importance of poker tracker

[theBruiser500]

i played a lot of NL on pokerstars and use pokertracker. some of the stats were interesting, for instance it is a constant reminder that Axo has always been a big money loser for me and it gives me my hourly winrate and stuff which is interesting. originally i used it export notes on players but then i started playing a lot of shorthanded so stats like PRF and VI$IP, i woul dnever know what they really meant cause, was this plays PFR collected when we played HU or in a ring game? also, at 5/10 NL it's the same players and they have the pictures so i just rememebred my opponents. so i got out of the habit of exporting notes. how important is PT for limit hold'em to export notes on players?

Ridiculously important??

I want to get it, but I think I'll wait till after I hit up Party Poker.

[Grisgra]

So important that it's IMPOSSIBLE to win without it.

Okay, maybe not.

well, it's more important for the higher games because there are more regular players. at games like 2/4 and even 3/6, the players either bust out or they move up. at 15/30 they have nowhere to go until they bust out, so you get more returning players. I have a bunch of 3/6 hands and I rarely had notes on anyone. I've heard that at 15/30 some people will have notes on 6 or 7 players at each table

My max at Party 2/4 has been notes on 6 players at one table, but often it's at least 3 or 4, and that's been really helpful. Not just during games, but for table selection as well.

*phew*

Here I was, winning at the lower limits for the past year, worried it was all a sham because i didn't get notes on players until the most recent patch and the auto-rate/export feature.

Is it not quite true because it's almost always true?

[stoxtrader]

silly of my to reply so flippantly to such a quality poster - no offense intended thief.

i could have been a bit more amicable about it, but I think there are players who generally have notes on 8-9 of the other 9 players at their table in the 15.

A friend and I datamined 15/30 for about a week straight and then merged databases giving us about 150k hands. I now have a minimum of 7 notes on players at all the tables - notes are CRUCIAL to me when 4 tabling 15/30
