Can you explain $ EV on the cash sessions table? How is it calculated and what does it actually mean? Please move this post if its in the wrong section.

Can I use HM on two computers,paying once?

[fozzy71]

Yes.

Should I try to keep the number of hands in a single database under some number?

[fozzy71]

The only real concern is your HD size and free space. There are users with 10+ million hand DBs. You should definitely do regular maintenance - vac/analyze, defrag HD, and I would recommend turning off the SQL logging collector (this can contain a lot of logs = wasted HD space) and possibly performance tuning SQL.

If you want help turning off the logging collector please make a new thread and I will help you.

Thanks. Is there any way I can tell how many hands are in a database if they aren't my hands?

There are a few ways. This one is educational

Open pgAdmin, doubleclick the "localhost server" so the red X goes away. Select your HM database in the treeview.

Do "Tools -> Query Tool" (or click the "SQL" icon in the toolbar).

enter this in the top section of the query window:

SELECT COUNT(pokerhand_id) as hands FROM handhistories;

Then do "Query -> Execute" (or click the "play" icon, or hit F5).
It will grind the disk for a little then spit out a number in the lower pane of the query tool if all has gone well

Hey guys, just a quick question:

How long does the licence last? Is it unlimited? Does it include possible upgrades in the future (only within the feature-set you payed for ofc).

I had a poker office subscription, so I guess I'm a bit scarred in that respect... More of a recreational player, so paying every year is kind of unappealing to me.

Cheers,

Seb

One time fee. There are no yearly upgrade or renewal fees. You should be able to get numerous years of use from it. Much the same way people were able to use PT2 for soo long before PT3 came out.
