Concept for an Omaha Hand Tracker
 

Since pokertracker does not support omaha, it seems there is a need for this. I wish someone(s) will do it. I have an idea for a good way to divvy up the project.

1. hand history -> xml converters.
2. An xml -> db process. Use something like the open version of mySQL.
3. A UI.

Anyone interested? or are we all just too busy playing to bother?

The main problem I see is that there are so many starting omaha hands. You can probably play for 3 days and still not get a duplicated hand if you consider suits.

This is true. However, once the raw data is stored, you should be able to find out how you do with AAxx vs. AAxxds vs AAxxds where xx > TT etc. You can also introduce a hand grouping mechanism to have a more compact database.

FYI, Pokerstat, which works for Paradise and Stars, does provide this function. It can be quite useful, although it can be somewhat cumbersome to use.

Correct me if I'm wrong: but you have to buy both versions and databases are not "mixable".

Now a UB, Party -> Stars or Paradise formatter would be cool.

In a sense, pokerstat implements 2 and 3. What's needed for 1 is a 1a and 1b:

1a. site format -> xml (site independent format)
1b. xml -> site format (in this case: stars or paradise)
