And how would you do that though? You can only track them for that session. That's why we would do it random, because you'd see them only for that particular session. I can't see why you'd want to give them a particular name.

You can go into the processed hand folder and re-convert the hand(s) that you messed up. I think you'd have to delete them from your database first though.

My copy always allows me to go straight to converting HH's. It unregistered I guess and won't allow me to re-enter my registration info. It says "There were errors during registration. You can retry registering. If problems persist please contact customer service."

And above that it says "Registering online. Please be patient..."

Is it just down right now? And I won't have to buy another registration key, right?

It would be tough for your program to do, but it could be done. Way to much UI to design and make sense to the user, though, so probably not worth it.

I can see instances where trying to track across sessions is viable, but they are still shots in the dark. For example, I see a few players that pop up every night that play the same style. Something crazy like 50-80 VPIP, 40-50PFR, insane 3bet, and very aggro post flop. After a few hands, I have these guys identified and I can watch them and note that they are taking the same lines as I have seen before. So I make an assumption that it is the same player(s) and adjust accordingly. Still, it is a leap that these are the same guys, and you really couldn't do it on the more "normal" players that have reggish or passive fish stats; just too many of them that play the same way. Your program would have to implement some kind of interface that lets the user tell it which players to combine/rename. That would be way too cumbersome imo.

A better solution for the user is to wait until the random naming thing is implemented, take some notes, and use PT4 or HM2 to alias these players together. So, if you feel confident that they are the same player, make an alias that says random1fromMonday = random333fromWed = randomw888fromFriday, etc. Maybe from their style or notes you have on them. Maybe they always say the same thing in chat. Who knows? That would on the user to decide the alias.

Even without trying to guess the exact player, I am really looking forward to the random names thing. Using that, we can alias similar players together to get a better population estimate based on stats. For example, I can look through old hands and see that these anon players are bluffing the river with X or better Y% of the time. But that includes everyone from the 3/3 nit to the 90/80 aggrotard, so that population estimate is a bit skewed. If I can alias all the nits together, all the passives together, etc, then I have a read that says "this kind of player is betting X here Y% of the time."

I just had to re-register after updating to the latest version. I found my registration key from an old email and copied it into the clipboard buffer. When I clicked on the cash game to register, the key was automatically populated into the registration key field. I then entered my name and was able to register the cash game. I repeated for the other cash game. I'm now considering whether to purchase a registration key for the tournaments. How's the converter been working for tournaments?

No, you should be ok. If you updated from a really old version, you might need to re-register. But you'll just need to re-enter the key. If you still have an issue, just e-mail support and they can assist you.

Yeah, there's no way to accurately do this man. No way at all that would make any sense, or deliver any reliable information. Trust me. I've looked at this at multiple levels. The best we can do is we're adding in logic that will allow for random naming when new players come to the table, and that way you can see who you are facing when you review your hands per session. You can either lump them all together, or separate the players out per session. Beyond that, there's nothing else you can do.

I search Hero and I get jack. Do you notice anything from these screenshots that I took?

Do you have any hands that are from pokerstars? Just put utg in the player search. See if you see anything? Is this a new database or previous? I'd update your HM1 first since it's pretty old, and then try and import, and if you're still having an issue, make a new database and re-import. Something may be corrupt with the database itself.

Zero pokerstars hands.
I get nothing when I search utg.
Previous database.


I'll try to do those things you mentioned. I haven't used HM since bovada went anonymous.

I get the exact same problem as Halstad. Would making a new database remove the previous hands (not from Bovada) and I would have to reimport those?

Is this the trial? What kinds of hands are these? Cash, tournament?

No, it will just keep them separate. You can export and re-import them into the new DB if you want everything in one DB. I'd suggest keeping them separate because the speed will be much faster.

Any ways, something you guys aren't doing correct. Just trying to narrow down what it is though.

if I buy pt4, will i be able to see EV for husngs?

Fire some reason the converter is not working. When I put the source to the correct folder it used to start immediately but now it no longer.can you help me fix this

cash, no it's not the trial. I paid for the product a couple weeks ago.

I looked around, but how do you update HM?

For most yes. We have one other thing we want to change for HUSNG because for some reason sometimes they aren't writing the results. You can manually change this. But right now, for some reason husng's do cause problems with EV. Everything else will work fine, and for some types of these, it's ok. Some have shown some issues that may be fixable. I don't know for 100% yet though.

Sorry, not really clear what you're asking. you're saying the converter won't convert? Give me more specific details and I can help.

That's the latest HM1 releases. I'd try updating and make a new database. Just start from scratch with the bovada hands. It will be much faster, and you'll know you're doing everything right from the beginning. It's not some sorcery, it will work when you have everything else working correct. Let me know what happens.

Yes I'm relaying it to the correct folder but the converter is no longer working. It simply just sits there and doesn't do anything

Just sent an e-mail about this, but I'd figure I'd post here too, just in case:

I bought the Bovada Hand History Conerter off the site on October 15th, 2013 after sinking some time into the LHE games on Bovada. Everything worked completely fine when I activated it then, but now when I launch the program it asks me to "Register Cash NL," as if I still had the trial version.

When I type in the serial included in my October 15th e-mail, it tells me that a valid license could not be detected.

EDIT: I tried deleting BovadaHandConverter.lic and re-registering, but now a window just pops up telling me that "the serial number is invalid or could not be used to unlock the software." What?

I created a new database and everything seems to be working now.

Created a new database and still can't import. Exact same error. Could I send you one of the HH files to see if it converted correctly?

Are you sure there's hands there? Maybe try re-installing?

Very likely something changed on the hardware profile of your system or the license somehow got corrupted. I'm sure support will send you a solution if you e-mailed.

Boom. Knew we'd get it eventually.
