If you don't have this feature, if the "hit the flop feature" included the option of checking a box that said "hit middle pair" rather than just hit any pair, it might be good. I say this since I think a lot of players will call the flop with middle pair but fold it on the turn.
Re. hits the flop strong vs. hits weak, a little of this is there, but not nearly as fully as you suggest. For example flopping a gutshot straight draw is hitting it weak, and this is one of the flop stats, so you could turn this stat 'on' in TotalHit. Your suggestion is basically to give more detail than just OnePair and add stats like MiddlePair, BottomPair, TopPair, and I think this is a great suggestion.
In addition, obviously position and villain's playing style are huge. That is villain is much more likely to call your flop bet with a weak hit like BottomPair (or air) if he's in position. But yeah as you say putting all this together is useful and the additional stats you suggest would help.
I'll put it on the list; won't promise a time frame because I'm working on something else right now, but I like this suggestion. Also we should keep in mind that the first purpose of this app is to be a "Mac native PokerStove app", and even for just this it exceeds with e.g. heat maps and hand combos stats. Deal-To-Flop is another useful addition, which I'll improve if I can fit it in, but it's more like an additional feature, not the first and foremost goal of the app. Maybe the app is trying to be too much rather than focused like some other tools?!
Thanks for getting the app and for this suggestion and discussion.
