The Poker Tree of Profit

[Darvini]

I mentioned about this earlier and now I have thought it more and am more convinced about it. I would like to see a tree graph that can be customized. Ill explain one (maybe main) simplified use of it.

Lets say that the root node(2) is the flop and it has two child nodes 7 = cbet and 5 = check. The flop bet node(7) has two child nodes 2 = cbet win and 6 = got called. Now the leaf node(2) gets the value of combined profit for all those hands that reached it i.e. flop cbet wins. The number of the hands would determine the thickness of the arrow to the leaf(2). The leaf is colored in different shade of red or green according to how much is won or lost. The value of the leaf is then transferred to the parent which is added to the other child nodes of the parent (in this case from leafs 5 an 11 through node 6). This sum determines how green or red the node(7) is colored and so on all the way to the root.

What we have is a tree with different colored leafs and different colored branches and just like a tree we want to drop those red leafs (stop playing losing endlines) and grow those green leafs bigger and greener. If a branch is red too, we want to saw it (a whole losing line) off completely. This tree graph would make complex betting patterns easier to understand with a single visual image. Player would get instant understanding he often he makes certain moves, how profitable they are and how often he gets certain responses by the thickness of the arrows.

That's really interesting. I have no idea how difficult it would be to accomplish but I admit, I'd love to see how that looks for some players, so I'll see what I can do about it.
