thank you!

Hi,

Is there a quick and effective way to input the payout structure for larger mtts fields(200+ payouts) or do I have to enter each 1 by 1 which is a bit frustrating and time consuming.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

Check the latest beta version, you only need to enter payout changes there - even for large fields you typically don't have more than ~20 payout steps.

e.g. if you enter 1st: 50$, 5th: 20$, then places 2-4 are also assumed to be 50$. That's for the beta only. Don't forget to save the structure if you want to re-use it.

For PokerStars we are also about to add support for importing payout structures from the tourney summary files.

Hi,
I face the issue with updating the software to the new version, here is the content of error details window:

Could you assist on how to deal with it.

Try to re-install from scratch please, let me know if you still have troubles.

Nice update, I like the new advanced hand tab, I've played around with it for like 10 minutes and it seems much easier to use. However it seems like you've forgotten to add players specific bounties or perhaps I missed it.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the HRC advanced hand option.
When i select the action and want to run it. It doesn't calculate anything.
I thought first i need select the ranges by myself because in the advanced option it's always a 0% range when i click on for example ''MP2 raises to 400''. When i do that and i click on the next action (Select action) For example Hijack called. It gives the follow notification:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
java.lang.NullPointerException


If you look in the youtube video from minute 8.10 till 10.10 you see his hand will run while he is clicking on finish.

I just bought the software today and i'm using a macbook air.
Not sure if this is a ''Mac problem'' because of Java or something or that i don't understand the software. But i'm pretty sure i fill in everything right and it seems also weird to me that i need to fill in the own range while this program is meant to be to show ME the right numbers right?
Anyway i hope someone knows what the problem can be and can help me


Thanks,

Joël

Try skipping the last page of the Advanced Hand dialog, if you don't want to manually set ranges. For OSX I'd strongly recommend the beta version linked above, it fixes a number of compatibility issues on Mac.

Hi,

Thanks it calculate now..
So if you use the last page you need to put your own ranges % in.
Otherwise you need to skip it and it will calculate..
I use the beta and don't have java issues anymore
Nice thanks!!!

Yes, using the last dialog page you can force a specific action sequence with manually selected ranges. This is sometimes useful to speed up complex calculations, but most of the time you can simply skip it.

Hey, any news on this? Pretty excited about this feature.

Monte Carlo mode is still the top development priority. Hard to say when it will be quite ready for testing because it's a fairly complex feature to add. But soon

There is some way to see the risk premium to each player?

It's of course taken into account by the calculations, but there is currently no explicit display of risk premiums. This has recently been asked for a few times and I'll see what i can do about adding an explicit risk premium display to the beta in the near future.

ty, will help a lot.

Hi,

One good feature will be banned hands,

Choose some hands that cannot be in range and solve equilibrium.

For exemple you open 30bb oponent shoves, you think he will never shove QQ KK AA, you ban these hands, and recalculate equilibrium.
I would like see the plots too with banned hands.

hello, a doubt, how does HRC interpret the minimum ITM, how can the program know if it is double the buyin, triple the buyin ... etc? if the program does not know how many players played the tournament in total, nor how much was the tournament buyin, how to understand how the program understands it? since I imagine that in situations of bubble of rewards, it will affect differently if the itm is x1 buyin or x5 buyin, many thanks in advance

in the same way for calculations of icm, I guess that calculates the stacks vs prizes, but also does not know how many players played or how many chips had to start each, could you explain a little better please? many thanks

It's not relevant for strategies how large your initial buy-in was, that is considered sunk cost. You only need to know the prize payouts and bounties.

I do not understand one thing, I think my rank should change if the minimum prize is 6 buyins of the tournament, or only 2 buyins of the tournament, how do I explain this to the program, without saying it is a satellite? cthanks

A lot of people think this, but it shouldn't.

It makes no difference if you paid $1000 to enter the tournament, or you got in for free as a regular casino patron, or if you satellited in, or if you found the money in the street and used it to enter the tournament.

The aim is to maximise the money you get back from this point forward.

The opposite view is called the "sunk cost fallacy" - it's worth reading up on as it applies to many situations - in real life too, not just poker..

Short version: As explained above, the calculations are concerned with maximizing your $EV and in this context it does not matter how much you paid for your entry. Your entry fee is gone and no longer of concern, during the game you are simply trying to maximize your return. This is what the current program version does, and for that case it does not need to know your entry fee.

There's a little caveat about bankroll management here. Traditionally, bankroll management in tournament poker is handled on a "between games" level. Players are expected to pick stakes that they are sufficiently bankrolled for and once they enter the game they simply maximize $EV within these games. Under this traditional assumption, calculations are not bankroll aware and will essentially just tell you what the highest $EV move is.

This is a reasonable approach for STTs, because the outcome of any single game should not have significant implications for your bankroll. Simply maximizing $EV will also approximately maximize your bankroll growth in this case.

This assumption probably breaks for most players in large field MTTs, few people are bankrolled in a way where binking a large field MTT won't significantly affect their bankroll. In this context it may very well make sense to implement bankroll-aware calculations, because maximizing bankroll growth on the final table of a huge tournament may result in quite different strategies than maximizing $EV.

If we were to add e.g. a calculation mode based on the Kelly Criterion, then we'd indeed need your bankroll size as input for that. (Technically the size of your buy-in would still not be a relevant factor, but in practice bankroll size and played buy-ins are closely correlated.)

What's the shortcut to open a new Basic Hand window? It says "Ctrl+W,P" and I can't figure out what I should actually be pressing on the keyboard.

Thanks.

First press "Ctrl+W", release, press "P".

Not a fan of that btw, I'll have a look at the shortcuts and simplify them at some point.

The current shortcuts are leftovers from a long time ago for (Ctrl+W) Wizard -> (P) Push/Fold (renamed to Basic Hand), or (Ctrl+W) Wizard -> (R) Raise/Fold (renamed to Advanced Hand now).

Thank you very much for your response, then I understand that if it is important to put the size of the stack at the time of the hand in question, and not put the size of the stack in big blinds as I usually do, since I imagine that the premise Are they related to the sizes of the batteries, or does it calculate exactly the same? Thanks again, regards
