Opponent Position

[pr1mo]

I know it's possible to set our position by using for example: holdem_hand_player_statistics.position = 9 being us in the SB. But if I add holdem_hand_summary.cnt_players_f = 2 for players in the hand being 2... is it possible to set our opponent position? i had a look through the insert option inside custom stats but didn't see anything. I'm looking to use this in a BB vs. SB stats situations.

is it better to use: holdem_hand_player_statistics.position = 9 to describe us in the SB or is it better to use: holdem_hand_player_statistics.flg_blind_s

or are they the same thing?

They are the same thing.

To get your opponent's position is tricky. There are a few fields which will help.
holdem_hand_player_detail.flg_f_has_position (for each street _t_, _r_)
holdem_hand_player_detail.val_f_bet_aggressor_pos (etc)
holdem_hand_player_detail.val_f_raise_aggressor_pos (etc)

when using holdem_hand_player_detail.val_p_raise_aggressor_pos = does that equal the same positions as usually used with the holdem_hand_player_statistics.position = stat.

ie:
sb=1
bb=2
button=0
cutoff=1
hijack=2
utg 10 handed=3
utg 9 handed=4

i seem to remember either WR or Kraada posting saying that position numbers are different with some special different pt3 stats. if the positions for val_p_raise_aggressor_pos are different could you please post the numbers, thanks

The numbers start from the button and count up:

Button = 0
Cutoff = 1
Hijack = 2
and so on.

What is supposed to happen is that BB is always 8 and the SB is always 9 regardless of how many players there are at the table.

I believe what is happening is that the SB and BB are just counted up normally, so on a 9 handed table there'd be no difference but on an 8 handed table instead of 8 and 9 it'd be 7 and 8.

Yes, that's how it works at the moment, if I remember correctly.
