PokerTracker is an excellent tool for many reasons but one of the new ways I’ve found to use it is to uncover the re-loaders. Have you ever been playing and you see some guy sit down with something like $100 and then maybe an hour later you see him at $60 (with a good chunk of that $40 in your stack) and then all of a sudden you look over and he’s at $110? You’ve been answering emails and doing other stuff so maybe he dragged down a few big pots while you were distracted . . . or maybe not. PokerTracker can tell you if this guy re-loaded while you weren’t paying attention. You can see that he hasn’t suddenly improved his game that might make you play slightly differently against him nor has he run into a lucky streak of cards. PockerTracker tells you he’s down a total of $70 so you now that somewhere along the way he dipped back into his roll and you can now play accordingly.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
