Custom Stats: Definition of "bet"

[lhbrennan]

Does bet mean open bet, i.e. being the first one to bet? Or does it include raises?

I'm trying to create a stat for when a player is the first to bet after having limped. There is a stat called "Bet Flop (limp pot)", but I believe that includes times where other players limped, which is not useful in a headup context. I essentially want "cbet after limping", even though it's not a cbet in the true sense of the word.

I think I need to do something like this: cnt_f_bet_limp_pot AND cnt_p_limp / cnt_f_open_opp_limp_pot AND cnt_p_limp

In other words: count how many times someone limped preflop AND was the first bet on the flop / how many times limped AND had the opportunity to open action on the flop.

Yea?

"Bet" in PokerTracker terminology always means the first money put into a street postflop.

If you use Bet Flop (Limped Pot) in the BB that will almost always be the first one to act in a limped pot - the SB may or may not fold (and with big enough samples you might want SB as that guarantees first to act), but the BB will always check (he'll never fold), so you'll get the biggest sample there. Anybody after the BB had someone check in front of him.

Thanks Kraada for clearing up the "bet" terminology.

Regarding the "Bet Flop (Limped Pot)" stat, please consider that I'm only concerned with headups contexts (2max games). I want to know how many times the small blind limps, and then bets when the action is check to him. Right now that statistic combines those instances with the times where he is the Big Blind and leads the action when his opponent has limped preflop in the Small Blind.

In that case, you want Bet Flop (Limped Pot) and change the Has Position value to In Position on Flop (since it's Heads Up you could also choose the Small Blind position - either would have the same effect).

Awesome, I think this will work perfectly.
