We have a new release coming out today, but we havent heard from anyone else with issues on Merge. Can you please try the new release when it comes out today, and if that does not work then please contact us again.

iPoker 4max tables are reporting CO position as UTG. So the four players are UTG-BTN-SB-BB.

Also wondering how I can fix the "opponent summary report (player)" to only show players with a minimum 50 hands for instance.

I want to see exactly how much rake I am paying. I thought it would just be the rake column in the sessions table but doesn't seem to be the same with my affiliate. Ill look at the other ones though

I have asked WhiteRider to look into this for you, we should have some answers within the next day or two.

That is not an available option at this time, but it is something we will consider for the future.

I believe you were asking about Rake on OnGame, is that correct? Kraada's answer is correct for the question you provided, which was "Is rake accurate for OnGame". If you asked him how to track rakeback or rake used for calculating rakeback then he would have explained that due to the way OnGame's rakeback system works, it is impossible to estimate rakeback or determine the amount of rake that you have attributed for rakeback. OnGame's rake system is called Essence, they weight your rake contribution method based on other factors such as if you are a winning or losing players. Losing players will receive a greater percentage of the rake attributed, winning players will receive less. The Essence formula is contingent upon other factors than just rake, therefore it cannot be measured by PokerTracker. For more information, please contact your rakeback provider, or your OnGame skin directly. Good luck!

Special Notes

• This BETA update will require a modest database update. Please allow PokerTracker 4 to perform this update before proceeding to avoid corruption of the database cache.
• We have temporarily disabled the Tournament Personal Results graph’s All-In Equity checkbox while development work continues. This feature will be re-enabled in the next release. We apologize for this temporary inconvenience.
• The effective stack size calculation change that was added in this release will only affects hands during the import stage, this change does not affect hands that were imported prior to this release. If you wish to use the new effective stack size filtering features that were added in this beta, then you must create a new database and re-import all of your old hands. We apologize for this inconvenience, but it is necessary since the calculation change cannot be made to the database directly.

PS: The PokerStars bug has also been fixed in this new release!

Where are you seeing that? I don't have many 4-max hands from iPoker but in my examples I see CO, BTN, SB and BB.
If you could tell us exactly which report and/or stats are wrong we'll check it out.
If you could compress and attach an example hand history file with which you can reproduce the problem to a Support Ticket on the PokerTracker website that would really help too.

--WhiteRider

Hi,
when I was using PT3, I could find actual hand history .txt files here: C:\Program Files\PokerTracker 3\Processed\PokerStars\......
PT4 has no folder like this.
Is it possible to get the HHs and Tournaments results imported by PT4 in .txt format (so I could import them in PT3)?

I hope you got what I meant though it may be a bit confusing question.

Thank you for your time

PT4 also moves processed files - you can see the default directory that processed files are moved to in the Configure --> Sites & Import Options --> Preferences page in the box at the top.

+1
please confirm the above position numbering for 6max in PT4

We already answered this question when you asked it the first time, I assume the answer was overlooked? The post you quoted above was edited to explain that the question was no longer needed since he had found the post "above" which explained the position numbers. Here is the original answer to save you time - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=2481

my HUD works in PT4 with the new 6max Super Turbo's structure, but my winnings/graphing does not.. I'ts going up every game but with $0.00...

I sent them some info and sample HHs on this, so hopefully in a near-future update.

Support Ticket #123505

Support ticket sent, #123555

For those who may be wondering, fluff is refering to Merge's new STT (6-max) Super-Turbo SNG games.


I just wanted to say, that was a really excellent support ticket you sent us, you provided every little bit of info we need to address the issue.

He included:

• Room Names
• Payout Structures
• Sample hand histories

This is exactly what we need to get right into fixing the problem for our users, Thanks so much!

- TT

thanks for the effort mate I'm still grinding these new structures regardless, they're AWESOME!

Add Ipoker SpeedHoldem support, plz.

Did you folks think about "Tagging hand in progress" by keyboard shortcuts? Or some button on screen that would mark the current hand by just 1 click?
The feature itself is really awesome, but sometimes the searching through options is taking more time than I want, especially when playing more tables.

After updating to the latest beta release, HUD isn't showing up anymore for HU Hypers. Anybody else experiencing a similar problem?

This is on our to-do list, but it is going to take some time I'm afraid. Right now the player pools are small, hopefully once this feature is no longer in beta the player pools will increase.

We wanted to could include keyboard shortcuts in PT4 for in-game use, but we cannot due to conflicts between the 19 different networks we support for live importing with a HUD. This is the downside of supporting so many networks, we are hopeful that third party developers will someday create tools to fill in this missing middle ground. Notice that all of the third party keyboard shortcut tools available on the market today only work with one site at a time, this is due to the same issues that we found.

On the bright side we included numerous keyboard shortcuts within the PT4 application itself that we have confirmed will not conflict with your in-game experience. For example you can use Control-A to select all hands in a report, use the forward and backwards keys to move between steps in a hand, or use the control key along with the forwards and backwards arrows to move between hands in the replayer.


HU Hypers on which site? We support 19 live networks, and more which are antiquated making a total of 26 as of this week (we just added Barriere Poker). When the HUD for a tournament format goes down we need to know

1) What network the tournament takes place on

2) Copies of the hand histories to see if we can duplicate the problem (sent via a support ticket)

Please get back to us with these details, we want to help you get back up and running quickly, but we need this small amount of info first before we can do anything. Thnx!

I left pokertracker 4 on overnight to convert my HEM database, but even now it has only imported 1.1M of 1.8M hands, so I'm guessing it will still take most of today to finish. I'm wondering if it will cause any problems if I cancel it?

I'm playing at PokerStars.
I also played a FPP 6-max hyper-turbo satellite and HUD didn't work there either. The button I can choose profiles from, (un)lock HUD, etc pops up as it should, but that's all. I tried switching profiles, restarting HUD and restarting PokerTracker but nothing seems to work.

Should I send all the hand histories I played today to the support or a single hand is enough?

Canceling will require you to re-import the database, so your best option is to let it finish so you don't have to go through this again in the future. But if you must cancel, then you are safe - there is no risk of data loss.

Are you importing cash games or tournaments as well? Tournaments greatly increase the import time because PT4 must also reconcile the tournament summary, and there are moe scenarios where all-in equity adjusted winnings must be calculated.

This sounds like you may be having other issues, it may not be related to the tournament format you are playing after all, but we cannot be sure until we see your logs. Please Restart PokerStars and PokerTracker, and start importing just one tournament. Stop importing after 10 or so hands have been completed, then send us the PT4 logs as explained in these instructions. Our support team will look into the cause of your issue as soon as we can.

- TT

Thanks for the reply. I'm only importing cash game hands, and I have a reasonably powerful computer, so I'm a bit surprised that it is taking almost a full day to convert the database.

Can you please go in to detail about this new effective stack calculation?
