The Hand Converter Thread.
 

(bisonbison's hand converter)

In an attempt to cut down on my PM traffic, I'm going to try to centralize all questions, concerns, support requests and suggestions for my hand converter in this thread. This should hopefully cut down on the repetitive requests for Crypto support (some day soon, I swear), and provide a public space for feedback on what is working and updates on what's been fixed.

There was a converter thread in Micro that I started last year, but it's huge and unwieldy now, and I'm starting over.

If you have a specific hand that isn't working, you can post it here or you can PM it to me. Pretty much everything else but commercial inquiries should be posted in this thread.

So, without further ado:

KNOWN ISSUES 1/8/05
1. Crypto Site support.
I have a sufficient number of hand histories to add crypto HE ring games. The delay is entirely mine. I haven't coded it yet. I hope to do so soon.

2. Party/Affiliate Stud and Stud/8 Hands.
Party stud hands should still convert if you're using the emailed version. Unfortunately, the online/ondisk version does not list each upcard as it is dealt, rendering the converter useless. There is no projected fix for this until Party changes their format. If you care a lot, e-mail Party.

3. Party/Affiliate Omaha Hands.
There is a known problem with the results processor for Party O/hi and O/8 hands. I did not properly take the sheer number of hand combinations into account. I am working this very slowly.


What am I missing?

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

6 max issues with Pokerstars. Next time I run into one I'll PM you he hand.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

Party online/disk tournament hands don't convert.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

SNGs, multis or steps? Or D, all of the above?

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

I like to post entire SNG/MTT histories. A shame you can only convert one hand at a time via your tool.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

I havent tried steps, so I can only answer E (A+B and maybe C implying D)

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

can you PM me one hand each from a multi and a SNG?

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

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.

Re: The Hand Converter Thread.
 

Okay, I think I've gotten all the on-disk versions of tourney hands to convert:
