Sharing O8 databases

[GooperMC]

Yes it is.

[GooperMC]

There are some sites that are now saving all observed hands to your hard drive.

From poker trackers website

"Empire Poker
Party Poker
PokerNow
Intertops Poker
Coral Poker
Multi Poker

no hand history downloads are needed from any of the sites listed above. The hand histories are stored on your hard drive and can be loaded into Poker Tracker on virtually a real-time basis."

I have 500k+ hands of o8 limit split between 6max 1/2 & 5/10 and full ring 10/20 & 20/40. Lemme know how this goes and I'll try to contribute in some meaningful way. I would also consider trading db's with other high-speed enabled 2+2r's.

If there was interest in this idea I was going to set up a web site for everyone to use. So far there have only been 3 people (including myself) who want to share so I don't think that it is worth the time.

Maybe if a few more people want to share ...

Or just get a g-mail account.

I have a gmail account, I just thought that if many people wanted to do this a website would help organize it.

I have started to data mine the lower limits on party 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6. I would be interested in sharing whatever data anyone else has.

[GooperMC]

For those of you who are interested in sharing what levels are you mining?

I have:
.5/1 Full Ring: 29,184
1/2 Full Ring: 6,598
2/4 Full Ring: 11,199
PL $25 Full Ring: 17,125
PL $50 Full Ring: 925
PL $100 Full Ring: 980

Also if you want to share databases make sure that you don't have the "Do no store the actual hand histories text for these hands" checked.

The only way to merge databases is to export and import the hand histories, so we can't share unless you are saving the hand histories.

As previously noted I have started 1/2, 2/4 3/6 ring games on Party. I just fire up party and observe 4 games while I am doing other stuff at work or home. It is amazing how quickly you can amass a large amount of data (about 200 hands/hour).
