Import Hand from Message Board

The Wizard can import most hand histories that have been converted to a readable format and posted on message boards. The basic steps to import message board hands are:

  1. In your web browser, select the hand history text.
  2. Copy the selected text to the Windows clipboard.
  3. In the Wizard, click on the Paste hand history toolbar button.

Detailed Instructions


First, display the message board hand history in your web browser.

Note that you must select the entire hand history text including the preflop actions. Selecting too much text will not cause a problem, but the hand may miss some information or not import at all if you do not select the entire hand history.

Open the Wizard and press the "Paste hand history" toolbar button.

Limitations


If you are importing a hand history that was not exported by the SitNGo Wizard, there are a few limitations of the message board hand history import that you should keep in mind.

1. Hole card suits are not imported. Since the suits of the hole cards are displayed as images and the images are not copied to the clipboard, the Wizard has no way to determine the suits. The Wizard assigns random suits and always assumes that the hero's hand is unsuited. The actual suits do not matter, but if the hero's hand is suited you should click on the hero's hand in the Wizard's game view and change it to the corresponding suited hand.

2. The tournament structure may not be correct. Always verify that the tournament structure is correct and change it if necessary. The wrong tournament structure will invalidate the results.

If the hand was exported by the SitNGo Wizard, all hand information will be correctly imported. This includes the opponent hand ranges that the original poster used when he exported the hand history.

If you find any hand history text that does not import, please copy it into an email and send it to .
