May I ask the reason for this, would you prefer nobody could datamine or just the ultra rich?

Simply the fewer the better. I'd be similarly happy if they only sold to players over 7 foot tall (or any other 'small' group).

It wont let me unzip the file. It tells me its not a valid archive. Any ideas?

[/ QUOTE ]

No idea why but... Download it from Internet Explorer and it seems to work. From Firefox the archive is invalid.

That did it. Thx

well we tried to contain the other program and that succeeded. the reason for that is because partypoker clearly reads 2+2 and it's an incredibly simple loophole to fix (though i don't think PTH will be effected if they do fix the loophole). i strongly believe that this stuff should be kept underground.

I am not sure if this post may get deleted anyway, but hopefully by then enough people will see their is a free alternative. If Party do read these threads then their are 2/3 existing threads which clearly talk about, and show that this loophole exists.

My intention is not to get this loophole fixed, but is simply to try to put an end to the kind of thing Party gets mad at (ie: other people/companies profiting). As TT pointed out in another thread, it may even turn out they left this loophole for us to use (they also left Dealer Chat for some unknown reason, and today's update hasn't blocked either).

I think if they are going to block this then at worse this simply accelerates the inevitable. Also, it is not the end of the world if they do fix this loophole. This is not the only method which can be used, it is just the most obvious/simple one to implement. If they do decide to plug this loophole, then I will obviously not be as keen publicise any other methods I have looked into and will be forced to keep them underground.

i know your intentions. you are good at writing these programs and it seems to have become a passion of yours. i have a lot of respect for you for putting in the time and not charging (yet anyway) for your hard work. i didn't mean to discredit anything you've done. it was only a matter of time before this happened

It's late and I'm done playing for the night so will wait til tomorrow to try this out. I too got the "corrupt file" thing with Firefox and downloaded with IE.

For what it's worth, I think you have done exactly the right thing. From the bottom of my anarchist heart I thank you for reinforcing a bit of my faith in the true nature of the human animal.

is there a way to auto import the .hhf files that get saved?

[Mike Moon]

Sounds like a great thing, will try it out after work.
Just to the clarify (I´ve never used any of these apps before), you mean: I can start this before going work and when I come home import the harvest of the day to PT.

I support your belief in sharing knowledge whether it´s at work, hobbies or among friends. You give and take.
Do you have any experience in laboring with PT databases?

Great stuff Juk!

As for auto-importing to PT, I did this:

(1) In FreePHG folder, create a new textfile and name it as the executable file of a Party skin you don't use in PT, say "EmpirePoker.exe".

(2) In PT, click Program File Locations (in Auto-Import window) and choose this new dummy executable file for EmpirePoker.

This is great! Awfully kind of you to do this for free sir.

I do wonder how harsh Party will react if they find out you are using this mining tool. I think I'm just going to run this program on another computer than I use for playing and not log in to Party Poker. That way, I can only mine 4 tables, but I wouldn't want to pull a ZeeJustin [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] .

[/ QUOTE ]First, there's no reason to leave all the importing till the end of the day. Import every 30 or 60 minutes in Pokertracker so you don't have hours of importing to do when you want to play that night.

Second, you can open 10 tables, but you'll get lots of half-populated tables, and some totally dead ones. If you use iWitness, you can keep any number of tables open, as well as coordinate multiple accounts or machines observing together.

[/ QUOTE ]Of course. Just do the same steps you did a month ago, only now open FPHG first.

Juk's app only makes the new Party more like the old Party. That's all.
