BTW - Do you know of any decent tourney poker tracker software ?

If you're talking about play management/analysis software, there's really only 3. HM, PT3 and PokerOffice. I haven't used PO so couldn't give an opinion. As to HM and PT3, I don't think it's rocket science to say that HM comes from a cash background and PT3 has a tourney background. Just using the two programs for 30 minutes makes that distinction very clear. Don't forget that both programs are trying to cover a huge scope and that any minor shortfalls should be taken in stride.

I'm not trying to tell you how to suck eggs, but tourney play is all about what you do preflop. Cash play is more concerned with action across all streets. So, if tourney play is so biased to pre-flop action, what then are the two main questions tourney players need tracking software to answer... Did I do it right (in that instance), and am I doing it right (in all instances)?

That means I need to know some essentials like "did I get my chips in the pot with the best hand pre-flop" and "what is my VPIP/PFR/AF for each style of tourney".

PT3 can answer one of those questions straight off the bat and partially answer the other. HM can not answer either, imo. Hopefully, with some of the ideas put forward in this thread, HM will answer both questions, and more.

Edit: I forget to mention HUDs. I've been experimenting lately with not running a HUD during a tourney (cash game guys would have a heart attack at the thought of not having a HUD... just go read the thread(s) on Rush poker) and to be honest I didn't miss it.

Strangely enough ~ speaking as a cash player I'm using less HUD stats (down to 4 inc. abb name & # hands) & more (much more) the notes & pop ups when a new guy joins the table - But then I regard 3 tables at once as mass multi-tabling

Villain betting patterns (what does it mean when they raise 4bb?) & who to tilt (or reassure) by showing my cards is best handled in the notes. I'm not sure all this is of value in tourneys though given the huge player base

For me Rush poker is like folk music, golf or religion - it's fine as long as it's not compulsary for me to get involved

Ok numbnuts... get your azz over here and clean the coffee off my monitor!

But I agree... the HUD is becoming less important to my game.

Filter by tournament type and buyin please. As PokerTracker does.

[UWjoe]

filter stats by blind level ranges for sngs

so for 45 mans i want to filter <100-200 bbs 100-200+antes-400-800 and 600-1200+



toggle hud stats on/off icon

i prefer to play earlygame hudless 90% of the time and at some stacksize/blind level (which varies slightly game to game) id like to toggle the hud on

currently the default is to turn the hud on automatically for new tables and id prefer to be able to set my default to be the opposite and have a quick handy way of activating a hud when it becomes usefull (looking at 20 TID#s and trying to find the one table i want to activate the hud for is not practical)





in the reports tab would it be possible to filter MY stats based on BUY IN or DATE RANGE or # of tables (MT RATIO) and or blind levels


wondering if theres a way to check how/if ive changed my gameplay during difering periods for specific sngs (largely to help myself plug leaks i naturally aquire as i add more tables to my sessions and lose roi%s)




the ability to create a custom limp/fold% stat that can be set to only include hands from a specific blind level or above. the same stat wiht a chance to filter for stack size ranges would be helpfull too

Let's get this fixed How to filter HU SNGs vs a specific player?

See Fozzy's comments itt.

I would like to be able to see individual graphs for number of tables I play simultaneously - basically a visual representation through time of the multitabling option in Stats tab (+ trending of this).

This way I will be able to see how my roi/itm etc alters based on number of tables I play - so how does my 6 tabling graph look through time versus say my 12 tabling graph (the 6 versus 12 would not necessarily need to be seen within the same graph is this is unfeasible but at least to be able to switch from one to another would be great).

This could be done by simply adding a multitabling drop down box within the tourney results filters section.

Thanks.

To be able to filter for last x number of games (could be in bottom section where u have last x number of hands etc). Currently if I want to see what my performance is over the last 500 games, say, I need to play around with the dates until I approximate that number of games.

Thanks.

I'm only three pages in so apologies if this has been suggested at the end of this thread. (I searched for "tags" and didn't see it.)

Count me as +1, although it sounds like this has made the cut.

However, I'd suggest you implement this stuff partially via user-defined tags, not just hard-coded predetermined categories. Apparently Poker sites (especially Stars) have the ability to invent new tourney formats faster than any of us can keep up with them.

Here are some of the formats I would like to tag and track:

sats and super sats - others have mentioned these - especially the token sats on FT that have a fixed structure.

ante up tourneys on Stars, a bizarre structure with fixed blinds and increasing antes.

huge add-on tourneys on Stars - e.g. $5 rebuy $25 add-on.

Point is, Stars (in particular) is going to keep inventing these formats, so I need the flexibility to tag them in ways that makes sense to me. Perhaps the UI could somehow suggest preexisting tags (even ones that ship with the product) to the user and allow simple creation of a new one if none of the existing ones is desired.

To be able to view profit per game alongside roi/itm stats both in the tourney results filters global section and in the stats tab section (multitabling, daily, monthly etc).

Thanks.
