Yes. This will be fixed in the next release, hopefully this coming week.

Yes, I agree that's a good idea. Maybe post it in the PT3 Feature Requests forum.

Glad you got it worked out.
The next release should start postgres if it isn't already running.

You might try changing the stat type to "Popup use only" for all stats. This may allow you to reactivate the stats for cash tables without having to color-code them again, when you decide you want them back.

I did this for the player name and it worked.

That's good to hear. Do you know if it will also be possible to have an option that stops the postgres service when you close PT?

That hasn't been mentioned, but may be worth suggesting as an option - it won't be an automatic thing I'm sure, because some people use postgres for other things - PT2 at least...

i get a message saying my version will expire soon, does that mean i am behind on an update? i dont see any update options on the site, only to dl it again entirely?

i hate when i hit refresh in stats and it locks up my computer and all my tables. wow, not good.

A rebuilt version has been made available with an extended expiry - you just need to download the same version you are already running again. Make sure you download the WITHOUT postgres version, since you already have postgres installed.

running Vista w service pack 1 and get this error message when trying to install:

"failed to run initdb: 1! Please see the log file in C"\ProgramFiles\PostgreSQL\tmb\initdb.log Note you must read/copy this logfile before you click ok, or it will be removed"

im a computer idiot so i have no idea wtf is going on

What are you trying to install?
PT3 without postgres?
PT3 with postgres?
Just postgres?
Did you already have PT3 and/or postgres installed before?

Is there a reason my HUD resets every time I restart pt3? I save the lay out and everything but whenever I open pt3 the next time I am playing all my stats are next to the wrong player. It is still displaying all the stats in the layout I want it to, it just attaches them to the wrong player/seat.

Also, every once in a while my stats just won't show up on one table but will be working on every other table. IE. lets say I'm six tabling, 5 will have stats working as normal and one simply won't have any stats nor the pt3 button on the top of the table.

Is this a problem on my end or an issue with the software?

Playing on FT btw.

I don't think it is being "worked hard" on PT3.

Ever since commercial release you haven't added even the slightest new feature, just a questionable fix that is called a beta again. Complete joke, and don't throw dust in our eyes about working hard and whatnot. It is not possible for a team of programmers to work "hard" a month and a half and have such pathetic (nonexistent) results, you are just being extremely lazy after you already sold some copies.

HEM was the same mess when it got released but at least it has been improving at a daily basis, real work done there instead of douchebag forum posts. PEV might be missing all deadlines but at least he is not selling an unfinished pile of crap.

Complete shame

i already had it installed but something happened so i reinstalled wthout postges and download 8.27. now i cant log into the postgres database. this thing drives me crazy.


is it just a vista related problem?

Yes.

You should completely uninstall then reinstall PostgreSQL 8.2.7; see this FAQ

Are you saving the layout? PT Icon --> Save Layout should save the location of the icons. If you use the "sit me here" feature of FTP, PT3 has no way of detecting where you are sitting. Instead you should use auto-center.

i cant wait for the Sklansky Bucks/All-in EV function, I hope this has a high priority on the list of things to add

Currently the highest priority is HUD stability and then adding in new site support and other features from PT2 that are missing (auto-rate, etc). EV functionality should follow shortly thereafter.

It's one thing to criticize the product (which i have). But you have no evidence that they are being lazy; in fact, based on their history, i'm guessing they are working 20hr days on this.

I logged into PT3 today and got a message on the splash screen that says "This version of poker tracker 3 is about to expire, please download newest version" with a link to the website. All I can find on the website is version 3.0 build 2, same one that I have. Whats going on?

Please redownload Build 2 Without PostgreSQL and install it directly on top of your current installation from the downloads page. This should resolve your issue, as we have extended the expiration date in that version.

I've bought PT3.
Then I had problem with Postgre and I reinstalled PT3, cause it has postgre in the pack. Now I got "version is expired" but PT3 is still licensed to me.

While I was writing Kraada gave an answer =)))

How about some updates or even a clue when we can see a new build?! Man it's sad to see the #1 online poker tool become the "tool" of the industry.

Can somebody explain to me why the 3-bet PF stat is calculated the way that it is? Assuming that this is still true:

This makes it pretty much useless for using it to assign a range of possible hands without some unreasonably large sample size. Here is an example:

The first time that I play with Villain (a TAGfish) is on a Saturday evening at a table with a bunch of loose passive types who rarely raise preflop and therefore PF raises from everybody but Villain and I are likely to be TT+, AQ+. He is sitting directly across the table from me so is not in the blinds when I steal. We are both at this table a little over a couple of hours and I get about 200 hands on him. By this point in time his 3-bet PF shows up as 50%. The next time I see him enough time has passed that I don't recall anything but his SN so the stats I have on him are important. This time there is another TAG type player who steals from the CO with just about ATC and a bad spewy LAG who is running 60/40 PF and then playing weak-tight in any hand that goes beyond a c-bet. Even if we halve TAGfish Villain's 3-bet PF to 25% when the stats come up it is still going be useless at this table for assigning a range to him when he 3-bets. On the other hand, if the stat was calculated the same way as PFR it would be much more useful for assigning ranges overall. Is there some way to get a stat on the HUD that is calculated this way?

You will get a notification when restarting PT3 when there is a new version; the reason for the extended expiration date on Build 2 is that we believed Build 3 would be done by now. Unfortunately, it is not, so we've had to extend the Build 2 expiration date.

The HUD problems were much deeper rooted than originally anticipated. There will be another Beta released either tonight or tomorrow that should have fixed nearly all of the issues that remain outstanding. Hopefully Build 3 should follow not too long thereafter.

If you want to have a stat showing 3-bets over total hands, click Configure --> Stats, click on "Holdem Cash Player Statistics" then go to the Stats tab. Click on 3bet Preflop, then click the 'dup' button. This creates a duplicate of the 3-bet stat. Rename it something slightly different, then in the value expression change cnt_p_3bet_opp to cnt_hands, save, and then use that stat in your layout instead.

The PT3 custom statistics interface is very powerful

nvm. Kraada answered.

how do i get the little pt3 logo off the top of the poker table?

You can move it around by right clicking on the little "handles" on the side, but at the moment there's no way to remove it permanently.

are there plans for PT3 to be able to build a cache for the HUD information, like PAHUD use to do?
