Saving Observed Hands on FTP & Stars

For some reason, I can't get any observed hands from Full Tilt OR pokerstars to save on my computer. I thought I had everything correctly set (even in PT), but I guess I don't. I want this not necessarily to datamine, but also to actually observe good players and learn something.

Can anyone help me?

I'm curious about this too, I was unable to find out if it was possible after a few days of attempts.

sticker what do you mean they are not saving? are your options in full tilt poker set correct. What I mean is do you have it set to save hand histories?


I pasted a picture here of mine, make sure its going to the right folder. Are you sure they are not saving or are they not importing. here is also a picture of what pokertracker should say when importing.

if both these look like this I dont know I have never had a problem.

sidenote on stars, I dont know how to datamine or save observed hands there. I think there is a way but its against stars rules to save observed hands.

OK. I fixed my FTP. I had it saving the Temp files (observed hands) to my "FullTilt/HandHistory" folder instead of my "FullTilt/HandHistory/MrSticker" folder, where my Text files (played hands) are saved.

But there's a way to have PAHUD grab observed hands from PokerStars' "Instant Hand History" feature. That's the one you use in-game. I haven't been able to figure it out yet, but I'll keep trying or I'll ask them in the PAHUD forum.

Yes, it sure is. Very! Here's the official word from Stars:

(About 3/4 of the way down the page, there is a "Q:" about recording observed hands.)
