Any information about Opponent Stats?
Gms: Number of games tracked for that player. By this you
know how representative the stats are.
Balance: The dollar amount that this player is up or down
for all hands tracked for the current session. It is very interesting
to observe how different playing styles (see Flop%, Shdn% etc) correlate
with winning or losing patterns. Also, the balance may represent
additional useful information regarding the player current mindset
(who is more likely to "play it safe", who is getting desperate,
who is about to "go on tilt" etc). Due to technical difficulty,
the balance value is not accurate for PokerRoom(and skins) and Paradise.
Flop%: The percentage of games where this player saw the
flop so far (over the entire number of games played). This is the
primary indication of where this player falls in the tight/loose
scale. Extremely useful when going up against someone at showdown.
Shdn%: The percentage of games where this player stayed in
all the way to showdown (over the entire number of games played).
Another extremely useful piece of information, especially when combined
with the Flop%. A small difference in the two, for example 70% flop-58%
showdown, indicates that this player is prone to calling a lot and
chasing long-shot possibilities (AKA "fish detection").
ShdnWon%: The percentage of showdowns that this player actually
won. High percentages show that the player know which hands are
worthy of a showdown and has a good feeling of weather his opponents
are bluffing or not (and vice versa).
Play money and real money data are tracked separately
. Balance data is collected only for the current session.
Flop%, Shdn% and ShdnWon% are collected historically.
Opponents Stats will be collected even you're sitting out. These
data is kept locally on your computer and will be loaded automatically
next time when you're sitting with the same player.
Why does not my Poker
Indicator automatically show opponent's mucked hands at showdown?
Currently, this feature is only available for PartyPoker,
EmpirePoker(and skins) and PokerStars(ring games).
Do poker rooms allow Poker Indicator?
YES. This program does not play for you, and therefore
does not violate the rules or policies of any online poker room.
Does Poker Indicator
monitor any personal information of mine? Does Poker Indicator send
any information over the Internet?
Poker Indicator does not send any information
about your or your opponent's hands over the internet. It does not
read anyone else's cards, and does not share information with your
opponents. Feel free to download any of the popular network tools
and monitor Poker Indicator if you feel you need to.
What kind of games
does Poker Indicator support?
Right now Poker Indicator supports limit and NL/PL
Texas Hold'em, including ring games and tournaments.
How can I get started?
Poker Indicator is very easy to use. You can launch
Poker Indicator before or after you sit in at a table. Then Poker
Indicator will automatically find and attach itself to the game
table that you're playing. We suggest you to try it on play money
table first. So you can get used to the functionalities that Poker
Indicator provides before using it on real money tables.
I already installed
Poker Indicator. How can I upgrade it?
You can just re-download it and install again.
And you don't need to unlock it again if you already unlocked it.
What does EV mean?
EV is the Expected Value for your hole cards.
Expected value is the average amount of big bets this hand will
make or lose. So for example, AA from the small blind in a 3/6 game
will make on average 2.71 times the big blind, or $16.20 per hand
(2.71 * $6). 22 from the button (D or Dealer position) however,
will make -0.12 EV, or -$0.72 in a 3/6 game (6 * -0.12). These data
were graciously taken from Poker Room's EV Page. Thus, these stats
are compiled from live table data instead of simulations.
Why is the EV different
when I have the same pocket cards?
EV is not only based on your pocket cards, but
also dealer button's positon, your seat position, and the number
of players in that hand. So it is possible that you will see different
EV values with the same pocket cards.
What does Group mean?
It's another way to describe your hole cards
strength. In the book of Hold'em Poker for Advanced Player by David
Sklansky, he divides the starting hands into 9 groups. Group 1 is
the strongest, group 9 is the weakest. By only playing poker hands
that have profitable EV, you will certainly improve your Texas Hold'em
game. Please remember however, that this is a compilation of EV
for the average player, so they are just representative of long
term statistics and not Texas Hold'em fact. You will still need
to play your poker hands accordingly, which means you need to observe
your opponents, play as the flop sees fit.
What the numbers above
the bar charts stand for?
They are the chances of hitting a particular hand
for you and your opponents at showdown. For example, if it shows
20% of flush for you and 30% for your opponents, it means finally
you have 20% possibilites to get a flush, while among your opponents
they altogether have 30% to get a flush.
What is Pot Odds?
Pot odds is simply a ratio of the amount of money
in the pot compared with how much money it takes to call. The higher
the ratio, the better your pot odds are. If there are $12 in the
pot and it costs $4 to call then you are getting 3:1 odds ( winnings
: "cost to stay in"). This can be translated to a percentage, representing
the size of your contribution in the new pot. It will be 25% in
the above example.
How have users experienced
the highest levels of success using Poker Indicator?
1) Trust odds that Poker Indicator provides you,
don't play by the luck of the draw.
2) Keep an eye on your opponents. Sometimes you might have to fold
even it shows you good odds. For example, if you have 60% winning
odds, then you still have about 40% possibility to lose. In this
case, if you can find that your opponents might have better hand
by seeing how they behaved, you should fold your hand.
