FLOP ZOOM:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29214/flopzoom
FlopZoom is an online poker tracker and analyzer for Full Tilt and PokerStars ring games and tournaments.
Its multi-table head-up display (HUD) shows real-time statistics (and hole cards mucked at showdown) for all your opponents at all Full Tilt and PokerStars tables as you play.
Use it to instantly pinpoint leaks in your game and exploit your opponents' weaknesses.
FlopZoom plays back any hand you've played, compares your statistics directly against other players' statistics, and compares your Harrington "M" value against the villains' "M" values throughout a tournament.
You can instantly find and review game-changing hands, see how you and your opponents played in specific positions, on specific streets, and against varying numbers of opponents.
Zoom in on the session you're playing right now, or zoom all the way out to your entire online poker career. It's all in there, all in real time!
POKER COPILOT:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29548/poker-copilot
Poker Copilot is poker hand history analysis software for Mac OS X, including a Head-up Display. It works with Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, UltimateBet, Absolute Poker, and Ongame Network. Cash games and tournaments are supported.
Features:
Easy to use, easy to understand: Even though Poker Copilot is a powerful application, it is easy to use. The most significant statistics are always viewable. Charts and tables are logically grouped and always within quick reach.
Currently supporting Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars: Hand history files are automatically located and processed. There's no need to tell Poker Copilot where your hand history files are located. Nor do you have to perform a manual import.
Analyze your hands and your opponents while you play: Poker Copilot continually monitors your hand history for updates. Updates are immediately processed. On-screen statistics automatically include these updates without any action from you. When you finish playing a hand within a few seconds you'll see the data on-screen update to include that hand.
Version 2.35:
I've fixed Poker Copilot so that the Head-up Display (HUD) works again with Absolute Poker and UltimateBet.
I've fixed Poker Copilot so that the Head-up Display (HUD) works again with Absolute Poker and UltimateBet.
Additionally, the HUD now works with tournaments in both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet.
I was also hoping to add support for "preferred seating" in these two poker rooms. But I'm reluctant to make so many changes so quickly. So I've shelved this idea for now.

Unless you are playing higher stakes, at a normal 100bb buy in game you are going to have a tough time playing more than 17-18% of your hands extremely profitably. Even if you 1 tabled playing 20% + of your hands would be very tough to do profitably. I play about 14/11 and I almost always 16 table and you definatly can't call me a RB pro since my WR earns much more than my RB.
Fair enough. I do play FR as well, so my stats are of course pretty standard TAG for FR games. I certainly don't consider myself to be a nit!
Flash, thanks for the tip, but I'm actually looking for an Auto-Hotkey program, like TableNinjaFT for the PC. For tracking/HUD, I just use Poker Tracker 3, which works natively on the Mac.

welcome to full ring.
honestly, most winning full ring regs play around 12% of hands.
ranges open up a lottt when they're on the btn/in the cutoff but very few hands are played otherwise.
if you look at positional stats for winning regs you'll see an absurdly high vpip from the btn and cutoff (and maybe co+1 depending on the seat etc) and an awkwardly low vpip from other positions. reason for this should be obvious but it reduces down to 12% of hands played. after all, you only get dealt hands on the button one out of nine times per orbit!

I also am brutal at 3betting light vs regs or what to do when I get 3 bet. Also I'm brutal at the bvb situations vs regs, usually get crushed.
And pstars really sucks cause of the SSers. Lately ive been noticing a decent amount of fish at 100nl lately. usually isn't too tough to find a table with a 40/10 drooler on it.

I thought Stars was fixing the SS problem? FTP raised the min buyin to 35BB a few months ago and I think all those guys went over to Stars. FR at FTP is definitely reg-infested, but a lot of these regs are not great. I caught a guy today trying to start 8 deep tables, so I sat with him. He had the same line on every hand and it was easy to crush him.
As far as the 3-betting fad, you're going to need to adapt. People are 3-betting light OOP and then C-betting every flop. You don't know how many times I can float these guys and watch them check the turn and then fold to any bet. Of course, sometimes they get you, but against positionally-aware standard TAGs, I think this usually +EV. It's not even a 6-max thing, people are FIVE-betting at FR on a regular basis at FTP. It's hilarious.
