i was using UB , but would just like to know how to do it generally. Can i get histories when i have left the game ? Can i get old ones?
On UB there is a hand histories button for when you are at the table. (It even shows mucked cards on the river!) You can just copy and paste from there.
I'm not sure about after you've left a table but I'm sure if you contacted UB through the "live play issue" section they would email you the histories if you knew the times/table names you played at.
