Hey guys! Ive been using PT4 for a few weeks now, after realizing how much of an edge other players had on me by viewing my stats.. I always had to make manual notes, which not only take precious time, during which the action in happening (I abbreviate but I do try to put down everything I could grasp from a certain player or maybe even two at once) but you also need to play or watch quite a few hands from an opponent before pinning them down.. This is one of the reasons I dont like multitabling, because often I even have to fold a hand preflop because Im busy writing something down.. still do so a little, but less now that I have the stats to see.
So, I have a couple of questions, and would also like to contribute and get feedback on something.
First, I realize sometimes a player will come into the table and I know Ive played him a few days before, like 20 hands, be it in the same format or another (cash games, SNG, mtt), but Pokertracker wont show them to me, it seems like it begins from 0 again. I tried searching online, first in pokertrackers forum then on reddt and so on.. They say there is a date filter to turn off, but I can never find it.. There is a stacksize filter, but its off (I provided a screenshot at the end of the post).
Second thing, took me a while to get the basic hold of tweaking the HUD.. I still have only a marginal understanding, and so I got the idea of improving from an already existent one, after searching a while for downloadable customized HUDs I set for BlackRains (I dont know if I can mention his full username, but I would gladly post the link to his .pt4 HUD which wasnt all that easy to find, if Im allowed). He has a lite version and a more complete version, I chose the one with fewer numbers so I dont get dazzled with too much information Im not yet prepared to handle.. But I understand that the best ones are the simplest ones, usually with color-coded suffixes that tell you faster if in a determined stat they fair HIGH, LOW or MED with red green and blue, instead of 14% 37% 80%. Ive watched a few streaming players in YT like Majinboob, but I havent gotten around to finding a link to download his HUD, and in fact, all the other HUDs I tried were way too complicated, extense, and hard to tweak down to what I wanted. I really like being able to see stats by position, but I dont know how that could ever fit my screen, alas it be minimized and then pop-upped.
So.. If you guys want to share which HUDs you prefer, or if we can post links here to try them out..
Ill be posting a screenshot of mine, with a quick description:
