Hi,

I've about 30k hands on a certain regular who has recently started changing his game dramatically, how do I delete his old data before say last month so my HUD reflects his new style of play?
TIA

You can delete the hands FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Purge Hands (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/197/Purge+Hands) which will update your reports but until we build the cache rebuilder your hud stats wont refresh the changes unless you export and reimport all those hands into a new database

This will not work because it delete hands from almost all players; Except the selected one...

Can u add an option: "Delete ONLY hands from THIS player" ?!


Tks,

Hi Icaro - This procedure will achieve what you want

Download & install this free program (npp 5.7) (The green button is the easy one to install) :
>> http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/files/
You will be using it to edit your raw HH's, but as a precaution against mistakes copy all your C:\HMArchive HH .txt files to a new folder

###
IN THE npp PROGRAM & USING THE .TXTs IN THE NEW FOLDER:

Open ALL the .txt files that date before July 2010 (open them with npp)

npp menu bar > Search > Replace > The 'Replace' dialog box appears

In the 'Find what:' field type 'playerX' EXACT screen name


In the 'Replace with:' field type 'playerY' (which is a screen name you have invented. But it's important to use a name that doesn't exist already in your HH's)

Check the 'Match Case' box

Click the 'Replace All in All Opened Documents' button

Close the dialog

Save & close the open HH's

Now 'playerX' only exists from July onwards

###
[B]IN HM:

Create a new empty DB
>> FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Database Management (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/190/Database+Management)
>> FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Create / Delete Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/75/Create+%7B47%7D+Delete+Database)

Import all the HH's from the new folder into the new DB using the 'Import from Folder' button
>> FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: How to Import & Export Hands (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/98/How+to+Import+%26+Export+Hands)

Check in HM reports & replayer that 'playerX' only shows recent stats & your new DB functions well

If you are happy after using the DB for playing poker you can now delete the old DB

###
Bear in mind...
You will have to export/import player notes if you use them
Tournament summaries
bonuses & rakeback etc

For this player...

If you want to analyse all his hands for all time you will have to create an alias for him & include 'playerX' & 'playerY' in the alias
