Disable invalid pot size

[mattpt4]

I would like to have the option of disabling "invalid pot size" and "invalid pot size/winnings for hand" errors when importing.

I understand the reason for this feature but would like the option to disable it and import the hands anyways

That will not be possible. When the hand history is inconsistent we do not know what data to properly import. If we did, we would just import the hand in the first place.

Thank you for the quick response. Sorry for the cross post I wasn't sure which thread it should go in or if it should go in both. I see how a lot of information such as the action makes sense (there is not a check when someone has to call a bet, etc) is important in verifying the hand to allow importing it but I really don't see how matching the calculated final/total pot size with the reported pot size is important before allowing an import. How does this really have any effect on the integrity of the hand history?

Imagine for a moment a very simple hand that said you bet $50 and were called and won the hand. Ignore everything else - but imagine that the summary said you won $14. You should have won $50 minus rake. So what should we put in for the winnings - +$50 or +$14? What do you want reflected on your graph? Because we don't know why the amount we add up from the action doesn't match the summary. Is there a player action missing or written incorrectly? Is the rake sky high and not shown?

This is a simplistic analysis - but I hope it sheds a bit of light on why these conflicts can't just be ignored.

I understand, thank you.
