Data Mining with PokerTracker

Reef · #1 11-22-2004, 06:34 AM

I thought only hands that one played could be auto imported to one's database. Is it possible to just leave the tables from party (and empire?) running all day long while PT runs and data mines? If so, how is this done.. thanks!

data mining is great. leave some tables open at party and have pokertracker import hands just like you do when you are sitting at the tables. party will be downloading the hand histories to the exact same place. also, a good place to find info on stuff like this is the help function in pokertracker itself.

Erm, I just opened up Party Poker and am observing a couple of tables but nothing went into my hand history folder. What am I doing wrong? Please explain to an idiot.

Thanks.

If you haven't played a real-money hand yet, do that.

go to the help menu of the program, is has it's own heading there "How to Import Party (and affiliates) Hand Histories Stored on your Hard Drive"

I get "file not found" when I do this.

Make sure you have version ending with 52 or 53 at least. This functionality is in the last two versions. When you set up the functionality to auto-import hands (lightning looking icon) there is a check box next to something about importing observed hands.

This is all vague and not as specific as I would like to be, but I am at work and not on my computer with the software. Hope this helps.

I have 2.05.02

That is the right version. In terms of having a "File not found" when you are going for the help file. I remember I had this problem when I downloaded the setup from Mozilla Firefox. I seem to remember reading that this was a known issue. You need to download the file through IE I believe. But I would head over to the pokertracker forum. You will definiltey get more detailed and accurate help there.

With version 2.05.2 you should see the lightning bolt icon in the upper left. One or two over. When the dialog opens up there is a button about setting up how to import observed hands. Hit it and you can set your parameters. Hope this helps you and the original poster.
