iPoker Hand Converter Available

http://www.talking-poker.com/hands/converter.aspx

I'm aware others are working on this kind of thing and I'm not trying to steal anybodys thunder. I've been working on this for quite a while mainly because I plan to extend it to playing back hands etc. but for now you can convert hands from the iPoker xml files using this page. It currently converts to a flopturnriver format but I welcome suggestions on other formats and other type of hand history files for conversion. Just let me know.

Basically you can browse to your xml file click the import button and it will list out all the hands found including the date, the game as per the ipoker file and the hand you had so you can identify the one you are looking for.

Alternatively before clicking import you can enter the handid (called gamecode in the xml files) if you know it. Once you select a hand you will see the text for posting here or you can click preview to see what it should look like (click View Boards Text to go back to the text for here). I haven't tested here yet but you can let me know if you find any issues.

[boring programming stuff]
I was initially pleased to see a site using xml to store hand histories because in theory for a programmer it should make life alot easier. Unfortunately using xml was where the developers of the software stopped being clever and decided to output the most frustrating hand histories I have ever seen. If you look at the files it tells you nothing about who won the hand and what the hand was that won. I wanted this info so I happily found an excellent .net component which I must credit - http://pokerforprogrammers.blogspot.com/ - this basically allows me to quickly work out the winning hand and winning player(s) for each hand. Anyway the next step is a page where you can register, upload and save all your hands, publish them for other to see, playback using javascript and finally I want to have a look at generating animated gifs of hands if possible.

Good work!

Hitman Actual

Good job Musician.

I think it would be a good idea to add something in the charter where people are advised to use convertors for hand histories where possible. Reading HH's is fcuking painful. And it's for their own good as well, feedback-wise, as I'm sure there are people here who just ignore hand history threads.

Should be easy enough really. I need to check and see if I can evaluate the winning hand with the component I use. If I can't I'll have to leave that bit out but I'll see. Off to Punchestown so Omaha will have to wait until the weekend.

Hi Muso,

A couple of issues with this one:

1st It doesnt show the rest of the preflop action. He squeeze shoved.
2nd I didnt win the full pot. He should have been returned some money.

Down to the bad xml files again. It's a tourney which doesn't declare at the start what currency is used (look at the xml file for a cash game and you'll see it) but puts a $ before amounts. I've assumed $ if not stated so this error should not happen now.

Ian I sent you a pm. At the very least I would need the xml for that game to see where things are going wrong. I know my pot calculations are wrong so I'm going to fix that but I'm not certain about the incorrect action preflop.

Mellor

Another thing is that tourneys come up as cash games,
if blinds are 10/20, it comes up as real 10/20, and stacks have $ before them, it could make it confusing

Yeah I'm going to redo alot of it today hopefully and try and iron out some things, tourneys in particular.

peeko

any chance you could implement it so that you could also convert it to where there are no image tags? some boards only allow 10 image tags max, the pure text would be good too, I wouldn't want to be leeching your bandwidth anyways

breadmonkey

I am an idiot and can't work this. Please help me. How do you locate the specific HH?

mewso

Well you don't say exactly where you are having the difficulty but heres a quick recap...
Browse to your file and import it once you have set everything you want. You will then be shown a list of all hands in the xml file including the hand you had for each one which you can use to find the one you want. Click on the handid to see it converted and go back if it's not the one you want. Then copy and paste it here.

BrokenArrows

edit never mind.

mewso

O.k. a few updates on this. I think I have sorted your problems out ian but the hand in question did not appear to be in the file you gave me so check it out and let me know.
I have added some other options. You can turn images on or off and you can get the converter to change the names of the opponents automatically according to their seat. You can still put in your own names too but the new option might save some time.
Also tournaments will now not show $ signs which as requested will avoid confusion.
Still no omhaha. Will have a look at that next.

Chucky the tree

How the hell do i work this thing?

ianmc38

Select the xml file, then choose whichever hand you want displayed...

Chucky the tree

I forgot i have my HH going to another folder after they are imported to Pokertracker.:o

Chucky the tree

meh, found it, but still wont work. "Validation of viewstate MAC failed".

mewso

Spotted an error just now which I have fixed if you'd like to give it another try.

Chucky the tree

Yep, working grand now.Cheers.

mewso

Update:

Yamaha fans - should work now with correct winning hand calculated.
Changing names to display by seat will display positions (BB, UTG etc.)
Changing names to something specific like Villian can be done along with the auto name changing above if required.

Next Up:

PokerTracker HH conversion option.
Windows software to do it offline.
Save hand for playback in webpage.
.....p.m. me or post further requests here.
