| Posted by: Mikke_ at June 20, 2006, 10:44 pm | | Topic: Pokertracker totals not correlating with Hollywood Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | I got one of them degrees too - and it took me 20 years to get out of that business, so my motivation to do something like that would be less than zero - I wrote some s/w for small garages which I intended to sell far and wide, but as soon as I saw the problems with dealing with the computer n00bs, I soon gave it up. The beta site is still running, and he services and MOTs (yearly certificate of road-worthiness) our two cars in return for me letting him use it still.
Like mike_m235, I can't be bothered with the extra legwork to get PT exactly right. My paper figures on my day-sheets record my table entry and exit figures, and as long as they tally, that is fine by me.

'This program fetches URL:
http://www.pokernetwork.co.uk/games/handhistory/?gameCode=P4&handNumber=xxxxxxxxx
then parses prev link from it, and so on. Script to do this would take at most a few hours. I might write it in PHP/Perl since it's basic parsing 101.'
... to track my missing blind value. And I was correct in this instance. I was in the BB accidentally because of the way you can't seem to clear the auto-post blinds at their site. I had to leave, so as I had no hand, I just left the table mid-hand, and that was the hand that wasn't recorded.
I guess that perhaps the combination of the gaggy auto-post system + leaving mid-hand (when you have put $s into the pot already) to avoid an auto-blind when you are next to post the BB may be the cause of some of these problems at least.

| Posted by: mike_m235 at June 20, 2006, 9:22 pm | | Topic: Pokertracker totals not correlating with Hollywood Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | There's a program out there that fixes this problem with PR and skins interacting with PT. It costs like $10 or something I think. Saw it in another forum, and it was recommended by a couple of players I have a lot of respect for. Pesonally I don't care enough to get it, but I'll try to find the link if someone needs it.

| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at June 20, 2006, 9:00 pm | | Topic: Pokertracker totals not correlating with Hollywood Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | Not a problem. I always keep scrap paper next to my desk, and always record my cashin/cashout for each table. Not too hard, since most tables I have a standard buyin for, so I just record the cashout. Then I compare things. PT doesn't always match up, but surprise surprise, the manually recorded cashouts always match up to my balance.
PokerRoom/skins are notorious for being finicky about writing hand histories. It's annoying, but you learn to live with it over time. I run into the same problems to a lesser degree at B2B. | | Static Link |

OK, good to know. I'll mark record my buy-ins/cash-outs for a while and see how things shake out. Thanks for the reassurance. | | Static Link |

Nah, their software just sucks. Many have this issue. Their software doesnt write all the hands to the hand database on your computer. Poker Tracker reads the database on your computer. It misses some hands due to sitting out a certain way.

I try to do what they suggest but I still end up with some missing hands at the end of my session. Maybe I'm missing a step somewhere. | | Static Link |

Yeah - I always record everything on paper, and noticed the difference.
I'll try the purge thing though - not done that before.

| Posted by: Mikke_ at June 20, 2006, 7:07 pm | | Topic: Pokertracker totals not correlating with Hollywood Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | I noticed this - I was a blind difference last time, but I after I folded, I sat out before the hand finished. I wonder if sitting out and leaving the table before the hand is finshed may be the problem - i.e. that hand doesn't get recorded? Just a possibility, I may be well off base.

| Posted by: drtofu66 at June 20, 2006, 6:45 pm | | Topic: Pokertracker totals not correlating with Hollywood Poker Forum: Bonus Whores | I noticed this the first day I played at HP but figured I missed few hands in the import to account for the discrepancy. Today I confirmed: the amount of money I had won according to PT was more than my HP total. Not a big difference, but puzzling and concerning if the accounting at HP isn't what it should be.
I played 466 total hands of PL/NL today and according to PT was up $51.70. According to the HP "Statistics" tab, I played 466 hands and was up $49.70.
Has anyone else noticed this? I did a live chat with HP and emailed them the HH files from PT and they said they would investigate. I'll update when they get back to me (they said a couple of days).
But in the meantime, for those who use PT-- check your session totals and make sure that the amount of money in your HP account correlates with what PT has told you you should have. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed it. Shades of Superman III/Office Space half-penny stealing comes to mind... | | Static Link |
