Nitrub:

Yes, it will.

Do you plan on making LiveTracking available for SNGs and MTTs ?

thanks

(Y), must buy for me then

Since MArch 2009 it's under LGPL 2.1. which means it's open for comercial use.

You have the ability to view table session stats or lifetime stats for each opponent at the table. When you are viewing Table Session Stats a thin border appears around the table group to make it evident that you are viewing table session stats for the player. This can be done individually by right clicking on the table HUD group for the opponent, by double the table HUD group for the opponent, or via a master switch for the entire table inside the PT4 HUD icon shown on each table.

PokerTracker gets hands for the database and HUD via the text hand histories stored on your local computer by the online poker room. Every poker site operates differently, but generally this information is stored after the hand is complete. We do not track hands as each action takes place, all tracking occurs after the hand is complete.

PokerTracker supports over 20 poker sites and networks, in theory we could do some "trickery" to determine what is happening in the hand as it is occurring rather than wait for the hand history to be saved on a few poker sites - but it is not feasible to implement for each network, and the risk of this breaking after a poker client update is very high. As a policy we don't add new features unless we can do so across all of the networks we support, we treat each network fairly and equally to the best of our abilities.

the best option would be ability to choose between session stats and regular stats for all tables via 1 option, that would be so good and save a lot of mouse clicking

We chose this option because many users hide the PokerTracker 4 application while they are playing, and also because each table is designed to be autonomous. Its is the best compromise of the options available, but we admit it is a compromise.

If pt4 could do this that would be awesome. If it can't I'm just putting forward the idea in the hopes that one day it might happen

You can change hud profile (for single table) when sitting at the table, so what you are asking can easily be done already.

Correct, and this was also possible in PokerTracker 3.

In PokerTracker 4 we added the ability for the HUD profiles to be pre-assigned in the interface as shown below, this will automate the initial HUD profile choice which can of course be overwritten at the table manually. You can also create an automated profile selection for the built in hand replayer.

Does this autoselector also differentiate between 2 6 or 9 players when they sit at full ring table and set appropriate hud or just detects table type based table size?

It is based on the table size rather than number of players.

Any idea when PT4 will be available for mac?

Our developers predict a few months after the commercial release of the Windows version. The additional coding needed to create the Mac version is not as complicated. There are a few HUD related things included in the Windows version that cannot be done on in OSX due to restrictions in the operating system, but otherwise the OS X version will be exactly the same.

Q: If I buy the PC version of PT4 first and then ditch my PC and switch all my gear to a mac would I need to buy a new PT4 mac license (to run it natively) when in comes out a few months later?

No - PokerTracker licenses are equally valid on Mac or Windows. You can use your license on two computers at once, and they can be any combination of Mac and Windows. If you stop using one computer you can then use the license on another.

How resource intensive is PT4? Does it use more resources than PT3, HEM1 or HEM2? Thanks.

PT4 is still in Beta and will likely be optimized before (and after) commercial release - we ask that comparisons with other products not be made until the commercial release because things are still subject to change.

The minimum and recommended specs have not been released yet (for the reasons above). I expect them to be a little higher than they were for PT3 as technology has moved on significantly since PT3 was released, but although PT4 is storing more detail in the database at import time and has a more advanced HUD display (for example) performance should be roughly equivalent between PT3 and PT4 on the same system.

Can you elaborate on this? What new features or behaviors will be missing?

i cant wait any longer please hurrry guys hurry!!!1

We should wait for the PT4's OSX specific additions are developed before we start to answer questions like this, it is too early to know for sure. We develop PokerTracker in C++, then compile for Windows or OSX accordingly, with Windows being our primary testing platform followed by OSX development after the Windows specific components are complete. But I can share a brief list of features that were not included in PT3 for OSX due to operating system or some other restriction that we could not easily work around:

1) Rush Poker live HUD
2) TableTracker's table opener tool
3) Memory Grabber (worked prior to Lion)
4) Party and OnGame required the player to use the web based Instant Play client, this may change by the time PT4 is released thanks to close relations with the networks as they roll out native applications.

- TT

I am sorry if this has been covered before in this thread but will PT4 include a much needed cont. bet stat for streets filtered by in/out of position?

coming soon when?

Yes. All postflop stats will be able to be filtered by in or out of position.

As soon as it's ready it will be released - we don't want to rush our release and have there be problems for everyone on release day.
