Party Poker hand histories
I just bought poker tracker and downloaded pokerace. It seems great so far. But pokerace is relatively useless without way more hand histories than I have. Is there anywhere I could purchase them or trade my own)?
**Apoligies if this has been covered already or if I'm somehow out of line for even asking. I did search for the subject before posting this and found nothing. |

Re: Party Poker hand histories
I just set the first update to pokerace to 3 hands. You know that the data isn't statistically significant at that point, but it can be used to give a hint. You don't need a database of 1000 hands for each player, you just need an indication of how they are playing now. Sometimes I get a bad first impressions, but usually the first impressions hold up.

Re: Party Poker hand histories
Bob...when did you start using PokerTracker? You were a notecard guy for a long time, if I remember correctly.

Re: Party Poker hand histories
Wow. That is some memory. I started with notecards, then went to stattracker on paradise. When I spread out to multiple sites, pokertracker worked a lot better, and I switched over. In the beginning of June, my old computer ate itself, and I lost my database, so I bought a new computer 'Dude, we got a Dell'. I reloaded pokertracker, and at the same time started using PokerAce. I just use the default settings on pokerace, but frequently consult the full statistics on a player when I am thinking about how to play against them. I also look at my own table statistics, so I can guess what my opponents might be thinking about my play. I really like the setup this way. It let me move from playing two tables to four comfortably.
For what its worth, the notecards are still sitting on my desk, but I haven't consulted them in a long time. |

So even after 100,000 hands you will be sitting at a table that you have no info on 6 or 7 of the people you are playing against. |

I disagree, I mine 3/6 and typically have stats on 80% of the players at the table, if not all of them. |
