The only way I know is to configure them to be written to disk which you need to do anyways for PT. They have a last hand thing but its only graphical.

I've heard yes but I've not done it, yet. I believe all you need to do is open the table and make sure HH are configured to be written to disk; check 2+2 Internet for more info.

You can autosave the HH to your hard drive - I don't remember exactly how I did this right now, but I think it was something obvious in the menu system.

Poker Tracker will automatically import them using the same tool you use for 'stars. I usually look at HH via PT. There's a section for FT in the PT manual.

I play cash games almost exclusively on FT, I think I've played maybe a couple sit'n'gos. From what I recall, they don't automatically send you a tournament summary, and you have to request it or maybe even enter it maually, I forget - maybe someone more familiar with tourneys can comment if you are interested in them.

couple of things to add...there is a drop down menu on the full tilt lobby that allows you to click and save hand histories to the hard drive. Once you have done this any open table will have the hand histories saved.

To import with PT you need to make sure that the file that PT is pulling from is the Full Tilt\HH folder and not the FullTilt\HH\[yourscreenname]. Those file names may not be exact but you get the picture. Party would save your files under your screen name and if you don't have PT updated the FT auto-import may have it setup wrong.

Best bet is to open up a couple of tables for datamining and run the auto-import. If for some reason it isn't picking up the hands check what I mentioned above. If it doesn't make sense you can google "datamine full tilt pokertracker" and you can find the place on the PokerTracker forums where this is discussed.

On a side note:
Also if you use auto-hotkeys that can be found on overcards.com, be aware that since Full Tilt updated its software yesterday there is no longer a custom window to filter out games you don't want, and so the autohotkey code that searched out and opened up tables of your preferred type no longer really works. However the buddy list autohotkey still works.

hope that was confusing enough

Did you see the BS answer they gave as to why they removed the Custom filter from some tables but not others. Apparently this was causing some sort of bandwidth related issues which makes no sense to me. I think they were a little unprepared for the influx of new players they are getting based on the new laws. All I know, is I was on a 2.5 month winning streak there that basically stopped last week. Hopefully its just a downswing as I want to clear my $300+ bonus but not if its gonna cost me more than that.

yeah I don't understand how that is helping their lag issues. I actually had lag a couple of times last night and I haven't before. I have a pretty beastly computer that I built last year so memory and CPU power is never an issue. My guess is they are having trouble coping with probably 5000+ new players they are seeing and they are trying to cut any corner they can to keep things going smoothly.

I would guess before the end of the year we are going to see some big software changes as they know that their players really want resizable tables. I like the Full Tilt software for the most part, but I would love it if they stopped moving the table around so that you are always seated at the bottom (GT+ can't locate the players so I have to manually move their stats to their avatar) and get the tables to resize so I can 4 table without the action overlapping.

anyway rant off....

You can fix this. I'm using v1.14 (beta?) of PAHUD and in the full tilt preferences you can click "auto center". You can also turn off the auto center behavior in the full tilt client if you really just don't like it. I'm liking it personally, I can put my stats around my seat, see what everyone else at the table sees of me.

Can't you change this, I though there was a setting for this, I like it but have also noticed the problem you have, been awhile since I've played at Full Tilt, been playing at Poker Stars lately. When does the current bonus end. I probably won't make it as I have to clear my poker stars bonues first, have my entire online bankroll there for now.

reload ends oct 20th.

you can pull the money from 'stars and there's no penalty. not sure if the bonus expires now at 'stars

It expires but its like 6 months and I'm already 1/4 done. I don't play alot but should be able to clear it easily. Not sure if I'll be able to clear the Full Tilt one, last time I only cleared like $60 before it expired. I guess I just need to play more. The bonus at P* was clearing alot faster when I was playing $1/$2 HORSE but now all the fish are at .50/$1 so I'm down there. I was surprised how well I was doing at the $1/$2 HORSE, was only holding my own once they added the .50/$1
