Does anyone have any info about Tournament Indicator. Just finished the free trial period and it seems pretty straight forward, and easy to read compared to poker tracker. It is a bit pricier, but just looking for some comparisons, especially if you use it regularly. Thanks ia advance

These softwares can't really be compared in fact.
Basically, you must see Tournament Indicator as a poker odds calculator only, with some interesting additional features like M Zone and few other basic stats.
It is not done to track these really few stats (5 or 6, that you can't choose) on the long run.
It's true that for some beginners, the odds calculator, M Zone, VP$IP may be good stuff to play a little better than average.

But if you really want to improve, you'll see that you can calculate the odds very easily by yourself, and so by choosing a real tracking software like Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker 3, you'll have really a great tool to improve your game. You'll be able to replay the hands that you didn't play well and find why, you'll be able to have valuable information if you play CG, by the tracking stats of your opponents, in order to know which type of poker they play, can you steal their blinds easily, will they fold to a continuation bet, etc...

As the price of these softwares is quite the same, I would definitely choose a real tracking software as far as I'm concerned ;)

Tournament Indicator has I believe a 48 hour trial period and Poker Tracker's trial is 60 days. If you haven't done the Poker Tracker Trial ,you should

I would definitely choose the same... I have a mac, so unfortunately I have never been able to use poker tracker but I have purchased the poker copilot and I think it's very useful tracking information like maolitas said... I just bought this software and just realized you can replay the hand exactly the same way it was played out and see your mistakes for yourself later... that's great software if you want to improve your game....

I have Holdem Indicator. I used it alot when I first started playing, but have found it to be less and less useful. I have looked at Tournament Indicator, and think some of the extra features are neat. I have a feeling though that I would find the usefulness fade away like Holdem Indicator.

I haven't ponied up for Poker Tracker yet, but have looked at it. Maybe I'll give the 60 day trial a shot.
