Why isn't PT accurate?

I've used pokertracker for a couple of years now and I can't remember ever having seen a session been spot on with regards to "Amount won". It's never FAR off, but it's always 5% over or below. This is science, it should be accurate. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I'm playing on pokerstars and partypoker.

I don't know where to start looking, so I'd appreciate some input here. Can it have anything to do with rake?

Ok maybe i was a little quick on the trigger there... Seems like 3 of my last 6 sessions are spot on actually. One is $1.50 off (which I find strange since I play $10/20), one is $41.50 and the last $20.

you might try the "my day starts at" if your playing from one day to the next it could be getting confused as to what you want.

Another thing it could be is 1 or 2 particular HH's not importing correctly during the session.

I'm not the smartest guy around these parts, but thought I might give you a few suggestions.

Also, if you leave the table before the next hand starts and played in the prior hand, it probably won't save the hand history, so you'll be off there.

PT isn't 100% accurate as far as I can see though, but I have no idea what the other source of inaccuracy is.

Ok thanks. I'll look into those three things.
