Yes, I've been told that this does work with skins such as Sportsbook.

It should basically report whatever is in the history. I know that sometimes histories aren't written completely (I've mentioned this before), for whatever reason, which may be part of the problem. If you can find an instance where the pot size is incorrect, or rake is too high or something, definitely send those over to me.

A problem was found where some header values were inadvertently transposed. PT seemed to handle this just fine but understandably caused problems with converters and with HM. This has been fixed (use the d/l link in the OP).

I have vista and the problem that it writes , instead of . for decimal values. Pokertracker tells me that I have won 96k$ today, which would be alot on 1$/2$ NL...

Can you publish the code? Then I can fix it myself.

Is that a regional setting or something? I can take a look at it.

I dont think its a regional setting, cause a friend of mine (german too) doesnt have this problem.

I thought it might be because I am using vista and not xp.

Thanks for your PM and the fix, I will try it later.

You should have used 23o instead of AKo, so it would be obvious when/where some translation funny business occurred.

Well, everyone knows AK is the nuts anyway right?

some ppl have asked for Carbon Support. A Converter for Ring Game that converts to Absolute Poker format is just about to release.

Hi FoolOnTheHill1,


Thanks a lot for your convertor! It works great with me! However I am having problems with my hand histories that have dutch settings, so where the decimal seperator is ","

I tried converting all "," to "." but then after conversion the HH convertor doesn't understand the board texture anymore and it gets all messed up (because there the seperator between cards is "," and is then converted to ".")

Can you maybe fix the convertor so that it changes numeric values where the decimal is "," to "." ? But leaves the board texture stuff intact? I would really appreciate it! I'm thinking of adding a function that checks if 2 numeric values are seperated by a "," then replace it by "."

For instance, it sees "$50,25" then convert that to "$50.25" because it is surrounded by numeric values. Thanks in advance!

Try making a new thread, hijacking this one isn't going to do you much good.

how do i input the converted files into poker tracker, they are still on .txt
and not .mdb .

They're text histories just like any other history you get from most sites, not database files. You import them into PT using the import functions.

and how do i do that ?

PokerTracker -> Help -> Main Index. First link.

I had the same problem. Here is a "quick" fix:

Use a texteditor that understands regular expressions, such as scite (no need to install, just download and start, free).

Go to "replace", check regular expression as type and enter in the search field:

\([0-9]+\),\([0-9]+\)

and in the replace field:

\1.\2


Then just: "replace all".


Then all numbers are replaced correctly. After this, just convert the hands and import them. Worked fine for me. If you have further questions, drop me a pm.

Hey Kreatief! Thanks a lot man! I'm going to try that now

Someone suggested I try to pull the date from the filename instead of the created/modified time. It never even occurred to me that that information was there, and that's a great idea and should help with conversion accuracy. The converter has been updated to do this. If it cannot find it for whatever reason, it will use the earliest time it can find in the file information.

Btw mewsicLovr, it seems that your converter works differently when pt is started while converting or when pt is not started.

PT changes the regional settings, and the converter seem to use them. I always had to start PT first and then convert, otherwise I get numbers that are way to big.

I've just imported a bunch of hands and most of my sessions are off by anywhere from .50 to $10, which made the total off by ~$400. From looking over some of the hand histories, I've found three situations that the converter didn't handle correctly which accounted for the discrepancies.

1) When it is folded to me in the bb, it reports a net of +$2 in PT instead of +$1(in 1-2NL).

2) When there is more than 1 bb posted(e.g. someone sits and posts), it only counts the last of the blinds that is listed in the original hand history.

3). In one hand where there was no small blind, I posted the $2 bb and a $1 dead blind and folded on the flop, but in PT it reported a net of -$2 instead of -$3.

lol, and I thought I asked stupid questions that can be solved with 30sec effort. In PT click file then import hand histories then select files to import.

bubba, could you PM me those specific hands? That will help me track down the problem. Thanks.

I have a few HH files that convert horribly. It doesn't actually show any hand played - so I have two hour sessions that are just everyone folding before the flop and then the rake being the blinds.

I have three files that do this, and have PMed you a link to one of them and the resulting conversion.

I updated to the latest version in hopes that that fixes it but no dice

Edit: Ha, I have a lot more than three that do it... but you should only need one.

just now finding this, thanks!

1.2.5 is uploaded. This fixes (1) and (2) of the problems bubbachuck mentioned. (3) looks like it might be related to the way PT is reading the history. I'll have to see if I can figure out a workaround.
