Re: Let\'s make a deal
I definitely want to take you up on your offer! Unfortunately you haven't supported overtly the idea of placing raw HH data directly at the disposal of your wiki readers. With this data they could choose to either study the hand using the Bison Hand Converter, and displaying Bison output here in 2+2, or could see the hand unfold in the "replay" mode using PokerTracker or some other hand replayer. Notice another fellow in this thread indirectly brings to our attention another hand replayer presently limited to Party Poker and skins, but developers are working feverishly to adapt it to PokerStars. This hand replayer is totally self-standing, not making an effort to also bring all the statistical treasures PT does. BUT. It demonstrates that hand replaying, similar to the way internet casinos present tables to players, is an interesting prospect to enhance clarity of understanding, so necessary for we beginners.
I envision not only authors presenting their practice hands in HH format, and making these hands available on their own websites, but also internet casinos making actual played hands available to all. They would convert to hide dates and times, player names, etc. They could draw from play done a year before, offering 200 consecutive hands played at a particular table, and identities etc would be protected. These special HH would let me, a raw beginner, actually track play at $10/20 tables. I could watch play unfold at my pace, and could review the same hand a dozen times or more, until I felt I understood which underlying theories were of dominating importance (not be to confused with dominating poker hands!).
I think I understand what you're getting at, concerning adding commentary to hands. When originally placed on wiki these hands could have outright erroneous interpretations, and yet these errors would be corrected as they were discovered. This discovery process would permit many viewers to critique what was said, and the eventual result would be a very educational hand!

PS: How would your commentary be added to the HH data?
