Thanks Evil..  Noted

No problem mate. Glad to be of help.

To be honest unless you play a huge volume daily you aren't really going to get much from 15 days.

You won't play enough hands against other players to be able to build any meaningful stats so don't pay too much attention to your HUD.

I'd start by just using it to review your sessions after you've finished. Just go through the big pot hands and see if there's anywhere you think you may have gone wrong.

I guess the main tip is to play as many hands as possible but don't use the HUD just yet for helping with decisions. You need at least 50 hands to be able to take any notice and a lot more to be confident of your reads.

At the end of your 15 days have a look at all the combinations of hole cards that you've been playing. It will show you which cards are losing you money the most often. You can then look at these hands to see where you went wrong or if you just ran in to coolers. You may find that you have to change the way you play small pairs from early position for example. You may find that there's particular combinations of cards that just don't work for you in certain positions so you should be folding pre.

Remember that HEM isn't just about the HUD. The most important thing for me is reviewing afterwards to try to plug leaks. Look at your vpip/pfr/3bet and see how your stats are. This will help you see if you are doing too much limping or raising in early position.

Just checked your post and I see that you play tournaments. One place where your HUD may be useful is in blind stealing when you get short. Try to look for someone who is limping 40% or more or better still raising 30% or more. These are ideal candidates for shoving over the top of to make your steals more profitable. Someone who limps 40% of pots is unlikely to call a 10 to 15 bb shove. Someone who raises 30% of pots is unlikely to call a 15 to 20 bb shove. You can just use session stats for this rather than full stats as people can play differently on different days.

Gl with it.

Thanks to all who have posted on this thread on OBV respect to Tank for the topic.

Just some general questions:  I have the link from here so TY i intend to downlaod the trial. ( no way is it goner be painless form me, i don't roll that lucky )

As i play Tournies low stakes and i am one of them ai with best hand players Tank mentioned earlier, i am not sure that the hud will be of great value to me, but..... Am i right that this software can show me things like how often aa ak ect hold??

Am i also right that is shows a graph demonstratiuon how well you are running in relation to how well you should be  running!!!  God my english is pants  soz all. Or is that poker tracker.

Cheers GL all

great thread so far tank - you have made the transition to using the software very easy

i do have one question when i play SNG my stats are reset is this because i can view my collated stats using the software ?

also obviously as the blinds increase and the numbers dwindle how do you account for the increase in play without skewing your stats

Couple of quick questions:

1) Is there any column in any of the tabs that shows you on average how many tables you play at a time? I've clicked around a bit and can't find such a stat, but I'm sure PT used to have this stat

2) In the tourney>reports tab two of the columns are '$' and '$ (EV adjusted)'. The '$' column obv shows how many chips you're up or down in total, but is the '$ EV adjusted' column how many chips you theroretically should've won according to cEV? Basically am I right in thinking that if the $ev adjusted column is a higher number than the '$' column you're 'running bad'?

Running bad with the cards you were dealt.  It doesn't make any allowance for the fact that your cards were significantly better or worse than an expected distribution.  I've seen players moan about getting aces cracked too often, and then on closer inspection seen that they got dealt JJ+ AQ+ 5 times an orbit.

A cursory look at the red line graph is ok once in a while to sanity-check if it is run-bad or play-bad, but some people read far too much into it imo.

I have just moved to HEM after being a long term fan of PT (but never actually paying for it)....PT graphs are great to look at but HEM graphs look absolute balls, is there a way to tidy them up a bit?

Just found this thread - two quick questions as I am mid session.

1)How do I get the HUD to display full database stats and not just the comp or table you are currently at or in?
2)How do you turn off the display of the previous hand?

Not long got this, quality piece of kit. Exposes my (many) flaws in my game. Well worth the money!
