Default Re: PokerTracker - Observing on Poker Stars?

[ QUOTE ]
I just purchased PokerTracker tonight, and it looks like it's got a lot to offer. I want to maximize my reads on people, so I was planning on observing via Poker Stars, and letting hand histories build. I have Poker Stars set up to store my hand histories on disk, but it looks like it doesn't work unless I'm actually playing. I tried to get around this by taking a seat and sitting out, but still no luck.

Anyone got any ideas on how I can track without playing on Poker Stars?

It's against the Stars TOS to do this, and they don't support it (which is why you only get hand histories when you sit in). There used to be a 3rd party app you could buy that grabbed observed hands through screen reading I think, but I'm not sure if its still around.

Edit: And if you are new to pokertracker, its maximum utility to you will not be getting "reads" by massively datamining. Its utility will be maximized if you use it to analyze your game and find your own leaks.
