I was wondering if we could get a more meaningful fold to 3 bet statistic? To give an example of how it currently works, if an under the gun player raises and UTG+1 then reraises, everyone after them who folds is counted as "folding to a 3 bet". That's not useful, since it massively inflates the stat for everyone at the table (and is standard play for all but superpremium hands). What I care about is when someone first RAISES and THEN folds to the 3 bet. That's an important stat, and one that has many implications (blind defense, for example).

You can build this yourself quite easily. See this thread for details.

Easily, if I understood the program better . I downloaded the little zip file you included in that thread, but I'm not sure where to put it in the PokerTracker folder. Mind pointing me in the right direction?

Have a look at the Custom Stats guide, and the Custom Statistics and Reports FAQ.

Thanks, Rider, but I still don't know where to put the little zip file. When I try to open it with Notepad or Word, it looks like this:

...and leaves me wondering what to do.

Unzip the zip file, and click Configure --> Configure Statistics, go to the Stats tab, click the Import button and select the .pt3stat file. Click Import and PT3 will import the statistic into PT3.

Sorry, I meant to tell you to extract it from the zip file first - I must have got distracted..

Ah, that's how it works! I found a new stat after doing what you suggested, "Fold to PF 3 bet when raised" that is described as "Fold to Preflop 3Bet Percentage When Hero Open Raised And It Wasn't A Steal". That is very close to what I was looking for, and I've added it to my HUD and reports. Combined with "Fold Steal to Blind Reraise", I'm good to go. Many thanks.

You're welcome; enjoy!

Really enjoying/benefiting from the stat, guys. Thanks! I was wondering if you have an equivalent file I could import for tournament play?
