PokerTracker

Unless I'm ready things incorrectly here I see that most of the big blind or big bet stats are incorrect.

PT3 v3.00 build 4.

Looking at both NL ring and tournament games for Full Tilt (session is reporting 0.25NL game - blinds are .10/.25).

Under session stats, the BB/100, BB/Hour are all reporting HALF the value they should be.

The BB Won stat in a single hand is also incorrect. It is half what it should be. Same goes for the BB Won stat for each hand of a tournament. It seems to be able to figure out the blind for the relevant level of the hand but again the stat is HALF what it should be.

My guess is that this is a leak over from limit game stats where if the blinds are $1/$2 the BB (or big bet) is actually $4. However this is NOT the case in NL obviously.

It is a holdover from Big Bets from limit, but that's the way PokerTracker has reported winnings for several years now and it was deemed a better idea to keep the holdover into PT3 than confuse people who had been talking about 3ptbb/100 winrates for years now having to talk about 6bb/100 winrates.

There will eventually be a setting you can use to change it to actual big blinds not big bets, but that feature hasn't been added at this time.

I think this should have been corrected a long while ago and not propagated to PT3. In any event I understand trying to keep the confusion down for PT2 users. Problem is, this is just as confusing to new users!!!

I will likely just add my own stats that fix this problem. Is there a field in the DB that can be used to determine a limit game vs. NL game? That way I can use the current stat for LIMIT games and a recalculated one for NL.

You'd use the lookup_from_id() in a statistic in the Holdem Cash Player Statistics area.

See the Limit stat in the Holdem Cash Session or Holdem Cash Sessions tab for an example of how to use this to check the limit of a hand.

Does this NOT return things like "$0.25 NL" etc? I'm looking for something that would tell me whether its a limit vs no limit game. If this is the only way then I guess one could parse that out from the returned info.

That's what I was thinking you'd do at first, but I just realized that's awfully silly

holdem_limit.flg_nlpl is true for nl and pl games and false for limit games. I don't know about CAP NL games, but I'd expect it'd be true for them as well.

I would assume that would do it then. Thanks for the info.
