Got PokerTracker

[PShabi]

Nevermind, I tried to look and it is confusing for Stars.

Anyway, open stars and click on options.

Go to "instant hand history" and select "save to my hard drive" or whatever.

Select folder to save it to.

Open PT, click on the lightning bolt on toolbar.

make sure it says "look for files on my pc."

select "all text files in folder"

select configure and browse to select the file you specified at Stars.

Click OK and it should be on and poppin.

The pokertracker update killed my pick-me-up.

I'm sure this is a real stuid question - but - do u need to have Pokertracker up and running while ur playing for it to put the hand histories in ?

[MathBabe]

If the hand histories are getting saved on your hard drive (like pshabi's instructions above) then the next time you open up PokerTracker it will import the hand histories.

I always have it running so it will rate the people I'm playing against during the game.

How do u have it auto rate players while it is going on?

[JDMcNugent7]

Also - how does PT handle tournies ??? Do i have to do something extra with tournament summaries or something ?

Get some auto rate stats for your primary game, and put them on (PT guide will help a lot with this stuff btw), then as you auto import they are automatically rated.

I don't use PT for tourneys, I don't think they can be auto imported though, I'm pretty sure that you have to have them e-mailed to a POP3 adress and read automatically or you have to copy and paste the histories into a wordpad doc, which is very very tedious. Maybe someone else knows a better way.

If you want to have it auto-importing them in real time, then yes.

If not. You can just go back later and use the "import" feature (as opposed to "auto-import"). Manually select the hand history file and it's imported in a few minutes.

The advantage to having the auto-import going is big for me as a multitabling limit player. I don't use PT in real time when I play NLHE, btw.
