FPHG (*** NO LONGER ALLOWED AT PARTY - PLEASE READ OP ***) - Page 17 - Free Software -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

WARNING - DUMB QUESTION

I am a technical moron.

I have seen many posts regarding modifying FPHG and/or PT settings to split observed mined hands from those played in to avoid duplication. Last night I played for about 2 hours with FPHG open. FPHG is in an intertops folder as I play on party. After importing that played session as well as all the mined hands it does not seem like there is any duplication of the hands as I would expect. I thought FPHG would write a hhf that would duplicate the PP hhf on the tables I was playing at and cause problems with my PT stats. Thanks for reading this far. Is ignorance bliss or am I missing something that is going to screw with my stats?

I think the way PT works means that PT keeps track of the hand numbers and wont import duplicate hands into the same DB.

If you were to use a separate DB for observed hands and another for played hands then this might cause problems (but tbo I'm not 100% sure how PT handles this...).

Juk's right - PT won't import a hand if it aleady exists in the database into which you are attempting to import.

Hey guys how do i import the .hhf files from the the folder of the PHG? do i just import the .hhf files?

thx for help in advance

Yes, FPHG just saves the .hhf files to the folder where you ran it from.

You can then just use the "lightning bolt" option in PT to import the .hhf (I think this is the easiest method...).

I think an easier way is to let auto import do it. I forget who posted it, but I read it in this thread. Basically just create a new .txt file, rename it to pokernow.exe (or multipoker/empire/intertops, whatever) and put it in the folder where you have FreePHG. Then change the auto import program file location. Works like it used to in the old days.

How do you control which file or folder that FreePHG writes the HH files to?

I created a folder in my desktop which is empty except the freePHG.exe. When I double click to run the program it writes the HH to same folder. I tried what you mentioned above but it won't put the HH in the new .txt document. Also, when I run the lightening bolt on PT it won't recognize that there are any HH in this folder. I can find them however using the manual input from the far left menu. Help?

Tried to use v0.06 today and I install everything just like I did with v0.05 and into the same folder after I delete the old version but for some reason v0.06 writes the HH into a txt like I set it up to but PokerTracker won't import the hands. Comes up with 0 HH found when I try to import. I switched everything back to v0.05 and it is working again with PT. Weird any idea what is up?

Have you used any other options that could cause this and what impoprt method in PT are you using?

I not 100% sure what could cause this, but one thing you could try is running a copy of v0.05 and v0.06 at the same time. If you can try this for me, then send me the HH files as attachments ( jukofyork@yahoo.com ) and I can compare them to figure out what has changed.

Edit run.bat to look like this:

echo off
freephg.exe -e txt

and then use run.bat to run FPHG rather than the exe.

It just writes to whatever folder it is in. You can try making a shortcut and using the "start in" option to make it save in a different location.

I just tried this today with a newer version of PT and I couldn't get the hands imported properly either. Looks like making a fake PokerNow.exe is the better option.

Also, if you want to write to txt files then edit run.bat to look like this:

echo off
freephg.exe -e txt

Then make sure you use run.bat to run it.

Read the top few lines on it's main page:

http://www.jukofyork.com/freephg.htm

Basically it just saves observed hand histories for Party just as the Party client itself used to do...

Thanks a lot for it help it works now, i have another question regarding this and poker tracker in general, after i imported the files, can i just destory the .txt or .hhf files, but it will still have it in my database??? similarly, if i have imported my hand histories from the party poker folders and auto-moved them to another fold after i've proccessed them, could i also delete those also? to save space on my hard drive?

thanks again for your help and response

I am sure if you wait somebody will eventually write a hand grabber for their, but it is very unlikely Crypto stores the HHs internally like Party (it will require some screen-scrapping and/or dealer chat grabber from what I have read).

I personally keep all my old HHs just incase a DB corrupts. They don't take up much space if you zip them (much less than saving a DB backup) and better to be safe than sorry...

To be 100% honest I don't really know the answer. As far as I am aware then nobody has had any trouble for FPHG on Party (there has been quite a big dicusion about datamining Party in this thread).

Having trouble getting this working. All installed fine. These are the steps I followed.

Downloaded and installed FPHG
Created a new folder.
Copied FPHG.exe to the new folder
Copied EmpirePOkerMaster.exe to the new folder.
Linked PT to the EmpirePoker Master.exe
Started FPHG, opened tables started PT importing.

FPHG seems to record the hands just fine. PT finds the files but always says 0 new hands were imported.

Any fix for this?

Try renaming "EmpirePoker Master.exe" into PokerNow.exe and see if that works (seems ok for me when I tried).

If that doesn't work then try using the lightning bold option (or vice versa if you are already using).

One last thing to try, is to edit run.bat to look like this:

@echo off
freephg.exe -e txt

Then run FPHG from inside of your Party hand history folder, using the batch file to start it.

Hope one of these works - Juk

I had some problems so I reinstalled everything and downloaded the latest version. I have fphg in a desktop folder called fphg. The problem is that I can't get pokertracker to detect it. I copied empire.exe into this file, but when I click on pokertracker->program file locations and then select fphg from the desktop, the empirepoker icon doesn't even show up. I don't know why that is because it worked before. Ideas, suggestions?

Change the .exe to "EmpirePokerMaster.exe"

thanks. I tried that too and it still doesn't show up. I double and triple checked and I typed it in correctly.

If I look in the fphg folder I can see the EmpirePokerMaster.exe icon, however I don't have the option to select it once I open pokertracker.

yeah I had this porblem and did this. It makes the file extensions visible. Use my advice at your own risk because when it comes to messing around with this part of computer I know very little.

click 'start',my computer, tools, folder options, view, UNCHECK 'hide extensions for unknown file types' then click apply and okay.

BUT when you rename a file now you have to also type the extension in (thats the bit after the dot) for example ".exe" The computer will warn you about this though.

Did everything work OK then? I don't think this could screw anything up w/ my computer, but then again I don't know for sure. When I renamed it last time I did type in .exe. Perhaps I shouldn't have? Thanks, I'll try
