I'm 99% sure there is a bug here. I ran a SQL query in pgadmin looking at cases where amt_won<0 in cases where somebody "won" the hand and went to showdown. It returned many cases which didn't make sense. Here's one:

It seems to include cases where somebody goes all in, has them covered, they call and they win. PT3 seems to think that the all-iner wins a side-pot, when all that's happened is money has been returned. I play on Party and Ongame and noticed the problem occurring on both sites.

When you start up PokerTracker 3 having never installed PostgreSQL on the computer, and if you're starting up the "WITHOUT" download, it prompts you to log in to some database. The boxes are: server, port, user password.

Server is the IP address of the computer that has the database installed. So if the computer that has PostgreSQL installed on it is 192.168.1.102, that goes in the 'server' box. Port will almost always be '5432' (you can manually change that, but the directions don't have you doing so). User is most likely 'postgres', and the default password is 'dbpass'.

So when you start up PokerTracker 3 on Computer # 2 having never installed PostgreSQL it will prompt you to connect to somewhere or get PostgreSQL. Use whatever your information is for IP Address, then the rest of the default values and you should be able to connect. Once you've connected, you're all set and everything else should function identically.

STak,

I greatly apologize for your situation, if you will PM me the ticket number of your ticket I will make sure it gets attention shortly.

I just bought PT3 and when importing I get alot of errors, like 3 errors/file or so. Those hands have been imported fine and with no errors when using the beta. I've opened a ticket on the website with errors and handhistories, I'm just wondering if this is a known issue? ETA on fix?

when i goto "ipconfig" in the command prompt on my main pc it says it's not a recognized command but on my 2nd pc it works and gives me the ip so are the 2 the same or is there another way of finding the ip for my sql client machine? thanks

When I try to set up a custom stat and add it using the spanner button, it won't show up in any of the tabs within PT3 (I'm not referring to the HUD but the "main" application. I can set it up to pick up any pre-defined stat, but not a new custom one.

Grateful if this could be fixed.

Thanks

I can't check it right now (no windows on my working computer), but IIRC you need to have admin rights to execute ipconfig.

im on xp not vista

what was the standart password for the sql database again?ty

dbpass

credit cards work instantly...

Did you ever get any feedback on if this worked correctly?

please bring build 3 out my pokertracker keeps randomly freezing and closing!

Kind of a repeat question but I haven't seen a straight answer yet. Is PT3 going to have the Poker Stars memory scanner just like PT2? I have a few million hands for the levels I play. Will PT3 be able to use that DB and grab/display the stats, before I sit at the table?

I was using pt3 on ftp and everything worked fine. all of my sngos auto imported fine, stats were accurate. everything was fine.

I just played all night on ps and while the auto import for the cash games i played is fine, stats are fine. the auto import for the sngos that i played are not accurate. they all dont have the position i finished and my winnings/losses are not accurate.

why does it work on ftp and not pokerstars. what can i do ??? i sure hope i dont have to manually enter anything..

help please

Must manually enter on Stars.

screw that... any idea when it will work properly ??

Some of the Hud fixes are taking longer than I hoped. I'm not going to rush another release. I'm going to try to make sure the next release fixes all the major known bugs and that it will work without lag for most people. It's possible I could have something out by the end of the weekend, but more realistically, it will be next week sometime.

It's not as if it's a conspiracy to get you to believe the wrong thing. The documentation just hasn't been updated in a long time.

If the hand histories don't specify that the hands are heads up, PT3 doesn't automatically make them 2 max. You can click the "Adjust Qualifying Tables Limits" option in the auto-import preferences and it will mark these as 2 max.

It sounds like you have a corrupt database. Make a post in our PostgreSQL forum on our site. You'll get better help there.

Yes, just position them and PT Icon -> Save Layout.

No, this is not possible. At least not at this time.

You definitely should've received your code much sooner than this. If you still don't have your code, reply to your support ticket and send Derek (APerfect10) a PM on our site. I apologize for your wait time.

Under what section did you create your stat? Is it not appearing on the list of stats available in the report config window, or is it not showing in the report once you've added it?

I understand it's frustrating. That's why I'm waiting until I'm confident the next build will work correctly for most people.

Yes, but with the restrictions PokerStars has put into place for this (only 30 hands per observed table).

PokerStars does not record your winning information in it's hand histories written to disk. You need to request your tournament summaries and copy/paste the email they send you to a file on disk and manually import that file into PT3. That, or you need to manually enter the results. We plan on adding the email-reading functionality so you can skip the copy/paste step, so that will make it a bit easier.

Under configure, in the Statistics tab. It didn't appear in the report (in both Table Tracker and the 'positions' tabs). It gave me the choice in the config window, and it appeared to work within that window, but ignored my choice to add it after clicking apply and close. Closing PT3 it and starting it again didn't work. Returning to the config window, the window still showed the stat as being added, but it wouldn't report - the column didn't appear at all.

Grateful for a response on my earlier post re: what seems to be a bug re: W$WSD. PT3 seems to think we've W$WSD even if we lost a heads-up pot when we (a) have the opponent covered and (b) bet more than he has. It seems to not recognise the difference between money being returned and a true sidepot. This is a significant issue IMO.

Thanks

So PT3 will be able to use only 30 hands from my database to display stats before I sit, even if I have 30k hands on someone? Count me out! I hope you are planning on keeping PT2 & Ace hud working in the future.

LOL - Reading Compreshension, FTW. Pretty sure what he meant was:

It will only be able to 'Read the first 30 observed hands' (i.e. - Datamine 5 orbits). The HUD stats will obviously pull from your entire DB, + the new 30 observed hands, so you can table select. I believe it will be similar to PT2/PAHUD, only better cuz u get +30 more recent observed hands into the HUD stats, to help you table select.

Well I made it rather clear I didn't care about the 30 hands and wanted to know about my DB hands. In the PT3 forums and in here I got the same 30 hand response, no mention of, yes of course your DB hands will be included.

tried this last night..

1) i had ps send the hh of the 6 sngos i played last night to my email. (seperately, because i dont know how to do them all at once)

2) i copied and pasted each hh to note book and placed them in a new folder.

3) i went to manual import in pt3 and chose import from files.

4) i opened the folder that the hhs were and highlighted them all and imported them all into pt3

5)pt3 said that 6 0f 6 files were imported but nothing changed in my tournament stats..


when you all fix this problem will the user have to manually import anything ?? when do you expect to have this done ??

i read the thread for over an hour trying to learn how to do this properly.. i understand copy/paste, could you walk me through it please. perhaps i missed a step.


thanks..

Pleaase release build 3 asap...it's very frustrating to buy a program and have to use the older version (PT2...) because the new one doesn't work properly.

well give them time to fix up the bug
make no sense to release build 3 if known bug is not kill yet
you'll still have the same problem
