I Love PokerTracker

So I've decided to take part in the public beta (free & open to all) of PokerTracker v3. It's a powerful data tool that tracks all your hands and sorts and mines the data for you to analyze not just opponents, but most importantly, your own game.

After 4 tabling it up the past two days (yay I know I am getting crazy), I have seen a couple of holes in my game. My VP$IP was really solid, as well was my Aggression factor, but my PFR (preflop raise) wasn't high enough, and I adjusted my play accordingly.

The results have been great. Yesterday and today I have seen a steady 10 to 13% ROI on my play, at the microstakes tables of .05/.10, which is a notch below where I regularly play. I'm playing there because I am not used to 4-tabling it up and not used to actually analyzing my play in such depth.

The program offers some amazing features, including 2 that I am absolutely in love with. The first is the hand replay, which lets you replay the hand in a mock video-replay mode, and the second is the automatic graphs that track your progress. It all puts my sad-sack Excel spreadsheet to shame.

I'll definitely be purchasing the program once it's out of beta, or perhaps I can swing a free copy from the developers in return for an in-depth review at our new poker site once it launches. Anyways, any smart poker player should invest in this program ... but I almost DON'T want to endorse it to keep the rest of the rounders online DUMB
