Other players will have long 'random' names which begin with their seat number, so the name of the player in seat 1 will begin with 'P1-', etc.īecause of the way that the player names are generated you will often get different opponent names when importing grabbed and downloaded hand history files. This works the same in grabbed hands as it does in hands you later download from Ignition. PT4 will generate unique names for each player, which are updated as players leave and join the table. Player names are fully anonymous in the Ignition software. Please ensure that you have PT4 open before you join your tables. The Ignition Hand Grabber App can only correctly grab hands from Ignition tables which are opened after the App is already running. You can change the language using the dropdown menu at the top of the lobby window.

The Ignition (or Bovada/Bodog) software must be running in English for the Hand Grabber App to work.

If you want to enable grabbing of Zone hands as you play you can do so via the Options (gear) button on the Status window. We recommend either leaving Zone hand grabbing disabled and using only the downloaded histories for Zone hands, or using a dual-database setup to import downloaded hands to a separate database to be used for reviewing data. You will get better data for Zone hands by importing the complete hand histories that you can download from the Ignition client after 24 hours, and if Zone hand grabbing is enabled you will need to purge the generated sessions before importing the downloads. This will give correct win/loss results for hero, but hero's other stats and villains' data will not be correct in hands where you fast-fold.īecause the players are anonymous and change every hand the Hud cannot be shown even if hands are importing as you play.

Grabbing of Zone Poker hands is disabled by default because grabbing these hands during play only allows us to generate partial hand histories up to the point in the hand at which you fold.
