PokerStars HH's in PokerTracker?

[PokerPatNEU]

Is there an easy way to dump all your PS hands into PT? The only way i know how to get stars hand histories is through email, and i don't know how to upload them all into PT. Is there another way to get the HH's? Or to have PT automatically save them while you're playing?

I have only ever used PT before with party HH's and the way to load them all was more obvious.

You can configure your ptracker to request an e-mail every 30 minutes, and then configure it to check POP3. So at the end of the night you hit one button and voila. You can also save the HHs off into text documents and the like and load those in, but there's really no reason to do that, configure your Pop3 mail.

Ugh i'm kinda an email newbie. I use Microsoft Outlook, is there a readme somewhere on the PT site that can teach me how to configure it?

Also - If i decide to save them to text files, how many HH's can i save at once? And if so, does PT read a blank line as a break to start the new HH? If thats the case, i think i will just go that route.

I'd recommend getting the files on your HD, because then you can update your gametime stats every minute and you don't have to mess about with emails. Go into options/instant hand histories and make sure your stars client is saving to your HD. Then just use the lightning bolt in poker tracker and point at the directory they're in and they will all import. This will work for all new hands, old ones will have to be emailed to you.

Sweet thanks Legend, didn't realize there was that option on stars to auto-save them. Cheers.
