Wrong buy in amounts

[BDnannac]

Merge Network. Every tournament and SNG I play shows up in the results tab as a $11 buy in. Am I doing something wrong?

[Patvs]

Merge doesn't write to the handhistory file:
how many entrees there are, what the buyin info is, what position you finished, how much you won.

The $11 is a "default buyin amount": you can change that by going to options--> settings--> default tourney buyin
If you're playing a different buyin, or would like to change the buyin info/results of older tournies, you'll have to manually edit the results: tourney---> results--> dataview--> rightclick on the game

Thanks Patvs.

[impulse]

So, how many more months it will take you to fix the buy-ins?

[netsrak]

This is not a bug, we have no chance to change it because Merge doesn't write the infos into the handhistory.

[impulse]

This isn't true. Every sng tournament type has it's own name of table. For example, reg speed and turbo husngs are being recognized, while super turbo husngs aren't.

Same pattern for other tournaments.
Let me know if you need more info.

[Sarek]

OK, then help us, please and collect ALL these patterns - and what they mean.
From all limits and all game types. With no exclusions.
And suggest - what to do when they will inrtoduse tomorrow some new tables? Or simply change rake...

[impulse]

I collected ALL of the patterns and what they mean. From all limits and all game types, even the ones HM doesn't support. No exclusions obv.

Hope this helps.

[Patvs]

Can you attach email us the .doc to support@holdemmanager.com
with also a link to this thread in the email.

[impulse]

Done.

[impulse]

Just to let everybody know, I'm not affiliated with the post #13 and have no idea who that is. I don't support neither him, nor Sarek. I don't need no praises (lol) and no apologies. All I care about is HM recognizing buy-ins on Merge. I'd really appreciate if someone gave me an ETA on implementing the fix (which, from my understanding, is not that hard given the fact that some of the games are recognized for a long time already).

p.s. though being nicer to your paid users wouldn't hurt your business.

[Patvs]

When it comes to Merge. We didn't realize PokerTracker had cracked the Merge handhistories by hardcoding which table name corresponds with which buyin. Hardcoding (where we manually add every table name to our import parser code) is not something HoldemManager normally uses. (instead we use a importer that only looks for the buyin in $ info)

We used a hardcoding system before to detect which tables on Full Tilt are RUSH tables. So it can also be done for Merge.
With the email from Impulse--> we'll write up a bug report to implement this. I doubt it will be added to HM1 (since hardly no new features are added to HM1, but it definitely will be added to HM2)

[impulse]

Hello Patvs,
thanks for the answer.

This is hardly a new function for HM1, as some of the buy-ins are already hardcoded in, as I wrote before. As an example, "Alligator Room" recognition had been implemented for a while now. I'm sure, many others also.

Please add this to HM1, as I've been testing HM2 since its early beta and I still don't see myself ever using it.

[impulse]

Is this ever going to get fixed?

[netsrak]

Its still an open issue and i don't have any ETA for this.
