Default HH converters

There are 2 main reasons why I don't use HH converters.

1) I don't really like the output - I prefer the unconverted version
2) I don't like providing people free information on how I play (present company excluded). I've looked at a couple of these tools online and have yet to see a disclaimer against data mining the information. These tools must provide the hosters with a wealth of free info on thousands of players.

If there is a tool we can find that addresses these issues I'd be happy to use it. I can also build one if I need to as long as I can find some output format that makes sense to me.

What kind of output do you guys like? What would you like to see if the sky was the limit?

Your reason for #2 is retarded. There are many, many easier ways to datamine players than the person submitting only difficult or amusing hands that he played.

The main reason I prefer hand history converters is that it makes it far easier to determine the size of the pot. Although, I do find them easier to read also.

OK, I just can't take it anymore Wes, what's up with all the Fabio shit? The Ron Jeremy pic was tits, but this is just wrong. Horribly wrong. You have probably disclosed this already in another sick and twisted thread, yet I must have missed it. Hook a brotha up.

I agree that Reason #2 is ridiculous.

That said, I'd be interested in adding a custom HH converter to this site - something that we could all agree on, so all hands posted follow a standard format. I don't usually love converted hands myself, but the addition of the pot size calculation is very nice.

Would love to see what you can come up with decoder. For now, I'd say to try to get the output to be close to (but I'd DEFINITELY like to see the stack sizes listed at the top, as well), and then we can tweak it from there.

Just some ideas for the converter. I don’t know if these are even good ideas, but whatever.

Under the Bold Street heading (FLOP), each action has own line

Currently stack size listed in () after each player’s name on each street?

An example is below.


Turn: 6 ($82, 2 players)
Hero checks,
CO (stack at this time) bets $50,
Hero (stack at this time)calls.

People at work call me the security wing-nut, but hey, it's my job... I still think it's not a bad source for free datamining, but whatever...

If we can agree on a nice output format I'll see what I can do. It'll take a while cause my regular gig is kindof crazy right now, but I'll work on it.

TP - Would you like this as a plugin for vBulletin or a stand alone script?
