Hi,

How does pockertracker define a probe bet? Is it when someone is not the PFR and does not donk?

Thanks in advance

A probe bet is a bet out of position after the player who could have made a continuation bet on the prior street did not make that continuation bet.

So for example:

Player X raises preflop on the button, Player Y calls in the BB. Y checks, X checks. Y bets the turn. That's a probe bet because on the street before (the flop) X could have continuation bet (by virtue of the PFR) but did not do so.

Is there an equivalent to this when positions are reversed? For example, preflop UTG raises, BTN calls. UTG checks flop, BTN bets.

That's a Flop Float bet.

Flop float bet. Got it.

Is there a existing stat for the same scenario I described EXCEPT, btn checks flop, UTG checks turn and then BTN bets? Or by that time has the preflop raiser given up initiative and so that is just a regular turn bet?

That's just a regular bet on the turn, although you could build a custom stat for it if you're interested in identifying that specific situation?

ok, but
What about something like float out of position [oop] ?

If x cbet , Y check/call and on turn Y bet --- is it float oop or donk ?

When floating oop happens ?

If the action went like this:

Preflop X raised from the button, Y called from a blind. Y checked the flop and X cbet. Y called the cbet. Y bet the turn.

That is a Turn Donk from Y.

You cannot make a float bet out of position, only a donk or a probe.

What about Y and X both ch turn and Y bets river? What's that called? Is that a river probe?

I would just point out that this is generally referred to as a delayed cbet.
