How to export your PokerStars hand history

PokerStars doesn't save hand histories by default - you turn it on once in the client settings. After that, files pile up in a folder on their own, nothing to download manually.

1
Open the PokerStars client and sign in.
2
In the top menu open "Settings".
3
On the left pick "Playing History" → "Hand History".
4
Tick "Save My Hand History" - without it the files aren't written.
5
Right there, the "Where To Save" field shows the folder with the files. Note it down (or click "Change Folder" and pick a convenient one).
6
Open that folder on your computer and grab the tournament .txt files you need.

You upload: .txt

Want to see the hand right at the table - enable "Instant Hand History" in the table menu ("Table"). The history language doesn't matter, we read any.
