hi all,

i am the author of TableCrab [http://code.google.com/p/tablecrab/]. i plan on extending TableCrab in the time to come in regards to hand parsing - an area where TableCrab and fpdb do overlap. so my first thought was to drop a message here to see if there is interest in building up a generic python library for hand parsing / formatting that could benefit both, TableCrab and fpdb (as well as other projects).

PM me for comments / thought exchange, mme

Hello. I am player 5 card draw on PS, FTP, (in the near future I will add Ongame and Bossmedia). Has wanted to use your program and has understood that it imports hands only with PS, with FTP for any reason of a hand aren't imported. You couldn't help me? At me windows 7 (maximum). If it will be necessary for you HH on 5cd or still any questions on this game address, than to a smog I will help.
Excuse for my knowledge of language, I badly know English language, I use the translator.

A short FPDB installation video is now available. This shows FPDB being downloaded, installed, configured and run for the first time on XP.

Download the video from http://sf.net/projects/fpdb/files/fpdb/help/
Choose exe021install.avi (18mb)

Some users may need to install the Microsoft visual c++ runtime package before installing FPDB for the first time.
Full FPDB installation information, including the c++ runtime and info for vista/win7 is at this link

Your program not correctly considers results of a won\loss. I have counted all and have verified also it really so. Probably fpdb considers incorrectly rake.
All results from limit 5 card draw PS.
1)The first result(This all the same hands).
a)Not the correct(fpdb):


b)And correct:

a) and b) itsall the same hands, but are counted by different programs.

2)And the following result (second).
a) Not correct is FPDB:



b)And correct:

a) and b) itsall the same hands, but are counted by different programs

You see that results differ cardinally from each other.
Variant b) is true correct 100 %. Filters and the rest I have exposed truly therefore problems in it wasn't present.

As you see FPDB considers the incorrectly general result. You couldn't correct it?

If I have a hand that I think FPDB is importing incorrectly, should I post it here? Send it to someone? It is a 2-7 NL Single Draw hand on Stars.
Edit: I am using the v0.21-rc2 build, if that matters.
Edit2: Maybe I will just use the email address above.

Got them, thanks for that.

The grapher and the stats view were not displaying CAP hands at all, it is fixed will be in the next release.

Hi Bes, Gammoner,

I received a hand history from Gammoner. Closer inspection has revealed a nasty bug in single draw games that affects all hands with a raise after the draw. Triple draw games are unaffected.

This appears to affect FTP too.

I should have both sites fixed by the end of the day.

Thanks

Great job on the software!
I am having few issues. I followed the video and was able to bulk import my HH and see graphs. When I kicked off the HUD I saw the hud menu within the FT table but did not see the stats overlay on each seat as shown in the video. Am I doing something wrong.
Using Windows 7 (don't know if it is relevant or not).

Anybody else with the same issue? How did you resolve it? Any help + pointers would be great!

I have question, I have Ubuntu and managed to get Poker tracker to work, but I am interested to get FPDB to track my hands.

Can I use database (postgres) which I set for poker tracker 3 (i only played omaha/lo hands) to work FPDB instead?

The best way for you to install is to just download the Ubuntu .deb file and install that. The install on Ubuntu page in the wiki is pretty good and gives an example of setting up postgresql.

By default, the sqlite db is configured. I suggest trying fpdb with sqlite first to make sure you have a good install and then configuring the DB.

Or are you asking can fpdb connect to the existing database and use that data? No. You should be able to export those HHs and import in fpdb though.

Okay, thx for the answer. Need to export hands then.

Another one, How to remove my nickname from graphs? Other than Gimping/photoshopping it out.

I don't think there is a way to do that in fpdb.

Hello,
Thank you for the software.

Could you add a scroll to Ring player stats? Because unless I hide all the filters, I cannot see the bottom part (including Filter and Refresh buttons).
Another problem is that play money stats are treated like real money.
Also, an error in tournament stats. I played a single 2.25 Euro tournament, but in the column "Spent" the number is 200, instead of 2.
Finally, I have a question about mucked cards: is it possible to display cards only when the hand has ended? You cannot see players cards during the hand if he folded, f.e., on 5th street?

Is there some kind of minimum hand requirements before new limit is shown on Ring Player Stats?

Oh I need to restart FPDB more often to get updated. So there is no minimum hand requirement. Problem solved.

We dont support that.

This is a real issue, and one thats bugging me at the moment. Expect a fix by the next release.
'Feature' not issue.

I'd prefer to remove play money entirely, but the support we have is treated as equivalent to cash.
I believe i've already fixed this issue since rc2.
Que? Mucked cards will only display after the end of a hand, so i'm not sure what you mean here.

Hello. How I can learn that updating left also errors which me interested are already corrected? Whether there is any reference.

I very badly know English language, therefore I use the translator. I apologize if I somehow wasn't correctly expressed. I will try to paraphrase the text. I above asked questions how I can learn about that that have solved them? Whether there is a link on new updatings.

I think his question is about using fpdb to keep track of dead cards.
Two things that I'm pretty sure of:
1) HUDs aren't allowed to do this - it's considered part of the game.
2) fpdb gets all its data from hand histories which are generated after a hand is completed.

The source commits are the best way to track the errors, but this is difficult unless you are a developer.

Reporting any issues and hand histories to the bug tracker will also get you a response.

I also keep write the occasional blog post on http://****************/apps/wordpress/fpdb/

Sorrow,

Thanks a ton for working on this project.

I went through and re-configured all of my HUD layouts, now the HUD won't pop up for any games. Have you encountered this issue?

You have probably introduced an error into your config. Try rolling back to a "known good" config. You could just use the HUD_config.xml.example file and just change your screen name.

Always back up your config before editing.

Hi guys, just wanted to tell you that this is really impressive, I am just a begginer into phyton so no able to help, but me and the community apreciate your efforts a lot!

Okay, I am such a tech-idiot that I can't even get started here. I tried to find post about importing HHs, but all anybody says here is "I imported my HHs, etc. etc. blah blah," like it's the most obvious thing in the world to them. I don't even have a clue how import a HH from PS. I have a number of them in email form, but you know, they're just text. How am I supposed to import these "files"? Also, if my version of FPDB is 2.0, is it out of date?

OK, the first thing you should do is bulk import the hands you have saved. That is "Bulk Import" under the Import menu. Use the handy file selection widget to select the folder containing your hand histories. That will be something like "Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory\YOUR_SCREEN_NAME". Then make sure the Site filter has the correct poker room selected and click "Bulk Import". It will take a while to import everything, depending on how many HHs you have. Then you can go to viewers and look at stats, graphs, etc.
