Since you haven't even acknowledged this, I presume you think I'm mad or hallucinating. PT3 is really creating duplicate player entries, and I just queried the database to confirm this:

PT3 DB=> SELECT count, COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM player GROUP BY player_name, id_site) a WHERE count > 1 GROUP BY count;
count | count
-------+-------
5 | 1
4 | 3
3 | 18
2 | 45
(4 rows)

Further queries showed that the rows are identical apart from the id_player column.

But they are specified. It says (deep hu) in the HH. e.g.:

Full Tilt Poker Game #6476255446: Table Bayou (deep hu) - $1/$2 - No Limit Hold'em - 3:07:43 ET - 2008/05/19

i'm wondering about the same thing. If they dont include DB hands and only show 30 observed hands out of memory scanner before i sit down, i will be very disappointed and switch to another tracking program. Is this feature certainly included in the next release? Folks, i really want it back for my table selection on stars,please

In short, you will see all stats like in PT2, and additionally you CAN datamine 30 hands before you sit at the table.

Stars have a strict policy that prohibits datamining, but they gave permission to PT3 to mine 30 hands before you actually start playing.

is it worth buying now or should i wait?

buy it now

updates are free (i would hope)

unbelievable

is there any way i can try out table tracker without having to buy pt3 first? i'm trying to decide between PT3 and HEM

There we go again with the 30 hands...

I think PT3 has 5k trail
HM you'll have to check the HM thread, when there is trail, he'll post it.

I want to delete/purge the older hands from my mined database as it's getting pretty huge (just converted it to pt2.) What is the best way to do this? The DB is about 5m, i wanna purge the oldest 1.5m ish.

You DO know what datamining is, right? (Getting handhistories for hands on tables you're not sitting it).

PT3 is perfectly capable of showing ALL the stats for ALL the players at a table, whether you sit down or not. At PokerStars it's just not capable of reading more than 30 hands on that you're not sitting at...

Get this... I have a huge... datamined....database...! I don't give a crap about 30 hands. When I ask if PT is going to be able to use the mem scanner like it used to, I'm talking about displaying the thousands of hands I have on players (before I sit), not that last 30 that stars allows being mined. The only reason this is getting brought up again is because someone working on PT3 said no, ONLY 30 hands.

Agreed - I just tested this single HH and both players are recorded as 100% W$SD. Please attach this HH to the Support system and describe the issue.

These errors are hands with incorrectly formatted histories - usually the preflop actions are out of order or something.
If you have HHs which you think are correct but are not importing, please attach them to the Support system.

The problem may be that you define your stat in a certain category (e.g. Cash Hand) but if the report is of a different type (e.g. Cash Player Statistics) then the stat won't work in the report.

The memory scanner is only allowed to read 30 hands from a table to determine who is seated.
THE HUD WILL USE ALL THE HANDS FROM YOUR DATABASE TO SHOW STATS, not just the 30.

Pokertracke have many Bug !!!!
many data is not a correct !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you please be a bit more specific?

Is there anyway to change the stats shown on the pop up?

Go to configure HUD, go to the "group" tab, select the "default pop-up" group and then go to the "stats" tab to change the stats.

awesome thanks

There is a problem with rake calcs on ongame.

There is a standard no flop no drop policy at ongame... and yet:



Texas Hold'em $4-$8 NL (real money), hand #P4-68335320-200
Table Hagen, 24 May 2008 12:16 AM ET

Seat 4: Larimani [ 7D,QS ] ($1191 in chips)
Seat 10: Mentorn ($396 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
Mentorn posts blind ($2), Larimani posts blind ($4).

PRE-FLOP
Mentorn folds.

SUMMARY
Dealer: Mentorn
Pot: $6, (including rake: $1)
Larimani bets $4, collects $6, net $2
Mentorn loses $2

Shows as $1 rake on the DB as well...

If the rake is in the hand history files then that's how it will be imported..

It should be easy to figure out that although Pot is $6 (including $1 rake) the winner collects $6, so the pot was not raked. Just compare the pot size to the amount won (collected).

Fievel,

it makes the rake amount inaccurate in PT.

I have Vista and am not sure which version of PT3 to download...the With PostgreSQL version or the one without it. I don't even know what postgreSQL means...
