PokerStars HomeGames

[jeffstars]

From what I understand, the latest beta versions of PT3 are compatible with the PokerStars HomeGames - Am I correct?

I just did an import of some HomeGames HHs that I played earlier this month and the message I got in Import Status was: "Warning: Unrecognized game type: {name of table, etc.]"

If, indeed, the new betas (I'm running v 3.10) do support the HomeGames on PokerStars, then are the hands displayed some other way, as opposed to the regular way, under the general tab?

Home Games for real money should be working properly. Were these games for real money?

[jeffstars]

Yes, they were for real money.

I just requested and received all of my hands on the year from PokerStars - I was told that I received all of my HomeGames HHs in that, but that they cannot distinguish which is which. They did mention that they are written differently and warned that they might not work with my third-party software.

After that, I did the import.... However, something didn't work properly because I am sure the data is wrong. Also, note the import status message I reported in my first post. My numbers did change somewhat: hands, hours, and amount won. Again, I'm sure these numbers are incorrect.

Also, are the hands supposed to be displayed under the General tab, just as any other cash game would, or do they have a special extension after the stakes?

[jeffstars]

In particular, I played 2 big sessions of HomeGames, one in January and one in March.

I can't say for certain whether the data is wrong for January because I don't have Omaha Tracker - it's possible that it could be right judging by the Amount Won under the Hold'em tab.

But there is almost no data (if not, then there IS no data) for the session I played in March. I will email PokerStars again, just to be certain that I was given all of my hands.

In the mean time, is it at all possible that I could get another 15 day free-trial for the Omaha Tracker, so that I could check the data imported there, and confirm whether the session for January was [properly] imported.

Also note, after the second import, I received the same types of errors I mentioned in the first post, along with numerous warnings for canceled hand histories.

I guess it would be helpful if I added that I took some screen shots of PT before and after the imports...

After the first import, which was to include all hands for this month, HomeGames included, the Import Statistics showed that 600 hands should have been imported. After I refreshed PT3, and compared the screen shots of before and after, I noticed that only 294 hands were imported. They also happened to all be unique heads-up hands, that I must have forgotten to transfer over from my other laptop. There were no 6-max hands, which was what I played in the HomeGames (I didn't play any Omaha this time, just all Hold'em).

Could you zip up and send us those hands via the support system? We'll investigate further what could be going wrong for you here - we haven't had any reported home game issues in a while, so the hand examples will be very useful.

If you request the extended trial in the ticket you create we'll make sure that gets taken care of for you as well.

Which hands do you want me to send?

The files I received from PokerStars include my HomeGames hands, but also every other hand I've played so far in 2011.

[kraada]

I thought it was only 600 hands - we can easily handle that and figure out what we need.

If it's much more than that, is it possible for you to narrow the sample down to the day you played the home game in March?

I will take a look and see if I can parse them myself.

[jeffstars]

Sent. Not sure if it's 100% of the hands from that session, but I did a search and cut every hand from the file that I was sent for all hands from this month/that period of time.
