Hi all,
I've begun working on an XML format for poker hand histories, based on
numerous earlier contributions from the 2+2 forum.
Most of the small details have been worked out (I'll post some samples
later), but I have a question for the high level architecture.
Do people here see a hand history as en entity of its own, or as a
sub-element of a tournament or of the table of a cash game?
In other words, is the context of the hand part of the hand, or does it
contain the hand? See examples below.
[I'll restart the discussion on 2+2 earlier next week]
//Disclaimer: I work for Partygaming (PartyPoker)
The immediate need for this format is internal, but the hope is to also
publish hands in that format, and if possible have consensus on the
format so that people can standardise on it.
//
Eg 1:
<pokerhandxml>
<tournament attributes>
<pokerhand>
stuff
</pokerhand>
</tournament>
</pokerhandxml>
<!-- which leaves the possibility of concatenating multiple hands in the
same file -->
Or Eg2:
<pokerhandxml>
<pokerhand>
<context tournament=attributes>
stuff
</pokerhand>
</pokerhandxml>
The same question for cash games: do people prefer having the table data
(number of seats, stake, etc.) include the hand itself or be part of the
context of the hand ?
