This is the new replayer from coin, I don't think there's a way to grab raw hh's anymore and post w/ a converter. You hit the 'download screenshot' button, top right next to the bookmark icon in the replayer. A good feature for railers is you can see a number of hand histories from before you joined the table.

I opened 16 tables to see what was going on at mid to high stakes and it was melting my PC, 50% of CPU + RAM. I'm on a 7800x3d w/ 32gb of RAM. Good luck mass tabling on a dated setup.

Can't say I like the new aesthetics but at least you can still post hands in some form.

Seriously what the **** is with poker clients these days? Every one of them should be taking at max 5% of your CPU and the same for your GPU integrated or dedicated, it shouldn't ****ing matter.

Prior to 2016 EVERY client was perfectly fine, they offered any functionality you could possibly ask for with zero issues. Now pretty much any client you open its like you have 3DMark running on max settings for 17 days in a row and are trying to burn a hole through your rig...

Client based gui's are archaeic and not really used or taught anymore so they just farm out the cheapest labor to cram something into Unity which is notorious for being a clunky hog

Its like they developed a triple A game!

Anyone notice the button on the top right of table that shows who is up or down in the seession? Pretty crazy... As a side note, it also highlights how much of a MASSIVE rake they're taking

Coin added double board bomb pots with randomly() 1-3bb ante. Each board is worth half the pot. Spicey.

@MastaAces I actually marked a ton of hands since the last time I posted. Hopefully I won't be lazy and deliver soon.

they also added run it twice (thrice?) where if someone wins both runs a third board is run.

thanks, Matt.

Coin is teaching a very important lesson about the true power of credit in gambling. I have zero actual info about if/who is playing on book, but I'd bet a few k(bet amount pending how much credit im extended) that theres 1m+ being floated to keep these going..

It also would explain how rake is so high, lowers Tony G's exposure getting stiffed by one of these guys

Never been harder to post hand histories though. Doesnt help that the new coinpoker format bugs so when you see a hand in the replayer pot size ends up being street size + money going in on said street. I.e hand above where turn is a pot bet and a call. Pot didnt triple randomly after 2 checks on the flop
