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:

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

Another converter: 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 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 action. 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).

this thread is gonna be empty this year

Gargar broke the lolstreak

big thanks to OP and HH posters

in

thanks op

Nice work as always! Happy 2016 all!

In.. gonna be an interesting month

Can hh for microgaming be copied? I guess not? Shame if so think we will see more and more action on these other sites

guess people just print screen the table

In

Funny world, Sauce and Isildur breakeven in PLO and barely play NLHE, but are the kings of 8 game. Ivey the biggest loser both overall and in 8 game.

Ivey repping the old school now that Gus Hansen stepped away...

In. Happy New Year all!

And for those who haven't yet seen it, I think that it should be posted here, with Ike following in Kanu's (noble/dignified) footsteps and resigning from PokerStars: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29.../#post48992681

Tons of respect for both of them.

savage but true

fastcarsss second in nlhe winnings and sauce first @ 2015 totals. They have a total hands played together of roughly 13k hands. Bumhunting still proving to be effective even at hs. Not that it´s selfchosen in sauces case unless you become a bumhunter for declining top5 or so. wouldnt know about fastcarsss.

sure most be boring though, unless you got a buttload of tv-series to catch up on. 5k hands on a whole year in that format wow.

Did Gus stop playing after the nosebleed docu?

Always wondered if that was the huge slap in the face he needed to realise its not a runbad downswing

to be fair a lot of higher volume nlhe specialists are excluded form hsdb

ah yeah true, ma bad.

russianPTR the yearly results to much of a dickmove? :/

ForHayley and OTB r prob up there..

nosebleed docu?

The documentary with Seb86 and Alexonmoon (?),where they,and they're girlfriends,thank Gus for their new houses.

That is actually a rather depressing and alarming point. Online poker (specifically NL) is so dead that at the highest of stakes you can play - essentially the ceiling of your earnings, you can only hope to play like 7k hands in the higher games where you perceive your edge to be large enough to bother, i.e not against Ike and against fish. That must be at an all time low comparatively to past years and accelerated beyond comprehension since BF. Those exclusively NL players must have to mix in games 10x lower to get any volume in - where 1 failed shot at your ceiling of stakes (i.e a 100200 game) would take a tonne of hardwork, hands and run good much lower down to recover against seemingly still very capable players in arguably the toughest NL games anywhere i.e Stars 2knl etc.

Edit just read the bit about alot of the NL players exclduing, but still, theres only a handful of them.

Kind of a strange hand.
