PokerTracker

In the configuration it's called "Amount Won" but it shows up on HUD as the "Net $ Won"

Either way, what is this number referring to (per session, per filter, etc)

which stat do I use for the total amount of money the player has ever damn won.

I assume this is a PT3 question, not PAH?

Amount Won is the total net amount of money won over whatever hands you are viewing. If you have no filters set it will be the total won - if you filter to a range of dates it will be the money won in that period. If you see this stat in the Sessions tab for an individual session it will be the money won in that session. etc.

thank you. thought it was HUD because the stat seems to be different when displayed in HUD versus regular poker tracker. what's odd is my filters are always set for just that day, and yet there is a huge variety of dollar amounts for this statistic, even when I just start playing (and the players, for that day, should all be $0, and they are not)

The HUD does not take the filters you set in the main application into account.
There are some other filters you can set specific for the HUD by going to Configure -> Configure HUD -> Configure HUD - Cash|Tournament; HUD Options tab.

thank you for the reply. for the Net $ Won amount, can I assume HUD only reads from the current active database (and not from all databases, as it is set for other statistics)?

what I am trying to discover is how I can be playing an opponenent who I have 3,000 hands on, and he is down -$7.52 at nl50. thank you

The Amount Won is just another stat like all the others, so it will be a total from all the databases you have configure the HUD to use. It's not currently possible to show stats based on only the last X hands, although we hope to be able to add that at some point.

It is possible to show the daily amount won in the hud? i mean the same like in pokertracker on the winnings tab/ amount won per day ?

Not at this time, no.
