The equivalent upgrade path for PT3 Micro is PT4 Small Stakes

- TT

Oops I guess i worded it wrong, I meant the select stats in the top left corner, as far as i can tell there is no way to edit these. Is there any plans to make this possible in the future?

See something useful ? You should do the same !

Is it cheaper to buy PT4 now or will it be the same when it's officially released?

bought! for 30$ this is excellent

Pricing will be unchanged after the official release (although note that to get the full 70% discount you need up upgrade before November 25, 2012).
By pre-ordering you ensure an uninterrupted change-over at commercial release time, without dropping into the normal trial version which will begin at that time, and avoid any delays in purchasing which may occur due to increased demand at that time.

I don't understand. How he bought PT4 in advance with ONLY $30 ? Where ? How ?

I see on your official website:
http://www.pokertracker.com/

Really ? I mean if I buy PT3 I get PT4 full version when it will be release to the marked in the final version ? It will work on any poker site or it will have any restrictions or something ?

PokerTracker has been around for 11 years now... our founders created most of the stats you commonly see in use today, we created the first commercially successful HUD, and to this day we are the only cross platform application for both Windows and OSX. From day one we have prided ourselves on our ability to innovate, not copy. Admittedly there are times that we draw inspiration from other sources, but we try to keep this at a minimum.. this only happens when our users really need something and we need to draw inspiration from sources outside of our own user base and consulting players but we always do that without copying. So please understand that sending us links of things that HEM does is not a good thing to do in the future - if you have an idea you wish to share then go ahead, we would love to hear it, but please don't tell us to do the same thing as HEM. We respect our developers, as well as the developers of our competitors, too much to do that.

On to other topics. Our goal is to make PokerTracker 4 easier to use and less intimidating, while providing the same level of power that our users have come to expect. Editing of text files to create reports is a step backwards from our development achievements, we worked hard so users never have to learn how to program a report or stats by editing a text file. Additionally if a text file is edited improperly then it could break our editing tools, that is why we do not save our reports and stats in text file format - this assures that it is less likely that the editing interfaces in PT4 will break - and in turn our users get a better experience with PT4.


In this case, we already provide a custom stats creation engine, it has been included since the early days of PokerTracker 3. In PokerTracker 4 we also include the complete stat formula and an easy to read definition for all stats - along with a tool to build, edit, or even color stats for your own customization. Click Configure - Statistics for more info.

Additionally PokerTracker 4 already includes the most powerful report generation tool on the market - and we will continue to add to it as new ideas are presented, for example you recently requested an alternative grouping option, this is now on our agenda for the future.

The best thing about PT4 is that even after we ship commercially, we wil not be done.. we continue to tweak and improve PT4, and we have more features planned that will come over time - all because we love what we do.

If you bought PokerTracker 3 after June 10th 2011 then you will get a 100% discount off the price of the equivalent version of PokerTracker 4 - aka the upgrade is free.

If you purchased PokerTracker 3 before June 10th 2011 then you will get a 70% discount off the price of the equivalent version of PokerTracker 4 - but this discount expires November 22 of this year.

These discounts are only available to people who previously purchased PT3. There are no restrictions other than the maximum stake allowed if you chose to get the PokerTracker 4 Small Stakes Edition - we believe in giving our customers EVERYTHING, they should not need to buy multiple third party add-on applications just to get the job done. One app does it all with PokerTracker 4 - we include LeakTracker, NoteTracker, Equity Calculator, and ICM calculator at no additional charge - and we are the only company to do this... which means we can save you up to $420 but not having to buy these add-on tools.

The final version of PT4 will be available in 10 days, pre-sales just started for existing PokerTracker 4 BETA testers only.

I just noticed that FPP-Tournaments are tracked as $-Tournaments. When will this be fixed?

If that is happening it is probably site or tournament specific, we need more information and ideally it would be best for you to submit a hand history so we can investigate.

70% off is quite a deal!
How will PT 4 differ from its beta, if at all?

you know when you double click on a hud at the table it changes from black to red, is there an option somewhere to chose that colour? or an option to chose the primary colour without having to go stat to stat and change their background colour

We are still adding to the Public Beta in preparation for the commercial release. For example:

• NEW: Soon you can now have more than one note window open at the same time at the same table
• NEW: Soon you will be able to import and export QuickFilters, we will include QuickFilters in the PokerTracker 4 Download Repository so you can share your filters with other PT4 users
• NEW: Soon the replayer will be able to display chip values in Big Blinds
• NEW: Soon the stat used to determine Amount Won per Hour will be added for tournaments in both Game Currency and My Currency formats
• NEW: Soon PokerTracker logs will be backed up to the Logs folder inside the User Data Folder for your convenience
• NEW: Soon the tournament notes for TableTracker will become available, featuring effective stack size filtering

And right now - with the exception of currency and NoteTracker, all of the tutorial videos we have scheduled for completion prior to commercial release are already included. Please note that we will be releasing the tutorials for all ICM and Equity calculators shortly after PT4 is released.


This has been already noted on our request list, it is up for consideration.

I wish to buy PT3 now in order to get PT4 for free but $99 is a little too expensive for me. How much PT4 final version will be ? It will be more expensive than $99 as PT3 is ? How much ?

Thank you and sorry for that, I thought I might just help you with those links.

You say you wanna make PT4 easy to use but it still hard to use, it has lots of hidden settings. Also it is very hard to create a custom stat or custom report. Also, how to use NoteTracker feature ? How to create notes with it ? I tried to create some notes using it but it seems it is not working. How you can see the notes then maybe it creates them but it did not announce me in any way ?
Another big problem is:
NoteTracker will make notes for you. How to use these notes if you don't see them ? There should be a method or a feature to export them in order to import in PokerStars client for example in order to see them better.
Also, I think it is better to have a feature to import them from PokerStars client or any other poker client into PT4 too.

Cant seem to use your bug report form at the moment, timing out.

If you restart pokerstars with pt4 running it doesnt manage to load the hud. Its fixed by restarting pt4 so not very serious.

Just mouse over the note icon on your HUD...should be there by default, if it's not on your hud, add it

How can I see a report of winnings grouped by hole cards, like pt3 style - showing AA and 51 instances and winnings etc in one line, below that KK and instances, winnings...down to 22

Now all I managed to get is all 51 AA hands below one another, each in it's own line, same with other hands. I want to see the net result for certain hands in the spots I filter not have each hand in its own line

Great product, btw!

Hi,

2 things here:

1.- Dunno if this has been discussed, but rakeback tracking is way off. I normally rake like $500, HM1 normally fails for 10-20$, but in pt4 my rake goes to 2.5k-3k for session. Why is this? (Ipoker)

2.- What happened to the auto-tagging feature? Wasn't supposed to be ready for commercial release?

Thanks

How do I get Notetracker to take notes on all of the hands I've already played if I haven't used it before? I pressed run but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

We are not ready to disclose the final price of PokerTracker 4 publicly yet... only existing Beta users can get access to our upcoming prices, this is found inside of COMMUNITY by clicking on the Preorder button. This is our little way of acknowledging the contributions of our beta testers.

Nothing is hidden. We do not require you to edit config files to put in your settings, everything is out in the open.

All configuration for the application is found under the Configure menu
All configuration for the database is found under the Database menu
All configuration of the HUD is found under the HUD menu

it doesn't get much simpler than that.


It is VERY easy to make a custom report. I showed my 82 year old grandmother how to do it, she understood how to make a custom report right away. If she can do it, then I am pretty sure you can learn how too just by watching the tutorial video for My Reports.

Custom stats are hard though, we admit that - but that is because you need knowledge of SQL language and our basic database structure. That is why we have a dedicated custom stats forum at pokertracker.com where you can ask our staff for help creating your custom stats - and in some cases we make the stats for you if we think they would be good for all players. This is also why we have included the Download Warehouse so you can download any custom stats you need rather than create them yourself.

Custom Stats should not be needed frequently though, they really are only for obscure or rarely used stats. Often times you will find that an AutoNote may work better than a custom stat because it includes ranges, but stats cannot properly determine range.

We do include a tutorial on how to create custom stats in PokerTracker 4, it is helpful but you may still need to consult with the custom stats forum to ask questions about the database structure. You can see the video link to click on in the image below.




NoteTracker is working fine, there are no known issues. We will be releasing a tutorial video for NoteTracker this week - I sugest waiting to watch the video, that should help.

NoeTracker is fundamentally a series of filters that can be triggered while hands are imported. If the filter is triggered, then a note is recorded, and you can include a variable in the note such as hand held, or cards on each street. You can run NoteTracker on your entire database AFTER your hands have already been imported by clicking the run button shown below -



NoteTracker's autonotes are found in the PokerTracker 4 HUD's note windows for each player, an example is shown below.

We do not intend to import notes from poker clients, but we do anticipate that a third party developer may chose to do that. PokerTracker supports 19 different networks for live import, each network is constantly changing their platform, it is just not feasible for us to include in PT4 - but I am fairly sure someone else will provide this as an add-on eventually.

Are you running notes on cash game hands or tournament hands? We do no have tournament defaults installed yet, so in tournaments you must include your own notes.

NoteTracker only triggers on hands during import. To create notes on existing hands in your database you must

1) Set the "Create Automatic Notes for Hands Since" date. Most players should set this to be a date a long time ago, such as 1/1/2001. This date is flexible so you chan chose to alter just a sub-set of your data.

2) We do not recommend taking notes on the HERO, it will ust slow down import and fill your own notes with too much info that you will not find useful in game.

3) You can purge all your old autonotes first so you can start with a clean plate. Once an autonote is recorded, it remains.. it is not like a stat that is fluid and updating, autonotes cannot be updated, that is why we added the purge feature so you can start from scratch at any time.

4) Click RUN. The status will update as needed.

This is an known side effect that occurs when you enable the ZOOM HUD option. When the ZOOM HUD is enabled in PokerTracker 4, you must follow these directions to see the HUD on PokerStars.

I followed that guide PT but I'm having no luck with NoteTracker. It says it is 100% complete yet I have no 'autonotes' on anyone - this is for cashgames btw. All of the categories are active and it works in test mode yet it hasn't done it on any of my hands so far.
