| Poker Tracker or Hold'em manager? Basically as the title says, which one do you own/use? If you would like to point out why you use one over the other, good points and bad points would be great. I am about to start the trial of PT3 and then I will trial HEM aswell before making a decision on which to buy but would love some opinions from people that have used them a lot and know them inside out. |

| I have PT3 and have done the free trial of HEM. HEM is a lot better imo. it's a more stable program. I like the interface a lot better. They both do the same thing, I just think organizing the stats and looking at your play is a lot better with HEM. So when I have enough in my BR to buy HEM I will. |

The standard programs are intended for Texas Holdem. However, Holdem Manager has an Omaha version available, and Poker Tracker has versions for Omaha and for Stud. |

| I think the best way to sum it up is this. Poker tracker three is the more powerful of the two in terms of customisation of stats and reports. HEM Has a far better interface. 95% of users will never utilise the power of poker tracker. Therefore 95% of users would be better using HEM. |

PT3's output format is incompatiable with HEM (so I am told) You could, however reimport from the "procced folder". You would get everything bar the player notes. A bit of tweaking and you could have PT3 output to "almost processed" HEM then import from there and output to "processed". |

| After using both It's not even close IMO. I had used PT2 and PTO for 2+ years before I purchased PT3. What an upgrade vs PT2 for sure. But after a few months I decided to try HEM. I didn't even make it to the end of the free trial before I purchased it. Along with having just one tracker for HE and PLO, I imediately felt more comfortable with the interface and the responsiveness of the developers. There is seldom more than a days wait for an update after a site changes things, and if they need to, they will keep updating until all the bugs are out. Their service is just a bonus, but a big bonus indeed. |

| I own PT3 but if i where buying a tracker today i would go with HEM. Its basicly the same program but HEM has the better interface,easier to use and bring out updates quicker. If had a few update related bugs with PT3, nothing that wasnt fixed in a couple days but HEM just seems to have alot less of thouse problems. |

| I tried the HEM trial and liked it alot. Still bit confused on what everything does but im sure when ive got some more money comming in i'll treat my self to HEM (i know it's only $55 but im a bit tight ATM lol) and start to tweak/learn it. It does look very nice.... |

| Good thread. I'm refraining from voting because I've only used PT2. I thought it was a good program overall, but the interface is horrendous. I see that hasn't improved much in PT3. Additionally, a friend and I had a conversation recently about this and he's using PT3 now. He noted that he found several calculation errors (most notably in winning totals) and the filter often do not include/exclude the correct hands. It's also troubling that the PT guys still don't have a mac client. Does anyone know of a decent mac tracker? |

| Fwiw - I have HEM and love it! They also have a program you can try that comes with it called Leak Buster and that has been helpful to me as when I first purchased HEM I didn't really know what the stats meant and what goals I should be shooting for. I first tried HEM a few months back but didn't purchase it until recently (was changing computers). I couldn't get HEM to work at all the first time I downloaded it back then and the admin had me meet him at a site where he could take over my computer and set the whole thing up for me. To me that's customer service like no other! Their support is awesome! |

I use PT3 but wish I had purchased HEM intead. However, I do not plan on buying HEM as PT3 is good enough for what I do. I mean, getting PT3 has paid for itself over and over again. But I don't think there'd be any significant boost to my BR by switching to HEM. |
