B & M moving to online play
 

good/successful limit player (30-60 to 80-160) wanting to play online. do i need to be using some type player tracker to track stats of other players to be a successful online player? is this only necessary for multi-talblers or is it a MUST for anyone looking to be successful online.

also, what sites are best for soft play and what software is good and easy to use to track and get stats on other players.

thanks

everybody else at the table at anywhere near those levels with have poker tracker

Re: B & M moving to online play
 

If you find it usefull, it will be just as usefull regardless of how many tables your playing.

Also, check out PokerAce.

Also, the levels online are not analogous to live levels. In terms of player ability 30/60 live may correspond to about 5/10 online. Wouldn't want you to play higher than you should and then making a rigged!! post [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Use pokertracker and poker ace as posted.

Party poker has the softest competition, but other sites offer rakeback which can equate to upwards of 40% of your rake back at certain sites. Plus you can factor in bonuses and the works.

That being said, I play at Party Poker, but I'm no longer certain its the best choice.

Even if you only single table, I think Pokertracker and PokerAce are useful. PT is very revealing, even to experienced B&M players. As a successful B&M player, I am sure you keep records--PT is worth the $55 for just automating your records.

Having a HUD like PokerAce is useful because it is very hard to remember that StacysMom801 is a TAG and StacysMom643 is LP. Players pop in and out of tables so frequently the HUD is useful to keep track of who's who.

sounds like a must to do well.

what is HUD??

you're saying online play in general is tougher than B&M (in higher limits)??????
