Holdem Manager or pokertracker 3? both free, which is the better piece of kit?

In my case a new brain is required ....

PT3 imo

[CrizzyConnor]

Poker Tracker 3 is basically as close to an industry standard for Hold "em tracking as you can get but I know A LOT of people are now switching to Hold "em Manager - I personally know 3 close friends who swore by Poker Tracker but say Hold "em Manager blows it out the water now, add that to a bunch of online aquaintences who say the same.

I don"t use tracking software but considering getting Hold "em Manager soon and have just downloaded Poker Tracker Omaha...

Where you getting Hold "em Manager for free? Is it legally free or off something like Pirate Bay? As far as I know PT3 is $55 and Hold "em Manager is $79...

I have recently obtained holdem manager and managed to get the hud working.  As i am not an IT wizard grateful if  someone out there be able to help me. 

Although I am gathering data on the people at tables which I am playing, I am not collecting any on tables which I have open but am not sat at.  Is this normal or am I missing something?  I would have thought that HM would gather stats from any open tables.  Perhaps this is the case and the data is stored somewhere in the depths of my hard drive waiting me to seek it out and feed it into HM.

Grateful for any help on this issue and any other tips with regard to best using HM.  It has soooo many options!!

Thanks in advance.

All the best,

Dave

I use PT3 but the principle is the same for the issue you discuss here. You only get information from tables that you are playing at. To get information from other tables (whether open or not) is known as datamining. Most sites consider this illegal as you are getting information you would not normally have through playing with someone. I haven"t tried datamining but I think additional software is required for specific sites.

Thanks for the info.  Just been doing some google research and come to the same conclusion. Guess I will just have to grind out a dbase.

As there is so much info available on HEM, does anyone have details of a site that informs how best  to use the info. The HEM "how to do it" area is very basic and mainly appears to make statements of the obvious.  Guess I am looking for info on HEM strategy and experiences of use of the data, how best to get reads on players, which values give what info etc.

The advice for beginners appears to be keep it simple but with so much data available there must surely be some gems out there.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Check out the poker officer forum (poker officer is just for pkr).  The forum has very basic details on how to use each of the stats.
