Default Re: Noobs - Turn Off Poker Tracker

I'll give you the argument about using PT to adjust your play. A lot of people put too much emphasis on their short-term stats.

However, I'd be lost without PT/GT+. No matter how good I'm taking notes, it's not the same as knowing someone has put in money in 35% of 75 hands. I would guess I have never had a streak so hot that I put money in 26 of 75 hands, or at least not often enough that I wouldn't wager large amounts against it happening.

Don't get me wrong. I take notes as well. I especially find the aggression stats to be misleading and almost always try to make a note whether the 2 PFA means super weak/tight or truly aggressive, or if a c/r on the turn means something different than a c/r on the flop.

But, especially for a multi-tabler, those VPIP and PFR numbers are pure gold, even with 75 hands.
