Import error when amount called is lower than 1BB (GGPoker)
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2025 3:53 pmHi,
While importing HH from GGPoker, the PT4 (updated to latest version) incorrectly returns an error for some of the hands. To be precise, when a player makes a call that is less than 1BB, the hand does not get through and the following error comes up: "Invalid blind amounts (stake:X vs called:Y)". Where X is the BB amount (e.g. at NL5 it is 0.05, at NL10 0.10 etc). and Y is value lower than X. Basically, it happens when someone goes all-in and other person calls but the the called amount is lower than the BB amount. Below you can see examples of hands, I marked the lines that causes problem.
Example 1 - shortstack moved all-in raising less than a 1BB, bigger stack called:
Poker Hand #HD2423829091: Hold'em No Limit ($0.02/$0.05)
Table 'NLHYellow69' 6-max Seat #3 is the button

Seat 4: 733a9bcd showed [5h 5c] and won ($3.88) with a pair of Fives
Seat 5: 7e279b07 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: 2b170136 (small blind) showed [Ah Kc] and lost with Ace high
So my questions are:
- can I somehow resolve this by myself - adjust the hand manually or do something in PT4?
- is this a known problem and is it planned to be fixed in the future?
