PT2 update for cereus (ub and abs merge)

[cvnpoka]

will you provide support for this new site with PT2?

I configured PT2, to import Hand Histories as if they were actually coming from Absolute Poke and it seems to be working fine. I also added an alias to my user for Absolute. Hope this helps

If they are using the old Absolute format for hand histories then using the File > Auto-Import > Absolute hand histories window like zdarma mentioned is what everyone will need to do.

See here for more details...

Ok I got Poker Tracker2 to work. But can't seem to get Poker Ace Hud to work.
Any ideas

Post PAHUD issues on that forum. You will no longer need PAHUD to record the hand histories since they automatically get saved now but if it's not displaying the stats you need to post that issue there.

this will work to get the hands in.

but its not a realistic long term solution. i dont really want to add aliases for every player i play against. i will, if thats the only option. so i was wondering if their were plans to incorporate the new cereus.

I'll have to look into something in a patch then. This isn't something that's going to be until next week at the earliest. I don't even know if it's feasible for it to import ABS hands as UB, I'd have to investigate any problems that would cause with a number of other functions in PT like the export and replayer just to name a few off the top of my head that function in specific ways depending on the hand history format and assume each site has it's own format.

EDIT:
Actually, after thinking about this more, I think it would be a lot better and easier to add an "Auto Alias" feature which will basically allow you to run it and PT will automatically create an alias between any UB and Absolute names that are the exact same. That way, none of the underlying functionality related to hand history formats would be impacted because we would have hands imported in ABS format but the site id is UB. How does an auto-alias option sound?

Sounds like sweet music to me

You have to be dealt cards for the hand histories to show up. Their software doesn't store the files if you don't play the hand.
