Instructions for railing Pokerstars in the US

Download Pokerstars from here: http://77.87.180.178/PokerStarsInstall.exe
Mac version: http://77.87.180.182/PokerStarsInstall.pkg.zip

How to capture Stars hand histories:

On the Stars table click the "previous hand" link on the top left, which brings up the hand history box. Click the hand you want to post, Ctrl+A to select, Ctrl+C to copy. Bring up the converter tab in your browser, Ctrl+A/Ctrl+V on the left hand box to paste the new hh. Click the "Convert" button. Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C on the right hand box to copy the converted hand, Ctrl+V into the quick reply box on here.

We generally post ~200bb+ pots, but if there's an interesting hand/showdown, or if there's not much action feel free to post smaller ones.


Posting hands

Please use the following options for converting hands:

Hand converter that supports Pokerstars Run-it-twice feature: http://www.railhand.com
Just paste your hand history, convert, copy generated code and paste in this thread.

Preferred by most: http://www.handconverter.com.
Set to "Two Plus Two Forums" output, "Use player names" and "Show results". You can convert multiple hand histories at once, but please try to separate them once pasted into your reply for ease of reading (e.g type a between hands).

If that converter is down (happens occasionally): http://www.pokerconverter.com.
Set to "Show all names", "2+2 Forums" output and tick "Show results". You need to reset this converter after every hand. I use this converter for NL hands, to make them easily distinguishable from PLO hands.

If you want to post 2-7 TD hands: http://www.feralcowpoker.com.
Set it to "Two Plus Two - textonly" output, and show results and player names.


Action abbreviations

If no hand history available then you can use abbreviated actions to describe it. Preferred action abbreviations:

• c = call
• r = bet/raise
• f = fold
• x = check

this makes the action a little easier to read (e.g., x/r/c instead of c/r/c).


Posting screenshots

Hyperdesktop is a fantastic app for capturing screenshots and auto-uploading them to Imgur. It gives you the link to post here, no need to even visit the hosting site.
Download here: http://gethyperdesktop.com/.

Thx once again gargar <3

strong OP

Yeah another month without losers on pokerstars.

great OP, thx to all hh posters

The most impressive year to date result for me is PostFlopAction's obliteration of 8-game to the tune of 3million. Next closest 8-game winner has only 600k in winnings by comparison. Ofc Isildur being up nearly 2mill in draw is pretty darn impressive too but more in a surprising way.

Surprised to see Isildur1 still up for the month April tbh.

Superb OP gg Sir. Thx to everyone posting Hands. <3

Isn't he Joiso on Stars too? Add another quarter million to his 3 milly.... Pretty Sick indeed...

I did not think Isildur1 would end up in the green for April.

Isildur1 vs. DrugsOrMe on three $50/$100 PLO tables.

Sauce and Ville Wahlbeck starting off the month with some HU 8-game.

thanks gargar

yeah, Kostritsyn's 8-game results are one of the most impressive things I've seen in online poker, such ridiculous crushing in 29k hands... does it really play that big?

isil vs ben 3 tables 500/1k
so much for busto

Just logging in now and hoping it's not already over lol

Sry can't follow well enough to post all the action but will post screenshots of some of the final showdowns... hopefully a real and competent HH poster will be on soon ^_^

Isi sat out without saying anything

3 bet pre, all in on flop

3 bet pre, all in on flop

Did you expect some announcement?

Also, for some reason, I'm curious about Cottonseed, comes from nowhere 2-3 months ago (well somewhere obviously, but where, who, when etc...)

Isi raise 3k pre, Ben calls

Ben checks flop, Isi bets 4k, Ben check-raises to 8k, Isi calls

Ben bets 10k on turn, Isi calls

Ben bets all in for 19k on river, Isi calls
