JeffreyGB's Poker Tracker Guide
Poker Tracker is a Windows based computer program that allows you to analyze your online Texas Holdem
poker play. Poker Tracker stores and summarizes hand history data that can be downloaded from your online
poker site, and can then be analyzed to learn more about how your are playing.
Poker Tracker is an excellent software program for tracking and analyzing your poker play through
gathering poker data from your saved poker hand histories.
Poker Tracker will not save the poker hand information for you; the hand histories are available from
the online poker room directly. But once you have the data, there's no better way to analyze the information.
From the Poker Tracker website:
What does Poker Tracker have to offer?
Poker Tracker allows you to track your ring game and tournament play on multiple poker sites. Do you have an account on Paradise Poker, Poker Stars, etc.? No problem, Poker Tracker will allow you to import hand histories from each site and store them in the same database. Don't worry if your screen names are not the same either, Poker Tracker has a way to let you to combine the stats from multiple sites.
Poker Tracker allows you to track your starting hands and with the various hand combinations see how many times you:
1) See the flop
2) Raise
3) Win money
4) And much more!
Poker Tracker allows you to track your play by position. You can see how many times you call under the gun, from the cut-off, etc. Look at the amount of money you win by position. You can also see how you play short-handed or with a full table.
Poker Tracker allows you to track your play by session/tournament.
Poker Tracker allows you to track your hand results. You can see how many times you got a flush, full-house, etc. and how much money you made with each hand.
Poker Tracker allows you to track your best and worst opponents. Find out whom you've won the most money from and who has won the most money from you.
Poker Tracker allows you to track every player you have ever played against and keep detailed notes on each player. You can see how often they see the flop, raise pre-flop, check-raise, win at showdown and much more.
