Wait, i thought pa took all of it's information from pt databases? So if PT can't import the hands, how does PA get information to display stats?

PokerAce Hud does get all of the statistics from your PokerTracker databases, that is true. However, PA Hud reads the hand history files that each poker site writes to disk in order to tell which players are at the table, what the mucked hands at showdown were and so forth.

In Absolute Poker's case, the observed 'hand histories' contain the players at the table, and the showdown information. PokerTracker can't use these because it needs the action information for each street, which isn't written in these files.

However, when you are sitting at the table, Absolute writes an additional file that contains all that information that PT can use.
