Converter seems to convert the hands but I'm not sure how to import them into PT3. I did the manual update but my stats were not updated at all.

No notes needed.

Hands are being converted to PS format and when I run import in PT3 it says it reads the HH's but no stats are updated.

Did you put your poker name into the settings in PT3? Did you hit Refresh? You have to add each alias to your original name in PT3 every time you change your name. Hope that helps.

i hit refesh and the name in settings is correct. i haven't changed my name at all on cake.

Maybe you have some kind of weird filter going in PT? Sometimes if I have it set for 'today' before I import, it won't show the newest HH's. Then I have to clear the filters and refilter for 'today'. I dunnoo....

incredible... Thank you sir.

When I try to install the program through the link a few posts above, I get a message telling me to install the .NET Framework 3.5. The problem is I can't find this anywhere. When I go to the Microsoft website, the link is broken. When I get the install file from somewhere else and run it, the file attempts to download more files, but can not connect to the Microsoft server. What do I need to do?

Opinions on the commercial one? Is it $50 better than the free one?

I Have same question, have read threw most of this thread which talks about the various problems, etc and fixes...at this point though, i assume each piece of software has had updates from when it was first released. So question is why pay for the $50 one, is it better than the free one? and if so how.

I didnt read through all 30 whatever pages but is it possible for this to work with plo cash games? I just opened a sportsbook account to bonus whore but it would be great to track my stats at plo...

thanks

FYI-I have poker tracker omaha

The free version works, it has been updated since it was written to accommodate some changes from Cake.

Feel free to spend the $50 if you like to burn money.

Yesterday I played 2 sessions, 3 tables each session.

The 1st was 90 minutes, 3 tables, for a total of 431 hands.
The 2nd was 105 minutes, 3 tables, for a total of 490 hands.

I ran the hh converter and got no errors. I then imported the 921 hands into Holdem Manager. When I went to the sessions tab, it showed 921 hands played in 308 minutes. This is obviously wrong, as the total minutes played in both sessions was only 195.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it something to do with Cake hh? Does anyone else get this error when they actually play at PokerStars and import their hands into HM?

Thanks for your input.

When I get all-in with somebody before the river their hand isn't showing up in the converted HH. Is this a known issue?

Cake HHs don't record the time that each hand is played. To compensate for this, the converter adds a timestamp. You can adjust the hands per hour, but each hand will take the same amount of time.

Hey MewsicLovr,

If you ever rebuild this could you allow for hands per hour > 100? HU tables usually run at ~200.

Oh, and my previous post was resolved by installing the 1.3.1 version. Of course!

Hi,
Just downloaded the free version of the cake converter, after parsing threw and finding the most recent one. In original post it mentions some issues and caveats, wondering if these are still issues and if any other issues can be added to this list (perhaps the original post can be edited some time with this info which is very relevant.)

Also, I have changed my Cake name about 3 times. What procedure do i need to do to import these converted hand history files into PT3 correctly so that all 3 screen names are one in the same?

In PT3 what procedure should i take to do the import? Should i do a manual import? Also, since these files are stars format should i somehow import them as if they were stars histories (since there are no icons for cake). If someone would take the time to provide a step by step what to do after running the CakeConverter it would be much appreciated.

Import in Stars format. There is no auto import in real time, only after you've played and converted your hands.

To merge your names you have to create alias' for yourself. It's towards the top on the right in PT. Everytime you change your name you have to add and alias in pt.

Make sure that after you change your name, you reboot Cake. Otherwise all of your hands will be 'observed only' and you'll have problems importing.

I believe I just found out about this problem. I played a pretty long session today and I'm getting an unrecognizeable format. I'm rebooting cake now. Is there any way to get those hh's from this morning?

You'll still get the hands, but they will say that 'observed hands not imported' or something. You have to go back to the Cake hand history and replace the name. Use the 'find replace' function under 'edit'. If you're confused, scroll back a bit in this thread. This has come up alot.

We use Autoimport in our converter which can be found at http://www.cakehandconverter.com.

You can set how often it automatically converts the hands. Just set the output to your input folder for HEM or PT3.

You can check it out in demo mode for free. But for the full version you have to donate $50 or signup and maintain at least 15$ in rake per month on any of the 11 sites being offered.

We use the start time and end time of the file and divide the hands evenly which should be more accurate than 100 hands per hour.

I would like to know the answer to this as well.

In particular, which bugs still remain in the free version that are fixed in the $50 version?

Thanks,
