1. Make a folder for mining somewhere.
2. Copy an execuatble into this folder and rename it EmpirePoker.exe (or another skin you don't use).
3. Copy FreePHG.exe into this folder also.
4. Open up some tables (see below).
5. Start running FreePHG.exe from your mining folder and you should start to see .hhf files appearing for the tables you are watching.
6. When you want to import these hands, point PT at this folder by pointing it at the EmpirePoker.exe (it will then think this folder is the empire folder and [auto-]import from their).

I do not understand how to follow steps #2 & 3 above (copy an execuatble, etc...).

Can't I just drag the FPHG file into my Empire Poker Hand History folder?
I have tried this and my FPHG downloading is working just fine, however, Poker Tracker will not recognize the files that it is placing in my:

Yes, this is probably the easiest method (assuming you don't use Empire anymore).. Just copy FreePHG into C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\ and then run it from within their. You should also copy the iWitness script into this folder if you want to use iWitness to open the tables (iWitness is like the old partymine).

C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\HandHistories

I think this is where your problem is! Observed HandHistories (.hhf files) should be stored in 'C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\' and only you own hand histories should be stored in 'C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\HandHistories' (ie: just copy and run it from within the same folder as Empire.exe).

Are people successful using the "generic" import (lightning bolt) or Auto-Import Party Poker Logo?

I think either should work, so long as you setup PT to point to 'C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\' and tell it to import observed hand histories.

If you could take a moment, please list VERY SPECIFIC directions on how to:

2. Copy an execuatble into this folder and rename it EmpirePoker.exe
3. Copy FreePHG.exe into this folder also.

If you still can't get it to work by running from within 'C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\', then I can send you a zip with everything and see if that helps, but I think the problem you were having was because you were running FreePHG.exe from within the folder designed to store your own played hands.

I am finally up and working!!!!!!!!! thanks to all of you who helped, i know i had many basic questions, so thanks for the great answers. Took me a week of reading and rereading to find the mistake and this is it (I think)

I think this is where your problem is! Observed HandHistories (.hhf files) should be stored in 'C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\' and only you own hand histories should be stored in 'C:\Program Files\EmpirePoker\HandHistories' (ie: just copy and run it from within the same folder as Empire.exe).

One last question [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] do the files just sit in that folder? do i delete them once a week or just leave them there or what?

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

(now i am off to get iWitness, wish me luck [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
