I datamine a fair few hands and use the "don't store the actual hand history option". It would be nice for users who use this option to be able to "trim" their observed hand db. For example, you could have an option along the lines of "delete all observed hand statistics for any one player over and above 2000 hands. This would insure that the stats on all players are recent and allow a far more complete db overall.

The problem with this though is that individual hands affect everybody who was at the table. Say you have player x with 2k hands and you only want to keep the most recent 2k hands. If somebody at the table has less than 2k hands do you delete their hands as well? I might be missing something but I thought that was the reason why you can't do that currently with PT.

But they are hands where the hand history is not kept, so the stats are just individual stats that exist for each player seperately without the hand history once the hand has been processed and deleted- so these statistics don't exist in relation to any other player.

You're referring to stats and the db as if they are the same thing, PT stores a lot more than just stats. Take a look at the player_winnings table and you'll see that the hand does relate to every other player.
To ensure that all STATS are recent, PAHud needs a filter which is more granular/flexible than 'Show Stats from the Last X Hands Only'
