In HM2 there's supposed to be (I don't know certainly, I rode it on another web) a way to filter hands played against a specific kind of player. For example, you can review your bluffs against fishes by combining a filter showing only hands played against villains with VPIP > 40 (or another value) with other filters.

Can this be done in PT4? As far as I know, it can't be done... And it would be really useful.

It can be done with custom stats, custom reports and a bit of SQL knowledge

I've proved a few solutions given on this forum using advanced filters by SQL and it doesn't work, the screen shows "Loading" eternally. I've even let the Report loading for a few hours and didn't show anything...

Edit: I'm talking about this thread, containing a link to another thread where it's explained how to do it... and there you can read: "There isn't much you can do - this filter needs to check the VPIP of every player in the database, then find the hands that the people with the right VPIP played in . . . that's a lot of work and it just takes time."

Well, it's so much time. I think it's important to develop a better way of achieve this kind of filter, given that this way doesn't work in practice. It's very useful to review your game against certain kind of players, and now unless you have an SSD it can't be done.

How big is your database? These queries take time, but should work. If your database is very large, try creating a new one and importing a few hands there to experiment with the query and check it does what you want.

I'll try, but my database has less than 100k hands so I think that's not the problem... Maybe the answer is the HD speed? My HD can read data only at 80 MB/s, should it be enough?

A slow hard drive will have an effect, although it's hard to say how much.
Try creating a really small database to check if the reports give you data then.

Uping this thread.

Found no exact filter description for cash game, hands played vs opponent with certain VPIP
Replacing torney_ for cash_ in working tornament filter (as WhiteRider suggested https://www.pokertracker.com/forums/vie ... 53#p228543 ) sent my 500 hands test database into infinite loading state; my best guess is filter should be adapted for cash games more specificity than just replacing torney for cash.
Can somebody please post here working cash filter?

Replacing tourney with cash should be all that is required so can you please post the expression you are using here.

cash_hand_player_statistics.id_hand in (SELECT thps.id_hand from cash_hand_player_statistics thps, cash_cache tc where thps.id_player = tc.id_player group by thps.id_hand, thps.id_player HAVING ((((sum(tc.cnt_vpip) / (sum(tc.cnt_hands) - sum(tc.cnt_walks)))) BETWEEN 15 and 25)))

Also i tried replacing any 't' in variables name for 'c' (presuming 't' is for tourney) and had same result - infinite loading on low hands database.

With that expression the value will need to be between 0.15 and 0.25 so try the following which returns results for me on a 20k hand database in just a few seconds:

Code: Select all

cash_hand_player_statistics.id_hand in (SELECT thps.id_hand from cash_hand_player_statistics thps, cash_cache tc where thps.id_player = tc.id_player group by thps.id_hand, thps.id_player HAVING ((((sum(tc.cnt_vpip) / (sum(tc.cnt_hands) - sum(tc.cnt_walks)))) BETWEEN 0.15 and 0.25)))
