ok ok i understand, like always super outstanding customer service

Those two suggestions by Gazavat looks very well!

I'd like to see that as well. Re: Gaz suggestions. Also, I get a bug in the following situation:
Change a checkdown weight, run max exploit, press control+z to go back to original ranges, checkdown weight is also changed back. Thanks for all the work as usual

Ok, I'll look into that.

Hi, I hope someone can help me:
I am trying to figure out which hands I can profitable 3b/shove Preflop assuming I know Villains Open/4bet/Call-Shove range.
Heres the tree:

So since Villain is folding 66.5% to a 3bet we should be able to 3bet any2 for instant profit. MY tree says I can only 3bet 99+,AK and call a shove with QQ+,AK.
Ive been trying for forever but I cannot figure out the error. When I get rid of the checkpoint everything works fine but then I have to do trial and error to find the best solution.
tx in advance.

Hi scylla,
is it possible to set a variable to topX% of equity/EV?

In this tree Button is the one who 3bets and UTG is the one who calls the shove.
So I suspect you're mixing up those two players somehow.

Anyhow, if I understand you correctly you want to know how button should play here. The reason why most hands are -EV for "Raise 9" is because you're shoving them all in after UTG raises, which is definitely -EV for most hands. In order to play any two succesfully by 3-betting you need to fold them in case villain plays back at you (which is something that you're not doing right now; right now you're shoving all hands; even 72o; that's just not going to work).

So you should just compute both decisions for all hands (as you're doing now), compute and remove the -EV hands from the "Raise 100" action. You are now succesfully 3bet stealing with any two and correctly giving up if UTG doesn't fold. After that, again compute and see how all hands perform under "Raise 9". I suspect you'll find that indeed all hands are +EV, given that villain folds too often.

There's an even simpler way of doing all of this though. Just use the Max Exploit tool (it's the "Ex" icon in the toolbar) to figure out optimal play for Button. The program will work though the above steps automatically for you and figure out the optimal way to exploit villain.

You can just write a simple script for this.
For that you'd need to assign a script checkpoint to the condition where you want the top % (let's use location 8 for this example).
Now just write the script

1) Set all hands in location 8.
2) Compute
3) Set top X% in location 8
4) Compute

You can run the script with F4.
So instead of pressing F7 to compute, just use F4 instead.


For more on working with scripts, see the instructional videos under "Help->Video manual".
You need the videos under "Advanced: Writing scripts".

is there a good intoduction series to this very complex programm?

Well, there's the video manual.
Start the program and go to "Help->Video manual".

Hi, Scylla!
If i understand correctly, now OESD board means smth like JT98. I thought always OESD in CREV means the board with two connected cards, like JT3. Will you add this kind of boards and when?
Thank you!

Ok, I'll take a look at it.

I spent a load of time today creating preflop ranges, and I have a couple of suggestions for the process.

- Not being able to modify a range, or rename a range (or category name) is really annoying as you have to re-store the range, then delete the old one, then move the new one into the right place, instead of just renaming or modifying and saving.

- The menu on the left that displays the names of the ranges isn't wide enough and cuts off the end of the range names. This can be a problem if you have a lot of similar named ranges.

yeah would be nice to widen the category space

Ok, I'll see what I can do.

Suppose I am trying to work out a strategy for 4-betting OOP... should I be trying to maximize the EV in node "A" or node "B" in the picture below?

It seems to me that node "A" is what we should be focusing on to maximize profitability as it is your EV for the hand as a whole.

Hey scylla
If i update CREVbeta will all my stored ranges be deleted. It has happened before and I really don't want it to happen again.

Hey Scylla,

I am trying to manually allocate a POT between 3 players using the %POT checkdown function. I can say SB gets 20% of pot, but how can I specify how the remaining 70% get distributed between BTN and BB. Let's say BTN gets 30% and BB gets 50% of the same total 3way pot? Is there any way to achieve my goal?

The checkdown option itself only allows you to set a pot % for a single player.
If I remember correctly, the remaining pot is distributed among the other players according to their equity.

However, if you really want to set percentages for all players, you could just:
- Let SB raise all in 20% of the time, with BTN and BB folding
- Let SB fold in the other cases. In this scenario, let BTN checkdown for 37.5% of the pot.
That should accomplish the same thing.

You can make a backup of your custom settings with "File->Export program settings to text block".
Or you could just make a copy of the entire directory, just to be sure.

Well, node B is the actual node where you are 4-betting, so you should maximize the EV in that node.

There's not much of an issue in using node A though, given that its EVs are a direct consequence of what happens in node B.

I've just started having a slight problem when doing EV runs using the Monte Carlo method. It sometimes has trouble starting off the run - it will stick at 0-5% for maybe 20 seconds, but then once it starts going properly it runs as normal and is complete within the normal 5s or so. Any ideas?

Could you send a savefile to support please?

Is there a feature that can rank hands according to their equity related to BB's range on certain flops? For example I want to shove all hands over a flop cbet in a 3-bet-pot that are ahead of x% of BB's (preflop 3-bettor) range?

Yes, that's possible.
There's 2 ways to do this.

First of all, set the action so that you're shoving with "all hands".
Now compute (F7) so that the action is filled with EV/equity data.

And now:

Option 1: EV/Equity filter
Mouse over the action and press Alt+F.
Select "Filter by equity for top X%", "Filter from just this condition" and fill in the desired equity under the field "Use this value for X".

Option 2: The range composition tool
Mouse over the action and press Alt+A.
This will bring up the Range Composition Tool.
In the table on the right, select "Equity", so that the table is sorted according to equity.
And now use the slider under the matrix to select the required top % (the slider uses the ranking that is used in the table).
Press the button "Accept current selection" to accept.
