Not quite ready yet, but coming soon.

Hi,

I have a problem when I am trying to import hands from Poker Tracker 4 with hands coming from PartyPoker.fr

It's working great with Winamax and Pokerstars but I got this message when I am doing the exact same thing with Party :

"Error loading hands from SQL database, please check the Tracker Settings.

Reason :
The column name handhistory was not found in this ResultSet."

Hands are in my database and hands from my other accounts work well... Do you have any idea to fix this ?

Thanks

First, please make sure you use the latest version - Help: About: Installation Details should show a version number starting with 2.0.

If you still have troubles in the latest version then please send me a few example histories from PartyPoker.fr to support@holdemresources.net and I'll try to get them supported asap.

I have the last update. I'll send you some hand histories, thanks

Have a problem with this calculation:


16 pays, i write this inputs:


and get the field down to 18 players


however i get differentes results every time i run this sim, get really confusing.
Any help? Im making a mistake?

You have the "randomize" checkbox enabled during MTT stack generation - which means you will get slightly different stacks for other tables every time you generate them. Uncheck that if you want reproducible results.

Hello,

Can you be specific as to when 'FGS' should and should not be used...

FGS is a more accurate replacement for single-table ICM calculations. I'd recommend using FGS as the default for all single-table calculations, unless they are chipEV/HU/winner-takes-all.

Hello guys,

I have bought HRC recently to work out some chip EV preflop jam/rejam ranges on a full ring table.

What is the difference between a math engine and a Monte Carlo engine? Which one should I be using and why are the actions and EV outputs different?

E.g. I know that Math Engine is confined to 3 players,

so say if I want to find out the EV of a 10bb UTG jam range vs RFI, would I need to use the Monte Carlo?

The Math engine is limited to 3 active players, which typically isn't all that significant for full ring 10bb - the occurrence of 4+ way all-in is rather rare. The main difference in this scenario is that Monte Carlo mode takes card removal from folded ranges into account ("card bunching").

Generally speaking, if you run sufficiently large samples then Monte Carlo is more accurate b/c it considers all card removal effects. You need to be more careful when using it though, as EVs aren't automatically updated if you change ranges.

You can find detailed information here:
https://www.holdemresources.net/blog...nte-carlo-mode

I think it also depends what spot you are in. For example if you are UTG and you want to know your jamming ranges, then it probably makes little difference. If you are in the Hijack and you want to know with what range you can overcall, I'd say the fact the system thinks you can close the action with an overcall whereas in fact there are still 3 more players, probably makes a difference.

I still haven't downloaded the latest version of this, but I would be interested if someone who has could post how the ranges change (Engine versus Monte Carlo) for the first three players to all go all-in at 6-max chipEV everyone with 10BB. (I mean UTG jam, LJ call, HJ overcall in the same hand).

I suspect only the HJ range would be much different.

The 4-way all-ins are certainly not negligible, but full ring I think card bunching is probably more significant at 10bb.

But you can actually run Monte Carlo mode with max 3-active and max 6-active and get a direct comparison how much difference comes down to just increasing the player limit.

Okay, thanks. Can you be as specific as possible as to what depth to use for these 6 man tournament conditions:

Full table
4 handed
Bubble

This is very straightforward: The accuracy of FGS increases with calculation depth.

So, this is entirely up to your patience and hardware, just pick the highest settings that still keeps calculation times reasonably fast. Start with the auto depth and increase it until the calculation time gets too slow for your taste.

Hi, can someone explain to me what the number under each hand mean when running an ICM calculation.

For exemple :
AA
+5.1

Thanks

That depends on the equity model you selected, for ICM it's % of table equity by default. Move your mouse over the hand in the grid and it will show you an explanation as tooltip, including a $EV display.

Thanks.

I didnt pay attention to the tooltip, thats great. Yet I still dont understand what 'table equity' means, can you explain it to me?

Will we be able to see tournament adjusted BB in the "Outline" section instead of only BB at any time soon?

Also why doesn't ALT-E work anymore when trying to edit ranges from the tree? I hate clicking

Table equity is the the sum of tournament equity for all players at your table, at the beginning of the hand. For single table calculations the table equity is equal to the total remaining prizes/bounties.

Adjusted BB: Isn't that just M-facor times 1.5? The M-Factor is already displayed in the tooltip area so this seems a bit redundant. If more users want it then I'm happy to add it though.

Regarding ALT-E, that wasn't intentional and I'll fix it with the next update. You can just use ENTER in the meantime though.

thank you very much for the quick answers

Is there a new tutorial video? Can I get the link?

Okay. If I take your advice and use FGS for all STT calculations, I should always have 'Increase Blinds' ticked? And if I go to say Depth 3, then 'At Depth' needs to be at 3 also I take it?

No, the increase blinds option should only be used if a blind increase is about to happen very soon. Setting "at depth" to 1 means the blind increase will be effective with the next hand following the current one, etc.

This only really matters if there is a large blind increase within the next 1-2 hands, so that's going to be an exception.

Here is a short one with the latest update:

oh didn't know that, thanks.


Although with the ABB, right now I am using the toolpit on any stack then multiply it with 1.5 to get the details I need to now with the table dynamics I am using. Adding it, would really help me learning ICM more

it would be nice if we could turn on/off columns in the outline box, including BB/ABB then.

Thanks a tousand times
