This is the support thread for Combonator, a equity and combination study tool for Texas Hold'em games.

Just so its clear, Combonator is not new software -- its actually been around for about 18 months. The old (now locked) support thread is on 2+2: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...holdem-910215/. I'm starting a new support thread as a major new version has just been released, with the permission of the software mods.

hey,

im running Combonator v1.5.0 (unregistered)

After selecting a hand range and grouping it, selecting flop cards, inputting hero hole cards there is a box that is supposed to give the total equity values which does not seem to work. "Hero equity vs..."

im wondering how i can get those equities to pop up for me.

thanks in advance

All equity calculations are for registered (Pro) versions of Combonator only. I should probably remove these boxes or indicate why they don't update with the free version.

When you're using the registered version, this will update automatically showing hero's equity vs all combinations and grouped combinations (it first shows almost instantly the equity).

Along with these handy tools, you get the breakdown of equity per group in the output tab. This is updated in real time as you assign combos in to different groups. Equities can also be used as auto-selection criteria, either selection top/bottom parts of range ranked by equity, or selecting all combos within certain equities bounds.

Any chance an iPad version is coming?

Which

I've never done iOS development, but I think it would be a complete rewrite in to another language (Objective C) so I don't think it's really on the cards, sorry!

Hey, ever since the 1.5 update combonator doesn't automatically click 'Evaluate' when exporting a hand to pokerstove.

If I remember right, this was actually disabled on purpose. I had various reports from people that it wasn't very stable with the clicking and hung some machines, so i stopped the automatic clicking.

Hey Hood,

Is there a way I can paste in a hand range like "33+, A2s+, K2s+, Q6s+, J7s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, 76s, A2o+, K7o+, Q9o+, J9o+" and have the corresponding squares selected?

is there a way i can use combonator to find the hands i should be continuing with after the flop in a HU match?

for instance

villain opens 75% or hands from the button

i call the with all hands that have 50% equity against this villains range so somewhere around 35%.

flop comes down say kh 8c 4s

i villains always pots the flop giving me 2-1 to continue so i do with any hand that has better than 33% equity against villains range

is there anyway to find out this range with combonator?

No not yet, i'm looking at adding that to v1.6 shouldn't be too hard.

Right now preflop range vs range selection isn't available, but i have something working locally that i hope to have in the next version.

No range vs range selection isn't possible. It's something i'm looking in its tough to do this and keep calculations running fast.

You can do hand vs range calculation (i.e. you can give villain a token hand, like a weak made hand, and select hands with x%+ equity vs that hand.)

can i benefit as a tourney player using combonator? can i input a structure for a given tourney and then start breaking down a hand to?

Yes, no and yes, respectively.

Combonator is a range analysis-cum-flop texture analysis-cum-combination counter-cum-equity calculator. It's not an ICM calculator. But is it still a useful tool to analyse postflop play in a tournament? For sure. But it's not going to help your push-fold game.

Well my main concern is post flop. Is there a free trial or a good tutorial that shows me all the features?

Sure, the software is free with no time restriction. There is a 'pro' version with many more features for $45.

As for tutorial, there's a video manual on youtube.

All the info is available on the website.
