and data that allow you to:
II. Usage (first time)
Before using PokerStat, you must enter your online poker User-ID by going to the Help menu, and choosing Register.
PokerStat needs the User-ID in order to function properly.
1. Choose [Register] from the [Help] menu:
2. Enter your online poker User-ID, leaving
all other fields blank
(more detailed help on registration):
3. Now we start a new database by going to the [File] menu, and choosing [New Database]:
4. Read in hand history and/or tourney result data:
There are two methods to read in hand histories or tournament result emails:
Method 1: The first method is to save the
emails as text files on your computer, and read them into your PokerStat database.
You can save emails by either using your email program
to open the hand history email, and saving as a text format file
onto your computer,
or copying and pasting the hand history text itself into
an empty Notepad.exe window, and saving that onto your computer.
Method 2: The recommended method is to use the POP3 client.
See the POP3 client help page for more info.
5. After reading in and processing the hand histories, you are ready start
analyzing the data you've just read in!
For example,
to view statistics about yourself,
go to the [Query] menu, and choose [Player Statistics (single)].
Then type in your user-id into the "Player Name" box. Then click the "Get Data" button.
Now you can see statistics on yourself or any other player in your database!
The other menu options show additional information and statistics.
Also, you can read in Hold'em or Omaha tournament results and display information and
statistics on tournament play. To save the database you just created, go to the
[File] menu, and choose [Save database]. Be sure to save all your hand history files
even after you have read them into PokerStat!
III. Tips
To set program options, go to the [View] menu, and choose [Options]. You will
be able to set things like the default database directory, and
numerous other options.

NOTE: If you want to open a demo PokerStat database,
start PokerStat,
then go to the [File] menu, and choose [Open Demo Database]. This will
open a demo database that you can fiddle around with to quickly familiarize yourself
PokerStat's features.
(NOTE: You must save hand history files in
PLAIN TEXT only,
and in the exact same format as they are emailed to you.)
(NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you
save and keep ALL hand history and tournament result files on your
computer, even after
reading them into PokerStat. The reason for this is safety. If you
ever lose your PokerStat database, you can recreate your database
by reading in your hand histories and tournament results files again.)
You can view your ring hands, hilo and hi hands,
and tournament hands by going to the [Queries]
menu, and choosing [Set Queries hand (game) type...] to change the current hand type.
Now, whenever you
press the "Get Data" button, you will get data for the hand type. Also, the
"Database Summary" query will update when you change this option to show how many
total hands of that type are in the database.
