Mark hands in HEM (AHK script)

[Nakamura]

I haven't used this yet, but it seems useful to mark hands and review them later in HEM at the end of a sesh. Mark Hand, Great NEW AHK Script

Doesn't the little check box in the tables HH's do the same thing. I've always clicked on an HEM hand history and then clicked the little box. Then when I want to review I just go to the hands column and click the show marked hands only. Does this do other things as well?

This. I clicked the link but it was just a brief description so I'm not sure what makes this better?

For one, you can mark a hand by using a hotkey of your choice, which means fewer mouse-clicks. I don't use the mark hand feature at all, so I'm guessing this was written before HEM made it easier to mark hands. That said you probably won't find this all that useful unless you play lots of tables, are lazy, or using a gamepad.

pretty sure it marks the current hand. Whereas in HEM you have to wait a few seconds before the hand is over. Kindof a pain to go find that table if you have a bunch of tables stacked or tiled.

Yes, you point this in the direction of the HH folders and it just harvests the CURRENT hand from your HH folder. It then runs an SQL query and finds the hands in your HEM database.

If you stack 20 tables and have a slow PC, opening the mini-view and waiting for it to pop up and then mark the hand is a luxury I just don't have time for.

I just found another link to it, that probably explains things better Script: Mark Current Hand - Gambling and Poker Software Forum

The alternative is to use something like this AHK Script: HEM Shortcuts | SickRead.com. Uses the arrow keys to open the mini-viewer and M to mark. Again the issue is the mini-viewer has to open, using is both unnecessary and waste of computer resources.
