i just custom made those images...so technically it's not available anywhere, lol

i use HEM for my HUD though, and you can see my HUD in my videos

thnx for all the kind words so far guys =)

I was hoping you used HEM and there was some way to get your HUD to look like that. That would be pretty sweet. Oh well, I can always hope. I would think it wouldn't be hard for the HEM folks to add the ability to add a background image to your HUD panels.

Thanks you so much Split

I watched your 25nl vid and loved it so much i went out and got a hud. I've Lagged my way to 4BB/100 on my first 30k hands at nl25 while 9-12 tabling.

My question is during ur vids you said you often play 16 tables.

How in the hell are you interpreting all those stats while playing that many tables?

I've really only used the vpip and prfs when faced with tough preflop decisions such as what to do with jacks, and obviously identifying who i can most easily steal from.

I know you can change the panel's color and opacity...so you might be able to create something like it =)

glad you enjoyed it =) I only LAG playing 9 tables. I used to play 16 tables regularly, but used a simpler HUD then with about 6 stats. You get used to using more information all at once the more you practice. And I've been adding stats slowly but surely on my HUD so i get as much info as possible...just be gradual

Very helpful, thanks split!

A quick tip for configuring your HUD. Most people already do this, but many don't especially those using the default HUDs that come with PT3 or HEM. It makes for a much less cluttered screen (and therefore allowing you to fit more information on) if you take out the tags for every number, and just learn what each number is. I use a simple 9x9 grid, colour coded, and I find it really simple to use. Any other stats I may want are in the pop-up.

And get the "k" notation for numbers in the thousands, saves a ton of space too imo

Also, changing the font-size to whatever small thing is readable for you helps decluttering too.

And you can always make more groups instead of new lines (with PT3 at least). That way you can get fit more info while still being a little bit organised.

Ah, ok. I misunderstood what you meant by polarized. Thanks a bunch.

no problem guys.

Great post, I like Splits' analytical thinking.

The most interesting part to me is the RiverCallWin%. Why is this stat more useful than "fold to river CB" and "fold to river bet" stats?

I wonder what you consider as very low, average or high win%? My RiverCallWin% is 41%, I feel it is a little high. I guess very low % can be the 0-30% range?

I mean, as allways. perfect, looking for some more COTWs from you Split

I keep meaning to spend a couple of hours on my HUD and do this. I might try and do it before the week is out and post the results back in this thread.

I like the general aproach you're taken, Split, towards the HUD stats. Since I'm using Kraada's Advanced Cash HUD, I learned/needed to learn a lot about HUD stats and when (not) to start to trust the info displayed. This COTW gives me a different view which will help me using/analysing Kraada's HUD better.

I like this piece of info (the rest of the post too but this little nugget was hiding in plain sight). Using a proxy when your data-set hasn't converged yet can at least give you some info. Kraada's Hud displays an "X" when you dont yet have an adequate sample-size for that stat. And some "X"-s take a lot of hands/situations before they become numbers. Using a proxy/proxies helps.

But even NO information is some information!

Honestly, this needs repeating.

I love having as many situational stats as possible at my immediate disposal (either on HUD or thru pop-ups), but you're dead-on that these are the most influential in over-all hand planning.

Thanks for the additional info on HOW you interpret and use the data.

hey split nice work! you wrote:

"Say it folds to us OTB, we steal with T9s, and the BB 3B's us. If he is the 15/12/35/4, then he is doing so because he understands you are stealing, and is thus restealing. If the 15/12/16/4 3B's you, it is not as likely that he is restealing. He is 3B-ing because he feels his hand is strong enough to 3B you. So his range is going to be de-polarized, and the 15/12/35/4 is going be fairly polarized more often than not. This means you can approach them both differently in respect to your 4b/flat/fold game."


thats true but because its a restealing situation you have look at villains reastealing stats here not only at the stealing stats alone...
If someone is reatseling from the blinds more than 15% his restealing range is often light and you can profitably 4 bet almost your whole ATS range...
If someone is restealing 0% and now 3 bets you from the blinds you can easy fold all your crap...

Another imoprtant point imo nobody has mention so far is looking at villains actually sessionstats, how he is running on each table rather than his overall stats about Xk hands...
Say you look at one guy with 12/9/2 and 3 bet 2% over 3k hands...now he is playing today at one specific table somethings about 20/17/4 with 3 bet 7% over 80 hands...thats almost a different player.
Or another guy who is running 18/15/5 with 6% 3 bet about 4k hands but today at one specific table he is running 7/5/1 with 0% 3 bet about 60 hands...So he is running cold obv. at this table....but you wouldnt know that if you would look only at his overall HUD stats about 4k hands.

I'm not sure what benefit we get from knowing that an opponent is running card dead (or hot) over a 60 hand sample.....

Nice post. Will read again.

Thanks for sharing Split, i appreciate it!

thanks. I consider 30% or less to be very low in a decent sample, yes

thank you. not sure when I will do another...but probably at some point this year. i give away too much as is =)

of course. glad you enjoyed it

Very nice HUD and post!

But people who use PT3 could just download "Kraadas HUD" and don't go through all the work to configure their own HUD Just a tip.

Very helpful post.

Ty!

Great poast. Does anyone know where to get a better popup for PT3? The default one isn't very good as it doesn't display positional data, unlike the HEM one, but I swear I've seen PT3 users with something similar...

I made my own, think I had to download positional stats from the PokerTracker website to do it though. You could do that or as IFS said, Kraada from PT has made a HUD which is supposed to be really good, and I imagine you can download that from the PT website also.

It's not good.

It's god.

Think you can post a pic of it so us HEM users can copy it to the best of our abilities (as long as that's allowed)
