PokerTracker

Poker Tracker, importing hands... configured correctly for Absolute ver 2.17.02a

Hud configured to both Program files\Absolutepoker\handhistory\username
and Program files\absolute poker\instantreplay

I am sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I tried searching to no avail...

Thank you for your assistance

Please update to the latest PAH version 1.19.10.1 and configure Options -> Preferences -> Cereus to look in the Instant Replay folder (NOT the hand history folder).

do i need to change pokertracker settings as well?

You will need to update PT2 too, yes - if you check the PT2 section of the forum you'll find the latest version of PT2.

ok ive done all this...pt2 is working properly,but pah is still not recognizing any tables

PAH should recognize cash tables, but there is a known issue with tournament tables.

If you still can't get it to recognize cash tables enable logging, reproduce the problem on a single table and play 30+ hands, and send the PAHud.log file via the Support system so that we can review your configurations and troubleshoot the issue.

PT3 works well with Cereus so you may want to try the 60 day free trial.
You'll need to get beta 28.

ok i hadn't tried a cash game...i play mostly tournys....thx 4 the help............will there be a patch in the future to deal with the tourny issue??

I hope so, but I can't say when this will be.
Give the 60 day free trial of PT3 a go - you might like it... It has many more options that PT2 and PAH.
