Bodog Poker can be set up to utilize the best poker tracking software available. As explained below, however, players who wish to use this software will need to purchase a 3rd party software package in order to use the software. Heads-up Displays[HUDs] allow players to set up their tables to display a plethora of information on their opponents and themselves. How often does this player limp into pots? How much has he won in hands I've been involved in? How does he react when I 3-bet him? Regardless of personal opinions, a good tracking software and HUD can mean the difference between winning and losing ot between earning 1 Big Bet or two.
Poker Tracker™
Players using the newest Poker Tracker 3™ [PT3] software can virtually plug and play at Bodog Poker as this version includes IdleMiner's™ Hand Grabber program built into the software.
Those players who are still using Poker Tracker 2™ will need to purchase the Idleminer™ software [cost is currently $49.99] in order to fully use Poker Tracker™ with all of its features, charts and HUD.
Holdem Manager™
Holdem Manager™ is compatible with Bodog Poker, but players must purchase the Idleminer™ Hand Grabber software mentioned below in order to avail themselves of the hand histories at Bodog Poker. Once installed, Handgrabber will work with Holdem Manager in facilitating the capture of hand histories so the program can fully utilize this information in a timely fashion.
IdleMiner™ and Hand Grabber
IdleMiner™ has developed a series of HandGrabber tools to help players garner their hand histories from sites with non-standard hand history files. Bodog Poker is such a site. Without HandGrabber [currently selling for $49,99], players at Bodog Poker cannot use their Holdem Manager™ software. Bodog Hand Grabber captures and saves both hands you participate in, and hands you're just observing to disk in a plain, human readable format. These files are suitable for manual review or for use with Holdem Manager™.
