It's a common problem now regs want to play each other for real money HU but don't want to have to pay rake. The only problem is HEM won't track or have a HUD for play money games. Is there any chance you could tweak HEM a bit to allow play money hands to be imported/tracked so this could be done? Then money could be escrowed or if they trust each other agreed to be shipped at the end and people would save a ton on rake.

It's unlikely this will be added anytime soon. (although I realize for the HU play money matches with no rake it would be very useful)


The reason is, we can hardly handle all the REAL MONEY hands.
As the pokersites, constantly:
-add new real money games / tournies
-tweak their existing games
-CHANGE their handhistory / and summary formatting
It's a constant battle to keep up with fixes/updates for these issues.

Adding play money would basically DOUBLE that.
Does the 2+2 community mainly play HU Play Money on one specific site?

If you were to support one site it would probably be Pokerstars. They have:

a) support for US players
b) 200bb HU playmoney tables

I think everyone agrees that it would be all right if HEM only supported tracking on PS as everyone can play there. Objections anyone?

Plus it would probably not be a big issue to support it, the hand histories are saved normally to the hard drive. The only feature needed is the option to show/hide playmoney hands in HEM stats/reports etc..

For your convenience, here are some Stars playmoney hh's from my recent session testing the tables:

edit: Also, I don't see much point in supporting an array of play money stakes, 1/2 (the smallest stakes available) would probably be sufficient as those who want this feature probably don't normally play a bunch of play money and thus won't have a large play money bankrolls. Besides, there isn't really any point to playing higher than that, at least for the purpose of this whole request.
