Hi there ilovemagic and welcome to blogging.

To post a hand from HM2 I use the following:

#1 Go to OPTIONS and click SAVE
#2 I usually save it and put it on my desktop but where you save to is your choice obviously
#3 I upload it to a free image hosting site such as http://tinypic.com
#4 Click file: CHOOSE FILE, highlight the file you want to upload.select OPEN from the options at the bottom left
#5 Click UPLOAD NOW
#6 Choose IMG Code For Forums & Message Boards, highlight the address link in the box and copy/paste into your forum post.

It sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is, but if anyone out there has an easier way perhaps they will let us all know!

Have fun with PLO, it's a fun game.

Mal.

thanks for the tip. i just couldnt see the save button the first time i looked. its so inconspicious. hm2 needs to have a better interface. im really not digging it at all right now.

finally got 1000 posts woot woot lol

You're very welcome. Oh and even though it was a close run thing, well done on 1000 posts without a reload!

Run good.

Run good.

what do you mean by that? i have reloaded like 30 times on stars since i started playing poker lol

by the way i wasnt going to show this, but i cant help myself after nearly doubling my starting capital in one day.

ohhh ya baby up to $56 now. doubled my roll in less then 24 hrs due to a super mega heater :)))

just added another $12 by winning a 45 man $1 sng. won like 10/12 showdowns in the tourney which is nice

got my account up to $75 now. time to take a 2bi shot at plo5. will start by 1 tabling a regular plo table...zoom seems to fast for me at the moment even though i breezed thru plo2 zoom with a 50bb/100 winrate thru about 4k hands, i want to start plo5 slow and my hud works for regular tables so i will have an increased edge going in. wish me luck!

finished my first plo5 session up 6 stacks thru roughly 700 hands which is great, bankroll now sits at a cool $107

i also tried to make an educational video but i ended up running into a couple glitches and it didnt work out as planned...more to come in the following days!!

good for you man! keep it up! following.

now sits at a nice $119. if all goes well in the next couple days a shot at plo10 might be in the cards for me
