CONVERTER Ignition/Bodog Hand History Converter Software - Page 51 - Poker Software -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

i second what tracker2208 is saying. it's actually been going on for a month at minimum, and i tried telling people in the bovada thread multiple times but was just ignored. i eventually pmed bodog_ice and he said they're aware of it and working on it. i actually manually went through the first 100 or so and removed each replicated line to fix the hand histories, but i play way too much and it takes way too long to fix. you'd need a script or something added to the bovada hand history converter to make it easier to deal with. i'll probably end up deleting all hand histories that are affected by this bug and just start tracking again once bovada fixes the bug since its on them server side.

it appears that the results are accurate even with the importing errors, but it completely screws up your database as far as being able to review hands. when reviewing a hand, the program thinks you made the same raise 10-15 times. so frustrating. this can also be seen when reviewing hands in bovada's hand history replayer as well. the same action will be taken 10-15 times until the players stack is negative.

by the way freakdaddy, which of the hm1/hm2 or pt3/pt4 programs do you recommend best for using the HH converter? HM1 seems like the best option since they no longer update it which means no having to play cat and mouse and constantly patch in ways to show hands. (i'm asking which of the 4 strictly for results tracking, not necessarily reviewing.)

also, it's only 2-4 hands per tournament that is affected, but it's in EVERY file, which means they're all corrupt with at least 1 or 2, sometimes more, it's random and it varies. For what it's worth, i grind SNG's pretty much exclusively, so this is where it's happening.

Yeah it's interesting. It's in the original Bovada hand, it's not something the converter is doing. I'm not sure why it's doing this on some of them. I just did a couple of tournaments and didn't have this occur. The ones I was just sent though had this issue a few times. It sucks bovada hasn't fixed it, but there might be something we can do in the converter to correct it. I sent it to our developer.

Thanks

This option creates a unique player ID for each player at the table. Otherwise the converter will convert the names as positions at the table, and these stats will converge together over time. Some people want one over another.

The message is to inform you that you'll need to enable or disable depending on the version you're running. Some PT versions will not support known hole cards.

Summarized: if I try to convert 20 files it'll skip a file or two and I'll have to re-convert it all 20 files manually from the processed hands folder in order to convert them all.

I like the summary part, thanks.

lol I'm honestly not sure. I haven't seen this happen, or have anyone report something like this. I convert my own hands also, and I've never had this happen in my own sample which is probably up over 200k hands now.

Can you send me some of those that didn't convert? I can send them to the developer and see if he has any ideas.

This is very broken with PT4

Running PT 4.11.9
Running BHC 1.0.13

If I don't include hole cards in the conversation, I can't see showdown cards

If I do include hole cards, the filters are not working well. It doesn't show many hands.

Some hands it won't show in the basic category, I have to click on advanced, some hands it wont show in advanced, I have to click on basic.

I'm on very little sleep and I just dropped $150 on PT + what I paid for BHC. I hope I can get this working.

Why do you have such an old version of the converter? Are you sure you're talking about the right product? I think you're talking about the catcher. If that's the case, this is not the correct thread. It's in the software thread.

Click on settings in the converter. Uncheck show all known hole cards. You have a version (I'm assuming PT), that doesn't support known hole cards.

You're likely not doing something correct. What kinds of files are you trying to convert? Did you watch the tutorial because it might help you get it set correctly?

Also, anyone know what we need to do to get the raw hand data to input into http://www.handconverter.com/ so I can post hands to the FR microstakes forum?

These are the same files? I can't think of a reason they would work on 1 PC and not the other unless some step isn't being done correctly. I'm not really sure what to suggest honestly. Can you take 1 of the same files that converts on your win 7 system and try it on your XP system?

This is just a shot in the dark, but if I were you I would (in no particular order); run the converter as administrator, try to convert 1 file at a time, move the original hand histories to a different folder before conversion, select a different output location, and finally open the original hand histories with Notepad to make sure the files aren't corrupted. I wouldn't be surprise if there was something funky with the folder security settings.

I'm just guessing right now too because I've never seen anything like this. You can send the log file for BHC (it's in the root directory, which sounds like you know where this is already) to support. We can look to see if there's any clues in the error log.

I'm not sure what else to suggest right now, but I'll also ask the developer when he's in tomorrow and see what he says.

Hey having an issue where I'm not able to see my SD cards, and not sure if I want to check the enable known hole cards box - using PT4 (4.10.9) and Converter 1.0.31

Hello,

Sorry if this question has been asked already. Is there a way to have the stats record individual opponents? Instead of lumping all the UTG's I have ever played against together?

Thanks!

I know that 4.11.9 and the latest version of the converter (1.0.32), work perfect together. I'm not 100% sure about hole cards being enabled in .10.9. I believe this works also. You can try enabling them and just convert a small file. If it doesn't import, just update your PT4 and then enable the hole cards and you'll be fine.

Click settings in the converter, and enable unique player ID. It will create a unique player name for each player at the table and when new players leave and come.

Thanks for the response. I have some follow up questions though.

- Do you know which versions(s) of PT4 that work with hole card feature?
- Randomize player ID will basically just keep table stats otherwise all hands for UTG will be merged together leading to some funky HUD stats. Is that correct? Seems like both options should be checked by default.

No, the randomize player ID will create a unique player ID for each player, and generate a new one if that player leaves and a new one sits. It will not merge anything into UTG, CO, etc..
