Poker Tracker 4 questions

Hello and thank you for reading. I recently started a PT4 trial and have a few questions. I have done Poker Copilot before so I have a little HUD experience but there's a couple things I'd like to square away with to better get the most out of PT4. I have browsed around the software and tried to navigate the site's forums and am getting to the end of the rope where I'm saying fuckit, I'll ask Reddit.

How do I edit the on screen HUD, change the stats displayed, primarily everything on there is pre-flop relevant and I'd like it to include agro % so without clicking the thing every time I can get a sense of what action I can expect post flop.

Secondly, how do I keep it from resetting the HUD back to zero hands (I can really only tell because after starting a second tournament on it my hands revert to zero despite seeing the first tournament's hand history still present in the tracker). It doesn't do too much good to not be building a cumulative database on both myself and my opponents. Myself I can see in the tracker itself but it'd be nice to, after playing so many live games and tourneys I see a player sit down with stats so I'm not starting from scratch every session.

And lastly, just a general question about trackers. How does a breaking even player justify spending $70 (or however much these trackers are). I just love reading about and playing poker. I'd like to think that with it and continued development of understanding the game and players that'd I'd make up that money but that's a real conditional sort of situation.

Thanks again for any input.

If you go to HUD -> Edit HUD Profiles' you can edit existing HUD Profiles or create your own - see this guide:

Your own HUD statistics while playing are session only by design however opponent statistics in the HUD will default to lifetime statistics so if you have played with a player previously you will see those stats. With regards to your own personal HUD as your own number of hands increases your lifetime stats don't change much if at all between hands but your image at each individual table may vary considerably depending on the cards you've been dealt or your opponents. If you want to see your lifetime stats for analysis purposes you can do so in your PokerTracker 4 reports or load up a hand (any hand) in the replayer and turn the 'Show Hero LifeTime Stats' option on via the 'Options' button.

All sorts of players use PokerTracker for different reasons but if you are consuming poker content and learning about the game outside of playing then PokerTracker has the tools available for you to review and analyse your play.
