Hold Em Indicator / Related programs

[PokerBrat131]

I've got Hold Em Indicator but am having trouble using it. It's not the trial version and I've changed the dealer chat options from normal to everything. I'm using full tilt poker, and at first it would just say finding tables. Now I got it to recognize the table I am at, but that is as far as I got, lol. It now will recgonize my table name, but there will be a flashing "?" where my hole cards should be. It also does not record table stats.

My main reason for wanting this program was because they record the table stats. The HUD was a plus, but not necessary for me. If no one can help me with my problem I was wondering if there are any similar programs, specifically one that records table stats, and are free. A lot to ask I know but I figured it's worth a shot. Thanks so much for your help.

I've never used Hold Em Indicator, personally I use holdem manager, It will record your table stats. The two main other ones are at:

www.holdemmanager.com
www.pokertracker.com

Both of these should help ya, good luck

Is there anyway to get some of these programs for free? I have already signed up to quite a few poker sites and don't plan on signing up for others

I started out with Hold'em Indicator years ago, I got it free for clearing like 200 raked hands on Sportsbook/Cake I think it was. After getting a handle on online play and a taste for stats, I quickly purchased HEM. I continued to use HI on SB when I still played there, because HEM didn't support them (Cake is very strict on HUDs and trackers, but for some reason never had a problem with HI/TI). I recently got an update notice that HI now has a HUD. Looks pretty cool, but still can't touch HEM. FWIW when I used it, it was painless. Not sure why you're having problems, but whenever FT updated the client and broke HI, there was always a very quick update to fix it, usually same day.

The cost for HEM Pro is about the same as the retail $$$ cost for HI, and both can be had free for joining sites. Wish you would have done your homework on that first, you could have had a much better software package for free. That said, $85 is *nothing* for something like HEM that will improve your game immensely. It will pay for itself almost instantly if you put the effort into using it.

In general though, it's always a bad idea to use these promotions to get free software if you can get rakeback on those sites, because then you can *never* get rakeback there. The only way I'd consider it is if you never intend to play there again once you've cleared the required rake (maybe a possibility for some of the minor league sites). For a site you'll continue to play on, you'd earn far more from RB in perpetuity, and be kicking yourself that you traded RB for a one-time $85 freebie.

As far as Holdem indicator go to tools, from there settings. on the right in the middle it should say something like /C. Program files/hand history ect. make sure your hand history is registered. when you open holdem indicator stats are on the far left. there is a tag for odds and stats click to see stats. try to use horozintal view. to leave stat as display on far left with tags press - on bottom.
