6Max Party: Sharing Player Notes

[Position]

So I'm just starting in these particular games & wishing my PokerTracker had a lot more player data to Advanced Notes Export...

Realized that we twoplustwo'ers must collectively have a ton of data on damn near every regular player out there.

Why not share/trade?!

Law review students share tons of competitive classroom data -- course outlines & even past exams & answers -- like I envision we could. It gives them an advantage over the other 80% of law students, but it's all totally within the rules.

We can fire PokerTracker databases back & forth (through e-mail), getting 100,000's of hands at our favorite games, with very little effort. The big "cost" is letting each other have good data on ourselves -- but we might end up with great data on you anyway even if you don't share it [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Also, this could be a slick way to get more acquainted with other twoplustwo'ers.

Last month, I played 15,000 hands at Stars at the NL$2 & NL$1 levels. That's the best current package I have to share.

If anyone has UB databases, I really want those whenever -- because I never bother to request their hand histories cause they're not automated.

Right now, I especially want current (last 3 months) Party6Max$100NL (might as well make it $50-$200NL) databases.

Let's get all we can on all us chooks.

Reply here, PM me, whatever.

i would also be very interested in the higher nl ring games at party's poker tracker database. I'd be willing to share my database(over 300 tournies- not alot i know) of high stakes pp SNG's(i havnt played enough of the ring games to make it worth your while)

Cool. I'll let you know when/if I get any databases.

I expected 5+ replies by now. Either y'all aren't using PT Advanced Export nearly as much as I am -- or you feel this is more technical trouble than it's worth -- or...?

i think sharing data would be a great idea. would it be better to share the PT databases themselves? i haven't used the export notes feature much (although maybe i should) - i usually just open up a "game time" window and look at basic stats for people i'm playing against.

how exactly do you go about using the notes export? i'm guessing it's something like "notice that someone is bad during play, review their play very closely while not playing, seek them out with buddy list later."

Oh, YOU'll gain a LOT from this thread!

The Advanced Notes Export is astoundingly awesome. It writes all the numbers you want for all players (like VoluntarilyPut$InPot%, PreflopRaise%, %TheyWinShowdownWhenTheyBetRiver&GetCalled...) into Stars' or Partys' or whatever's local notes file on your machine.

Then, when you run Stars or Party or whatever, that data appears (formatted however you want; the PokerTracker designer & programmer is the nuts!) for each player in his Notes that you view as normal in Stars/Party by right-clicking on the guy.

I use it mostly during a hand when facing an actual decision! I click on the villian & interpret his playing style(s) based on my now-intimate-familiarity with interpreting PokerTracker numbers.

I don't use anything else anymore. I don't write regular-English notes on players. I don't look guys up in PokerTracker during play. I sure-as-hell don't use the Game Time window!!

As to mechanics of sharing data...yes, we can send whole PT databases back & forth! (If it turns out that another method is better, we'll do that instead.)

One of the venerable poker bloggers proposed this same idea a while ago - and I have participated. How we did it: One person set up an FTP server, and distributed the password to those that had expressed interest in contributing. Each person exported all of their hands from PT in 300hand/file chunks, made a ZIP of the whole thing, and uploaded it. My PT database is now 20k players, 100k+ hands (only about 9k are mine).

Given this, if you get this rolling, I may participate, although my hands/info are at the lower buy-ins.

this sounds like a great idea. does somebody with more tech skills than me want to get the ball rolling?

Interesting! Do you have a link for that discussion thread in the blogging world? I'd like to check out what they've done.

We might combine with their service or create our own, depending.

Thank you much for speaking up.
