I currently using HM when playing holdem, and PTO for omaha.
HM is planning to add omaha support, but that is months off at least. PokerEV when/if it releases public beta, will support holdem and omaha both. Free Poker Database (FPDB) is a new, open source tracker, that will support both, as well as draw games. FPDB is very early alpha builds still.

Just out of curiosity, I'm interested in purchasing PTO from the pokertracker site. However, I am currently playing NLHE and am running Hold'em Manager. I've seen on the PT forums that some people have had issues running PTO and PT3 simultaneously. Fozzy, have you had any issues with running HM and PTO at the same time or do you run them separately? If I'm not mistaken, PTO uses a microsoft access DB and HM uses postgres. I have noticed that if I mix tables (say, 8 NLHE and 2 PLO) while running HM that my PLO hand histories will get moved to my HM processed folder so I will have to manually move those and force import into PTO. Is the easiest route just playing NLHE OR PLO and running the necessary software while playing only one type of table? Is there any way to run PTO and HM at the same time and will the hand histories get moved to the correct 'processed' folder after the correct software has processed them?

I never played NLHE and PLO at the same time, so I have no clue. I used SQL 8.2 for my PTO DB and SQL 8.3 for my HM DB.
