NEW: PokerTracker 3 Holdem - Micro Stakes edition

by APerfect10 » Tue Aug 04, 2009 7:08 pm
We are proud to announce the release of the PokerTracker 3 Holdem - Micro Stakes edition.

We understand that some Micro Stakes players cannot afford the full version of PT3 for $89.99 and are missing out on the most valuable online poker tool. Therefore, we have decided to release a Micro Stakes edition on a limited trial run to gauge interest levels. This new Micro Stakes edition provides you with all of the same great features as the full version except at a much lower price of $44.99 USD. The only restrictions are that it is limited to the following (Micro) stakes and below:

  • No-Limit: $0.10/$0.25
  • Limit: $0.25/$0.50
  • Tourney/SnG: $11 Buyin
Play like a professional with PokerTracker 3 Holdem Micro Stakes edition and move up limits faster. As you graduate from Micro Stakes, you can then upgrade the Micro Stakes edition to the full version of PokerTracker 3 for a seamless transition to those higher limits.

Since this is a limited trial run, there are no guarantees that this offer or product will last so act quickly and purchase PokerTracker 3 Holdem - Micro Stakes today!

Tooo expensive and doesn't cover big enough stakes (should cover up to 100nl imo like the HEM's small stakes version does). Stox members (even those who get free Stox) can buy the full version of HEM for $50.

I'm a big PT3 supporter but this edition is poorly conceived.

Have you ever thought that you might not be a micro whore anymore if you got a hud??? Just a thought.

Tried the eval when they went to PT3, ended up second guessing myself way too many times and spent too much time trying to figure out what all the numbers meant. If I was playing 50-100NL, then yeah, I would get it and learn the hell out of it. For 2NL, I think there's too much variance in the players and I just don't think it is worth it.

It's nice to know that they have made the attempt. Although, for $55, Hold'Em Manager has a Small Stakes Edition which covers higher limits, if I remember correctly. I still have ~40 days or so on my 60 day trial, so I will burn that up and see if they make any changes. I too am weary of splashing out $45 - I must admit, though, that I could certainly see getting a lot of play out of it. It is three levels from $0.02/$0.04 to $0.25/$0.50 LHE and I expect I may not get to the quarter games until the end of the year at the earliest.... $45 for about five or six months, will full purchase price applied to the full version is a nice deal.

Both HEM and PT3 are ridiculously cheap compared to what they are worth. Regardless of the stakes you play. And the HUD is just a detail. Analyzing and improving your game is really what it's all about.

Oh, I believe you. I think that people often become jaded and cynical when they look up and see so much overpriced crap pushed at them for no other reason than the fact that they play poker. And price does not necessarily indicate quality in our hobby/industry, sadly...

I will say this though : the fully functional 60 day trial of PT3 is insanely generous and should give anyone plenty of time to assess its true worth. I'll use up the rest of the trial I started on last month, but I must say that even if the offer goes away it is still a good buy. It is nice that they have responded to HEM and made what seems to be a compelling counter offer. Very effective marketing.

If you are going to buy one, I suggest HEM. I have PT3 and have had problems. I just finished the trial on HEM and I'm going to buy it as soon as my BR will allow. So if you haven't bought one yet, I suggest HEM, it's the better program.

HEM does everything PT3 does and more. HEM is the better program by far.

Totally disagree, but that's why people should try both.

I own both btw. Haven't opened HEM in months.

I have both or did, my trial is up for HEM and I think it's way better. There are more numbers and stats to analyze your play and progress. Plus there are more detailed hud stats for ring.

Why do you like PT3 better? that's what I use now, but as soon as I can purchase HEM, I am.

There is not a stat in HEM that you can't get from PT3 (you may have to make it custom but the ability is there), but honestly the reason I like PT3 better is more a look/feel thing. I just think HEM is ugly. That's why I think people should try both, because we all can have different opinions.

The 1 thing that I really do like in HEM is the Players tab. If you use HEM, make sure you take advantage of that feature.

I downloaded the PT3 free trial. I really like to keep things minimal on my comp. You have to install PostgreSQL and everytime you launch it, it has to connect to a server? Is HEM anymore minimalistic?

the both user postgresql. essentially HEM and PT3 and databases, so you can't really avoid having a local sql server installed on your machine.

price is too expensive, or too low stakes covered, but I admit that the idea is cool, if we can upgrade to a full release for a reasonable price after buying this one

It is still waste of money, free trial is enough.
