Hi, I have watched many of the videos and they all are great, they have really improved my play.

I have seen different stats tracking software being used and before I buy one I would like your recommendations on which one is generally accepted as the best one(s).

I am playing the micro stakes .05/.10 at PokerStars and I've become comfortable winning at that level mainly due to your excellent videos. I'd like to go to the next level but I want a great stat program before I do.

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

i have both poker tracker and holdem manager
i like hm much better
easier and simpler to customize my hud and better filter capability for hand history databases

i never use pt anymore

Definitely Holdem Manager.

I tried PT3 for their trial period. It had some gliches that I had a hard time getting worked out. It seems though, that it is much the same as Holdem Manager which I now have. The thing that set Holdem Manager apart for me was the support element. I had a problem when I first installed it and within 24Hrs they had me up and running.

Holdem Manager also has some very nice features that I think PT# does not have. They have a leak buster built into it including a series of 8 articles to take you through it and guide you in analyzing your stats etc.

I use it on 2 different sites and it works great on both.

Over all though, I think the main difference for me was the support I got when I need help.

good point on support,
i had a lot of Vista related issues when i installed HM, HM support did a remote link to my computer and fixed all the issue, i would probably still be messing with it if the HM support hadnt been so helpful

Thanks everyone.

I tried to install HM twice with no success, the PostgreSQL software has turned into a nightmare for me, even though I already have it installed for PokerTracker3..hmmm.

After my second try somehow PostgreSQL created a new user account on my computer that is password protected which I didn't like at all
It also messed up and turned off my firewall's anti-spyware softare and I can not get it fixed... grrrrrrr.

I have Vista so I guess I'll have to try hockeyguy's solution and contact HM support do it for me. Wish me luck.

I am not really wanting to uninstall my firewall and virus software to get the program to work, again since I didn't have to do it before for PT3. I don't understand the problem since I do still have PostgreSQL 8.3 still installed on my computer.

Again, thanks to everyone that replied and at least I know I'm not the only one that has/had a problem getting it installed.

Good luck and may you be the giver of bad beats rather than the reciever!

i do suggest contacting HM, because vista is such a mess, when i installed hm on second computer all i had to do was disabled user account controls
UAC and boom it ran. The password deal with sql is a onetime thing, i just set up new database per hm FAQs and all went well. but the vista thing is a mystery to me

gl hope it gets sorted out for you soon

Yes - definitely just contact HEM support, they are very solid and should be able to help you get PostgresSQL running properly with Vista.

i know that holdem manager is the best tracking software and i plan on gettin it soon.But Has any1 ever used pokeredge?? i recently came across their website and noticed that u can use it free for 5 days trial. Any1 ever use it or have an info on it?? it looks very similar to holdem manager.I'm sure not as good but just curious on ur guys thoughts.

Outstanding loyal, juicyc

i tried poker edge 3 or 4 years ago, my memory says it was more of a datamining type thing that worked with my old pokerace HUD, at least back then. i just remember i didnt use it long as it didnt seem to be an "edge"
it may have changed since then, but thats what i know/knew about PE
