I'm having issues with NoteCaddy trying to process all the hands that I have. In total I have like 12 million hands in HEM. Trying to process them all it's going to take a long time so I set the filter to just do the last month and that's about 1.2 million and even only those NoteCaddy stays stuck in "Getting amount of uncompressed hands" for 5+ hours.

I have a bunch, almost all of the definitions active, is that why takes so long or hangs? Should I be using just a few of those.

Also, I have a very powerful computer with 4.0Ghz processor and 8GB of ram so that shouldn't be the issue.

Any ideas?

Does it hang when you turn off filtering? Filtering makes it way more complex to load the hands than unfiltered. Nonetheless it should work. Send me a pm letting me know if it at least starts unfiltered and we can go from there. I don't want to clutter the thread too much

Tried PM you but I dont have access to PM's, maybe since I just created an account here.

It once worked using filters but with less hands since I used the filter to use only the last week of hands. Trying to do it for all hands now but it just hangs in there, don't know if it is actually processing anything.

Here's what it is repeating in the log file:

4:52:11 PM No hand available so sleeping
4:52:11 PM pending hands not in memory. checking database
4:52:11 PM no new hands found

Can you email your full log to support@notecaddy.com

I may need to ask 1-2 more questions and emails are always nice and easy

Just as an fyi...I downloaded the new version and it erased my database password.

Also, a couple of questions. I believe opportunities is the number of times that an opponent has an opportunity to take a certain action? However, is there a way to have the notes track when a player takes a certain action with a certain type of hand. For example if you want to track how often the villain raises a flop cbet with a drawing hand or nothing. So your "oppoturnity" would be how often they raise the flop cbet and the action would be raising with nothing or a draw? Hope that is clear. Basically I want to see how often when they raise are they bluffing or semi bluffing.

One other question. The program will say it is finished, but the little note boxes keep popping up at the bottom of the screen. Is it really done or is it still recording?

SCV I've been away for about a week and just came back to find this error at startup:

Error validating application: [C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Xml\2.0.0.0__b 77a5c561934e089\System.Xml.dll] Bad method token.

NC worked fine the last day I played before leaving and my computer's been off since then... any ideas?

Just to clarify. The upgrade to .NET 4.0 wiped out your NoteCaddy settings. Your actual database wasn't affected so no data was lost. Sorry about that though. Really didn't expect it to happen.

Yeah I see what you're saying and I think it's a reasonable request. Something like that won't happen before 1.07 though because it is complicated and there is a risk of me getting 6536365 emails from pissed off people if I release another buggy version. So short answer is yes I will make it possible but please be patient

It's done. Those boxes are set to a 2 second delay by default and NoteCaddy is likely way faster than that. So there's this long line of popups waiting. I recommend that you turn those off while taking notes on your whole db.

That is a very weird error. I recommend making sure you have .net 4.0 framework installed. If you do, I recommend reinstalling NoteCaddy. If that doesn't help, please email me at support@notecaddy.com

Great program, a few questions:

1. Is it possible to script for post flop situations in which villain BOTH has a hand below a certain strength AND NOT a strong draw. Basically I want to isolate situations where villain has pure air, no made hand, no flush draw and no straight draw...

2. Is it possible to script for post flop situations in which villain EITHER has a hand below a certain strength OR he later folds at some point? The point being that if villain folds then I'm happy to infer that his hand was below that certain strength.

3. If we start NodeCaddy more than once will we end up with duplicate notes?

Thanks

Thank you

1. When you say strength, are you referring to using general strength? I don't recommend using that anymore because it is very slow compared to using the check boxes. I recommend picking the boxes that you consider to be air (there is a box on the very top where it says 'nothing') and then maybe some weak pairs or whatever. Just make sure all draw boxes are unchecked.

2. In this case you'd want two definitions with the same description (what they print in the box). NoteCaddy isn't that strong on "or" situations but creating two definitions would do the trick.

3. No. NoteCaddy starts from where it left off the last time. If it finished your whole db, then it will not process any hands if you start it again unless you've added new hands or have performed a "reset notes" operation in which case all your NC notes will have been removed anyways

Does this actually solve the problem for unmade hands? Surely its not true that if a box is unchecked then all hands that dont match that criterion will be excluded? It is only true that hands that do match are included.

My problem is that for air hands I want to isolate hands that BOTH MATCH the criterion "not a made hand" AND DONT MATCH the criterion "draw". For instance, I want a hand of 2h, 4h on a board of 7h, Th, Kd not to count as air, but obv 2s, 4s on the same board to count as air.

Im assuming the "Nothing" just means not a made hand but doesnt say anything about draw strength.

If you have some boxes unchecked, then any hand that matches it would cause the note not to get taken

Your assumption is incorrect

2h 4h on a 7h Th Kd board would not be considered "nothing". It would evaluate as "low flush draw". On the bottom right of all the range forms there is a test box where you can enter hole cards/board cards and it will tell you what they evaluate to. Don't include commas though - put them in the format that I did

As it stands, NoteCaddy will evaluate hands the way you are trying to

SretiCentV great piece of software, i'm using it for 1 month now , and it's working perfectly.
Really helpful, now i can multitable so easy, knowing that i must write something like 20% on notes by myself, for the rest i just rely on NC and those awsome definitions.

Thank you !

This is now added

Thank you

The new version is much better now and I have reached a point where I am really happy with NoteCaddy

Version 1.06
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Added the Quick Notes window which allows you to rapidly add notes from a selection of your definitions without resetting all of your notes. This feature had been requested by a large amount of people so please check it out.
-Added a new variable $cardrange. This variable can be used as a replacement for $cards. What it does is attempts to put all similar notes on the same line. Now you can have a note like [PF]3 bets {AA,72s}(2) whereas if you use the $cards variable, it would take 2 lines for the same note.
-Added the ability to manually enter a range of players dealt in to a hand. This is best used to specify sit and go bubbles.
-Added the option to define "opportunities" for post flop actions based on the player's holding to be incorrect rather than their action. Up until now, a missed post flop note was logged as an opportunity if everything was correct except the player's action. With this new option, it would be logged as an opportunity if everything was correct except for their holding.
-Added a check box to pre flop->general to specify that a hand was folded to a player. With this you can specify a note for a hand that had no limpers pre flop
-Added the ability to force hands from any site to display in the PokerStars format in the "seek" window. This was done to make hands from certain rooms (iPoker, Merge, etc) to be easier to review.
-Added the ability to specify that all actions that a player committed per street must have been checked off. This is to prevent false positives when looking for things like continuation bets when the player actually raise/called pre flop rather than just raising.
-Seek function now finds hands consistent with the filters you specify (stakes, time span, etc)
-Added variables $flopboard, $turnboard, $riverboard so that the board cards can be inserted into your note
-Added the ability to filter bet sizes on the flop, turn, river by their percentage of the pot. You can now take very precise bet sizing notes.
-Fixed an issue that was causing players to get cached where it wasn't necessary

I need some help here....i think I am missing something. For example if I want to see how often my opponent open limps with a strong hand. I want the denominator to be how many times he open limps. I defined this general, take notes and force opportunities both boxes checked...for preflop....have position utg,mp, co and button checked, as well as all stack sizes (i play limit)....for action I have open limp checked and hand strength TT+, Ajs+.

However for some reason it is showing opportunities for players that never open limp.

Also, thank you for adding all of the features to the program

For pre flop, it will only work for range. If it goes by actions, as you're requesting, you will end up with potentially massive numbers. When I was testing, I kept getting things like 2/73 etc. I can consider putting it back though but I am concerned people won't get it and will end up with bad notes

Not sure what is wrong with 2/73.....if it is for open limping strong for example, it would tell me, that they are not strong when they open limp....also you could make the numbers smaller by saying show only wtsd.......

Not sure what you mean by range.

yeah you're probably right. I am going to put out a mini release this weekend so you can expect that extra flexibility in there. Sometimes things look different in retrospect than they do when you're writing code

It is possible to add new variables $flopactionrange, $turnactionrange, $riveractionrange which will count number of action on street with specific types of hands: check, check-behind, call, bet, raise, bet-call, check-raise, bet-3bet etc?
Something like $cardrange variable

Just bought this piece of software and i already like it yet i didnt test it, but i see its adding notes, finally i have some reads in text

haha I knew this request was coming. Thing is the way that $cardrange is implemented would make it extremely difficult to have another enumeration working at the same time. I can definitely add this to the list but it may be a few months till I get to it. I am doing one more relatively small update this weekend then my priority is going to switch to redoing my website which looks very amateurish. Hope that's ok

Thank you for your purchase. If you have any questions, you can email support@notecaddy.com or post to the assaultware forums to get priority support

Hi, i just play some SNGs and it looks like is not taking notes for it. For cash games it works fine, but for SNGs is not taking any hands, is it not available for SNGs or i set something wrong?

There's a few things that could be happening.

Your filters (file-filters) could be excluding tournament hands

Your definitions could also be excluding them somehow (look in the general tab)

Edit: also while you're playing make sure you have nc open and click the start button
If this doesn't help please send and email to support@notecaddy.com and we'll set up a skype chat so we can look at it together

In program i choose to not use filters. And i have check my definitions and they all have checked tournaments, so i really dont know why is not adding them, maybe because i use add grouping by game size?

Please email me your hours of availability to chat so we can investigate this together

thanks email sent
