Go ahead and buy PT now?

There is a decently-active forum on the PokerTracker website as well that you may want to look at before purchasing.

One is limited to sites that it supports, this meaning mainly Pokerstars (and Parties if they are not rigged) as it's the most popular site with full supports. The only problem is that Pokerstars does not have the easiest games.

The PT does not do even the elementary tracking for omaha players, meaning number of hands played, win amount, rake amount, preflop percentage for playing out of the blinds and raising. Those things are what PT is the best for and the reason to buy it combined to to notes export feature that's possible at Parties, Pokerstars, Absolute, while not at Pokerroom, UB, Prima/Ladbrokes as they have your player notes only on their site rather than both at their site and at your own computer so you need to import them manually, and by typing so it's that much effort that the best one might manage under about high limit is to put the preflop percentage and the hands played there.

So, it's of limited use only.

The site might allow to request the hand histories for the whole day and the only thing one needs to look is that it's still the same day there, or else. The site though might give you just 100 or 200 hands with the day history, or if it gives infinite hands they might update them there only once per hour. At UB one needs to click buttons for every hand history one wants (100 histories needs 200 clicks until you ask the 200 hands - maximum - from the operators to email to you) - I don't know how many hands it goes back, maybe as many as the day memory or the 100-200 hands memory has.
