Poker tool software company

PokerTracker Software, LLC is the name of a poker tool

software company that produces the PokerTracker line 7️⃣ of poker tracking and analysis

software.[1][2] PokerTracker's software imports and parses the hand histories that

poker sites create during online 7️⃣ play and stores the resulting statistics/information

about historical play into a local database library for self-analysis, and for in-game

opponent 7️⃣ analysis using a real-time Head-up display.[1]

The software allows the user to

monitor each poker session's profit or loss, hands played, 7️⃣ time played, and table

style. It calculates and graphs statistics such as hands per hour, winnings per hand,

winnings per 7️⃣ hour, cumulative profit and loss, and individual game profit and loss

across multiple currencies.

The logo associated with 7️⃣ PokerTracker

PokerTracker Software, LLC produces poker analysis software. Examples include

PokerTracker Holdem v2, PokerTracker Omaha v2, PokerTracker 3 Hold'em (PT3) 7️⃣ for Texas

Hold 'em, PokerTracker 3 Omaha (PTO) for Omaha Hold 'em, PokerTracker Stud for Stud

poker, and TableTracker.[3] The 7️⃣ company previously developed the PokerAce Head-Up

Display, also known as PokerAce HUD or simply PAHUD, which provides real-time

information for 7️⃣ live online poker play;[4] the functionality from this formerly

separate application was eventually incorporated within PokerTracker 3. Collectively,

the company's 7️⃣ software has been described as "among the most comprehensive software

programs in the online poker industry" by PokerSoftware.[5] The company 7️⃣ subsequently

developed PokerTracker 4 in 2012 and 2013, which is its most recent software

development.

PokerTracker 3 [ edit ]

The general 7️⃣ info tab view of a sample database in

PokerTracker Holdem v3.00 beta 29, including user customized columns such as final

7️⃣ tables and highest percentile finish.

In September 2009, the company announced that as

of March 31, 2010, PokerTracker Holdem v2 would 7️⃣ no longer be supported. The decision

was made because PokerTracker 3 had been released on May 15, 2008, nearly two 7️⃣ years

prior to the end-of-life date. The company felt that discontinuing support of v2 would

avail resources which could be 7️⃣ dedicated to improving PT3 and providing exceptional

customer service.[6][7] Similarly, on December 31, 2010, PokerTracker Omaha v2 would no

longer 7️⃣ be supported, as its features have been completely integrated into the

PokerTracker 3 product line.[8]

PokerTracker 3 supports online poker from 7️⃣ the following

poker networks and/or sites: 888 Poker Network, Bodog, Boss Media, Cake Network, Cereus

Poker Network, Entraction Poker, Everest 7️⃣ Poker, Full Tilt Poker, IPoker, Microgaming,

Merge Gaming Network, OnGame, PartyPoker, PokerStars and Winamax.[9] PokerTracker is

available natively for both 7️⃣ Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X-based

computers.[7]

PokerTracker 3 competes against several similar programs.[10] According

to Total Gambler, its most notable 7️⃣ competitors are Hold’em Manager and PokerOffice,[10]

while Pokersoftware considers only Hold’em Manager to be a serious

competitor.[11]

PokerTracker 4 [ edit 7️⃣ ]

PokerTracker 4 is poker tracking software that

is designed for several types of online poker: No-Limit, Limit, or Pot-Limit cash

7️⃣ games, Sit N’ Go's and Multi-Table Tournaments for both Texas Holdem and Omaha

players.[12] It is compatible with almost all 7️⃣ online poker websites' software and

interfaces.[13] PokerTracker 4 began public beta testing in March 2012.[14] In August

2012, the company 7️⃣ commercially launched a Microsoft Windows version of PokerTracker

4.[15] In January 2013 as PokerTracker version 4.05.10 was rolled out, the 7️⃣ company

began alpha testing an Apple OS X version of the software.[14][16] PokerTracker 4 was

produced from scratch rather than 7️⃣ by refining PokerTracker 3 and other earlier

versions.[17]

On most online poker sites, players can have the client software create a

locally stored text file that 7️⃣ records the hand history as shown in the 'Sample Hand

History' example. These hand histories summarize the details of the 7️⃣ hand in a format

that can be parsed by computer software. PokerTracker reads these files and extracts

the relevant information, 7️⃣ which it converts into a database for later review or

statistical analysis.[11] The software is capable of combining hand history 7️⃣ details of

multiple accounts from different online poker services, which allows a user to

aggregate his or her data.[18] Statistical 7️⃣ summaries can be consolidated from different

poker sites regardless of whether the user's screen name is the same at each

7️⃣ site.

PokerTracker is capable of analyzing cash ring games in which players play for

cash during each hand, sit and go 7️⃣ tournaments in which players compete for set prizes

after the prescribed number of competitors join the tournament, and multi-table

tournaments 7️⃣ in which players compete for tournament prizes based on the total number of

entries at the scheduled start time. Statistics 7️⃣ can be tracked by position, session,

tournament, best & worst hands, and hand results. This helps the user analyze

statistics 7️⃣ based on starting hand or final hand. The software also enables the user to

replay any specific hand.[19]

The software's database uses tournament summaries

such as 7️⃣ the 'Sample Tournament Summary' example and hand histories to provide a three

section summary (see infobox screenshot). The top section 7️⃣ of the general information

tab provides tournament summaries of profit/loss as well as ordinal placement summary.

The other sections summarize 7️⃣ situational statistics based on the level of the blinds

and the starting hand. Additional tabs in the software produce detailed 7️⃣ information for

various statistical interests.

PokerTracker's probability graphs, as well as historical

statistics of the hands a user and his or 7️⃣ her opponents have played, enable the user to

analyze conditional statistical possibilities and optimal betting amounts. The

situations it analyzes 7️⃣ are conditional on the opposition's playing characteristics and

the player's position relative to the dealer.[20] Graphs can be produced for 7️⃣ a single

session or for any part of one's playing history.[19] One of the biggest improvements

in PokerTracker 3 over 7️⃣ PT2 is that it is fully customizable so that all statistics and

reports can be tailored to the individual user.[11][21] 7️⃣ The Guardian claims most

serious players use PokerTracker during online play to constantly calculate situational

optima.[22]

PokerTracker 3 version v3.00 beta 7️⃣ 29 Profit graph

PokerTracker 3 is also

known for its integrated heads-up display, a transparent video overlay data

presentation that makes 7️⃣ statistics and notes are readily available during play. The HUD

allows an online poker player to focus his attention on 7️⃣ the poker table he or she is

playing at, rather than on the PokerTracker application. The HUD provides a vast 7️⃣ array

of realtime statistics for in-game analysis, customizable to the user's preference.[19]

In addition to the statistics available constantly during 7️⃣ play on the poker window,

detailed statistics are available in a pop-up window, accessible via a single mouse

click.[23] Marbella 7️⃣ Slim of the Daily Star used the vision of Arnold Schwarzenegger's

Terminator character in an analogy with the HUD: "In 7️⃣ some scenes, you get to see what

the robot Terminator is seeing and he has all these data streams in 7️⃣ front of his vision

- it's a HUD or a head-up display."[24] Unlike other poker tracking products,

PokerTracker 3 includes 7️⃣ a HUD as part of the basic program.[11] The PT3 HUD, which

automatically overlays a player's opponents' statistics next to 7️⃣ their avatars, is

essentially a built-in version of the formerly available PokerAce HUD.[21]

PokerTracker

v2 will no longer be supported after 7️⃣ March 31, 2010.

PokerTracker 3 also offers a

monthly subscription-based service called TableTracker. TableTracker is an integrated

service that automatically identifies 7️⃣ ring tables with competition suitable to the

user's playing style.[21] PokerTracker's servers constantly monitor which players are

playing and what 7️⃣ tables they are playing at on various major poker sites,[25] which

allows TableTracker to find the weakest players across multiple 7️⃣ online poker

websites.[19] The user can search based on the software's built in scoring system or

any other statistics of 7️⃣ his or her choosing.[25]

Use and legality [ edit ]

PokerTracker

3 includes a HUD overlay as seen in this Pokerstars online 7️⃣ poker session

Serious poker

pros and casual amateurs alike can benefit from the poker tracking software,[26] and

poker magazines such as 7️⃣ Card Player repeatedly remind poker players of the usefulness

of tracking software.[27][28] Total Gambler says that in addition to experience 7️⃣ and

skill the other necessity for a gambler to become a professional poker player is a good

software package such 7️⃣ as PokerTracker.[29]

Several websites portray PokerTracker as

either the world's leading or the world's most popular poker tracking software. For

example, 7️⃣ Pokersource describes it as "the most popular poker tracking and analysis

software available"[2] and Party Poker describes PokerTracker as "the 7️⃣ original and

largest piece of poker tracking software".[21] PokerSoftware says "Poker Tracker has

been the industry standard ... for years".[11] 7️⃣ Total Gambler says that for more than a

two-year period PokerTracker 2 was the "prominent force in online poker tracking", 7️⃣ but

at the time of its December 2008 review it speaks of this leadership position in the

past tense, noting 7️⃣ that PT3 had not yet been "fully released" at the time of its

testing.[10]

Major online card rooms forbid the use 7️⃣ of software that gives a player an

"unfair advantage." This typically includes software that allows players to share their

hole 7️⃣ cards with other players during live play and software that automates decision

making. Since PokerTracker software doesn't fit into either 7️⃣ of these categories it is

generally allowed on most sites, including industry leader PokerStars.[2][30] Legality

aside, some players feel the 7️⃣ use of PokerTracker takes away from the game; for example,

Victoria Coren of The Guardian remarks "there is only one 7️⃣ downside [to using

PokerTracker]. Where's the bloody fun in it?"[22]

vocational rehabilitation success stories.
