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

Download Full Tilt Poker from here: http://download.cnet.com/Full-Tilt-P...-75206368.html and auto update the client.


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.

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.

thx OP and all the HH posters.

Awesome OP.
Good luck to all us grinders in 2013! Hope high stakes has a great year. Seems to me that the fish are getting fewer and fewer and now it's pro vs pro out there.

Thanks OP!! <3

Ragen doesn't get enough love

^ strong avatar @ YouFold2Me

describes the current gus-situation pretty good imo, i mean he is now playing 500/1k and has less than 20k in play.

Was surprised to see Wilhasha as one of the big losers in 2012.

Is he seen as a mark in the games, then?

In 6-max, when the fish leaves and the game breaks, he's generally the last one sitting in. And he gives everyone action, so it follows that a disproportionate amount of it is against the best regs.

Btw, he mentioned that he has a positive bb/100 on Stars, which I wouldn't doubt.

edit: He's a bit like a NLHE-playing version of Isildur.

Supermassive first post. Well done gargar!

whoa patpat got crushed this year

Thanks for explaining.

Is the identity of either limmouse of mickan known?

I assume two Chinese businessmen/millionaires.

Wow awesome post OP.

So dodges no1 plays the best and loses then...

Hastings win a half million in 7k hands. Young $$

Well, great opening post, OP. Well, January should be a good month for high stakes in both live/online. PCA and Aussie Millions got their big $100k event going there. Let's see if one of the internet guys can make enough from those to supply some action for the online games.

Brutal year for patman, started out pretty good too.

I couldn't find zigg on the list, how much did he win or lose last year?

About -$28k or something.

Great OP. Thanks to HH posters as well. I enjoy this thread a lot. Does anyone have a link for downloading Full Tilt for Mac for railing purposes? I am in US and the cnet file wont open on my Mac. Thanks in advance.

Gus has lost more than what the site has made.

Let us see if isildur1 can get back to even for his career or lose a net 10 million. Either way, this year should be fun.
