converts to:

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t250 (4 handed)

but the Big Blind is t500.

Bison, Daneil Negreanu's Forum's have been using your converter tool for quite a while. I am the moderator there and a few of the members are asking if there is any way for our forum to get its own format on the list? As of now we run into problems with people not using a format that works, and we aren't able to keep anything uniform.

Thank you for your time, this tool has helped a lot.

Looks like we're still missing all-In bets at party/empire. Example hand that doesn't catch the all-in correctly:

player8 shows [ Ad, 9h ] two pairs, aces and nines.
Hero shows [ Kc, 4c ] a flush, ace high.
Hero wins $79.9 from the main pot with a flush, ace high.

Two things I noticed (might or might not matter depending on how your regex is written): After an all-in bet, there are two spaces between the action and the amount, whereas with a bet/call/raise there's only one. (This is almost impossible to see unless you're reading it in a fixed-pitch font!) Also, there's no period at the end of an all-in, whereas there is a period at the end of all the other actions.

Specifically:

player8 is all-In [$17] # two spaces, no period
Hero calls [$17]. # one space, period

After a bit more pecking, I think the space is relevant. If I change "player8 is all-In [$17]" to "player8 bets [$17]" it's still busted. But if I use "player8 bets [$17]" with one space it works.

I suppose you could either code up a new action for "goes all in" and just parse that, or do the extra logic to figure out whether "is all-In" translates to "bets" "calls" or "raises". Personally, I think it's more useful (and probably easier for you to code) if you treat all-in as it's own action, since all in can in some cases be a partial bet (which you probably don't trap in the existing code).

Anyway, this thing is awesome and having some idea how much time you've spent on it, the poker world owes you a debt of gratitute. ;-)

Have you considered open sourceing the software?
In that way you could get some help with the maintenance...
(I have some time to waste myself).

It truncates the preflop and stacks... everything postflop looks right.
