| | | Poker Tracker vs. PokerOffice
I've used up my free time on Poker Tracker. Still using PokerOffice. I'm going to register and get one of them.
For those that have used one or both, why do you like the one you have? |

| | | I know a few players who have both and they say PT is more versatile with more features but it is harder to use while PO is easier to use. Take your pick, either ease of use or more features. |

| | | I just find myself putting in raises I normally wouldn't so PT will say I'm "aggressive". I lost more than I care to admit when using PT to analyze my Party/Empire/Poker Room play. The past two bonuses for Party and Empire were used without help from PT and I came out way ahead both times using my usual style. |

That's why I never bothered with them. Although I think books are the same way, and I buy those.  I think you just have to be born a certain way. Most of the pros seem to be good at chess, backgammon or golf, and I am terrible at all of those, too.
So use PT if you are already good and want a program to confirm this. Don't waste your money if you suck--you'll always suck, like me. Your only hope is finding people who suck even more than you. That's why I'm better at live poker. |

If party catches you using PO, it will first give you a warning. They catch you a second time, they ban your account and refund your money to neteller, or however you deposited.

Programs like Poker Prophecy are banned, but this is first I've heard of Poker Office being banned.
