Tags my friend as hero when I open his hhs

I sometimes share hands with a friend to help with each others game. Now every time I open a hand in the replayer that he has played he gets tagged as hero which means I don't see his hud when I have hide hero hud selected and on the off occasion that I play against him.

I have tried both removing him as hero with the "update players set optimizationstatus = 0 where player_id = xxx" and also removed him from settings as "current hero". No luck, as soon as I open a hh he gets tagged again.

Any ideas?

You need to use a different database to do this.

If that does not work, then create a new database and import only your played hands.

Try creating a new DataBase and import a small portion of your \HM2Archive so you can see if the problem exists in the new DB - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...y+played+hands
