Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to retrieve the information (stacksizes posititions, etc) from the pokertracker database. Instead of looking at the HH file directly.

Has anybody had any succes doing this?

It's actually quite easy, just make SQL queries to the pt4 postgres database directly.
If you want to see how the pt4 database looks, you can use pgadmin(v3) to explore. You will find the information you need in schemas->public->tables->

but is this also untraceable by the poker client?

It's probably quite tricky to trace as their client would have to connect to your database (which should be password protected). Of course they can always gather information from memory but this is something I would only suspect from pokerstars right now.

If you want to be extra safe, just set up a lan server that hosts the pt4 database (theres a guide on pt4 website) so that you can connect & query on a machine seperate from the playing machine.

yeah thats what worries me. they can check memory, and just search for programs that have hand history text in their mem space. that would be a major trigger i suppose.

I don't think that is a likelly way to be detected.
