Is there any software that allows you to graphically enter information to construct a fictional hand history that can then be replayed in Popopop?I would like to construct hands from videos I've watched or forum posts and append them to Popopop files.This program would allow me to graphically choose each player's cards (if known), assign hero to BB or SB, and let me enter bet sizes on each street through text/check boxes depending on if there was a bet.Then you would just hit a button and a fictional hand history would be created, ready to plug into Popopop for later review.
I don't know any program that does that (if someone here does that'd be cool), but it's gotta be fairly easy to construct text files with HHs by overwritting real HHs from ur games. I mean just open a HH, choose a hand in which hero is in the position u want, then manually change initial stack size, hole cards, board cards and betting history. Do that with all the hands you want and erase the rest.Or even better, choose a bunch of model hands of different types (Hero on SB or BB, and for each of those one hand that ends on flop, one on turn, one on river). Then copy those hands on a separate file and use that file anytime u wanna create a HH.
If there is enough interest in something like this I may be willing to write a nice simple piece of software for it. Shouldn't take more than a night or so. I'd even be willing to sell it to husng.com for their exclusive use for say a free video membership *hint hint* haha
I've been looking for this type of software for several years, and while I have the ability to program it, I would need to spend waaaay too long installing VB or C# software and re-studying programming.This would make storing hand histories for later review so much easier...it's almost impossible right now, as editing a raw HH takes 15 minutes to get everything right.I don't know what I really would have to trade for your services making a program like this, but I'd be willing to do some extensive EV calculations on StoxEV (CardrunnersEV), for example.
If I were going to make it with a proper user interface I'd make it in Java with a pretty standard front end. It wouldn't be hard at all to make. Would you need it to work with multiple different poker sites or just one? If I do this it will need to be a high demand item though.
Hi Drew,If you can make a simple hand replayer with some key options (changing player name to Hero/Villain, note section that can be imported with the full HH, effective stacks display) that works pretty smoothly that is something we may be interested in.Send me an email to rypac13 [at] husng [dot] com and we can discuss this further.
I only care for PS, but I doubt that anyone else is really studying and storing HHs like I plan to. It will still be a lot of work even with the right software.I come from a chess backround, and the best way to practice chess tactics is solve a bunch of problems of related groups of chess tactics. If you don't immediately solve a problem, you catalog it for study, and come back to it, trying to get the theme ingrained in your mind so you don't need to think about that type of problem next time around.I think poker can be handled in much the same way. Of course, there are many more variables, and opponent styles matter, but the idea is still the same.
I have actually been working on a project that includes features exactly as you describe (and more). If you just want a 'Hand Generator', that is easy - PM me to discuss if you like, I am quite happy to fork off another project with just this functionality. Just 1 question - What do you plan to do with the Hand(s) once you have created them? Run them through Universal replayer/poker stove or something? - I have also emailed Ryan letting him know a bit more detail about my project...Drew - I dont know your level of programming experience, but if designed well, adding support for more poker sites is almost trivial...qattack - How can u know how tro program but not have development environments currently installed? Don't you find much need for self-written tools or have you recently re-installed your OS ?? LOL, I would be just as 'lost' without a compiler as without a net connection! Actually PM me anyway, as I have been thinking along similar lines (as to your chess analogy) - Im sure we can be useful to each other ;-)
My plans are to compile HHs for study and review so I can run them through Popopop periodically. This would allow quick review of hand with concepts that I do not fully understand yet and I could review them every month until I could come up with the correct reasoning for each hand.Yes, I am looking only for a Hand Generator. I am currently re-examining Auto-It as a possible platform that would be easy to program.I purchased this computer earlier this year and haven't had the need or motivation to do any programming. I started programming as hobby when I was ten years old...in 1978. I have invested a lot of time in learning programming, particularly C++ and C#. I studied 3D games for several months and followed University of Alberta's Poker AI website for some time, but never really programmed anything of signifance.Now, I realize that I'll mostly be wasting me time with programming and my time is better spent somewhere else.
I sometimes use thishttp://www.pokerhandreplays.com/You can create hand and also import hand.. I did this one as a test .. YOu can watch it there http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/2458585I don't if it will help frederic

That's pretty good...the best I've seen so far. It can do the trick for now, but I wish there was one offline.ThanX.
