Juk,
I'm testing on play money tables because I'm from the US and can't use my account for real $$. However, I'm in Canada at my gf's place and she's experiencing the same problems I had outlined above at the real money tables. The betpot script seems to be missing information (mainly any callers in the hand, and what street it's on) from the hand histories.
When I saw that the betpot wasn't calculating those things, I immediately checked the FreePHG histories and saw that observed hands were writing in real time, but played hands weren't. Sometimes they finish, and sometimes they don't, but one thing is for sure...Played hands are never written in real time past the dealing of down cards.
Consequently, the betpot script is not adding in limpers and is not able to realize the street (causing abnormally small postflop bets).
One thing that seems strange is that betpot is looking to make a larger bet (almost perfect [just about pot sized]) when there's a raise in front of us, but it's still smaller than a pot sized raise if there are coldcallers (??). Dunno why.
Here are some examples from watching my gf play 400NL...
She opens first - $14
She opens after two limpers - $14
Someone raises to $14, and she reraises - $48
Someone raises to $14, there are two callers for $14, she reraises - $48
She's first to bet on the flop into a $50 pot - $8 (same small amounts come up for the turn and river opening bets)
All of these things are happening with the potbet size set to 1 preflop, 0.75 on the flop, and 0.66 for the turn and river.
The script behaves similarly for $25NL and 25NL play money tables. When you sit out from a table, FreePHG writes the whole hand. When you sit in, it stops at ** Dealing down cards **. There is no extra info in the "live" subfolder, but I have noticed that the full hand histories for played hands ARE being written into the PartyGaming/PartyPoker folder under a different file name (so I can't direct FreePHG there
).
