Poker Tracker / Poker Office - Useful, worth the expenditure ?

[jeffster]

Have read the thread on Poker Tracker / Poker Office..... I didnt know such programs existed, and having looked at the relevant websites, I would say Poker Office looks the better of the two. My question is, Are these programs useful / successful at what they are supposed to do, as in helping you improve your play via statistical analysis, and ultimately, are they a "nice little earner" in helping to make your poker profitable ? Any thoughts / advice appreciated...

Re: Poker Tracker / Poker Office - Useful, worth the expenditure ? IMO if you are a cash player (on a site that supports them) then they are essential if you are serious about improving your game........ Tournaments I would say they aren't worth it. (because the dynamics of how people play changes too much - but cash games, players are so much more static and consistent) Best bet is to try them - Poker Tracker works free for 1000 hands and poker office works free for 300 hands........ With poker tracker, make sure you get gametime+ (free) which overlays live stats onto the game window for your opponents. Look at the articles here - www.bet-the-pot.com - for some great Poker Tracker info I also have a pdf book on poker tracker somewhere which I can get across to you......
