GUI for pop ten analysis

Postby flettl2 » Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:40 pm

I would pay 1 million dollars for a GUI instead of using the tedious filters PT4 has.
Imagine looking at a poker table, inputting # of players, stack sizes, and then clicking through the actions at the table (like reviewing a HH) adding a raise here, a call there etc.
Then the frequencies of the population are shown for that given line. Similar to something like the Snowie GUI.
And then you click on the frequency percentage...and a heat map pops up! Showing all the hands that made it to showdown when this line was taken.
Oh man that would be good.

That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how it would work in practice.
If you wanted to find hands where you CBet the river, for example - would you have to enter the number of players and all the stack sizes then click right through from the start of the hand? You'd also have to tell PokerTracker which of the clicks you intended to be filters and which didn't matter - for instance does it matter whether anyone limped preflop and which player(s) it was, how many players saw the flop, whether anyone folded on the flop, etc. It seems like that would be much more long-winded and inflexible than just choosing a single "CBet river" filter.
I can see that it might work for filtering some specific complex situations, especially preflop, but I'm not sure how useful it would be generally.

You would absolutely want to know the previous action before the cbet on river!
Just having cbet river % can be very misleading, it would change drastically depending on previous action, all information should be taken into account!
It's not hard to click through a single HH.

A River CBet is a very specific kind of a bet - it requires being the last raiser preflop, betting the flop and betting the turn and if raised, reraising. Every action must be aggressive all the way through. So you know quite a bit about all previous actions - and if you want to limit to only 2bet pots that's one extra filter (in Hand Details) that you can add.

Ok my mistake...proving how remembering all these filters and their underlying meanings is sometimes complicated.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE having the ability to filter for specific spots, I think it's great that you've added this robust filtering system, but poker players think best by visually observing a hand played out.
After filtering for a spot I will often use the replayer to actually see if I filtered things correctly, and there's usually something I've missed!

We agree it's certainly a complex topic with considerable nuance, that's why if we were going to expand on it we'd have to give careful consideration and put quite a bit of effort into whatever we do.
