Poker Tracker 4 Features
In the essence, this poker program is an analogue and the main competitor of Holdem Manager 3. Their all functions are almost identical. There are small differences that are not so important for those who have never used this software.
Among the advantages over HM3, there is a possibility to set additional modules free of charge.

Supported games: cash games, MTT, Sit&GO, Spin&Go, fast poker (ZOOM, BOOST and etc.); No-Limit, Pot-Limit, Fixed-limit; Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Low.
The Poker Tracker 4 install process is really simple. This program starts working in parallel with your poker room. It imports the previously played hands, as well as ones during your game. The history of played hands is analyzed and the necessary information is displayed at the tables in accordance with the pre-configured HUD.
In addition to your played hands, you can also download the ones in which you didn’t participate (so called mining).
PokerTracker 4 functionalities:
- Collecting, storage and analyses of all played hands;
- Analyses of opponents’ play;
- Statistics output on every player in a real-time mode;
- Calculation of stacks;
- A lot of stats indicators;
- The tables of game results;
- Additional modules with irreplaceable functionalities;
- And many other things.
Let's review in detail some of PT4 functionalities.
- Improved HUD. In online mode, the hands’ review and their marking is available. During the game, the chip account in the big blinds is displayed and you can filter the effective stacks in tournaments, choosing between the statistics of a separate table and the general one. There is also a drag-n-drop functionality that gives an opportunity to create the user's HUD (a set of statistical parameters, transparency, colors, etc.) a lot faster than before. Furthermore, you can create your own pop-ups.
- Statistics. Here are many functions and several hundred indicators. In addition to the given options, the player can create his own formula and even add it to HUD.
- Reports' creation. It is an excellent tool for making informative reports for each game situation. Any document can be configured and saved. By the way, the reports can be displayed both in the form of tables and graphs.
- Filters. The report can be detailed with the help of a filter. For example, it can be sorted by the hands set from the database, by the players’ actions on the river, etc. To optimize the processes, “quick filters” are provided. The function is significantly improved compared to the previous version and filtering is simple and logical.
- Graphs. Poker Tracker 4 has many great and indispensable graphs. It is worth paying attention to Custom Scatter Graphs, which help to filter statistics by viewing the players from different points of view. Among the built-in ones, there are also options for analyzing pot size, hand strength, statistics of losers and winners.
- Luck bell curve. Visualization will help to find out how often the player gets the necessary outs.
