PokerTracker 3
In September 2009, the company announced that as of March 31, 2010, PokerTracker Holdem v2 would no longer be supported. The decision was made because PokerTracker 3 had been released on May 15, 2008, nearly two years prior to the end-of-life date. The company felt that discontinuing support of v2 would avail resources which could be dedicated to improving PT3 and providing exceptional customer service.[6][7] Similarly, on December 31, 2010, PokerTracker Omaha v2 would no longer be supported, as its features have been completely integrated into the PokerTracker 3 product line.[8]
PokerTracker 3 supports online poker from the following poker networks and/or sites:
PokerTracker 3 competes against several similar programs.

PokerTracker is capable of analyzing cash ring games in which players play for cash during each hand, sit and go tournaments in which players compete for set prizes after the prescribed number of competitors join the tournament, and multi-table tournaments in which players compete for tournament prizes based on the total number of entries at the scheduled start time. Statistics can be tracked by position, session, tournament, best & worst hands, and hand results. This helps the user analyze statistics based on starting hand or final hand. The software also enables the user to replay any specific hand.[19]

PokerTracker's
PokerTracker 3 also offers a monthly subscription-based service called TableTracker. TableTracker is an integrated service that automatically identifies ring tables with competition suitable to the user's playing style.[21] PokerTracker's servers constantly monitor which players are playing and what tables they are playing at on various major poker sites,[25] which allows TableTracker to find the weakest players across multiple online poker websites.[19] The user can search based on the software's built in scoring system or any other statistics of his or her choosing.[25]
Use and legality
Serious poker pros and casual amateurs alike can benefit from the poker tracking software,[26] and poker magazines such as Card Player repeatedly remind poker players of the usefulness of tracking software.[27][28] Total Gambler says that in addition to experience and skill the other necessity for a gambler to become a professional poker player is a good software package such as PokerTracker.[29]
Several websites portray PokerTracker as either the world's leading or the world's most popular poker tracking software. For example, Pokersource.com describes it as "the most popular poker tracking and analysis software available"[2] and Party Poker describes PokerTracker as "the original and largest piece of poker tracking software".[21] PokerSoftware.com says "Poker Tracker has been the industry standard ... for years".[11] Total Gambler says that for more than a two-year period PokerTracker 2 was the "prominent force in online poker tracking", but at the time of its December 2008 review it speaks of this leadership position in the past tense, noting that PT3 had not yet been "fully released" at the time of its testing.[10]
Major online card rooms forbid the use of software that gives a player an "unfair advantage." This typically includes software that allows players to share their
