Poker tracker..how do you use it?

Hi all,

Ok so we all import our hand histories for sessions played, we look at the hands that we lost the most money with in the session, we replay them and ask what/if anything could have been done differently, did we beak any fundamental poker rules/concepts to explain why we lost the hand etc etc..

But how do you maximize the usage of this tool? I am aware you can make some super interesting databases with it but which ones?

Is there a similar thread that was started on this topic?

How do you guys use PT?

Thanks

In the Golden Archives forum, look for ChuckTs' 10k post on beating micro FR games. It's mostly about how to exploit others' play, but if you understand how to exploit other players, you'll get a feel for what kinds of self-analysis is possible as well.

PT3 and HEM both have several default reports/views that allow you to review your tendencies in any number of situations. Most new PT3 users should take a look at the Positions tab, for example, and review their positional play - if your VPIP (% of the time you voluntarily put money in the pot) is relatively flat across all positions (i.e., you're putting money in the pot roughly the same amount of the time from early position as you do from the button), you have a huge leak in your game.

That's just one example, there are tons of others.

You can also post your stats here on CC and ask for feedback once you have a reasonable sample size - a lot of people do this (I did when I first started using PT3), it's a good quick way to get a sense of what experienced PT3 users are looking at in their own databases.

PT have great tutorials online to and theres a sponsered forum on 2p2

Iv found these guides to be useful.

However theres alot I have still to do..like produce a monthly stats page like many people screenshot and post for review on CC.

Thanks gents
