PokerTracker and PokerStars...

How useful is PokerTracker going to be to me if I play exclusively at PokerStars? How would I get the hand histories into the database easily by playing at PokerStars?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am relatively new and I am wondering if PokerTracker would be a good buy for a PokerStars player. Thank you!

You set it up to check your POP3 email automatically, and you have it auto-request 100 hands every 5 minutes. This is slightly annoying as every 5 minutes it briefly interrupts you once every 5 minutes, but it isn't that bad.

If you miss any, you can email PokerStars for a history of every hand you've ever played. It will take them some time to get it together for you (they do it at night when the server load is down).

Very usefull, definitley worth buying. You can set up PT to auto-request, than auto import hand histories every couple minutes from PS.

Check the software or Books/Publications (used to be books/software) forum for more on PT.

Wow, it seems that with the auto-request option, it takes all the "hard work" out of it. And, since I can request every hand I have ever played up until I get the software, it seems like I can make up for the hands that I had previously thought lost. I hope to make this investment soon, and hopefully I can start catching the leaks in my game soon after.

Thank you very much!
