Thank you very much. I got all the info you pointed out. Cheers

Sorry for asking maybe newbie questions, but I want to use the software the best way possible.
Instead of loading hand by hand, I thought I could export and import more hands at once, but then I can only filter for "errors" in Diff EV for ICM I think, because I have to enter the payouts to be able to press ok.
Is it possible to import the history and analyze to chip EV ?

Again, Thanks in advance

Sure, simply enter 100% for 1st place, the ranges are equivalent to chipEV in that case.

Hi,
Since ACR update i'm not able to copy paste HH from HoldemManager to HRC.
Any help would be appreciated.

Error message- No valid Hand-history found.

Please try with the beta version, this should be fixed with the latest update:
https://www.holdemresources.net/blog...c-public-beta/

Let me know if you still have troubles with the beta.

We'll update the HH parsers in the release version within 1-2 weeks.

Hello, I would like to know if there is any more practical way to change stack sizes without having to enter all the ranges again and load the hand each time. This is really a lot of work, since if I want to see the differences between call ranges with different stacks I have to load all the ranges once more just to modify a one variable
Thanks

In the current version, the only way to change stacks is to create a new calculation. This typically only requires a few clicks though, as the settings should be preserved from the previously calculated hand.

Regarding manually set ranges, if you change stacks you would likely need to re-adjust them anyway? Assuming static ranges when changing stacks seems like a fairly rare use case.

Anyway, we'll probably add options to modify the game tree after the initial calculation in one of the next updates, the opportunity to change stacks might be included there.

I am trying to load hands from Winning Poker Network thru PT4. I copy the hand to clip board and when I click paste from clipboard on either basic or advanced hand, I get an error saying no valid hand history found.

WPN recently did a new update, is this a known error with the new update? or is this a problem on my end.

Yes, this is already supported in the beta version:
https://www.holdemresources.net/blog...c-public-beta/

1) Are there any plans for providing some scripting functionality?
E.g. I wanna solve huge amount of similar spots with just different stack sizes or even just different antes. It would be extremely useful to set the program up for a night without waiting and editing every single hand through the day.

2) I'm trying to stick with the beta version, cause it seems to be more up-to-date. But there is one thing that annoys me: when I change the grid to Show Strategy/Show EV and vice versa the beta version does not remember the state. It works just fine in the stable version.

3) I understand we can't account for exploitability in Monte-Carlo mode but is there some way to estimate number of simulations we need when solving some spot? I just don't know when I'd want default 10m sims, or another 100m sims, 300m etc. Playing around with every single spot wastes a lot of time. Maybe you could provide some rough estimate for this matter.

Thanks in advance.

1) We'll probably extend the current "Quick Analyze" feature a bit, that way you could script calculations by generating the appropriate hand histories. I don't think there's enough interest for full-on scripting support, so that's a rather complex feature that would likely see very limited use in practice.

2) I'll look into this, you can expect a fix within the next week or so.

3) As a rough guideline, run sampling until the (important) ranges are close to best responses (ie all +EV hands played and all -EV hands folded). The actual samples required will vary wildly by spot (infrequently played lines require larger overall samples). Note that you don't need to fully converge all ranges, just the main ranges plus the ones you are interested in. When lines occur infrequently, they don't affect other ranges much and using a rough estimate for these ranges is completely fine. (If you are interested in some specific line then run full samples until the main ranges look fine, and then run subtree sampling for the specific part of the game tree only - this is up to 10-15 times faster.)

I'll check if we can also add some automatic guideline regarding sample sizes.

I have checked for updates in HRC and there are none, but I am still unable to load WPN hand histories. Do I need to delete the existing file and re-download HRC on my PC?

Please try downloading the beta from here:
https://www.holdemresources.net/blog...c-public-beta/

You can simply extract into a different directory, keep your old installation intact in the meantime.

Let me know if it still doesn't work in the beta and please send me a HH example to support@holdemresources.net in that case. The WPN HH examples we have for testing are all supported correctly.

I have completed the extraction and now the new version wants my license key. I no longer have that. I emailed support @holdemreserouces.net in July about this but never rec'd a response. Can you help me locate my key?

I've emailed you the key. (For what it's worth, I can't find any previous messages to support for your email address regarding the WPN issue. Maybe there was some problem when sending your mail in July.)

Hi new user to HRC,

Q1 Trying to work and learn about the software, best tutorials/videos to use please

Q2 Does the beta or can u update software software to work with MPN(microgaming) network please

Thanks in advance
Term

Hey, apologies for the late reply.

Q1) The main documentation can be found in the program at Help: Help Contents. There are currently no "official" tutorial videos, but we'll do a tutorial video series once the current beta is ready for stable release, which is expected within a month or so. In the meantime you can find plenty of free third party videos about HRC e.g. on youtube, twitch or pokerstrategy.

Q2) Last time i checked MPN wasn't saving any traditional hand history files but some sort of binary .dat database. If they offer regular histories now then we're happy to implement support for that.

1 Thanks

2 - Versions of HEM and PT4 can read the files from .dat, and are fine for tournaments be great if could use it with HRC but they are also working with both also vendors atm

MPN - We've reached out to the makers of PT and HEM to see if they have a specific hand history format that would work best - we can address both the tournament summary issue and the .DAT file issue at the same time then.

Term

Glad to hear they are finally implementing a regular HH format. Please simply send me a few hand history examples to support@holdemresources.net once it's added, we can then implement support for it in a matter of days.

Hi plexiq,

I play a lot of the $5 90 man PKO's on stars.

I have a few questions I hope you can help me out with.

Here is the same hand in two different instances of HRC.

https://gyazo.com/7bcd23f47ac8886b2d82b72c728dd8e4

The top one, is setup using the actual $ amounts of the prizes.

https://gyazo.com/deef8d2dc89e7765aae06138aac40f8c

The bottom one is setup using the % payouts, taken from the drop down menu under MTT (90 man)

https://gyazo.com/be570146c3d09eecc0958e0d5d7196d5

You can see there is some differences in the ranges based on which one I use. Why exactly is that, and should I be using the $ amount in prizes instead of the % payouts?

My other question has to do with some numbers when you hover over the hand # at the top in HRC.

https://gyazo.com/a8ef9216a98373a2c28809bd6dba8e83

The left one is from the actual $ amount in prizes, the one on the right is in % payouts.

What does the bounty 5.5% and 11.3% represent?

And what does the 129.33% and 170.39% Regular Prize Pool mean?

Hello,

for PKO tournaments it is important to enter regular prizes and bounties in a consistent manner. If you enter the prizes as % then you also need to convert the bounties to % of regular prizes. For PKO hands it's generally easier to simply enter prizes and bounties in $, especially if you use PKO hand histories where the bounties are automatically pasted.

What happened in the screenshots above is that you probably entered the bounties in $ both times, but the prizes in $ / % (or vice versa). So one calculation used % for prizes and $ for bounties and the bounties will not be in the right relation to the regular prizes in that case.

The 5.5% and 11.3% are the values of the average bounty compared to the regular prize pool. (e.g. If the total regular prizes are 100$ in the first case then the average bounty was set to 5.5$. If you setup the calculation consistently in either $ or % then the value here will come out the same regardless, so seeing two different values here means that you probably mixed $/% in one of the cases.)

Regarding the 129% vs 170%: By default HRC displays EVs as % of the total tournament equity on your active table. The statistic you mentioned shows how this table equity compares to the total regular prize pool. In the first case, the total equity of players on your active table is 129% of the total regular prizes. (Keep in mind that 100% would be all regular prizes excluding bounties, so seeing values >100% is completely fine for KO/PKO hands because there is additional equity from the bounties.)

In any case, I'd recommend you give the beta version a try, check the download section on our site. We simplified this functionality considerably and also added a straight $-EV display when you hover over hands in the grid, this will hopefully make things more clear.

Good afternoon, I have a question regarding the unit of measure when calculating shoves or calls involving icm. For example, when it shows 0.01, is it 0.01 of the remaining prizepool? I would like to calculate the absolute dollars amount and I don't know how 0.01 translates into that. Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.

For single table calculations, 0.01 would default to 0.01% of remaining prizes, thats both regular and bounties. (You can change the display to % of total regular prizes at Window: Preferences: Equity Display.)

For MTT calculations it's a bit more complicated, as explained in my last post.

But if you prefer to have $ amounts displayed directly then simply try the beta, when you hover over the hand grid it will display the $ EV directly:
https://www.holdemresources.net/blog...c-public-beta/

Hy ! whats the minimum EV u want to take when push and call allins? on both mtt with bounty and freezout ?

Everything with positive EV would be the general advice, unless you have spot specific reasons to deviate from that.
