If the pros are using PokerTracker to constantly track their game as well as their opponents, don’t you think you should too? PokerTracker is the best software for the job because it not only will record every online hand of poker that you play, but will sort those records in a neat database that will explain to you precisely how you are playing the game, but even better, will show you how your opponents play theirs. Here is how it works:
Detailed histories of all the hands that you play online are automatically stored on your hard drive by the poker rooms. PokerTracker will take those histories and import them into an easy-to-use database so you can compile statistics, which you can then analyze to help you play a better, more winning, hand of poker.
It will also allow you to profile your opponents and find and exploit weaknesses in their game. PokerTracker is also a great record keeping tool. It will tell you how many hands you have played, how much you won or lost, how many hours you have played, how much you are making per hour, and a number of other things. The most important aspect of the software is the statistical reporting.
You have probably wondered at some point how aggressively or passively, or how tight or loose you play. PokerTracker will give this information to you on your game and on all your opponents as well. It will tell you when you lose focus and when you begin playing too many hands, an aspect that you have probably not looked into before. You also probably are unaware of the number of times you checkraise, win at showdown, go to showdown, and a myriad of other worthwhile facets of your game that you should be paying attention to.
With this software you can look at and judge the performance of every type of starting hand that you have played. These hands can then be sorted by position so you can see the places where you are making money and those where you are losing. Obviously, you want to cut out the losing hands and play only the winners making you a more profitable (and more formidable) poker player. If you cannot look at a history tracking the hands you have played in what position, you also cannot tell which hands are making you money and which ones are costing you. Most of us remember the outstanding winners and the big losers, but it is the not so memorable hands in between that separate the professional poker player from the amateur. Don’t be an amateur.
