TableTracker Full Review

One of the keys to improving your win-rate is finding the best possible tables, or as the regulars call it, table selecting.  TableTracker is a table selection tool that is an integrated service within PokerTracker 4.  It will help you find the best tables to be playing at in order to maximize your potential when you start a session.

The PokerTracker server scans all of the major online poker sites and knows what players are sitting at every ring game table.  TableTracker grabs this server-side information and provides table stats based on your local hand history database on each player.  This provides a safe and accepted method of table selecting and you can quickly determine which ones are the best for you to be playing at:



TableTracker comes installed with PokerTracker 4, so there’s no extra downloading to do, which makes it very convenient to get rolling.  Everyone receives 25 scans for free, so you can try it out and actually compare your sessions with and without using the tool.

Beyond that, TableTracker uses a subscription-based system with different tiers of pricing.  For micro-stakes players, you can use Table Tracker “Bronze” level (up to $0.25-$0.50 No Limit and $0.50-$1 Limit) for $14.99 per month or sign up for a year and get that down to $9.99.

The “Silver” level is aimed and small- and mid-stakes players, who can scan up to $2-$4 No Limit or up to $8-$16 Limit games for $24.99 or as low as $15.99 a month for a year.  Finally, the “Gold” level lets you scan every level for Limit and No Limit games for $34.99 a month or $22.99 a month when paid for a year.  The pricing is pretty affordable considering you are getting access to server-side scanning and you can get the cost really low if you sign up for a year.

Using TableTracker is extremely easy even if you aren’t computer savvy.  On the left side, you are asked to pick your game (Holdem or Omaha) and then what sites you want to scan.  The program can scan across multiple sites at the same time, which is really helpful for those playing mid- and high-stakes who want to table select across several different sites:



Below that, you can select your format (Limit, Pot Limit, No Limit, or all) and then which levels you want to scan (defined as the cost of the big blind).  Finally, there is a “Configure” button that lets you pick the minimum number of hands required, define the number of players at a table, and define whether you want to show full ring, short-handed, or heads-up tables.

The scoring system is built-in using a reliable algorithm to define which tables offer the best action.  You can also enter your own custom scoring rules or use none at all.  There is also an advanced filters tab that’s quite open-ended and offers many different rules for you to narrow down what you are looking for.

Once you’ve defined everything, hit the “Start Search” button, which will initiate the scanning process.  Scanning through the tables from the server side will be extremely quick and, if you have even a semi-decent computer, the stats that follow the scan should load right away.  You’ll be given a table’s name, limit, number of players, number of players with stats, average stack, and average score.  There are buttons to “Launch Site” and “Open Table,” so you can jump into the action once you find the tables you are looking for:



If you are a regular and want to find a quick and easy way to boost your win-rate, don’t use an eyeball method to table select.  Be smart and use the best resource available, TableTracker.  It’s already pre-installed inside PokerTracker, has a ton of features, is easy to use, and offers the most efficient means of table selecting.  With 25 free searches, it’s a no-brainer to check out.  Chances are you’ll be a paying customer of TableTracker rather quickly.
