PokerMemento is a freeware poker game manager, crammed with features:


IMPORT GAMES
PokerMemento lets you import poker games from text-based hand history files, and store them in a single database file. A well-designed Lua scripting language makes the parser highly dynamic, capable of parsing almost any poker game log. Automatic hand history import with filtering options is also available.

SEARCH GAMES
You can search for games matching certain criteria, grade your games and tag them with personal comments. PokerMemento is also able to find games by their characteristics; such as 'Bad beat' or 'Drawing Dead'.

REPLAY GAMES
When you have found the games you are looking for, you can put them in a replay queue, and then sit back and watch your own WSOP - in fullscreen if you'd like! The rendering of the poker table is also controlled by the script engine, which effectively allows for any visual experience. PokerMemento even lets you generate a game video/animation - to be published on YouTube or anywhere else on the web.

SHARE GAMES
My goal of this software is to change the way online poker players think about their games - a day, a week, or any other period of time after the games took place. PokerMemento users can instantly share their poker experience via MSN and ICQ.

ANALYZE GAMES
PokerMemento has a very powerful statistics engine, which can easily produce nice 2D/3D column charts, bar charts, point charts, pie charts, line charts, and area charts from a simple data query. The Database Manual includes all information you will need to write your own queries.

PokerMemento SDK
This initial release of PokerMemento comes with a few scripts for the most popular poker sites. I alone cannot make the parser fully compatible with all poker client software, but with the help of the community this is a feasible task. The PokerMemento SDK comes with a set of classes and functions that let you write Lua scripts for your favorite poker site. Well-written scripts might be included in future releases.

looks really nice!...love the fact that the graphics are the same as the site in which you played the hands...

I can't really load my HH. The option is "greyd out"

go tot the import menu. on the left side is the script tab. click on script and select the matching poker client to your handhistories. click on custom directory or custom file and select the source... that should do the trick

first i have to say i like the basic idea of this project and i was really happy to recognize that it supports not only NLHE.

here is a short summary about my first impression...

a) installation worked fine. however, i run the installation as an admin since it was a msi. so it was surprising to me that i had to approve uac a second time. looks like the enhanced user rights flag isn´t set. haven´t tried to validate the msi via orca... may be you should try and fix it.

b) setting up database was no problem. got connected instantly.

c) when it came to importing hands i first tried to click custom directory... well you should put the scriptengine preselection in the submenu or make it a s a radio button and give it a standard value.

d) as i have pt3 running i tried to import the hh´s out of the pt3... well guess you know the result *lol

e) i couldn´t find a way to setup your software to use a custom path for automated hh importing since i don´t use the standard paths in any pokerclient.

f) i store my hh´s centralized for all pokerroom clients because i use pt3 and hem. so your way of import is a big problem to me since i cannot make a proper preselection of the script...

g) as result i have to miport hh´s file by file as played by table and time...

i like some of the features your product offers. for example to find a category of played hands and replay them. i really like the feature you developed to exchange hh´s! unfortunately the problems i experienced in your first version are to big to make this software usable for me.

i would suggest the following improvements:

- add support for pt3 and hem database
- add support for importing hands as text out of pt3/hem
- move the script selection to the import dialog as an option
- add a multi script engine

this would make the software a great product to use. if you are going to add stats extraction for players and adding export features for forums you would be top of the crown...

btw. one last question... is this progi running tommorow? in the about section it says the license is only valid until today...

vvolf69, thanks for your feedback.

a) Good catch. I'll look into it.
c) I actually thought about that during a cup of coffee, and decided that the user must explicitly choose a poker client. Perhaps a bad decision. I'll grab another cup and see if I change my mind...
d) Is their HH format publically available?
e) The idea is that you should not have to do this. If you look in the LUA scripts, this path is read from the registry. Maybe it's a good idea to let the user override the script in case it fails?
f) Please clarify. Would a preselection (saved between sessions) be enough for your needs?
g) Perhaps I should allow for "Try all parsers"?


Yes, the program will run tomorrow too. The software is free, but requires a serial number. The serial number will be valid for N days (N=14 at the moment) after which you click a button and receive a new serial number (it's really simple if you own an e-mail address :P). The reason for this reactivation? I decided I need to know the number of active users in order to justify development time

Actually, I think you can create a PT3/HEM HH importer using the script engine (one script for each piece of software). That's what the SDK is for

Of course, in an ideal world you would not have to do that (the developer would already have done the job :P).

Anyway, to convert PT3/HEM text files I need a bunch of HH logs. Where can I find that?

it´s fine to let the user select which script he wants to run for import. only the menu structure isn´t logical to me. it´s gainst the normal windows look&feel.

i can hook you up with some hh´s i have tried. will send you a pm...

didn´t knew that. sorry. will give it another try tonight.

my problem should be similar to all other users of pt3 or hem. both programs read the hh´s and store them in the db. after that thy move the processed files to a backup directory. because in pt3 or hem it doesn´t matter if the hh´s are mixed i guess most people will do this. so all my already processed hh´s are in the same directory.

so i cannot say i make now an import of this directory and use the ftp script for grabbing because i also have a lot of stars and others hh´s in this directory.

for life import it doesn´t matter but for initial import or if i´m not running your software when playing it will end in a problem because the software tries to import a lot of hands which doesn´t match the script.

this would fix it... but i don´t think that this is needed. i would look for a keyword in the header. all pokerrooms store informations about the hh in the header. searching the header for the name of the pokerroom and using the corelating script should be suficient. i don´t know which way would be more efficient... to try all or scan for the correct one...

i understand your reason for that. no problem to me. was just curios about it...

lol... i´m a system engineer and not a solution developer. when i´m going to code this it will may control the installation of any given remote client os but i´m in doubt that it will read even a single hh...

i have a lot of ideas for this kind of software and actually i´m using a lot of tools which do the whole thing to me so i apreciate every software development which goes in this direction.

First impressions, I can see you have put a lot of work into this and it shows.

Only spent a short while trying it out but will have a better look when time permits.

+1 to what vv said about importing HH.
I use HM, so it would be good to be able to point memento to the processed history folder.

I tried it on a backup computer with some older histories so the import errors I saw may be a result of that?

I really liked the features of popopups replayer, so if I can use it to replace what was possible with that I would be a happy bunny.

As regards the rest of it, I guess you need to focus on what HM and PT3 cant currently or likely to be able to do and concentrate your efforts there.

As it stands I can definitely see a lot of potential, and yeah I would be willing to ante up for it.

hmmm... i gave it another try last night. autoimport didn´t work and the feature was greyed out in the menu. looks like the autoimport feature doesn´t recognize the paths correctly.

Thanks for feedback.

* PT3/HEM in text format should be no problem at all. All I need is a bunch of HH files generated by the two.

* The "Log Directory" thingy has been a problem, so for the next release I'll make it possible to override these folders. That makes perfect sense! If the menu item is grayed out, it means the folder could not be determined. There are a number of possible causes:
1) Poker client software was updated and the Registry setting was changed/removed. This is a weak point, I know.
2) Roaming in Vista/W7 implies further problems with the registry/appdata.

In an ideal world, the script should take care of that. Nevertheless, I'll make it possible to override it

* akaAlso, did you try to import old PartyPoker/PokerStars/FullTiltPoker logs and received errors (warnings can be dismissed)? I would really like to have more info on this one. Thanks.

Ok, implementing the "folder override" feature it now. Is there a need for one specific folder for each poker client or is a global folder, used by all clients, enough?

(Please note, I'm always up for an overkill. If I know there is a better solution, I have to implement it :P)

for me would be one global folder enough but the override feature for each clinet would be a better solution as it makes the user independent of the autopath feature. in case of a change of a poker client you can easily switch to the override when the auto function doesn´t work...

ps: you don´t have enough posts to get pm´s so it´s a little bit trick to send you a downloadlink for hh´s

Please send it to the support e-mail found in the poker software. (support "at" thesoftwarenameobviously.com)

Thanks

Just to check, it supports all stud variations (hi/lo,razz etc?)?

Btw, you should talk with the guys with FPDB that also has a freeware-PT-clone. They also support drawgames but the software is soso to be honest. I just want to be able to see all my stats for all games etc so I dont lose a lot in one of the HORSE-games etc.

It supports Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. If many users would want support for Razz, then I would definitely implement it. Currently I'm busy finalizing v1.01 (which will actually be a great improvement from v1.0).

Will 1.01 offer support for 10-seat games?

Stud and Razz support sounds awesome. I like the guy above's suggestion of Draw too (particularly Triple Draw). If one of the upcoming versions supports those, I will definitely install and test it out, as well as post some feedback. I still use PokerHands for Triple Draw, and PT-Stud.

10-seat games are already supported. Did you experience some problems?
Actually, if the number of seats is not explicitly spelled out in the imported Hand History file, the number of seats will be 10.

v1.01 focuses on game import. PT3-exported games are now parsed correctly, and a new import mode allows you to automatically "try all parsers". Also, it's some 30% faster than before. Another improvement is the possibility to override the default Hand History folders for each poker client.

There's a survey on the webpage where this particular question is asked. Not many have answered so far... give it a month or so and we'll see what might get implemented
http://www.pokermemento.com/index.ph...ite-poker-game

i used your forum and suggested EV calculation as a feature :-)

Just released v1.0.1. Most issues discussed are now fixed, among other things.

The parser is some 40% faster now!

Yeah, and I replied to it too. Not sure exactly what you are requesting :P

Is this program still working, I am trying to share a royal flush on youtube/facebook or even twitter. But the I think the share button is greyed out, it also took me a while to finally got a hand imported. Maybe I imported some more hands already but I couldn't find them. Too bad if this program is not being worked on or updated since it looks nice.

Sure it's still working. Why not contact support directly and I'll answer you there :P

If the share-button is grayed out you haven't logged on to your social network. Notice the small buttons on the side of the Share-button. That's where you log in!

There will be a major update in a month or so. If you encounter any problems, please report them soon

Latest version is 1.5.0. Good to know
