Trying out HEM

I am currently trying out HEM but I have one massive problem with it - it forgets my history. I can see in the database it's there but each time I join a new table it all resets. Also my own stats - in HUD. Data in the database is still ther but the HUD data starts from scratch.

That kinda defeats the purpose of it?

Is this because I am still using the trial version or am I doing something wrong? I don't feel like buying it if that's how it's working

If it is your own stats, that is normal. It only tracks the stats of the table you are currently on(really there is no point beyond that). And actually, many players turn their own stats off, because really it isn't going to help you. Where the help comes from your own stats isn't from the HUD but with all of the ability that you can do with data away from the table..

If you are just now starting to use it, then th reason other players are starting over is more than likely because you have a whole new set of opponents, and you need to collect data on them before it will show up, but if you have another player at a table that you ave played with before, their stats should show up.

When moved to a new tournament table the stats don't usually show for players that I have played before (but weren't at the previous table with me) until I have played one hand at the new table. Obviously there are no stats for people that I have never played against before.

The main use of your own stats whilst playing is to give you an idea of how other HUD users at that table might perceive you. Don't become too hung up about fitting your own stats into a pre-defined idea of what a "good" player's stats should be, and as the previous poster said a lot of players will have their own stats turned off in the HUD anyway.

Yea, and the only problem with looking at your stats in relation to what other HUD users at your table may have comes down to the problem that, you don't know what history they have on you, so it doesn't matter anyway. If they played a couple hundred hands with you when you were card dead, you wouldn't know that, because there isn't a way to filter your personal HUD stats to relate to each opponent at your table and what hands you've played with them.

So if you are at a table with 8 other players who you've played with before, but the number of hands played with each range from 50 hands to 50,000 hands, there is a huge difference in what your stats look like to each one of them compared to what your lifetime stats are, make sense?

I am not really too worried about my own stats - I was using it as a reference. My point was that tracking others also seem to display fresh stats when I meet them again. I have met a few where I see don't get a HUD that shows stats based on that history but only actions from the current table.

If you double click on a player's HUH stat box, it will turn red and only show data from hands played at that particular table. If the box is black (default) then it should show all the hands you've played against that player ever.

Your own stats are by default only shown for your most recent table.

Using and configuring the software (for me I am using PT3) takes some time to learn and adjust, hand evaluations after the fact is my favorite feature, this helps me learn more than any other features. I suppose it all depends on how tech. savvy you are, in my case I am not so it has taken me a while to learn and configure in a way that suits me.
