percentage of users having PT and PokerEdge

That's my impression too.

seriously. PokerEdge is a waste of money. Datamining + PV makes a lot more sense.

Explain, I say this as a PokerEdge fan [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I use PokerEdge only for table selection. When playing PV is obviously much better.

I have read that some people datamine for 30minutes before sitting at a table! Damn, this is more expensive than the $10,- /month PE fee.

What is "PV?"

Didn't mean to promote any product, just had no idea there was any alternative. Never heard of datamining and playerview before.

So if I understand correctly the following is considered to be wise:
- using PT+PE for table selection (if you consider PE to be a waste use you're own collected data instead)
- use PV for playing (initially makes use of the PE database, later also/only of the hands you're playing at that moment)
One question remains: is it still useful to datamine on a table you're not playing or intending to when you have PE or does PE provide you with that data anyway in the following hours (put otherwise: do they watch ALL tables above .5/1?)
Thanks for your patience with me.

If you have PE, you don't have to datamine before moving up. You can use a database up to 3/6 (for the small stakes fee)

I think Poker Edge is the most usefull for table selection, (Game selection, Discipline, and Talent, with talent being the least important requierment for sucsess). It also gives you instant info on players you have never played with before. Pokertracker I use mainly for looking at my own game. As for how many people use all these programs I think 15% might be about right. Don't think it is any higher than that since only the people who are playing a large amount of hands are using these items.
