Ok, bug fixed.
I've uploaded a new version which should be able to read the files now.

Thanks for the report!

Works now. Fantastic work, scylla, congrats.

I'm trying to model a situation where I am the small blind and either raise or fold. Does the program think of folding the small blind as 0EV or -0.5EV? In other words if the EV of my action is -0.13 does that mean it is better or worse than folding?

It considers folding as 0 EV since the EV is measured after you've posted the blind (and it's no longer yours).

Ok, new version uploaded.

Bugs fixed in Full tilt and Pokerstars.

Go here for a new copy.

I've got a scenario where BTN opens, I shove in the BB and BTN calls some hands and folds others. Right now I've been going through every hand individually to see which are +EV and which aren't, but I was wondering (and hoping) whether there was a way for the program to automatically spit out which hands are +EV in this given scenario. Is this possible?

Yes, perform an EV calculation and hover over the EV field of the appropriate decision.
You'll get a popup with the individual holecard performance.

For instance something like this:


Should you actually be the button in this situation, then call with all hands and see which ones are +EV.


This is what you meant, right?



PS: This is explained in the video manual. You can normally view it at www.stoxpoker.com/videos (unfortunately there's some minor problems and you probably won't find it here). You can also download it here. Click on the links. The download will take a few minutes. No download window will pop up, but the download is being performed. Don't close the window before you have the files.

Aah of course. The answer, as always, was too simple to see.

Hi guys,

The old version of the program just expired.
I haven't gotten hold of an admin yet to put the new version online, but for now you can get it here.
You can also get the video manual there in case you can't find it at www.stoxpoker.com/videos.

There's some new features in the new version. I'll make the release anouncement when everything is officially online.

I downloaded the program from the the link in the post above. There is a message that says that i should "before the installastion take away one file"

Is this something i have to do if i have downloade stoxpoker ev before only? As it is now this is the first time i will try stoxpoker ev and i used the link above to download it to my computer. Before I try to install it now I should take away that file or have I missed someting?

If it's the first time then it should work just fine.
That remark just applies to if it's already on your computer since the installer doesn't overwrite the StoxEV_E.exe file.

Any chance of adding the ability to program subroutines? I'd love to be able to find a profitable range for one player in a given situation and then use this new range to generate a range for the other player etc.

Ok i have seen the help vids but i have no idea what i did wrong

In case of an EV run:

Let's say the flop is K72 rainbow.
The program checks the first action ("Bet 3.12") and goes over it's condition(s).
None of the conditions match.
The program tries to go to the next action.
There is none.
The program gives an error that no action was found in a certain situation.

I have bigger plans .
But if they fail this would provide a reasonable solution.
Thanks!

i guess i did something wrong but the action for the button where it says i told it to raise 3.12 with a st8 or better yet it says i did not give an action at that point.

Because it has come across a hand where you don't have a straight or better and it doesn't know what to do now.
You still need to tell the program what to do with the other hands.

For instance:
If you only want to know the percentage of times you have >=straight then you don't need to enter an entire tree. Just enter what the program should do with all other hands (I've added "fold all other hands") and press F5:


If you want to know the EV then you do need a complete tree and press F7. I've made the button go all in with >=set here and fold all other hands:

ok i got it to work but it brings up a couple more questions for me

ty

ok in this example it says the ev is -0.07

this is the same sample but i just added 1 pair + a fd to the villans calling range yet the ev comes out exactly the same. How can this be as he is now paying me off more often.

In the situation with only tp that part of the tree is reached something like 0.22% of the time (3.12%*9.72%).
In the second part it's now reached 0.4% of the time.
Neiter situation will have a significant impact on the UTG+1's EV at the point of the call.

The EV of the scenarios where the UTG+1 folds 97.8% of his hands is 97.8*-0.08=-$0.078.
The scenario's you are looking at now have such a small impact on the total EV (because they occur so rarely) that they only gain you a few cents.

you're my hero.

Hi guys,

Although most of you probably already have the latest version, I hereby release if officially:
http://mediaserver2.stoxpoker.com:80.../stoxev112.msi

For proper installation:
- Dowload the file to disk before running it, otherwise it may crash.
- If you have installed a previous version, manually remove the StoxEv_E.exe file before installing because the installer doesn't overwrite existing files.

New features:

-Hand history imports:
Import hands from Full tilt, pokerstars, ipoker, party and prima by pressing F3 and copy pasting the hand history. After doing this, please check if everything is imported correctly. Pay particular attention to antes. They should be deducted from the stack and added to "extra money in pot" under game properties (Ctrl+F1). Also, report anything going wrong with people disconnecting or sitting out. Report any bugs to stoxpoker_ev@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance.

-Improvement in small fields for ICM
ICM model is now the mathematical solution if both the number of players and the number of prizes is at most 8 (otherwise it's too slow and an approximation is used).

-Notes feature
Press Alt+N to add a note to your file. The note will be shown in the upper left. In case of a hand history import the hand history will be copied to the note. It is also possible to add a note to a decision button or an action. Hover over it and click Alt+N. To read it, also hover over it and click Alt+N.

-New button in boardselection
New button in boardselection window on turn and river, "Select all remaining". Will save you a lot of clicking when creating layers.

Cheers,

Scylla

This program is so sick. Most useful poker software I've ever used by far (ok, maybe PT/PA but it's close). It's a bit worrying tho because if a bot could do this in real time, it would beat most online players.
