I've told bison before that he should have one of those Paypal tip jars on the bottom of the site. But it doesn't seem like it's part of his nature.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

He really should, or some way to enable people to say "thanks" in some way. I know I would.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

I was actually just coming here to say thanks, but people already have it going so just add me to the list!

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

hi bison,

I was wondering if there were any future plans to convert prima hands?

One way of possibly doing this is coding the converter to read pokertracker hand histories. Then we could copy/paste the hand histories from pokertracker, and that would cover a multitude of sites.

I greatly appreciate the use of the converter. It makes the posted hands easy to read. I try to post my hands in a similar fashion, but typing them out can take a while.

Thanks for investing so much time in the converter. I know everyone here appreciates it!

PT hand histories are saved in the same format they were imported, so I don't think this helps.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

I've been using pokerroom, and although you list their ring games as being supported, I must be missing something as they're not working correctly. If anything, can you just post a random party hand so I can edit it around?

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

ah yeah, they changed formats again last month.

known issue #5.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

Thanks Tim, I didn't know that. I always thought PT changed the hands to a standard format.

Okay.

Known issues:
4. Multiple history conversions.
This has been discussed before, but I haven't looked into it much. This should be doable, but it's still a low priority.

Ed's original perl script, and my first converter in vbs both were designed for multiple postings. I broke away from that to add in more features to the hand conversion but it's not particularly hard to implement for any one site.

The problem I have, and the main reason I lost interest in the project is that I found using a converter really hurt the development of my game. Writing out hands forced me to think about how they were played and gave me a basis for doing at the table replay in future sessions.

With that being said, a 100 hands style post can be very helpfull to a new player, since it gives reviewers a decent size window to spot problems. It's not perfect but the larger the review set certainly the better the advice can be.
