I haven't tried PT3 as the reports from it were that it was fairly buggy, although this was a while ago. Holdem manager is excellent, a big step up from PT2

Have a read of this for comparisons

Holdem manager. It does everything you'll ever need.

How much space do these take up? How large does the database get if you log 1000's of hands?

HiCloy

Mine is 6GB and I have a good few mined hands (not sure how to find out how many, but I have 18000 recorded players, and over 100k hands on some players). Some reports take a while to load but fast enough. If it's only your own hands size won't be a problem

HM for me and it's not even close

disaster!! have bought holdem manager. have downloaded the software and am working through the step by step guide to get it set up.

step 1 - done
step 2 - done
step 3 - "load holdem manager and do x" ERROR MESSAGE!!! you cannot run holdem manager. consult with holdem manager website, they talk about installing "postgresql-8.3.msi" so i download that, ERROR MESSAGE!!! "this installation package could not be opened, verify that the package exists and that yuou can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"


ugh... attempt number 4 after work! x 10

ditpoker

click the holdem manager icon and... "An error occured while loading the Prefs file: Could not find part of the path "C:/program files/rvg software/holdem manager/config/prefs"

sigh!!!!!

the postgres is an msi file. You have to run the set up file.
Download from here: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=%2Fbinary%2Fv8.3.4%2Fwin32%2Fpostgresql-8.3.4-1.zip


PS - uninstall any other version of postgres you have first

Hey sorry to bump an old thread,
but can someone check if they can download hold em manager, the flash site is acting up for me only allowing me to click on certian things.

I can get to the download page but when I click to download anything on the page it wont work for me.

Thanks.

newbie2

Have you got HM open when you're trying to download?

shoutman

Nope don't have it installed on my computer at all, I don't even get a popup with the option to download it, just wondering if it is a problem with the site or just with my side of things
http://www.holdemmanager.net/

thanks again.

I just had a look and was able to download the update? Have you maximised the website? It is a bit 'flashy' for my liking. You have to maximise it then goto downloads - which you probably done.

shoutman

Yea tried that, will give it a go in internet explorer now, and yea it seems like they are trying to be cool kids or something, the sound whenever you go over anything is quite annoying.

Yep worked in ie. Thanks for checking anyway newbie2.

newbie2

you're clicking on this and gtting nothing?

EDIT: good man

erica1985

Its great that you can use both for free, Im still in the trial version for Poker Tracker 3, I have time to decide if I need to buy one of these.

newbie2

I used PT3 for the full 40 days trial or whatever and decided to go for HM. I used the 14 day trial and decided to go for it. A lot more stable IMO. Slightly more in depth too...

tipp86

Is holdem manager worthwhile if playing sit and gos?

Jesus Wept

would like to use HM, but it doesn't seem to work for many sites. bah.

applehunter

What about the Omaha version.

Is this any good?
