Dumb PA-Hud Question

Can you get players numbers to pop-up during tourneys or only on cash tables?

Invigilator · #2 05-22-07, 12:18 AM

works for both.

K, thanks... gotta go figure out how to get it to pop-up for tourneys.

I think it should do this automatically if you are auto-importing the HHs. It should see the tables though...

I am auto-importing, it's not seeing them though. Strange.

Edit: what is the program talking about when it says you need the "Tournament Summary"? Perhaps that's what's wrong?

Hmm... they're up on AP now but never came up on Stars.

I ran into this too. Tournament summary (I think) has to do with PT being able to track buy-in, field, etc. It tells me this because I did not request these stats for my early tournaments.

I only set up the HUD a few weeks ago, so I am no expert, but when I set it up with the default method described in the help section, it worked for whatever table was up, be it ring game or tournament.

My very dumb counter question: Do you have the full version registered? It took me a couple of days to realize that the trial will only work on one table at a time.

ok here it is,

for full tilt at least you have to create your own summary in order to get the pokertracker database to be correct. Just follow those links I posted and it will show you exactly what you have to do. Basicly you just have to enter your name, how many people in tourney, buy in etc etc etc so it can track for you your ROI and stuff like that. You can not use the auto fill in option or everyone who played a hand in that tourney will show up and you will have to put a finish and a amount won in each of their spots and that could take a long long while.

if you are using this for sit and gos its not that bad entering 9 numbers but if you use it for MTTs it could take a while to enter say like 1000 entries.

For stars you can request a tournament summary and not sure how that works maybe someone with stars can figure it out.

the part I dont like is the fact that when you put in the stats on the manual entry those tounaments do not get filed somewhere they stay on that screen. So you have to go looking for your tourney when you want to enter your stats, I figure they could find a better way to do this. Im going to browse the pokertracker forum now to see if anything has been said about this.
