Poker Tracker Vs Stat King

[bigsooner]

will someone who has used both of these please explain the pros and cons of each thank you

[astroglide]

i don't see them as competing software. i use both daily. pokertracker is not good at precise logging, and statking is not good at hand analysis.

I have been using PT for quite some time now. I have not purchased statking for two reasons.

1. I like automated processes. PT I just download hand histories and it is all there.

2. It seems to me PT has all the data that StatKing would have...it just isn't presented as of yet.

On #2 I am thinking as PT moves forward (next version) it will render StatKing useless to most online only players.

If I am wrong about #2 can someone let me know what stats StatKing has that PT doesn't capture?

i.e. PT currently captures, length of session, limit, win/loss, etc etc... Does statking have something extra here?

Bigsooner,

I use Stat King. It will help you keep track of how much you earn/loss more hour. It compute your standard deviation. It has some neat feaures. For instance I learned I earn .75 BB more an hour on the weekends then I do during the week.

As another posted pointed out, Stat King will serve a different purpose than Poker Tracker.

The same information regarding BB / hour, BB / hour at weekdays, standards deviation etc. is available in Poker Tracker.
I think Poker Tracker is a brilliant anlysis tool. The amount of data you can sort on is enormous. Only minus is that at this time it only is available for Hold´em, and only automated import from Stars, Paradise, party + skins.
