HH Converter test thread...

OK, I've thought about this some more - let's go with pshabi's suggestion of only including the pot size at the beginning of each street (Before Preflop, Flop, Turn, and River) and see how that looks.

Here's a sample of what it would be like without the running pot tally.

PokerStars Tournament game, buy-in $4.00+0.40, Level IV $50/$100 No Limit, 8 players
Hand History Converted by

SB: T$1925
BB: T$5680
MP2: T$2355
MP3: T$3720
CO: T$5850
Button: T$2705
UTG: T$6340
HERO (MP1): T$3710

SB posts Small Blind T$50
BB posts Big Blind T$100

Pre-flop: 7 5 (T$150)
UTG folds
HERO folds
MP2 calls T$100
MP3 folds
CO folds
Button raises to T$200
SB folds
BB calls T$100
MP2 calls T$100

Flop: K 2 5 ($650)
BB checks
MP2 bets T$100
Button calls T$100
BB folds

Turn: K 2 5 J (T$850)
MP2 bets T$100
Button calls T$100

River: K 2 5 J 6 (T$1050)
MP2 checks
Button checks

MP2 shows 9 2
Button shows K 7
Button wins T$1050 with a pair of Kings

I have to agree with Shabi on this one - it looks MUCH cleaner without the running total.

You've done an awesome job here De-coder!

Thanks dude.

So I guess my plan to include running pot odds is now completely out of the question...

[Talking Poker]

Agreed.... that looks so good, I believe I've run out of suggestions.

Ah ha!!! I knew I'd find something. I believe this order is incorrect:
SB: T$1925
BB: T$5680
MP2: T$2355
MP3: T$3720
CO: T$5850
Button: T$2705
UTG: T$6340
HERO (MP1): T$3710

Shouldn't it be:
SB: T$1925
BB: T$5680
UTG: T$6340
HERO (MP1): T$3710
MP2: T$2355
MP3: T$3720
CO: T$5850
Button: T$2705

Also, for games larger than 6 max, I prefer using UTG+1 rather than all the MP#s, but I can go either way with this. It's certainly fine how it is. I wonder if we could google up a standard or something.

Like for this hand, I'd rather see a UTG+1 in there and no MP3 - just MP1 and MP2 before the CO.

[de-coder]

I'm not sure why the order got messed up there... I'll have to look into that... As for the MP's it's pretty easy to change - I have lists of position names from 2 to 10 players - change the position names in the list and you're done...

here's what it looks like right now:
Let me know what you'd like - it's an easy change.

OK, how about changing the last few to this, unless someone has a better suggestion:

$positions["7"]=array("Button", "SB", "BB", "UTG", "UTG+1", "MP", "CO");
$positions["8"]=array("Button", "SB", "BB", "UTG", "UTG+1", "MP1", "MP2", "CO");
$positions["9"]=array("Button", "SB", "BB", "UTG", "UTG+1", "MP1", "MP2", "MP3", "CO");
$positions["10"]=array("Button", "SB", "BB", "UTG", "UTG+1", "MP1", "MP2", "MP3", "CO-1", "CO");

The only one I'm not sure about is #7.... we could also have just UTG and then MP1 and MP2. I dunno.

Also, don't forget to send me the version without all the pot sizes, since they are still in there for the one I have.
