Not all hands imported during play
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 2:06 pmI was playing a few MTTs on FTP, one at a time (so no multitabling), on my netbook. PT3 was auto-importing and displaying HUD.
After the end of the session, I wanted to look up one particular hand, but could not find it. So I looked up the HH file in the processed folder and inspecting that one, I saw that that particular hand was in the HH. So for some reason PT3 didn't import it.
So I wanted to reproduce by copying that HH file into the FTP HH folder. But then I saw that there were still 3 files sitting there, including the one that was already in the Processed folder, with the same filesize. So rather than copying that file, I first wanted to see what PT3 would still do with those 3 files, and low and behold it found 80+ new hands in addition to the 300-ish duplicates.
Then when everything was imported again, I stopped the auto-import and the 3 files would still be sitting in the HH folder. Only after I exited the FTP client and redid an auto-import (this time all hands being duplicates) and then the files were finally removed from the HH folder.
Now, the fact that the files were still sitting there is probably just a file-lock problem. But that those 80+ hands were not imported during play (while single-tabling) is less reassuring. Not sure if it's related, but once I was at the final table, I think it took over 30 hands until the HUD would finally come up as well.
