Converting to global currency

Postby sym25 » Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:05 am

I have $ - my global currency in PT3.
I like to play euro tables at pokerstars and also $ is preferred currency on pokerstrars.
But when i see my winning in PT in global currency ($) and compare it with pokerstars (also $) I see that winning not much and diffirence is too big.
For example Pt3 show winning 105$ but really in casher I have winning 130$. How correct this?

One possible difference is that if PokerStars is giving you an overview of the current value of your bankroll then that will be based on the exchange rate now, for your entire bankroll.
PT3 works out the value of your win/loss for each session using the exchange rate on the day the session was played, so if you had a big win on a day when the rate was higher and a loss on a day when the rate was lower (for example) that could lead to a difference in results.
See the Currency Guide in the Documentation for more information on how currency conversion works in PT3.

Make sure you read the currency documentation thoroughly taking care to understand the difference between using Example 2 vs using Example 3. If you are correctly updating your sessions with the currency tool then it will be fairly close. However if you want it to be penny accurate you will need to calculate and input the exchange rate that you got per-session.
