[Closed] The news about Elephant replacing pokertracker 2

Originally posted by swissmoumout
PT2 development was abandoned, which means any relatively big update from a poker room can easily make PT unusable. PT3 is absolutely not ready, it only supports 3 platforms, doesn't have a HUD (well someone is developing one, but it only works for FT at the moment), and it isn't exactly being developed quickly...
Elephant's dev is very quick, they're releasing updates twice a week or so, and it includes a HUD, hand converter etc. It'll also support all the PS affiliates soon
BTW if you install PT3 with postgreSQL, elephant can use it for its DB.

And if you count the "few more weeks of grinding" plus the wait (up to a month) to get the PT licence, if they still sold it, you'll be better off waiting for the Elephant...

btw PT3 does have HUD (and great one) and supports iPoker now

I must be very dumb, cause I can't find it oO Is it a seperate download?
I also have PokerObserver beta, but that doesn't work with party yet

The beta 10 version that support ipoker network was released on the 1st May.

You should look on the PT3 web site.

yeah I've got that one (I think) but I was talking about the HUD (I don't play on IPN)

few questions about Elephant

1 any idea of release date for full versions
2 will we be able to us it on more than one computer
3 on the Download page you are still saying that you can get free Pokertracker with 2000 points

I am one of them been holding off purchasing Pokertracker thinking would get free one now got 2000 points but now the PokerTracker 3 is out this month will end up buying it because have not got on with Elephant when using it ( needs to be idiot proof )

Yeah, Pokertracker 3's release date is may 15th, please update your web page stating that we get PT and ACEhud after 200 points, that is very misleading.

I'm fairly dissapointed about the Elephant switch, as PT3 is about to come out and i've been working towards obtaining it for a long time and now I just learned yesterday I won't be having it.

I'd love to have a choice between Elephant (which was supposed to be ready before PT3, which it obviously isn't) and PT3, I haven't tried Elephant yet but I have no choice but to admit I'm really skeptical about it being any better than PT3 because PT is a well-established franchise and it now had a HUD in version 3. Oh well.
