I know the stats aren't working fully just now, but I think the devs might be interested in cases where they work and do not.
On Stars, FPDB does not always identify continuation bets.
The behaviour occurs frequently, Hopefully the following isolated hand demostrates one case:
Firstly, this hand calculates the CB correctly:
Someone limps, there is a button raise, the BB calls and the limper folds, and the raiser continues on the flop
(note that the BB checking the flop does not get written to the hand history). FPDB credits the raiser with the continuation bet.

This time here is an example where the CB on the flop is not recognised.
Mid position opens for a raise, there is a cold call behind and the big blind calls also, the midposition raiser continues on the flop
(note that the HH shows the BB check this time)
This time FPDB correctly sets street1CBchance true, but (incorrectly) street1CBdone is false.

If "Ba: checks" is deleted, FPDB correctly sets street1CBdone to true.
Summary,
- Stars HH sometimes omits a flop check action.
- If Stars HH misses the check to raiser action, then fpdb correctly credits the CB.
- if stars HH writes the check to raiser action, FPDB does not credit the player with the CB.
I've not worked out the pattern for Stars to miss the check action.
