Synopsis
Gold Mine Poker is a simple program that does its job. You can use Gold Mine Poker to data mine hand histories from a variety of skins on the iPoker network. The only drawback is that your computer is virtually unusable for other things while Gold Mine Poker is running. If you're playing regularly at the same site at the same levels, running a data mining application to track all the regular players can help you have a better overall win rate by getting better reads on your opponents.

Full Review
Gold Mine Poker is easy enough for any level of poker player to be able to use it immediately. You simply open all of the tables you wish to data mine and then launch the Gold Mine Poker application. It handles everything else from there and then you just need to import all the mined hands into PokerTracker. At just $24.99 this program is cheap enough that with just one or two improved reads, it will have already paid for itself.
If you are playing regularly on the iPoker network, then you should definitely have this tool and be running it whenever you aren't doing anything with your computer. The one drawback is that it makes your computer virtually unusable for other purposes while it is running.
It is compatible with both Hold'em and Omaha and runs on any of a half-dozen or so iPoker skins. Since every skin has the same tables, you can run Gold Mine Poker on a different skin than the one you play on without having any compatibility issues.
Couple this program with a fish finding/table selection software running off your now heavily-populated PokerTracker database to greatly improve your win-rate.
