Hold'em Manager 1.11.03 Released With Live Tracking

The latest HEM release brings live tracking support to Pokerstars, Full Tilt, Party, I-Poker and Absolute/UB. I’ve been using it for my 6- session this morning, and I couldn’t imagine going back.

The Live Tracking feature basically scans the dealer text using OCR of your live tables. By keeping track of the action, various dynamic features can be added to your HUD.

Here you can see the 'betting actions’ in the HUD, in the top-right of the upper HUD shown in the pic. It shows a short-hand version of the action on each street (here the villain called preflop, checkcalled on the flop and has checked on the turn). This is excellent for multi-tabling, providing a much easier way to view the action without scrolling through the dealer text.

You can also see in the picture the lower HUD the player has folded, and the HUD is reduced in opacity so the relevant hUDs are given more prominence.

One of my favourite features is the dynamic popups. Irrelevant stats (such as those in positions other than where this player is currently) are greyed out, and stats that are relevant to the current action are highlighted in red. Here the player raises on the button:

It works postflop too; here the villain has donked the flop:

You’ll note that cbet stats are greyed out because the player didn’t have the opportunity to cbet (he didn’t have the initiative).

Other features include a live pot odds display in the HUD, and a 'live’ hand history, that’s just like the view for the previous hand history, but shows for the current action, and updates in real time.

My only small gripe is that you can’t mark a live hand. Hopefully that feature gets added soon.

You can update to the latest release from the HEM releases forum.
