Software and Tools Poker Forums

sorry for asking something probably mentioned already but i can't search all posts

my main problem with HEM1 is that it takes a while to change the bb stat and while i play tourneys i get someone actually having 10bb shown to me as having 20bb and then i either check manually etc which is time consuming or i make mistakes.

does anyone know if hem2 does this by a different way like screen reading or something so the stat gets updated automatically?

HM1 and HM2 read the previous hand history to determine this number so they can not update the BB stat in real time during the hand.

dear rep now that you are here can u enlighten me on HEM2 cause im thinking of purchasing it

1)does it detect correctly the MTT buyins from carbon (which is not the case with HEM1) and prima network
2) does it detect the rebuys for all mtt sites or do i have to put them manually also? (im not talking about pokerstars cause i don't play there)

thanks

HM2 can only detect the buyin, number of rebuys/addons... (and other info like: winnings, finish position, number of entrants, speed) if that information is either written to the handhistory file or separate summary file...
or if the handhistory file name includes that info.

So unfortunately for Carbon (and Prima) which doesn't write any of that info, you'll still have to manually edit the results for MTTs.

HM2 should be better in detecting STTs on those sites. In addition HM2 is better in detecting PokerStars games. And of course PokerStars already is the one site (along with PartyPoker... and in the past Full Tilt) that actually writes ALL that info to a file.
