My first test of PT3 beta a couple problems talked about.

[ChicagoRED]

I did have trouble setting up the 4th-6th place finishes but not the biggest deal right now, I am sure I will get it figured out with Josh, he has been a big help so far. So without having that setup I went ahead to test it out on one sng, I could not wait. It would have been more but I had a couple problems.

The first problem I was having was with the HUD overlay on the table, when I had my table at the normal size the HUD overlay was covering up the players name and chip amount that was on the left of me in the 6-max tourney. Also the HUD overlay was way off even when I made the screen to it's largest size. The Hud for the player to the right of me was all the way by the player to the left of me. That was the top player to the right, the bottem player to the left the HUD was right in front of me almost, it covered up the amount of my BB & SB, not the biggest deal in the world but it did kinda bother me. The player to the left his Hud over lay was the one that would cover the bottom lefts chip stack on the normal way I have my table, on full screen mode it just was accross the bottom players avitar. No matter how I changed the size of the table the hud was off, at the smaller size it was way off, the lager size still off. Screen shot below of the HUD overlay.

The second problem I had was with my Stats Under the General Tab In player details I have nobody in The Ailases box under screen name & no Icons. I guess I can edit it and add the players in there one buy one, but it should be auto, this would be a pain if I had to do this after playing 50 Sng's in a day. The other thing was in player summary, it tracked the tourney buy-in amount but it did not track where I finished. I finished this test sng in 1st place but it did not pick that up, also it did not pick up that I won money in that sng, so my ROI was in Red. So I did enter it in manual what I won, it did fix itself, except it still did not track that I came in first place. I also put that in manual but it did not help. Also I have nothing on the Graph tab, maybe one game is to little for a graph, but you think it would show a little green line.

I am a little new to the whole poker software thing, so maybe I do not have this setup right, but in the quick start it just said to click auto import.

I am sure all this is fixable, maybe I just dont have something setup right, so it may not be all the softwares fault. On the plus side of things I really do like everything this software has to offer, I also like the stats that it tracks. I already see this will be a great tool once setup, and all the bugs are worked out.

FeedBack Idea: It would be nice to see the games numbered with the most recent game numbered then decending down to the first game ever played. It would be good under the tourney tab or even the genral tab. Just so one has an idea of where there results are after how many games played, or just to even review the last 25 games played. I think the number feature would be nice.

FeedBack Idea: When I first tryed the trail on pokertracker back in the day, I did not know to much about online poker. Or for that fact I was not as software savey as I am know at this point in time. When I first downloaded the original pokertracker I could not get it to pick up the hands I was playing, someone on a online forum did try to explain how to do it, but I never got it. That turned me off of poker software for about 3-4 years. This time it picked up all the hands right a way so I was happy with atleast that. So the next Idea is just keep things simple. I can see how & why the serious poker players have this as a tool. But you are leaving out a whole market of beginners who may try and buy this product who just know how to install and run a program. Like just for me to add a 4th place finish takes some effort, I dont mind it because it is a stat that I want. But the simple people with not that much computer know how may have a hard time with this. Just a thought.

Keep up the great work guys, I cant wait to try and buy the finished product. If you have any Ideas on how to correct some of the problems I had above, I would really like to do more testing and give more feedback on the product.

I am a little short on time but regarding your first problem, simply left click and drag the stats to a new location :)

I will address the rest of your post when I return.

Best regards,

I lot of your issues have to do with the fact that PT3's Hud isn't recognizing Full Tilt's 6 max tournament tables as 6 max. The next release will allow you to tell it that the table is 6 max.

The second problem I had was with my Stats Under the General Tab In player details I have nobody in The Ailases box under screen name & no Icons.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that first part. You won't have any aliases set unless you set them up yourself. Just today I added a new function to the Tournaments -> Enter Results window that will automatically populate the finish and amount won of single table SnGs. You can also filter the list so it's not showing every tournament in your database. That should make life much easier for you SnGers.

We appreciate your suggestions. Our goal is to make PT3 as simple to use as possible. For example, PT3 will automatically detect your hand history directories and certain settings that influence how the Hud works (like Auto-Center and Preferred Seats). Custom stats are a more advanced feature and will be thoroughly documented.

The first part what I ment was shouldnt the other players be in that aliases box, and have a Icon by them. Or does that all have to be done manual?

[Josh]

Aliasing is used to combine multiple screennames from different sites under one player. This is not done automatically, because PT3 has no way of knowing what players to alias. This is entirely done manually.

Oh ok, I was just way off on this, since it showed a Icons tab above, I just figured thats where the oppoinents went and were Iconed as to what type of player they were, I guess I did not figure that out yet. You answered about the HUD, and the tourney cash, what about 1st 2nd and 3rd, why did it not show I finished first after the sng. Is there something I have to setup?

[Josh]

I'm not sure about your stat. If you submitted a support ticket, I've not yet had a chance to check it out. I will get to it soon though.

simply left click and drag the stats to a new location :)

with the new versions of PT3 you can no longer move the stats where you want them; and they still cover my name and stack size. please help

[WhiteRider]
