More frecuent bet size

[EducaPoker]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the most common value bet on the river as a % of the pot and not get to know how.

So far, my plan was to use the count function and return the value that is repeated more (with max function) .

I'm totally stuck , can you give me a hand ?

max() isn't your best choice imo...
If a player bets 3/4 pot 99 times out of 100 and 1 time bets pot, the max() would retrieve pot, which isn't what you are really looking for

Yeah, i know it, i´m trying to retriebe max repeated bet size.

I'm not sure what is the best way to do this because it's not just going to be exact bet size, as you'll want some kind of grouping buckets. For example, someone who bet full pot twice, but 49%, 50% and 51% once each has clearly bet half pot more but it's not exactly half pot. Though it's tricky even for exact numbers honestly, and if someone bets half pot and full pot equal amounts then what do you do?

My idea is to determine when an opponent goes out of its norm.

Generally most players have a certain size bet on the river.

When they deviate from that size is very significant.

It is this information that interests me, and always as a percentage of the pot.

I understand it's interesting, but the problem is figuring out what "the norm" is in code is a lot harder than it is in your head.

Do you think it is possible?

[kraada]

I think no matter what definition you decide upon there are going to be hard edge cases with not obvious answers, and it is definitely true that not all definitions can be done in column code (even if you can imagine them fully in your head).

Ok, thanks!
