Custom Script: BigPotGrabber

As the number of tables I'm playing increases it gets really hard to pay attention to pots that I'm not involved with. Since the most crucial mistakes are the ones made for big bets, I try to pay attention to how people play big pots. So I wrote a script to help me with this, basically it grabs the HH from the big pots on all the tables and puts them in a list so I can review them when I'm not in a hand.

Currently only Party Poker is supported. I'm gonna try to add more sites but it's not a huge priority as I play Party almost exclusively these days. If anyone wants to add support for other sites feel free, let's try to make this forum come to life!

As always, comments and suggestions very welcome.

OMG PLZ MAKE THIS FOR STARS ILL PAY YOU. SERIOUSLY

Heh, I figured Stars support would be on the wish list. I'll look into it.

I'll pay you $20 an hour to do it immediately. If that's not good enough name a price and ill consider it.

Awesome idea. I'll donate for Full Tilt support. I'm not paying you by the hour though you lazy bastard.

great idea. Full Tilt support would be awesome.

Okay, new version with added Stars support is up on the wiki. Make sure you use PT's Move Processed Hands feature so that only the active session files are in the HH folder. I'll fix this for a later update. For now, try it out and bring bug reports and suggestions to this thread.

I want to eventually make it convert the hand history similar to how the FTR Hand Converter does it to make it easier to read when playing. Other stuff I've thought about is a button to copy a (possibly converted) hand to the clipboard for easy posting on the forum, and a button to clear all the hands from the list. I'll look at FTP support, should be easy and fast now that I know how to do it.

I'm not gonna ask for donations, but if you insist you can probably guess my Stars s/n :p. Instead I'd like it if you told other people about the tools of poker forum so that we can get more traffic in here. This will lead to other good ideas and good poker software, which will of course benefit us all.

Thanx Smile

I'll put it on my sig?

Does anyone ever read your stupid posts ISF?

j/k that would be awesome Very Happy

Go to PT > Auto Import Stars Hand histories > Move processed files to this folder and choose a folder to have the old session files moved to.

It doesnt seem to be working... but idk yet.

Try to set threshold = 1, that way every pot will be seen as a "big pot" and you should quickly see if it picks up any hands. Make sure you set the starsHistoryPath correctly ie C:\Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory\redgrape

If you can't get it to work, set "debug_enabled= 1" and mail me the debug.txt file on {pm for email info}

edit: figured I'd remove email addy

It's working now. I didn't type in my screenname in the path in the ahk.

Report: Working perfectly
No glitches at all, the thing is exactly what i wanted.

Possible new features: Just possibilities
1. Maybe auto pop up the big pot HH? At first glance it may seem like this would get annoying but i'd like to see it.
2. HH's go away window as soon as u look at it?

Okay, new version is up on the wiki. This is what's new:
1. FullTilt support
2. Option to auto-open new hands when grabbed
3. Option to auto-remove hand from list when HH-window is closed
4. Button to clear hand list

Is number 2 and 3 what you wanted, ISF? If not, please elaborate.

I did not test it very thoroughly, so if anyone comes across a bug let me know in this thread. Thx.

OMG EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED YOU ARE GOD.

I sent you a gift.

8 tabling is a breeze now! increased my hourly rate.

HalvSame = God

Thanks for the praise and gifts guys. The coding was really not hard at all, but it's always fun when a simple little idea works out. I can't wait to get back to my desktop setup to try out 8-tabling with this thing, sadly I'll be stuck on my 12" laptop for a few weeks more.

I'll be looking at support for the iPoker network next. Keep the suggestions coming, and for the love of God stop CAPSLOCKAMENTS-ing my precious thread Very Happy
