Poker Tracker 3 or Hold Em Manager

Poker tracker 3 or Hold em manager? I play a hella lot of cash. I was wondering what your POVs were on which one is better . I'm currently running PT2 but I want the HUD interface as going back an forth to check out my real time table is killer, as the fact that I can only have 10 in play at one time.

Please help!

I downloaded the PT3 60 day trial and love it. A lot of cash players here prefer HM from what I have seen. Your best bet would be to download both and see which you like better.

I've done witht he 60 Day trial on PT3 sadly and it is beautiful! I've downloaded Hold em manager but I have to do some configs on my laptop to get it working. I think my goal for this evening is to get that working! LOL! Hold em manager just looks so much tastier, how it runs though will be a different story

I like Hold'em Manager. It's so similar to PT3, but for people like me that are mini ballas, it's only $55 instead of $90 which is sweet. I love the hud on HEM too, it's a good one.

Try them both, see which you like best. Personally I use HEM because I grew tired of the constant beta updates for PT3 and the HUD slowing down and crashing. However I am still unhappy that HEM doesn't "properly" track MTT/STT properly.

Give PT3 another go Ice. There is a new release out (not a beta) and I haven't had a crash for more than a month. I have both but I use PT3 only when I'm playing and then go back and update HEM after each session.

What stakes are you playing? I wouldn't purchase tracking software for 10$ NL or less.

Wow, I'm in the same boat. My PT2 works fine, but I want to upgrade. I play 80% cash and 20% tourneys. HEM is nice for cash, but doesn't do tourneys very well. PT3 does it all, but I just read their forum and it seems like total chaos with the registration server problems they are still having and with the bugs in Beta 19.

I guess I'm stuck with PT2 for a while.

I love HEM, but i don't play tournaments and i'm pretty sure HEM doesn't track tournaments ($$ wise). The PT3 trial was a joke for me coz it would crash alot and HEM just has FAR more stats imo like positional stats, filtering etc.

Both have trials, give both a go and see which you prefer. And yea if you only play micro stakes (50nl and lower i believe) you get it pretty cheap (and i'd guess that you can upgrade to the pro version at a later stage if you choose to move to higher stakes).

I've used both before including the new PT3 and i like the hud and layout of HEM much better. like everyone else has said the only way to find out is try both of them.

You could always try both and then decide.

they are at :: HOLD'EM MANAGER :: and www.pokertrack3.com respectively. and no they are aimed at cash players. the tourney support in each is still in beta i believe

I have been deen thinking of using some sort of dataminer, but havn't decided with one to use yet. There is another product I found called Poker Edge but I don't think I have ever seen any threads here discussing it, does anybody use it? From the screen shots and demo videos it looks like a really good tool.

I have tried them both and am much happier with HEM. Hud is awesome and you can literally set up a gazillion and one stats on your opponents. So now I play ten hands and spend hours analyzing them (jk). Also was unhappy with the "bug-iness" of PT3

being new @ playing for cash, any gud advice? ive won al;il bit on carbon and ap, but what do i do now stay playing same games or move up lil @ a time? thansk peace~~~

o yeh and thankls for the info on the pt2 and holdum tracker, being so new to cash games, i thin they might really bow my mind at first uh?, ive got like lots of plat bankrols on a few sites, ready to play for some coins now thansk again~~~

I purchased both HEM and PT3, and I would have to go with HEM, and in my opinion, its not even close. I play mostly cash games though, so not too sure about which is better for sngs/tourneys.
