The Hand Converter Thread.

[regisd]

it looks like the converter is missing all-in bets, at least in tournament play.

putting in this, where i bet all-in for 680:
[ QUOTE ]

** Dealing River ** [ 6h ]
UTG checks.
Heroine is all-In [680]
UTG calls [680].
UTG shows [ 9s, Ac ] a straight, five to nine.
Heroine shows [ Td, Ad ] a straight, six to ten.

gets me this:

UTG checks, UTG calls t680.
Final Pot: t2180

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG has 9s Ac (straight, nine high).
Heroine has Td Ad (straight, ten high).
Outcome: Heroine wins t2180. </font>

Can you PM the entire hand?

Party doesn't bother to say "blah blah bet/raised/calls" if they go all-in, so I've put some half-assed fixes to try to catch all-ins. Looks like they're still mis-firing.

Awesome. Thanks, man.

bison,

As someone who has manually entered a few hands for review, I can honestly say that all the time and efforts that you put into the converter are greatly appreciated!

It is such a wonderful time saving tool! It is also nice in that it puts the hands into a very readable and consistent format.

Thank you very much for all the work that you put into the converter!

1)

Unless you have fixed this recently, your converter does not account for the fact that party almost always lists the wrong seat as the button (at least it does at the six max tables).

Seat 2 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 1: genesh07 ( $170.2 )
Seat 3: magickingdom ( $151 )
Seat 5: Bublik2002 ( $136.3 )
Seat 8: vboi502 ( $165.7 )
Seat 10: soah2 ( $102.6 )
Seat 6: tuando23 ( $43 )
Bublik2002 posts small blind [$1].
tuando23 posts big blind [$2].

In cases like this where the button isn't even a player at the table, your converter doesn't even respond... and you sit there waiting endlessly while trying to figure out what's wrong. This should be relatively simple to fix, by using the position of the blinds to align everyone's position as opposed to what the HH claims is the button.

2)

When the SB raises pre-flop in NL (at party at least; not sure about other sites), the amount listed by the converter is 1 SB lower than what it should be. For example, if the BB is $2 and the SB minraises, the converter would show something like "UTG calls $2... SB raises to $3.... UTG calls $2" or "UTG calls $2.... SB raises to $5... UTG calls $4". I think I've also seen cases where the BB has raised preflop and gets a similar error (his raise being listed as 1 BB less than what he actually raised). That's never happened on a hand that I myself have converted so I'm not quite sure about it.

3)

When players go all-in (once again, I'm not sure to what extent this problem exists beyond party, but I think it exists with most sites) the converter sometimes leaves out their action entirely. And when the action is included, it always says "calls" even if they are betting or raising. When an all-in is omitted early in a multi-way pot, it causes the pot size to be listed incorrectly throughout the rest of the hand.

Maybe I missed it, but Poker Stars Omaha hands don't work either. Pot sizes and stack sizes don't get included, at least in tournament hands.

[PartyGirlUK]

You need to include antes in tourney hands.

[DeeJ]

all-in does not work for Paradise HH either. It converted

DeeJ: Call ($5)
GuyInCO: Raise All-in ($10)
GuyOnButton : Fold

to

Hero calls, CO raises, allin folds, ....

He doesn't "need" to do anything. Ask politely for something that bison is doing out of the kindness of his heart.

The Party button problem got fixed yesterday.

Can you PM me examples for issues 2 and 3?
