Instructions for railing Pokerstars in the US

Download Pokerstars from here: http://77.87.180.178/PokerStarsInstall.exe
Mac version: http://77.87.180.182/PokerStarsInstall.pkg.zip

Download Full Tilt Poker from here: http://download.cnet.com/Full-Tilt-P...-75206368.html and auto update the client.


How to capture Stars hand histories:

On the Stars table click the "previous hand" link on the top left, which brings up the hand history box. Click the hand you want to post, Ctrl+A to select, Ctrl+C to copy. Bring up the converter tab in your browser, Ctrl+A/Ctrl+V on the left hand box to paste the new hh. Click the "Convert" button. Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C on the right hand box to copy the converted hand, Ctrl+V into the quick reply box on here.

We generally post ~200bb+ pots, but if there's an interesting hand/showdown, or if there's not much action feel free to post smaller ones.


Posting hands

Please use the following options for converting hands:

Hand converter that supports Pokerstars Run-it-twice feature: http://www.railhand.com
Just paste your hand history, convert, copy generated code and paste in this thread.

Preferred by most: http://www.handconverter.com.
Set to "Two Plus Two Forums" output, "Use player names" and "Show results". You can convert multiple hand histories at once, but please try to separate them once pasted into your reply for ease of reading (e.g type a between hands).

If that converter is down (happens occasionally): http://www.pokerconverter.com.
Set to "Show all names", "2+2 Forums" output and tick "Show results". You need to reset this converter after every hand. I use this converter for NL hands, to make them easily distinguishable from PLO hands.

If you want to post 2-7 TD hands: http://www.feralcowpoker.com.
Set it to "Two Plus Two - textonly" output, and show results and player names.

Posting screenshots

Hyperdesktop is a fantastic app for capturing screenshots and auto-uploading them to Imgur. It gives you the link to post here, no need to even visit the hosting site.

As mentioned before as of January 1st Highstakes DB does not provide Pokerstars losers list for longer that 7 day periods.

4 players with a 7 digit month. Been a while since we've seen that. FTP is back!

Isildur with profit in all 4 games is pretty nice as well.

Action has really been big on ftp lately. Hope to get another actionpacked month!

Isildur confirmed king of draw

Additional to the note about HSDB no longer showing losers on Stars for >7 day period, they also don't track 25/50 on that site anymore (still tracking 25/50 on FTP tho)

gargar, you're amazing.

ugh, tough month for kanu... hope he recovers

1.5mil for Mr.Blom on LIMIT draw who would believe....

5 players...bttech86 on FTP = ben86 on stars

Great work OP, I think we reckon barcode = trex = hac dang can probably be added to known players now?

Thanks for the good work! Really appreciate it.

Trully amazinh worl gargar

$1k/$2k Cash game running in Melbourne right now. Will make my way over in a while to see who's in the game!

Twitter: An AU$1,000/AU$2,000 NLH game just started here at @CrownPoker. If anyone is interested, contact @saintfletcha.

Great job again Gar. Thank you !

Could add Ivey (Polarizing) to known players.

He's there

Gogo Isil! <3
