I am having an "interesting" issue with the "All-in
equity" functionality. I mainly use this as a curiosity thing, so it's not a critical issue. Also, there are compounding factors which cause this issue to happen. So the bug is probably very rare.
I am currently playing on Bovada. I know this site is unsupported. As such, I download the hands and use a converter to make them look like
pokerstars hands to upload into my database. This allows me to keep track of my own stats (pretty useless for other players, since they're anonymous). The converted hands show every players' hole cards. Even if they folded pre-flop.
Take a look at the following hand (and ignore how much of a fish I am pre-flop):
PokerStars - $0.10 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
UTG: 144.4 BB
MP: 100 BB
CO: 264 BB
BTN: 38 BB
Hero (SB): 113.7 BB
BB: 81.9 BB
Hero posts SB 0.5 BB,
BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 7:heart: 7:diamond:
fold,
fold,
CO raises to 3 BB,
fold,
Hero calls 2.5 BB,
BB raises to 7 BB,
CO calls 4 BB,
Hero calls 4 BB
Flop: (21 BB, 3 players) 7:club: 2:club: 8:spade:
Hero checks,
BB bets 8 BB,
CO raises to 18 BB,
Hero raises to 41.5 BB,
BB raises to 74.9 BB and is all-in,
fold,
Hero calls 33.4 BB
----------------
As you can see, only the BB and myself get all-in.
The results show the following equities:
Hero (Pre 15%, Flop 68%, Turn 95%)
Big Blind (Pre 40%, Flop 5%, Turn 5%)
The flop should be: 91% to 9%. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Until I added the CO's hand into the mix. The CO had 4:club:3:club: ! Now I see the right numbers.
But the CO's hand shouldn't be included in the equity calculation because it was not live for the all-in! So the "all-in equity" for that hand (and probably some others) is way off. It seems like I got in worse than I really did.
I don't know if this is something you'll ever fix or look into. But it's something that makes that one part of the program useless for my current site.
Edit: It's not
that uncommon. It is off for every pre-flop all-in (unless every player at the table went all-in). When we get in pre-flop, every player who was dealt into the table effects the equity calculation, even if they folded.
