Hey Team -

I'd like to know the percentage of time a player Bets or Raises with a Hand that's Less Than what the Board Reveals. I'm looking for two example situations at this time:

1. Bets or Raises Pair into a Boarded Overcard - such as with KK and there's a Boarded Ace.
2. Bets or Raises into a Boarded Made Draw - such as with a Set or lower and there's a Boarded Made Flush or Straight.

Thanks,
David

See this post which lists all the id_x_hand_strength values for a given hand strength. For example a pocket pair which is lower than the highest flop card but higher than the second highest flop card would be:

Code: Select all

cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_1pair and cash_hand_player_combinations.id_f_hand_strength = 5

Hey Team -

I'm understanding from all of this that there's NINE Hand Strength Groups and within each group, there's a List of Various Hand Types by Hand Strength - Like a Parent / Child relationship between the two data sets. Also, it appears that each Group identifier is stored with a seperate field. Is that correct? And if so, for a Played Hand, is the Group Identifier for the Hand stored in a Single Field somewhere?

For my testcase, based on the Intel you pointed to in another post, I don't see two common board scenarios in the cash_hand_player_combinations.id_f_hand_strength Field for the cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_1pair Group:

- Board Paired, Lower than the Highest/Top Board Card
- Pocket Pair, Lower than the Highest/Top Board Card

Following are the listed values from the Post Within One Pair:
0 - Board Paired or low pocket pair (under the 3rd board card)
1 - Bottom pair
2 - Pair higher than the lowest board card
3 - Top Pair
4 - Pocket Pair, higher than the lowest board card but lower than the 2nd highest board card (low-middle)
5 - Pocket Pair, middle pair - specifically, a pair lower than the top board card and higher than the 2nd highest board card (high-middle)
6 - Pocket Pair, overpair


Thanks, David

My apology, I meant to type... I'm understanding from all of this that there's NINE Hand Strength Groups and within each group, there's a List of Various Board Types related to various ways a Hand Group is constructed by Hand Strength.

Also, If I'm just interested in knowing the texture of the Board, for example 3 Cards to a Flush or Straight, where can I find that information? Do you store anywhere that a Board is Monotone, 2-Tone, Rainbow, etc.?

Thanks, David

Everything is stored in the cash_hand_player_combinations database table - see this post for more information.

That falls into hand strength 0 for one pair hands. If you want to be more specific you would need to test and compare the ranks of the cards - see below.

That falls into hand strength 0, 4 or 5 for one pair hands depending on the pocket pairs value compared to the community cards.

That is done by comparing the board card values. The community cards dealt in order are cash_hand_summary.card_1 through to cash_hand_summary.card_5 - this post covers the card values. As an example testing for a monotone flop looks like this:

Code: Select all

(cash_hand_summary.card_1 > 0 and cash_hand_summary.card_1 - ((cash_hand_summary.card_1 - 1) % 13) = cash_hand_summary.card_2 - ((cash_hand_summary.card_2 - 1) % 13) and cash_hand_summary.card_2 - ((cash_hand_summary.card_2 - 1) % 13) = cash_hand_summary.card_3 - ((cash_hand_summary.card_3 - 1) % 13))

This post has more information on how the modulo function works. If you start PokerTracker 4 with logging enabled (turn that on via 'Configure -> Options') you can review the PokerTracker 4 log file for these type of queries. To do that run a simple custom report and then add a built-in filter for the 'Board Texture' you want. Next select the 'File -> Open User Data Folder' option, go into the 'Logs' folder and open the 'PokerTracker4.log' file in a text editor. At the bottom of that file you can extract the SQL that was used for the query.

Thanks a million. I have some studying to do.

Hey Team -
I did some searching and found the following as it relates to the Hand group a players Hold Cards reside in as it relates to the Board. It's all in seperate fields/columns. A couple of questions:

1. If a hand turns out to be flg_f_2pair, what are the values in the remaining 8 field/columns?
2. Once a hand is played, do you store the final Group Name in a single field somewhere, or must I test for the presence of the appropriate value in each of the 9 Group Fields/Columns?

It seams as if a Database View would make this a lot easier to digest and process. Following are the fields/columns...

cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_highcard is 9
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_1pair is 8
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_2pair is 7
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_threeoak is 6
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_straight is 5
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_flush is 4
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_fullhouse is 3
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_fouroak is 2
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_strflush is 1

There are 10 id_x_hand_strengths for 2pair hands and those are detailed in the post linked earlier:

Quote wrote:Within Two Pair:
0 - Board Double Paired (Note: only valid for turn and river)
1 - Board Paired, low pair (34 on a KK378 board)
2 - Board Paired, middle pair (QJ on a AT8JT board)
3 - Board Paired, top pair (KQ on a JTTQ8 board)
4 - Pocket Pair, low pair (88 on a 9JJQK board)
5 - Pocket Pair, middle pair (JJ on an A7633 board)
6 - Pocket Pair, overpair
7 - Low two pair (78 on a K78T3 board)
8 - Top and middle pair (K7 on a K78T3 board)
9 - Top two pair (KT on a K78T3 board)

cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_fouroak is 2
cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_strflush is 1

These do not have the values you are assigning here. Anything that uses flg is either true or false (aka a flag or boolean value). For example if you wanted a column that just counted how often a player flopped two pair (of any type) that would be:

Code: Select all

sum(if[cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_2pair, 1, 0])

If you wanted to count specific types of 2pair hands then that's where the id_x_hand_strength values come in. For example if you wanted a column that counts how often a player had top two pair on the flop that would be:

Code: Select all

sum(if[cash_hand_player_combinations.flg_f_2pair and cash_hand_player_combinations.id_f_hand_strength = 9, 1, 0])

Great stuff. Can you send the code for a "Straight" board texture, in the way you did for a "Monotone" one?

Thanks again, David
