i was importing some hands just now and at the end the database couldnt perform maintenance citing not enough ram. i find this odd as i have 16gb and there was nothing else running. any suggestions?

Bodog management is wanted by the DOJ for sports betting. This is a very different issue than what Stars experienced, it is far more risky now for US players which are generally the only players who request Bodog support in PT4 - even more so since Bodog management have been indicted for Sports betting. virtually an apples and oranges issue... but all of that is irrelevant, the important thing to take away is PT will not be supporting Bodog 4.x client.

A request gets added to our to-do list only when we acknowledge that we added it. Although this was the first time I have seen the idea proposed, I can confirm that the idea was added to our to-do list for consideration yesterday. We agree, it is in theory a good idea. Thnx for the insight, glad you brought it up again! Our staff wasn't sure of the explicit result when it was posted last time, that is why they were asking so many questions, now that we understand what the end result would be, it is something we can consider for sure.



From the Database menu select Database Management. Click Housekeeping, select Revert PostgreSQL Tuning. Restart your computer. Follow the same instructions again, but this time select Tune PostgreSQL. Restart. Let us know if this does not solve the issue for you, good luck!

Hi,
first I have to say what a fantastic software PT4 is. Great job

However, I am a little confused by the "My C Net Adjusted" line for Knockout SNGs. Are you sure it is computed correctly since there are bounties involved in buy-ins?
Thanks

I do not have experience personally, but from what I recall bounties are properly calculated if the bounties are recorded in the tournament summary. This is of course a site specific issue, as many sites do not provide a full set of data for tournaments, they tend to treat hand histories for tournaments like they do for cash games but this does not work because we cannot gain data at any location unless the hero is seated at the table, and even then we often are not told when a bounty is won, and in some cases it is impossible to determine a rebuy or addon.

You can help us verify by sending us a sample bounty tournament for the site you play at, along with the summary if available. We can then

1) Verify if we can record the bounty automatically
2) Verify that this tournament type is detected automatically using our exclusive Tournament Detection engine.

Please folow the instructions found here to create a support ticket with the hand history, and we will be happy to help.

PS: Thanks for the good word, we love to hear from our customers when they have a great experience!

Hi everybody,

I downloaded the public beta a couple of days ago and I've just begun to toy around it.

I read somewhere about a feature that allows you to upload a session directly on youtube (or save it as a video); honestly I haven't tried it yet as I got no hand history on PT4, I'd just like to ask you a couple of things:

can you decide to export on the video just "marked" hands?
Is HUD shown on the video? (i.e., like video tutorials from DC or Leggo)

thanks a lot!
Andy

PokerTracker can export any range of hands you select to export to video. click the first video in a report, hold down shift, and select the last video in a report - the right click and select Send Video to YouTube. The video will be uploaded with the current Replayer & Deck Themes you have selected, and you can choose the speed of the replayer as well as if you want to hide the player names. You can also send any hands loaded in the replayer to YouTube, both options work the same way. To send only selected marked hands, first filter for the marks, then select them in the report.

We hope to someday include the HUD with the video exports, but we haven't figured out a way to do that yet using the tool set we used to export the video using the WebM codec and then upload it to YouTube.

PS: Coaching companies use third party screen capture software to record their videos, the most commonly used app is Camtasia. This allows them to edit the videos before release, and also include anything on their desktops - not just a single table.

Good luck!

hey guys, i have two questions.. maybe a fishy ones but here we go.

1. how can i filter a player hands from an alias that has 2 players?

2. I know how i can add stats to reports but i dont know which exactly is the Rake stat that i had on hm2 to add it in pt4.. if you need it i play on Ongame and pacific poker for the rake system.

thanks in advance

(1) Use the More Filters -> Game Details -> Sites filter.

(2) I'm not certain what value you're looking at there. You can see the definitions of each of our rake stats in the Configure --> Statistics window. Please take a look at them and hopefully when you've read them over it will be clear which one you are looking for.

I think I can expand on Kraada's post a bit, I think (hope?) I understand what you are asking for a bit better than he did.

We have 4 methods of calculating rake in PokerTracker 4. Each metod is available in both My Currency and Game Currency options.

• Rake Contributed - This is the most common method of calculating rake now, but it is often used as a base where additional factors are added. Total amount of money removed from the pot as rake divided proportionately by the amount of money the player contributed to the pot.
• Rake Attributed - Total amount of money removed from the pot as rake when the player won the hand. Rake is only attributed to the winning players)
• Rake Share - The old Party Poker method of rake, this is generally no longer used. Example - 10 players saw hole cards, then your rake share is 1/10th of the rake paid
• Rake Taken - The actual amount of rake taken out of the pot

Although both OnGame and 888 use the Contributed method, they do so in very different ways. OnGame has a system in place called Essence which using contributed as the base, then adjusts your rake based on your value as a player - essentially attributing greater value to losing & depositing players and less value to winning players who take money out of the ecosystem. Thats is why it is virtually impossible to track your rakeback on OnGame, Essence uses a proprietary calculation method which we cannot access. I am not positive on 888, I know they use the contributed method however I do not know how the rake contributed calculation is )or is not) altered.

On a related note, we have quite a few networks who have custom stats for calculating Rakeback in PokerTracker 4, including Revolution, PokerStars VPPs, and Merge. You can download then by visiting the download warehouse right from within PT4.

Hope this helps!

wow nice.. thats exactly what i needed..

I know bout the essence system just wanted to keep track on the rake im paying.

For the rake taken i tried this first as a mistake and happens to had an error on the report spot. just look at it.

actually im really happy bout PT4, never used before pt3 or lowers im coming from Hm2 and im just done with it, nothing works and what it works its laggy and slow.

the only thing that hurt me badly are the notes from Notecaddy and im not sure how dificult could be but what about converting the notes from notecaddy to notetracker? like the option we have with the database from hm2 or pt3

thanks anyway and keep the good work, you will be amazed how many ppl will switch to pt4 once you get the final product.

i just played a couple of sngs with my new PT4. i have spent a few hours configuring the software, and i like it a lot. my one problem is that my replayer always begins with the final hand of the sng and plays backwards. when i set the replayer to the first hand, it plays that one hand and then stops. like it's stuck in backwards?

i'm sure there's a super easy fix that i'm overlooking. can somebody help me out? thanks

We dont have any plans on converting NoteCaddy notes to PokerTracker NoteTracker autonotes. The functionality of these two systems is quite different, albeit the results similar. You can however spend the time to reproduce the functionality of some of the NoteCaddy notes in PT4, our interface is surprisingly fast and easy to use once you understand how to use filters to create the notes within the system.

Thanks for the voice of approval, we are honored and quite humbled by the amount of switchers like you that we have seen! PT4 would have been a raging success if we just had PT3 users upgrade - users like you who have switch is like the icing on the cake, it shows us that we really hit a nerve with PT4. Thanks so much!

The replayer is designed to start with the most recent hand played, that is correct. If you want to replay an entire session or tournament, then

1) Filter by drilling down to the session or tournament you want to review
2) Show All Hands in the report
3) Right click, select Replay ALL Hands in Report
4) At the top of the replayer, you will see a list of all the hands played in a dropdown menu on the left hand side. To the right of this space you will find the controls to go between hands. Click the control on the far right, this will take you to the first hand in the session.
5) To move forward through the hands, hold down the control key and press the arrow buttons on your keyboard. Its that simple! Just remember that the forward arrow is to move backwards in the session, this doesn't seem logical at first but it makes sense because we default to the most recent hand in the report to be replayed first.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys,

I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to HEM2 or PT4. I am leaning towards PT4, but I would like to know whether or not I will be able to import my notes from HEM1? I did a quick search of this thread but couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. Thanks!

Hands are replayed in the order they are shown in the report. You can change this order by clicking on the column headers. For instance click on the time or hand# columns to switch the order so that the first hand is shown at the top of the list then the replayer will replay them in order.

PT4 has a built-in conversion process to import hands and notes from HM databases.
