PT3 vs PT2 - Page 2

im with pt2 i hear heres problems with pt3's hud and i dont know how much u can customise it like pahud

They need to add back the HUD layout manger for those that really want to customize their hud. I can't find it in PT3 if it exists.

it doesn't. they said they would probably add it eventually

I still use PT2 after wobbly told me PT3 sucks salty hairy balls

PT2 is not slow at all as long as you have a decent computer

And pokerEV is not compatible with PT3 as well

the PT3 hud freezes your computer if you're playing more than like 6 tables.

maybe my computer is junk but im pretty sure thats not the case

you are aware you can set the transparency right? o_o


wow so many negatives about PT3... i guess im lucky then cuz i loooooove it

the part that tilts me the most is the black squares around the number, even when there is nothing they will appear.

pt3 sux pt2 cock imo. bought it a month ago, now i want to spit on it.

PT3 puts me on tilt. It crashes in the middle of the session for no reason, and i have to reboot the system to meke it work again! wtf how could they release such a unstable product.

you can change the font size in the HUD configuration.

Yeah, you can set the transparency, font size - EVERYTHING is configureable.

As for the layout - after you move the boxes where you want it in a table, there is a "PT" button on the top center -> choose save layout from a drop down menu there. After this, all the tables you open will have this layout.

Oh and moving the boxes is done by drag'n'dropping with right mouse button.

The update speed is very nice compared to PT2 and the only downside to using it (imo) is that it has occasionally crashed.

I noticed that PT3 only tends to crash when your stats checking your stats whilst importing, refreshing stats, looking at graphs etc. If you just leave it to do its thing its fine

just go without pt
ive played without pt or a hud for like 2 months now and i destroyed 25nl-100nl. you dont need pt or huds to be good.

fwiw, the only thing i care about is how much im making, which can easily be tracked by remembering your roll at the start of the session, and noting what it is at the end. dont really care much about winrates or saving every hand so i can make pretty graphs to tilt myself with later. imo poker tracker is a glorified tool that few ever use to its maximum capability.

PT3 HAS SO MANY BUGS ON VISTA, HOLY SHIT! Mine stops working ever 2 hours and i have to restart it. Also it sometimes displays stats on only 1/2 my tables, and I have to restart it again to display it on all tables. All in all it can be a good program as long as all the bugs are fixed.

I`m also using PT2, eventhought I bought PT3. To many bugs with the Hud. My stats keep appearing and dissapearing randomly and it gets laggy when you play more then 4tables on PS. Also, I hate that they didn`t incorporate a memory scanner, like in Pahud to be able to see stats for players in your database, before actualy sitting down at a PS table. Game selection is a piece of cake with Pahud, but sucks with PT3.

Hopefully they fix these issues with future updates.

Bigbobm, it's prolly possible to beat those stakes without seeing any cards too. PT has very little to do with it.

PT is a great tool for analyzing your game and an awesome aid when multitabling. It doesn't substitute skill, but it can increase your edge on these stakes when the player base is huge and you don't necessarily remember all your encounters.

Knowing your winrate is mostly just telling you how well you're crushing the stakes which is a good indicator when planning on moving up.

I use XP myself and have very little trouble with PT3.

anyone here who thinks the hud looks different, you do realize it takes about 10 minutes to set the hud in pt3 exactly in it was with pt2

no, it doesn't.

and I don't mean it doesnt take 10 mins I mean it doesn't look the same.
