Poker Tracker for Sit 'n' Gos?

#1 09-06-2006, 7:51 PM

Hey ya'll,

Question: I'm sure some people here use statistical hand/player-tracking programs like Poker Tracker.

Does anyone have any thought or comment about its usefulness in a SnG? Obvious problems include that players leave when eliminated, and that tightness/looseness changes as the number of players and blinds change.

Let's say you play the same type of SnGs regularly, but on a large site, so that you often see familiar faces but there are perpetually lots of new faces as well.

Thoughts anyone?

Don't take my word for it, but I believe Poker Office tracks SnG's. I have never used it for SnG's, but I have used it for ring games and MTT's, so I am certain that it supports SnG's as well. Great program and will track every aspect of the game for you, including opponents style.

PokerTracker does just fine with SnG's.

IMHO, you get more from analyzing your own SnG play than your opponents' play since the situations do change, as you described. Although you CAN check your opponents' actions at specific blind levels, their stack size may affect their actions differently.

(FP could give you more on this.)

I know Poker Office tracks tournaments...including sit 'n gos...but I never saw a use for them with my strategy....unless of course you're just tracking your own play.

Either PokerOffice or PokerTracker should do the trick for SnGs... I find PokerOffice probably more useful, because it seems to be more useful for immediately gauging an opponents looseness, etc.
