More Problems With Holdem Manager
I spent time with my mother-in-law today. That went well, but it was all downhill after that.
I came home, played one SNG, then started working on the Holdem Manager issue.
I finally decided that it was best to delete everything that I had done before, and do a clean install of Holdem Manager 2 with a new, empty database. I managed to get all of the old stuff deleted, but I had problems after that.
I went to the Holdem Manager web site, and I couldn't figure out how to do the download. None of the options seem to fit. I didn't need to pay for the upgrade from HM1 to HM2, I already did that. I didn't need a free trial. I finally posted my question on the Holdem Manager thread in the 2+2 poker forums.
After I played that SNG (2nd place) I checked back, and there was a link for the download and installation. That went OK, but now I can't figure out how to do anything--even though I used an earlier version of the same program a couple years ago.
The program has a lot of bells and whistles and functionality, or so it seems, including free poker coaching videos. But like Facebook and a lot of other recent technology, it is neither logical nor intuitive. I was expecting a way to designate the site on which I play, such as a dropdown list, but there was nothing. Nowhere in the program can I find a list of the supported poker sites, even though there is such a list on their web site.
Also, there was something in the program that I was trying to figure out, and I was directed to set up an account. Why? I already paid for the program. It is registered, and I have a license number. Why should I have to do something else to get the full functionality of the program? That makes no sense, and anyway, I couldn't figure out what I would gain by setting up that account.
I put my newest question (how to designate a poker site) up a couple of hours ago. There is no answer yet, so I guess I'll get back at it tomorrow. I have to get this thing solved somehow. I just checked my records, and I have played exactly two SNGs this month. One on the 14th, when I got my computer back, and one today.
Now it's 11 P.M. and I'm tired (I've been sticking with getting up fairly early every morning.) I didn't get very far with Holdem Manager, and I played one SNG for a profit of $2.40. Not exactly a productive day.
