Hello, I tried today to import (manually, of course, by "get hands from disk") hands I played at plo but got that warning (see subject), am I doing anything wrong?
not even 1 hand got imported.
v4.15.29
Thanks!

GGPoker have changed something in their omaha hand histories which means that PT4 doesn't currently recognize them. We are updating PT4 to handle this change - if you want to receive a fast notification when the fix is available please open a Support Ticket about it.

I experienced the same. Until PT have fixed this, as a workaround I -
1. Open up my HH files in my favourite text editor
2. Find and Replace "PLO" with "Omaha Pot Limit"
3. Save
4. Import as normal.

Hope that helps.

That was a very good tip! Thanks a lot.

If you want to bring it a step further, you might want to automate the process and do all files at once.

The solution below works on my Mac, you might have to find an equivalent solution for windows.

1. go to your terminal command prompt
2. go to the directory where all your hand histories are saved under (may be Downloads?)
3. run the following code:

Code: Select all
LC_ALL=C find . -type f -name '*.txt' -exec sed -i '' s/" PLO "/" Omaha Pot Limit "/ {} +


It will take care of all the .txt files in the all subdirectories.
