Just Another Fish

I’m finding my newly purchased Poker Tracker and PA HUD very useful, but am running into a problem: PA HUD stops refreshing.

That’s basically it; the stats stop being updated and parts of the overlay dissappear (presumably because it is no longer being refreshed; if the table window is minimised and restored then no overlay is shown at all). Closing and re-opening HUD (and sometimes Tracker, too) usually cures the problem, albeit only temporarily.

Additional notes:

I use PokerStars, and the problem appears to be worse on tournament tables.

Disabling the cache and using the PokerStars’ instant hand history seem to improve matters slightly.

Occasionally the table I’m playing will stop appearing in the PA HUD window.

Which I’m sure will be absolutely fantastic. (My normal blog has migrated to rosyatrandom.livejournal.com)

Well, let’s make this a proper first post.

I’ve been playing poker about a couple of years now, at low stakes. I used to pretty much play SNG’s eclusively, but have got into cash games lately. I’ve just got Poker Tracker and PA HUD, which I expect to improve my game enormously. My biggest win so far is from winning a $3 MTT about a year ago, which got me about $900. Total winnings so far are a little over £1,000, I think.

Anyway, I withdrew all but $50 for Xmas/New Year, as I was broke. Since then I’ve kept getting it to between $100-150 before dropping down back a bit, usually as the result of a session on tilt.

I play on PokerStars as CptnAdequate, currently on the 5c/10c 6-seater ring games

Current bankroll: $201.87

And here’s my graph for 6-seat 5c/10c since November:
