Poker Office v Poker Tracker

[GaF]

Ok - I've bought the full version of Poker Office. I had previously bought Poker Tracker. So now have both. Anyone else have both and able to make direct comparisons? My main motivation for getting Poker Office was for its support of Prima Tournaments which is lacking in Poker Tracker. It also supports iPlayer (Betfred) cash games, again lacking in Poker Tracker. My initial thought on PokerTracker is however one of disappointment. I hope it's just an unfamiliarity at this stage (and being used to how Pokertracker does things, but I suspect not). My main thoughts on the weaknesses of Poker Office so far, directly v Poker tacker are as follows: 1) Documentation. As yet there is no documentation for Version 2 of Poker Office. We are talking the basic "getting started" documentation. So operation of the program comes either from v 1 documentation or intuition!! Further, there are a number of guides (http://www.bet-the-pot.com./ is a very good example) and ebooks for more advanced use of PokerTracker. I have been unable to find any equivalent for PokerOffice. 2) File Management. With poker tracker, files are imported from your computers hard drive using an "auto detect" feture - no need to browse through and identify the files for the program. This does not exist on PokerOffice. You are required to know where the files are stored and direct the program to them (little help on this on the web site either). Further, a lot of the files aren't "recognised" and cannot be used. I say a "lot" - this has applied to all of those I've tried so far!!!!! Only the "live import" function seems to work for a lot of sites!!! 3) Stats - the availability of relevent live stats seems a lot less intuitive than with PokerTracker and Gametime+. Those stats which are provided are pretty basic and getting further information in the alloted time to make a decision seems pretty hard!!! Even "offline" the stats seem less in depth and less "data mineable". 4) Tourney Gears - Whilst Prima tourneys are supported in PO whilst not in PT, there is a HUGE weakness to the way they are dealt with in PO!! All stats and all stats for the current session are displayed, but what is not displayed are all stats at the current blinds!!!! This for me is essential at seeing a persons ability to "move through the gears", and what gear they may currently be in. Someones stats when the blinds are 10/20 and they have a stack of 1500 should not be lumped in with someones stats when the blinds are 250/500 and their stack is 1500!!!! PT has a little tick box to "only display stats at the current blinds" . This appears sadly missing in PO. So, at the moment Poker Tracker gets my clear vote!!! I'm hoping that there are some fans of PokerOffice out there who disagree with what I say and can put some arguments in its favour to try and persuade me of it's merits!!!! What advantages does PokerOffice have over PokerTracker?

Re: Poker Office v Poker Tracker No fans of Poker Office here? Ok - I'll try and stick up for it a little - one very nice feature it has that Poker Tracker doesn't..... PO updates during a hand, giving you offered pot odds and your odds of improving with the next card (and what that improvement is to).....a nice touch and you quickly get to learn the odds for various "draws".........at a glance you can see the value (or not) of a draw....
