partypoker, pokertracker, how to see stats on observed tables?

In partypoker, you can open up up to 4 tables and watch them, but the stats on the tables don't seem to be saving to your handhistory folder. So, is there a way to get stats on these tables?

Currently it seems I have to actually sit at them, then refuse to post the blind so I am out, this causes the hands to be saved to the hand history folder. However, even doing this doesn't work so well, as pokertracker and gametime don't show this is as a current session until I actually play a hand, so I can't see the stats for the table until I have already played a hand.

Any way to do this better?
