Hey all

I've been using PokerEv for a while to track how good/bad (mostly bad) my luck runs in Allin situations. However, PokerEv has a few issues for me:

• It doesn't work with PokerTracker3
• It's slow to load and calculate hands
• It only takes into account money entered on the all-in street and ignores money bet on earlier streets. This is a controversial issue I know and some people like it that way but I don't.

Poker Tracker 3 promises EV calculations but I got tired of waiting so I decided to write my own software which will address all these issues. It works with PT3, it caches hands in the PT3 database so it's blazing fast after the initial processing is done and it calculates EV the way I expect it to taking the entire pot into account.

It also breaks down the hand into side pots so in multiway hands, you get multiple entries, one for each pot.

I also wrote another version that does the same thing for SnG tourneys. It currently only does EV in chips or blinds but the plan is to add ICM EV shortly.

Anyway, here's the links to download. Feel free to post here or PM me if you have questions/problems. If you really like it, you can show your appreciation buy padding my Poker bankrolls on Full Tilt (nowan) or PokerStars (nowanuno) with a few bucks

I'll be posting new version in this thread.

Quick bug fix - Double clicking a hand caused a crash instead of bringing up the HH.

Thsi is really good. Thanks a lot.

Thanks nice program

If you take a look at my SNG luck code then I included the C++ source for the code that does the ICM-based EV Luck stuff. Feel free to take whatever of the code might be of help and/or the outcome lookups.

hand_outcome_generator.h - Has all the code that is used to work out the expected EVs and deals with the outcome lookups. Should be fairly self explanatory (ie: how I've used lookups to speedup the 2-way and 3-way preflop all-in calculations, how I store/unpack the lookups to make the zipped filesize ~20MB, etc).

BackTestAllInLuck.h - Uses the HandOutcomeGenerator class to work out and print the EV differences, etc.

SteveBrecherHandEval.h - Is a modified copy of Steve Brecher's uncopyrighted hand evaluator that can be used in place of the GNU pokersrc library. I had to use this to be able to release only part of my code.

I've not included any of the other classes used, but they should be pretty much self-explanatory from the member names. Just reading through hand_outcome_generator.h and BackTestAllInLuck.h should be enough for you to re-implement the algorithms in your own codebase quite easily and will hopefully save you quite alot of time re-doing the same stuff as I had to.

I'm sure alot of people will be happy to get a version of the SNG luck stuff that can work from the PT3 DB rather that the current system of converter AHK scripts, etc (my code was never really meant to be more than a proof-of-concept to test if the original SNGLuckAnalyser code was giving correct results for Party).

Screenshots?

Any chance of holdem manager support?

.

Sorry, I don't have plans for HM.

Fixed a crash when filtering

SngLuck

HM support and ill ship you some cash on stars.

Also, omaha?

Tempting but I just looked at HM database structure and it really looks like a big pain in the a$$ compared to PT3 which is rather straightforward. Also, I don't have a HM license so I can't use it for developing/testing.

Any chance of source?

I changed links in the OP to newest version, and added to screenshots there too.

You mean source code? Maybe a bit later...
Thanks for updating the first post.

THIS.
HM support is massive.

Hmm, I just checked HM site. HM already has a luck line which is basically what HoldemLuck is.

HM has no omaha

Not for stts

Ahh, I see

I'll have another look at HM but don't hold your breath. If anyone in this forum knows how the database schema is set up in HM and could help with writing SQL queries, that would help.

Fixed bug with Date filtering in locales that format dates Postgres can't handle.

I'd be interested to know when ICM luck is added.

Does this work with PT2?
Does this work with large samples?

I'll post here when/if I add ICM
Doesn't work with PT2
What do you mean by "large samples"? Why wouldn't it?

HM has only all-in EV

That's what HoldemLuck does too.

PokerEV only works with samples up to around the 100k mark.

This should work with very large samples sizes then. You may experience a long startup time when it calculates new hands for the first time but after that it should be really fast.
