I was having a lot of trouble with one particular definition not getting the results it should so I deleted it and rebuilt 1 step at a time testing as i went to see where the problem was.

The definition involved a player 3betting the flop in position with a high card hand or 3 betting in position and eventually folding on a later street.

The definition all worked fine until the final step when I added the cardrange variable and then suddenly it wasn't getting any results. The really odd thing is that when I then removed the variable and it was now exactly the same as it was before when it worked, it STILL was not working.

I'm guessing NT doesn't like adding the cardrange variable to a definition where folds are involved since we are never seeing holecards anyway, but I would like to be seeing the holecards for the time the player has a high card hand and we see a showdown.

Hands which fold never match when {cardrange} is used - you cannot know their cards when they fold. That said the rest of it should have worked. Was it not matching even those which got to showdown?

yes i know i won't get {cardrange} results for the hands that were folded, however I do want results for the times there is't any folds and we see a showdown. The definition works right up until you put the card range variable in. I have attached the definition so u can see what I mean. (also added a hand history that works right until the cardrange variable is added)

please note how it stops working and then when u try to rectify the problem by removing the variable it still doesn't work.

I believe that's a known issue although I can't find my notes on it just now. I've made a note to make sure this issue is in our system.
As I remember, once the variable is added which causes the problem removing it won't help (as you say) so you'll need to recreate the note.

When you add the {cardrange} variable to the note it automatically adds a filter for "showdown" (because that is necessary to know the cards).
Having removed the variable you could also remove the showdown filter to get it working again without the variable.

ok thx
