I am playing on a site that is not supported by Holdem Manager 2 and would like to import the hand histories to HM2 manually so I will be able to have the stats about the players. I am thinking about writing a small program which will convert the hand histories that I will have from this site to one of supported formats by HM2.
This is an example of one hand that the site provides:
Hand #42934-208 - 2015-03-21 10:50:18
Game: NL Hold'em (100 - 3000) - Blinds 2/4
Site: PokerXX
Table: holdem 2-4
Seat 1: G63 (471)
Seat 2: 1177 (521)
Seat 3: bonbon (249.50)
Seat 4: pokemon2 (208.50)
Seat 5: purim (191.50)
Seat 6: nat (60.50)
Seat 7: sa7 (682.48)
Seat 8: 123r (895.73)
pokemon2 has the dealer button
purim posts small blind 2
nat posts big blind 4
1177 posts big blind 4
** Hole Cards ** [8 players]
Dealt to 1177 [2s 2c]
sa7 folds
123r calls 4
G63 raises to 24
1177 calls 20
bonbon folds
pokemon2 folds
purim folds
nat calls 20
123r calls 20
** Flop ** [6c 9h 4d]
nat bets 36.50 (All-in)
123r folds
G63 calls 36.50
1177 folds
** Turn ** [Ts]
** River ** [Kh]
** Pot Show Down ** [6c 9h 4d Ts Kh]
G63 shows [Ks As] (a Pair of Kings +AT9)
nat shows [9d Ad] (a Pair of Nines +AKT)
G63 wins Pot (162.50) with a Pair
Rake (8.50) Pot (171) Players (G63: 60.50, 1177: 24, bonbon: 0, pokemon2: 0, purim: 2, nat: 60.50, sa7: 0, 123r: 24)
This format is not supported by HM2.
My question: What do you guys think is the closest HM2 supported format of hand histories that I should try to convert this format to? What should I take into account before trying to program such a parser?
I looked on PokerStars HH format and it adds too many unnecessary details that the program will have to calculate, fact I don't like.
Thanks!
