It could be really helpful if we could filter or modify(remove hands) hand ranges from the heat map view.
When i do analysis on my range, i want to see which part have EQ% over 50% so i flip over the Heat map, than if i want to remove hands i got to flip back on the hand matrix and when i remove hands i got to calculate again.
If we could remove hands directly from the heat map it would be a very nice add on.
(Moving the above quoted post here into this app's Mac thread from this app's iOS thread.)
Thanks for compliments on the app. It's going to get even better. I'm just about done with a big new feature, a better/more flexible hand range weighting mechanism, should go live within a couple of weeks.
Your suggested feature, filter a hand range based on cells' Equity's, sounds pretty reasonable and I'm adding it to my to-do. But I do have some reservations on it (below) so will give it some background thinking time first.
The first reservation is just UI and is prob. solvable. Currently the hand range section consists of 3 views: RangeEditor, HeatMap, DistributionGraph. You can only edit the range in the RangeEditor, and I like this strict separation of function between these 3 views. If we allow editing of the range on a cell by cell basis in the other two views e.g. HeatMap that complicates/confuses the organization of these 3 views. And every time an edit/change is made to the range, no matter from where, that invalidates the entire calculation results, o.w. you'd be looking at an inconsistent overall picture. Maybe we can put the new "filter on Equity" button/feature in the RangeEditor view to avoid this, and have it operate on all the cells of the range at once.
My second reservation is the general high-level usage of this suggested feature. The Mac-Expert version currently has a filter range feature (
section in tutorial), the "Filter" button in the RangeEditor, but it filters the range based on hand types (that you select/turn-on in the Stats view using the stats' checkbox buttons).
E.g. if you think villain is continuing with any made hand TopPair or better or any flush draw or any open ender, then you can select/turn-on these stats and only these stats and filter on them. I think this is a better way to filter/narrow-down a range than filtering on cells' Equity because many times the hands that villain (or you) will be continuing with will have pretty low equity, e.g. a flush draw or an open ender. Sometimes we'll want to include gutshots in the continue range, which have even lower equity, as they're sometimes good hands to float a flop bet with esp. in position and if we're deep stacked. A filter operation that's based just on Equity won't be able to make the distinction between "a good draw with low equity" and "basically no-hand with the same low equity".
So long story short, I also felt that a filter range operation would be great to have in this program, but went in favor of filter on hand types instead (or at least first). But I'll think about your suggestion filter on Equity in the background (but won't guarantee it yet).
Thanks for writing in and suggesting.
