Filters are SUPER easy once you understand how to use the five filter groups. The majority of preflop or Postflop filters are found under Actions & Opportunities, unless you need a specific hand (or range) or board.

1. Game Details: Filter for game types, currency, sites, stakes, or dates. Dates include things like last # of hands.
2. Hand Details: This section is sometimes confused with Actions & Opportunities, think of it as the basics of the hand, rather than the play by play. Win rate, amounts contributed to the pot, position, pot size and stack depth are all listed here.
3. Session Details: Rarely used in practice, it is only useful for finding all hands from a session that meets certain criteria.
4. Hand Values: Hole cards, as well as made hands and draws
5. Board Texture: Self explanatory
6. Actions & Opportunities: This is the real gold in PT4's filters. You can use this section to filter for any action that the ACTIVE PLAYER took, along with any OPPORTUNITY to take an action by the active player. "Faced" actions are not needed here, because they are covered under OPPORTUNITIES. For example did you face a 3bet? In that case you had an opportunity to 4Bet.

In your specific case are you looking for a very basic Call 3Bet which includes all 3Bet calls, or are you looking for something more specific like times you 2bet then faced a 3Bet and called?. That wasn't quite clear from your post, your use fo the word "facing" in this specific instance makes your intentions a bit unclear, as soon as you respond we can show you how to do it if you want more than just the times you call a 3Bet. .

TY for your reply, and I'd like to filter the hands when I raise from any position, got 3betted and I called

Thats a really simple filter to make. Under Actions & Opportunities - Preflop select Raised Preflop Any 2Bet and then add Called Preflop Called 3Bet. There are no complicated logic alternations to make, no need to change groupings, change from AND to OR, or 'NOT' a part of the filter. Just click and add, easy game!


(Raised Preflop Any 2Bet) AND (Called Preflop Called 3Bet)

How do you set up a filter vs a specific player?

Change the active player to that opponent. Filters will now respect the POV of the active player.

How do I add my rakeback % to my individual player so it show up on my graph?

What site are you playing at? Rake back can only be tracked on The Revolution network, all of the other sites make it impossible to track now. We can also track FPPs at Stars, but we cannot track VPPs because the necessary info to enable tracking is not provided by Stars in the hand histories.

I haven't played online poker since August and I decided to deposit and start playing again today. I tried turning on PT4 and I get the error message;

"Unable to login to database (postgres). Reason: could not translate host name "localhost" to address: Unknown server error"

I click on Configure Defaults and click Connect and I get the message;

"Unable to connect to this database. Please check the configuration."

My postgres settings are Server-localhost Database User-postgres Port-5432 Password-dbpass.

When I cancel and try and proceed it takes me to the Select Default Database page and the default database is grayed out. When I try to create a new database I get the following message;

"Unable to create PostgreSQL database: PT4_2013_04_15_161917
Reason: Unable to login to database (template1). Reason: could not translate host name "localhost" to address: Unknown server error"

I tried reinstalling PT4 and Postgres, but I still can't get it to work.

Help??

"could not translate host name "localhost" to address" tells us that you may have a networking problem. "localhost" as a universal hostname that translates to the IP address of 127.0.0.0/8; it is a non-routable IP address that refers to the "local" computer. localhost is defined in your operating system's HOSTS file, this can be altered sometimes by your antivirus software (or firewall) for your protection, and in other scenarios it can be altered by a crack, virus or trojan - you should look to determine if you were compromised in any way. Here are a quick list of possible solutions

1) Restart your computer and try again. If you have any firewalls or antivirus software installed make sure they are up to date, try again. Scan your computer, remove any issues (follow the antivirus instructions to make sure all files are restored or fixed if need be) then try again. If nothing is found by your antivirus software, disable your firewall and antivirus tools - try again.

2) Make sure Postgres is running. In Windows you can do this by looking at the service console, then find the postgresql serve - if it is not running then you should start the service.

3) Review your HOSTS file to make sure that localhost points to 127.0.0.1 as explained in this third party article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27350...ur-hosts-file/ then try again

If none of the above work, try changing the IP address from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in the PokerTracker 4 configuration. This will not solve your networking problem, but it is a reasonable work around.

#3 appeared to have worked, but I now get this message:

'Unable to login to database (postgres). Reason: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"'

Thanks!

If #3 was the solution, then I recommend you find out why that happened, sometimes it is caused by a malicious application like a virus that displays spam, this could be a symptom of something very dangerous happening on your computer. Your security may have been compromised.

Not really intuitive. Look at my last question about "cold call preflop".
I have idea: how about filling the download warehouse with bunch of "simple filter"?

Everytime I go to the Statistics/Results Tab the graph area and where all the stats should show up always says "query does not have a result set". How do i fix this?!!? Im on a Mac.

This can be caused by adding a filter on top of another filter

1) As a safety measure, its wise to rebuild your cache. Click Database > Database Maintenance > Rebuild Cache. This could take some time depending on the size of your database.

2) Remove all filters that you may have added by drilling down into reports, always start at the top level of the report hierarchy when adding a global filter.

3) Remove all Quick Filters, these are the filters you use on the left hand side of the report that are always visible without having to open a new window

If this continues please try using a different report, let us know how it affects the different report - and also which reports you are viewing.

I managed to get it working a few minutes after I posted my last message on here. I was able to create a new database and it appeared to have worked.

Now for the malicious application, I don't physically see anything wrong. I will definitely run a scan again and see if anything happens. I do however know I have Botting software on this computer that is used for Magic the Gathering Online which I know the software includes malicious apps.

I haven't played online poker since I started botting on MTGO, which definitely gives it more of a reason to be the issue. I will look into this.

Hi, I play hu hypers and i'd like your help in creating a filter for calling a non-allin 3bet by me or villain.
The filters i have set are:
VPIP
Raised preflop any raise (i've also tried 2bet and 3bet)
Preflop called 3bet
3bet size between 2 and 6 BB (have tried diffrent sizes)

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Non-all-in 3bet is created by selecting Actions & Opportunities > Preflop > Raises > Raised All-In. Click add to filter, then select that filter group and click NOT.


To avoid times that you went all in while calling a 3Bet, select Actions & Opportunities > Preflop > Calls > Called All-In. Click add to filter, then select that filter group and click NOT.

Just pair these two filter options with your existing filters to accomplish your goals.

Thank you. Honestly I don't even understand the idea behind the Report section. Can you link me to a subforum? If I use a filter in a Report I make does that filter always stay on? Like if create a report with a specific filter and then go to the Graph section and use a filter will the filter from the Report tab affect the Graph filter?

It seems some of the filters aren't working or I just don't know how tu use them...
I've found an other way to set up the filters to show nai 3bs.
It seems the filter "3bet sizing" isn't working with some of the other filters, not sure why as they seem to not be in conflict
Also, the filter "Raised all in" used with NOT shows some hands where they raised me all in, but only when used with the filters mentioned above

We sugest you watch the Tutorial Videos built into PokerTracker 4, you can watch them in your browser as wll, but it is much simpler when reviewing inside of PT4 because you chose the report or window you need to learn more about, then click the green [?] to open the relevant video.

There are Main 4 components that can filter in PT4.

A) Global Filters (aka "More Filters...") - This is the main filter, and can affect all reports in PokerTracker 4. When you change reports, the filter will remain in place, this is the universal filter in PT4. The Quick Filter is a saved Global Filter which you can quickly apply by selecting it from the drop-down menu.

B) Simple Filters - This is series of commonly selected filters, the use of Simple Filters is applied globally on all reports provided that the report has access to that Simple Filter. Simple Filter functions are duplicated in the Global Filter, the two types of filters can be applied at the same time - and they can even conflict with one another if you select opposing ranges (AND logic is used).

C) Overview Report Drilling - In Overview Reports you can double click to drill down into groups to see additional data. In cash games the report can be grouped By Stake, By Position, By Session, or By Date. When you double click on any row in the report it will drill down into the next layer of data. When you drill down you are adding another layer on top of the existing Global and Simple Filters, therefore you should always start at the top level of the group, then add your Global or Simple Filters, then you can drill down into the group. Drilling will only affect the Overview Report and the graph displayed above the Overview Report, this filter will not be applied anywhere else.

D) Overview Report Graph - You can zoom into this graph to filter the report data below. As with C, it is best to apply your Global filters first before you Zoom in this report. It is possible to use a combination of Graph Zooming and Report Drilling at the same time, but there are some situations where you may lose the ability to display data if you are drilled down and then drill back up a level in the group. When this occurs, just unapply all the filters.


In a few areas such as LeakTracker's Leak Analysis report the Global Filters or cannot be used, you will know because the "More Filters...." button is greyed out. The same issue can occur with the Quick Filters, we remove the QuickFilter from the left hand of the report when it cannot be applied to a report.

There are also filters that can be saved with your My Reports, they are added to any Global & Simple Filters you have applied. If the filter inside of "My Reports" looks like a blue link, then it will be saved within the report for easy access in the future

I'm sorry, but your post was not clear enough, please elaborate and be specific when you respond. Please include the entire filter logic chain so we know what filters do not appear to be working when using the 3Bet sizing filters. You can copy the Currently Active filter logic by grabbing the text and then click CONTROL-C on Windows or COMMAND-C in Mac OS X; then paste. For example I was able to copy the text NOT (Raised All-In) from the filter in the screen capture below.

This are my filters:
((Voluntarily Put Money in Pot) AND (Raised Preflop Any Raise)) AND (Called Preflop Called 3Bet) AND (NOT (Raised All-In))

And here you can see a hand where villain shoved all in after my raise with the filters set

Hey pokertracker, love your software, do you know if there will ever be any fix for the anon tables on unibet without any numbers?
Is it possible to track tables that are basically like each other?

Your prior post was not clear (as you already know), but now I understand that you are looking for times where you raised preflop, then called a 3Bet but your OPPONENT was not all-in when he 3Bet.

Changes we need to make:

1) (Voluntarily Put Money in Pot) is not necessary, you can remove this from the filter. You cannot raise or call a 3Bet unless you VPIPed.
2) (Raised Preflop Any Raise) is also incorrect, you raised a 2Bet, so you should restrict it to the specific type of raise to avoid logic errors
3) Instead of the RAISE action for Raise All In that you used above, you should use the OPPORTUNITY for Faced All-In . This is found under Actions and Opportunities > Preflop Opportunities > Faced All-In.. Of course once you add this filter group be sure to NOT it.

The filter should be ((Raised Preflop Any 2Bet) AND (Called Preflop Called 3Bet)) AND (NOT (Faced All-In Preflop))

PS: Pro Trick - When making filters sometimes it is best to confirm the filter works by doing the opposite of what you intended to verify that the wrong hands are displayed, for example I saved the filter without the NOT first to make sure the hands displayed were where I called a 3Bet vs an opponent who went all-in after I 2Bet.
