankings or somet>

Just a note for the mods about the training sites bit in the OP.

sngicons.com is now www.floattheturn.com

ok this thread is a little out of date anyone recomend which 30 day trail i should take PT4 or HEM2?
and if i install one how easy is it too set up and understand the info supplied

i am guessing i am wanting too keep an eye on the regs in the 45 mans
i am already starting too see the same names on my table all the time
i suspect they have alot more info on me that my brain has soaked it as i am not used too playing 6 tables at a time and miss some hands

I am one generation behind with trackers at the moment so only get hem1, but there can be harm in taking the trial unfortunately I have zero experience with either pt4 or hem2.

hmmm kinda in the same boat as Ironside.

Now I have a spare room I can actually start to grind again. Been playing zoom and really should use a hud/tracker.

Not sure whether to go for PT or HEM. I will be playing on a laptop.

Had a trial of HEM years ago but stopped using it as was too resource hungry on my PC.

I've used both and, while I liked HEM2, it just slowly ground the laptop to a halt.  I also had issues getting it to work properly with Zoom and Rush tables (was always one hand behind).

PT4 didn't have either problem, so it's the one I'd recommend.

Cheers Sheriff, just the sort of stuff i'm looking for,
Anyone else got any views on PT or HEM2

[UpTheMariners]

I'd recommend HEM2. As for resource hog issues, try full vacuum in database management once a month and purge old hand histories that you no longer need.

[pleno1]

I would massively push PT4, it just works so much faster imo.

[lucky_scrote]

Has HEM2 stabilised yet?? I know there were lots of beta type issues at launch, hence why I've stayed on HEM1??

How much more functionality is PT4 giving you over HEM Pleno??

It's stable now. I like it.

Got a new comp the other month and decided to upgrade to hem2 same time.

Damn thing just froze the computer. Couldn't believe it.
I had 2gb of ram, so I decided to upgrade to 8gb.
Runs smooth as silk now, never any issues. Works with zoom perfectly.

But if I had the option think I'd go pt4, never hear anything bad about, could upload friends' hud configurations etc.
Basically most people I know are on pt4 so would chose it for that reason.

Imo graphs are prettier on hem2 though.

[Pinchop73]

I don't actually have PT4 so not sure. I I don't use any hem2 addons.

Maybe Pads or TomSom could help, their pretty up to speed with PT4.
