Wangthat's why we come here!Fuck our pride.Condescend all you want. Just show me the better lines.I'm going to the casino to get black-out drunk and play some poke-her tonight. I'll bring a notebook and try to take some notes so I can post a hand or two. It's usually an uber-loose game, so there might be a few interesting hands. Won't be anything tricky or high-level, though. I'll be sure to remember exactly what I said during the hands, too, so you can see how big a funbox I can bee when I'm gambooling.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
Emptyeye 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I don't know, I like to think I'm making the correct play most of the time, but that's probably wrong. Where I need help is with general concepts as opposed to specific hands. Hands like K10, QJ, Q10, etc. that areplayable in some situations but not others. Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 while playing you can open up notepad/textpad and copy/paste Hand Histories directly from the top right of table... they are there in the link...Highlight the entire hand, Hold Mouse button down and drag.then hit CTRL+C then go to the Notepad document and hit CTRL+V...shortcuts for copy+paste.In case you did not know.

TheCinciKid 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've been making an effort to post more lately, though it's mostly in Limit because it's 2/4 that I've been playing lately, but I still don't post as many hands as a lot of people do. Mostly, that's probably because I often have a hard time identifying hands to post and I'm often too tired at the end of a session to go through the process of posting them. Then, I forget to do it later on. Oh, and I'm not sure I ever get a whole lot out of posting hands. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But mostly, I just get too lazy to do it.

lifelessimp 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 1.) sites I play at (prima, fantasy) aren't supported by hand converter, so it takes long time to post hands.2.) I'm a donkey, reading hands is probably more useful than posting my own hands.3.) I'm a donkey and don't contribute to answering other people's questions, so i'd be greedy to try to get people to answer mine.4.) I'm a donkey so I only post stupid hands anyway.

I think posting crtiques really helps. It's ok to temper it with "IMO" but you don't have to apologize for trying to give your ideas.

Nixed 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Usually I'll be playing, and a hand will come up that I'll think I should post. Then I go get it, and try and convert it. Then remember the converter doesn't work for full tilt.. then start to try and convert it, then reread the hand and it's never as interesting as I remember.. so I go play more hands instead. Is there a converter that recognizes the format hands are in when you pull them out of pokertracker? That seems like it would be a good thing to have/make.... If only I wern't lazy..... heh Link to post Share on other sites

If only I wern't lazy..... hehWhen I'm in PT and looking at the hand, and click, to get the text of the Hand History, I can paste that inot the converter you see on my posts.the zerodrive..oneBut I have Party.It's possible that the HH text is that way because I'm on Party and not because PT converts it to look like a PArty HH even when it's from another site.
