Filters: Filter by date or more advanced criteria

All of the information in the Overview tab can be filtered by date or by other advanced criteria that you select.

Date Filter:

  • The date filter can be selected from the top row of the Overview window.
  • Simply check the “Use date filter” box, select the date range with the drop down menus, and click the Update button.
  • All the information you see on the screen will then be filtered for the appropriate date range.

Advanced Filters:

  • You can also filter by more advanced criteria by clicking on the Advanced Filters icon in the upper right corner (it looks like a small funnel: advamced filter. Here, for example, you choose to view all hands in which you attempted to steal another players blinds, or in which you raised on the flop with overcards or where you called on the river. By combining these filters with the replayer or hand history viewer, you have a powerful tool for analyzing and evaluating your play.

  • Clicking on the Advanced Filters icon brings up a new “Overview Filter” window. In this filter window, you can choose what filters to apply.

    • The filter contains a number of categories, for example “Flop Hands”, “Chance to steal blinds”, etc.

    • If you select options from several categories, this means that all of the selections must be true for a hand to pass that filter. The filter is performed on an AND basis (so, for example, if you choose 3 options, option1 must be true AND option2 must be true AND option3 must be true for a hand to pass the filter).

    • However, selections WITHIN a category are performed on an OR basis. So, for example, if you select several options in the flop hands category (for example overcards and flushdraw), then all hands that had EITHER overcards OR flushdraw OR both will pass the filter.
  • After you’ve selected your criteria, click on the “apply” button at the bottom of the window; PokerOffice will then sort through all of the hands in your database (this can take a while with larger databases, especially if you’ve selected a number of filters). You’ll then be returned to the Main Program Overview tab where you’ll see only those hands that meet the criteria. You will now also have an excellent opportunity to replay these hands as a single session, in order to review your play for the given criteria.


More Detailed Statistics

PokerOffice gives you the option of viewing more detailed statistics about your play. You can get to the “More Detailed Statistics” page in either of two ways:

  • Click on the More Detailed Statistics icon in the upper right corner of the page. This will open up a new window showing you detailed statistics for the blinds level selected on the Player Summary table. If you want to view your statistics for all levels, be sure that you first have selected the yellow summary row (select the summary row by left-clicking). More Detailed Stats

  • Right click on any of the rows in the Player Summary table to see detailed statistics for that blind level. To see detailed statistics for ALL hands at ALL levels, right-click on the summary row in the first table on the Overview page.

The More Detailed Statistics window will show you approximately 70 different statistics on your play, from your preflop raise percentages, to your blind steal and defense results, to your postflop aggression. An explanation of the terms used here can be found in the Glossary.

The significance of these statistics can vary widely depending on what game you play, how your typical opponents play etc. There is no “correct” number for most of these statistics, although there are ranges that are considered by expert players to be optimal. PokerOffice uses these statistics to “auto-rate” players; generally, you’d prefer to be in the Tight Aggressive range, and this is what you should strive for if you are starting out in poker.

Note that if you’ve used any of the filter options in the main overview window, those options will carry through here, and your statistics will reflect ONLY the filtered hands.


Combine Players / Create Alias

By default, PokerOffice shows you the statistics for a single player. You can, however, combine the statistics for more than one player or screen name alias. All of the information that PokerOffice displays will then be based on those combined statistics. You might want to do this, for example, if you’ve changed your screen name on a poker site. Or, you might have different screen names on different sites; with PokerOffice you can combine the statistics from these different names and view them together.

Please note that if you use the same screen name on different networks, PokerOffice will treat the names as though they belong to different players and will make separate entries in its databases for each name. With the Combine Players feature, you can combine these separate entries into a single alias and view all of your statistics together; or you can leave the entries separate and track your results on each network independently. You can find the name of the network associated with each screen name in parentheses after the screen name (e.g. “YourName (PTY)” is your name on the Party Poker network and “YourName (PS)” is your name on Poker Stars).

To combine players or create an alias:

  • Click the Combine Players icon (it looks like a small person with a plus sign: Combine Alias
  • A new window will pop up that will allow you to Add additional nicknames to an existing alias.
  • Once you’ve done so, each of the other windows in PokerOffice will show you the combined statistics for all of the linked names.
  • The names will remain linked unless you manually Remove them. So, the next time you start PokerOffice you will automatically be viewing statistics for the combined names.

Note that you must click the appropriate left-hand tab to combine aliases for a Ring Game player or a Tournament player since PokerOffice stores ring game and tournament data separately. And, if you’re using more than one database, you will need to combine your aliases for each database separately.


Auto-rate stats

You can choose whether to “auto-rate” the player whose statistics you are viewing in this window. Check the box to auto-rate the player

Choosing to auto-rate a player will show you an icon and a brief description of whether the player is loose or tight and passive or aggressive. The settings that correspond to this description can be found under “Player Icons” chapter of the live_tracker help section.


Player Notes

A small window in the upper right corner of the Overview tab allows you to keep notes on your selected player. Click the pencil-and-paper icon to the right of the window to view an enlarged notes screen. You can cut-and-paste your notes from this window into your notes on any poker site by using ctrl-c (to copy) and ctrl-v (to paste). The notes will also be shown in the overlay for the appropriate player during play. The notes are saved on a per player basis; i.e. you can have one separate note for each player in your database.


Sessions / Tournaments Tab

Starting Hands Tab

This tab shows statistics summarized by all your starting hands, regardless of position.

By default, the information in this table shows all blind levels / tournament buy-in levels. You can filter this data by using the Advanced Filter options. As always, you can also use the Date Filter to display information for a particular date range.

Statistics used in the Starting Hands table:
  • Hand – Starting hand
  • Times – Number of times you have been dealt this hand
  • WonHands% – Percentage of hands which you have won, out of all hands played with this starting hand
  • SawFlopNB% – Percentage of hands where you saw the Flop when not in the Big Blind or Small Blind position
  • SawFlop% – Percentage of hands where you saw the Flop
  • $Won (cash games) – Amount which you have won or lost; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • $Won/Hand (cash games) – Amount won divided by the number of hands played; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • T$Won (tournaments) – Amount in chips which you have won or lost; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • T$Won/Hand (tournaments) – Amount in chips won divided by the number of hands played; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • WonSawFlop% – Percentage of hands won where you saw the Flop, out of all hands where you saw the Flop

  • PreFlopRaise% – Percentage of hands where you raised the pot before the Flop
  • FirstInRaise% – PREFLOP statistic showing percentage of hands where you raised preflop as the first person to act, out of all hands

Profit Graph Tab

This tab shows your total profit per hand, per day, and per week in three different graphs. You can right click with the mouse anywhere in the graphs to get the exact Y-value (profit) for that point. You can also use the Profit/Hand Graph to launch the replayer (see below).

As always, you can use the Date Filter to display information for a particular date range.

Profit/Hand Graph

This graph displays your relative profit per hand. Hands that you have won and made a profit in are plotted in green, hands where you made no profit are plotted in blue and hands in which you have lost money are plotted in red.

You can left click with your mouse, hold down the mouse button and then move the mouse to select an area in the graph. When you release the button a menu will pop up giving you the option to replay the hands in the selected area. This is especially handy if you’d like to analyze certain downswings or upswings. Read more about the Replayer here.

Note: The Profit/Hand graph only shows a maximum of 800-1000 hands depending on your screen resolution. So, if you’ve played more hands than can be shown on the graph, the graph will “scroll” to the right and show the relative profit of your last 800-1000 hands. To plot more than 1000 hands, we recommend that you use the Custom Graph tab, described in the next section. Under the Custom Graph tab, you can view your profit (in $ or in BB) for as many hands at once as you want; under that tab you can also use the advanced filtering options, e.g. to view the profit per hand for a specific blinds level, etc.

Profit/Day

This graph displays your relative profit per day. Days that you have won and made a profit in are plotted in green, days where you made no profit are plotted in blue and days in which you have lost money are plotted in red.

Profit/Week

This graph displays your relative profit per week. Weeks that you have won and made a profit in are plotted in green, weeks where you made no profit are plotted in blue and weeks in which you have lost money are plotted in red.


Custom Graph Tab

Overview

The Custom Graph Tab gives you access to a number of very powerful and flexible graphing options. You can plot up to three different graphs at once, showing any of a wide variety of statistics for each graph. You might for example want to plot your Profit and your Saw Flop percentage against each other to see how your profit varies with how often you see the flop.

You can also use this graph in its simplest form, to plot your profits over all the hands you ever played. PokerOffice will automatically adjust the graph’s scale so that all your information will fit into the graph.

You can filter this data by using the Advanced Filter options. As always, you can also use the Date Filter to display information for a particular date range.

Finally, you can choose to replay the hands from any section of the graph. Just use your mouse to select the hands that you want to replay (you might want to review your play during an upswing or downswing, for example) and you can launch the graphical Replayer.

Plotting graphs

Begin plotting your custom graphs by choosing the Statistics that you want to Graph. You can plot up to three graphs at once. Begin by opening the drop-down menu for Graph 1. There, you will see a number of statistics displayed, beginning with Profit ($) and continuing through Won %.

As an example, choose the Profit ($) statistic for Graph 1. Click on the Update button and you will see a blue line indicating your profit, in dollars, over all of your hands; the right side of the screen will now also show a Y-axis with blue numbers for this graph. To see the exact numbers that correspond to a particular point on the graph, look at the bottom left corner of the screen. There you’ll see an indication of the Hand # and of the total Profit through that hand.

You can add Graphs 2 and 3 by choosing statistics from the Graph 2 and Graph 3 drop down menus. Open the Graph 2 drop down menu, for example, and choose Profit BB. Now you’ll see a second graph, this time represented by a green line and green numbers on the Y-axis.

Group by (change the graph’s scale)

You can use the “Group by” drop list box to select how many hands you want each point in the graph to represent. By selecting this option, you can fit any number of hands on to one graph.

The graph can show about 1000 points and the “Group by” menu shows how many hands are summarized at each point. If you’re displaying 25,000 hands, for example, the Group by menu will show 25, meaning each point on the graph represents 25 hands.

Launch Replayer

One of the handiest features of the Custom Graph tab is the ability to review your play over a particular range of hands. If you have an unusual upswing or down swing over a range of hands, for example, you might want to review your play during those hands.

To launch the Replayer, first select a portion of the graph to replay. Do so by holding down the left mouse button while moving the mouse to select an area in the graph. When you release the button a menu will pop up giving you the option to replay the hands in the selected area. Read more about the Replayer here.

MA (Moving Average)

If you’ve graphed any of the statistics other than the two Profit statistics, you might notice that your graph tends to flatten out on the right-hand side.

What’s happening is that your statistic is converging to its “true” value. Over a small number of hands (100, for example), some of your statistics like $Vol.PutInPot (percentage of hands where you voluntarily put money into the pot) can vary quite a lot (you can hit a particularly good or bad run of cards, meaning you’re playing more or fewer hands than normal). You can see this tendency on the far left hand side of the graph, which represents relatively few hands.

As you play more hands, however, small runs of good and bad luck tend to even out. So, after 50 000 hands, for example, you’ll see a lot less variation in your $Vol.PutInPot statistic and the graph will appear flat: a small run of good luck won’t change your average by very much.

But, suppose you want to see whether your $Vol.PutInPot has had any strange spikes up or down, or whether you have changed your play over time. How do you do that?

The solution in PokerOffice is to use the “Moving Average” option (the “MA” drop down menu next to each graph). In short, this option causes the graph to calculate data in small chunks, rather than over the entire range of hands. Every point in the graph will now show the mean value of the last X hands, where X is the value you decide for the MA. The smaller your MA, the spikier your graph will look, because short term swings will have a relatively large effect.

Try graphing your $Vol.PutInPot and set the MA to a number in the neighborhood of 1/10 of your total hands. You should now see a graph that shows noticeable changes, but without the dramatic spikes that a very low MA will show; now the graph might show differences in your playing style, rather than just showing the effects of a short-term swing of good or bad luck.

If you want to explore a section of the graph in more detail you might try launching the Replayer (see above). Or, you can use the Date Filter to limit the graph to a particular range of hands.

Statistics used in the Custom graph:
  • Profit ($) – The relative profit in dollar
  • Profit (BB) – The relative profit in Big Bets; the Big Bet is usually two times the Big Blind
  • Pre Flop Raise % – Percentage of hands where you raised the pot before the Flop

  • Saw Flop % – Percentage of hands where you saw the Flop
  • Saw Flop Not Blind % – Percentage of hands where you saw the Flop when not in the Big Blind or Small Blind position
  • Vol. Put In Pot – Percentage of hands where you voluntarily put money in the put before the Flop, out of all hands. If you get to see Flop without putting any money in, e.g. checking as the Big Blind, it is not counted as voluntary
  • Flop-Turn % – Percentage of hands where you saw the turn, out of all hands where you also saw the flop
  • Saw Turn % – Percentage of hands where you saw the turn, out of all hands
  • Turn-River % – Percentage of hands where you saw the river, out of all hands where you also saw the turn
  • Saw river % – Percentage of hands where you saw the river, out of all hands
  • Aggr. Factor Pre Flop – Aggression Factor pre flop.
  • Aggr. Factor Flop – Aggression Factor on the flop. The aggression factor is defined as (Bet % + Raise %) / Call %.
  • Aggr. Factor Turn – Aggression Factor on the turn.
  • Aggr. Factor River – Aggression Factor on the river.
  • Aggr. Factor Post Flop – Aggression Factor for all post flop streets: flop, turn, river.
  • Aggr. Factor Total – Aggression Factor total, for both pre flop and all postflop streets.
  • Went to Showdown % – Percentage of hands where you went all the way to a showdown, out of all hands

Performance Tab

The Performance Tab is designed to compare your performance to other players per level.

There are two tables in this list: the upper table summarizes your play at each level while the lower table summarizes the play of every player in your PokerOffice database for a given level.

Level Performance Summary

The upper table is called Level Performance Summary. Here your play is summarized by blinds level and each row represents a single level. If you left-click on a row to select a specific blind level, the lower table will update to show information about the selected level.

Statistics used in the Level Performance Summary table (cash games) :
  • Level – Blinds level
  • Hands – Number of hands played at this level
  • Hours – Number of hours played at this level
  • Sessions – Number of sessions played at this level
  • WinSessions % – Percentage of sessions where you have won money, out of all sessions
  • $Won/Hour – Average profit per hour; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • $Won/Hand – Average profit per hand; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red
  • BB/Hour – Big bets won per hour. The Big Bet is usually two times the Big Blind; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • St.Dev/Hour – Standard deviation per hour; this is a measurement of how much your stack size fluctuates; measured in $
  • Avg.NrOfPl – Average number of players per hand
  • Players/Flop – Average percentage of players who saw the Flop
  • Hands/Hour – Average number of hands dealt per hour
  • Avg.Pot – Average amount of the pot
  • Rake – Total amount of rake paid by you
Statistics used in the Level Tournament Summary table (tournaments):
  • Buy In – Buy In amount
  • Fee – Fee amount
  • Type – Tournament type, Limit, No Limit or Pot Limit
  • Times – Number of tournaments played at this Buy In and Fee structure
  • $Won – Gross amount won, i.e. prize money won; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • Net $Won – Net amount won, i.e. prize money minus the Buy In and Fee; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red
  • ROI% – Return On Investment; the percentage return on your investment, where Buy In and Fee is the investment and Net $Won is the return.
  • ITM% – In The Money; percent of times you have finished a tournament in the money and made a profit.
  • Avg.NrOfPl – Average number of players per tournament
  • 1st Place – The number of times you have finished in first place
  • 2nd Place – The number of times you have finished in second place
  • 3rd Place – The number of times you have finished in third place

Player Top List

The lower table is called Player Top List and contains a summary of statistics for you and your opponents, with each row representing a single opponent.

The tab is constructed as a top list: the player in your PokerOffice database who has the highest profit per hand is shown at the top and the other players at that level are shown in descending order according to their profit per hand. This can be used to find out who the worst players are so you can search for them at your poker room.

You can sort this list by any of the other criteria by clicking on the tabs at the top of each column; clicking on the same tab again will switch the sort order from descending to ascending.

You can also select the minimum number of hands a player needs in order to be represented on this list. To do so, click on the Settings menu at the top of your PokerOffice window; select Preferences -> Advanced -> Player Top List and then select a number from the drop-down menu.

If you right-click on a player a menu will pop up giving you the option to change the selected player to this player. In other words, it will change the PokerOffice main program to display all statistics for this player.

Statistics used in the Player Top List table:
  • Player – Player name
  • Hands – Number of hands played at this level
  • WonHands% – Percentage of hands which the player won
  • SawFlop% – Percentage of hands where the player saw the Flop
  • $Won – Amount won or lost; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • $Won/Hand – Amount won divided by the number of hands played; winnings are displayed in green and losses in red.
  • WonSawFlop% – Percentage of hands won where the player saw the Flop, out of all hands where he saw the flop
  • Showdowns% – Percentage of hands where the player went all the way to a showdown, out of all hands
  • ShowdownsWon% – Percentage of hands where the player went all the way to a showdown and won the pot, out of all hands where he went all the way to a showdown
  • PreFlopRaise% – Percentage of hands where the player raised the pot before the Flop
  • FirstInRaise% – PREFLOP statistic showing percentage of hands where the player raised preflop as the first person to act, out of all hands

Hand Analysis Tab

The Hand Analysis Tab shows you how you played your hand on various types of flops.

Flop Hand Analysis

The upper table is called Flop Hand Analysis. Here your play is summarized by type of hand on the flop and each row represents a single flop type. The columns show how many times you had that particular Flop type; your net amount won or lost; and what percent of the time you performed each action.

Graph

When you select a row from the Flop Hand Analysis table, the graph will change to show you your overall performance for that flop type.


Player Search Tab

The Player Search tab gives you a powerful tool to create buddy lists or search for players with specific statistics.

Using the drop down menus, select up to five different statistics and enter the ranges that you want your targeted players to have. The Search feature will show you the players in your database who meet all of the criteria that you entered. You can search for all players who have statistics above a certain range by entering a number in the left box and leaving the right box (for example, select Vol $ Put In Pot %; enter 50 in the left box and leave the right box empty). Entering a number in the right box and leaving the left box empty will find players whose statistics are below that range (for example, select Aggr. Factor Post Flop; leave the left box blank and type 1 in the right box).

graphic

You can further refine the search by choosing statistics that were generated only at certain levels or on certain sites. You can also limit your search to only those players that you’ve written a note about in PokerOffice by using the checkbox.

Begin the search by pressing the Search button. PokerOffice will search through your database and display a table of players whose statistics meet your ALL of the choices that you entered.

You can Export the entire table or any selected rows by RIGHT-clicking in the table and then selecting one of the export options. You can then import this list into a buddy list or other third-party software you might use.

If you wish to run a new query, you can use the Reset Filter button to clear all of the fields that you’ve entered. Using the other buttons, you can Save or Load your filters.

Note that if you enter a statistic but don’t enter any numbers for the range, the table will still include a column for that statistic. So, for example, if you add $Won to the previous example, but don’t enter numbers in the boxes, you’ll see the amount each player in the table won or lost.


Custom Tab

Under the Custom Tab, you can choose to display any of the statistics available in PokerOffice. Click on the Create buttons and a popup window will be displayed in which you can Add or Remove any of the available statistics or Clear all of them. Choose the order in which the statistics will be displayed in the table by using the Up or Down buttons. You can further refine the table by using the Group By option and choose to display your results by level or type of hand. When you hit OK, a table will be created showing the requested statistics for the selected player

Note also that the Advanced Filter options are available. By combining the Advanced Filter options with the Custom Tab features, you can analyze your play with a high level of detail. Of course, the more hands you have in your database, the more useful this analysis will be.


General Options

Database Options

You can access PokerOffice’s database functions by clicking on the icons in the upper left corner of the Main Program screen or by selecting a command from the Database menu

  • Database Info
  • Backup Database
  • Clear Database
  • New Database
  • Open Database
  • Restore Database (no icon)
  • Import PO2 Database

Database Info

Selecting this option will pop up a window showing the number of hands and players contained in the current database.

Backup Database

You can make backups of your PokerOffice databases by using the backup function to produce a compressed backup file. This file can then be copied to disk or CD or attached to e-mails etc. Backup files made on one computer can be restored on the same or any other computer as long as PokerOffice is installed. To restore a backed up file use the Restore Database function. We recommend making regular backups of your database.

Clear Database

This option will clear the currently open database and remove all of its contents.

WARNING: if you clear a database ALL DATA IN IT WILL BE LOST!!! This action CAN NOT BE UNDONE!!

Create New Database

This will create and open a new empty database. By default, PokerOffice will keep records of all of your sessions, from every site, in a single database. If you’d rather keep separate databases for different sites, different types of games (full ring or 6-max, for example), different date ranges, or for any other reason, you can use this function to create a new database.

Open Database

This function opens an already existing database. To use this function, select the Open Database option in the Database menu or press the Open Database button. When you do this a small window will pop up and you will see a drop-down menu from which you can select the database to open. If you want PokerOffice to open this database as the default database when it starts up you can check the box: Open this database at startup.

Restore Database

If you created a backup, you can restore it by using the Restore function. Note that you must be using the same database engine (MySQL or Java) that you were using when you backed up your database.

Import PO2 Database

This option will allow you to import your PokerOffice2 database directly into PokerOffice5. Simply select this option and follow the prompts to locate the PokerOffice2 directory and the database that you’d like to import. Please note that PO5 can NOT import Pacific Poker hands, Prima tournament results, or Poker Stars observed hands (i.e., hands that you did not play; hands that you played on Poker Stars will be imported normally) from your PokerOffice2 database.


Collecting Data

To be able to produce statistics and analysis of your own and your opponents’ play, PokerOffice needs hand histories. A hand history is a transcript of a single poker hand including all players’ actions and the final outcome. PokerOffice has three main ways of collecting data:

  • live_tracker (recommended)
  • Importing Hand History Files
  • Email

Import data using the live_tracker

If you have a Live Tracker active on a table it will automatically import the hand information from that table. Turning on the auto detection mode will automatically attach Live Trackers to all poker tables that you open. This is by far the easiest and most convenient way to import hand histories and we therefore generally recommend that players use Live Tracker with auto detection mode turned on.

Read more about the Live Tracker here.

Import Hand History Files

You can also manually import hand histories into the PokerOffice database. Typically, Live Tracker will import hand histories for you automatically. You may, however, need to manually import hands that you played before you bought PokerOffice, or that you played without using Live Tracker.

The first step is to locate the hand histories for your specific poker site. You can usually find these hand histories in the program folder of the site in question. PokerStars, for example, saves the hand histories in c:program filespokerstarsHandHistory. Depending on the poker site, you may need to set an option in your poker client that will save hands to your hard drive.

Next, use the option Import Hand History from the File menu or press the Import Hand History button. This will bring up a small window with three buttons; press the middle button called Load Hand History From File. A new window will pop up and you can either enter the path to the hand history file you just created or press the Browse button to browse your file system for it. If you choose to browse for the file you can even select multiple files to import by holding the Ctrl key when left clicking on the files. When you have selected your file(s) press the Open button and you will be returned to the previous window. Now the path to your file should be filled in and you can press the Import Hand History button to complete the import.

Note that PokerOffice 5 allows you to import entire directories, including subdirectories. Instead of selecting a file, simply select the folder name in your browse window; PokerOffice will find and import all hand history files in that folder and all of its subfolders

Import from POP3 e-mail server

You can also set up PokerOffice to retrieve your hand history e-mails from your POP3 server (should basically never be used). Before you can get this function to work you need to set up the correct settings for your e-mail account in the POP3 settings. From the Main Program, go to the Settings menu and choose Configure E-mail/Pop3. Then enter the appropriate settings in the configuration window.

Use the option Import Hand History from the File menu or press the Import Hand History button. This will bring up a small window with three buttons; press the bottom bottom to check your server for new hand histories.

Please note that Secure POP3 (POP3 over SSL) is not supported by PokerOffice. Please also note that this function will only retrieve e-mails that are still on the POP3 server, not the ones that you have already downloaded to your e-mail program (e.g. Outlook)


General Information

Working with Tables and Graphs

Most of the information you will find in the main program is presented in the form of either a table or a graph. Certain features are common to most tables and graphs

Tables

  • Most of the information in PokerOffice is presented in the form of tables.

  • Generally, you can sort the information by left-clicking on the headers at the top of each column (for example, clicking on $Won in the first table under the Sessions tab will sort the games according to your profit for each session).

  • For many tables, right-clicking within the table will bring up additional options.

  • Often, you can select multiple rows by using the CTRL or SHIFT keys and the left mouse button. After you’ve selected multiple rows, you can often get additional information by right-clicking or by clicking on the icons above the table.

Graphs

  • Graphs can be found under the tabs for Sessions/Tournaments, Profit Graph, and Custom Graph.

  • For graphs showing profits and losses, green sections represent profits; red sections represent losses; blue sections represent no change

  • Right clicking on a section of a graph will often give you more specific information about that section of the graph

  • You can generally also zoom in on sections of the graphs and use the Replayer to replay hands from particular sections of the graphs.


Date Filter

You can always use the Date Filter to limit the information you see to a particular date range.

The Date Filter is located under the Overhead tabs. To use the Date Filter, simply check the “Use date filter” box, select the date range with the drop down menus, and click the Update button. All the information you see on the screen will then be filtered for the appropriate date range.


Select Player

Generally, you will use PokerOffice to view statistics on your own play. You therefore should make sure that your own player name is selected as the default player in PokerOffice; i.e. the player that will load on startup, etc. To do this, go to settings/preferences and make sure that your player name is listed as the “Default Ring Game Player” and “Default Tournament Playe”. If your player is not listed as the default, simply change the default player by clicking the “Select other player” button.

You can also, however, select any other player in the PokerOffice database, and view all of the PokerOffice statistics on that player. To do so, click on the Select Player Icon at the top of the PokerOffice window: .

Note that if you play on several sites you will have one player for each site; to view the statistics for one of your players, simply select it from the player list and press “Update”. To combine the statistics for all of your players, see Combine Players / Create Alias


Preferences

Access the Preferences Menu by opening the Settings menu and then selecting Preferences.

General Options

Default Ring / Tournament Player – choose your default player names here; you should generally choose your screen name for the site that you are using most frequently. PokerOffice will make a guess as to who you are (based on number of hands played, numbers of starting hands known for the player, etc). Generally, the system will correctly identify you; if not, select the player that you wish to use as the default player instead.

Startup Options -

  • Startup Window: Choose whether you want PokerOffice to open a selection window at startup. Choose “none” to begin immediately in the Main Program
  • Startup Tab: Chose the tab that you want to see in the Main Program when PokerOffice starts
  • Load Ring Game / Tournament Statistics – choose whether to load your default players’ statistics on startup. If you have a large database on your default player, you will be able to shorten the startup time for PokerOffice by unchecking one of these boxes.

General Options – use the checkboxes to determine whether PokerOffice should use multiple colors in graphs; use bold fonts in tables; and automatically check for updates.

Configure POP e-mail: If you need to set up PokerOffice to import hand history files from a POP e-mail server, you will need to enter your email settings here. Note that very few users will need to import hand histories via email; live_tracker eliminates the need for this in almost all cases.

Advanced Options

Player Toplist – choose the minimum number of hands a player must have to show up on the top list under the Performance tab. Read more here.

Use Cache for Data Retrieval

By default, PokerOffice 5 uses both database and memory caches to improve its overall speed and performances. You can use the checkboxes to disable either of these caches, but generally, we advise you to keep them enabled since they will speed up PokerOffice A LOT for most users.

These caches save all the calculations that are done on your current data (for example all the statistics shown on the overview tab). Hence, if you import one more hand into the database, PO5 only needs to fetch one more hand from the database to calculate the new data.

If the database cache is enabled, it means that PO5 saves all the calculations on your current data to the database. So, the next time you start up PokerOffice, no additional data needs to be fetched from the database since all the calculations are already cached, like a hibernate. If the memory cache is enabled it means that PO5 caches all calculations as long as PO5 remain open, but the database cache must be enabled for the cache to be active between restarts of the application.

If the database cache is enabled and you have a large database, you may notice that the first calculation (where all the data are fetched from the first time) will be slow. From then on, however, all subsequent calculations of the same data will be much quicker.

Refresh on Live Window Closing – check this box if you want PokerOffice to prompt you to refresh your statistics when a Live Tracker Window closes. Read more here: Closing live_tracker

Poker Stars / Full Tilt Options – If you’re having trouble running PokerOffice with Poker Stars or Full Tilt, support may request that you input a new Hand History Location or a new location for PokerStars.exe. Unless support has specifically requested that you change these settings, you should generally not need to make any changes here.
