Equity stats

Postby Coffeetime » Mon Apr 30, 2012 2:32 pm

This idea may be a bit woolly, un-doable, or already included and I simply haven't found it yet, but I'm going to put it out there anyway...

At the end of a hand the positional popups come up. The ones that show what cards the players in the hand had, and along with the cards, percentages for each street. For example, PF: 20% F: 45%, T: 90%. I'm assuming those percentages are equity percentages based on what the player had as the hand progressed (although I would be very interested to know what else, if anything, goes into calculating those percentages - is PT4 very clever and taking into account what it knows about each player and their playstyles too, for example?)

Anyway, if I'm right and those numbers are equity % / street, it would be very useful to have this % available, even just for the hero, as a HUD stat. Is that possible? And if so, is it allowed? And if so... has it been done already as a stat I've not found in PT4, or as a custom stat someone's created?

Apologies if this one's old fodder, but I'm curious about extra ways to represent equity while playing. It would really help newer players like me imo.

Those are equities, however they are based on only the exact hole cards shown - PT4 does not know anything intrinsically about a player's style and is not capable of predicting what kinds of hole cards a player may have in a given situation. Even if we could, we don't know anything about a hand in play until it is over and written as a hand history. And even if we did, doing all of those things would almost certainly constitute too much assistance from our program and the poker sites would almost certainly not approve - and we would never do anything that the poker sites would not approve of.
