Texas Hold'em Analysis window

Texas Hold'em Analysis window helps you analyze your own and your opponents' game and habits. This module is designed to be used while you are not playing. By reading statistics you are able to find leaks in your game and learn from your mistakes. You are also able to review your played hands.

Overview tab

In the overview tab you are able to see some basic statistics of selected player. This should give you a good overall picture of the player.

Money Graph tab

Winnings graph shows winnings of selected player.

Sessions tab

In the sessions tab you see statistics for sessions played by selected player. A session in Poker Evolver means a series of hands played in one table without long pauses.

Positions tab

In the positions tab you are able to see statistics of selected player grouped by position. This is very crucial information especially for No-Limit Hold'em players.

Starting hands tab

In the starting hands tab you are able to see statistics of selected player grouped by starting hands. With these statistics you are able to see for example which are your winning hands and which are your losing hands.

Using filters

In the upper part of the Texas Hold'em Analysis window are filters which you can set to filter the statistics.

The most important filter is Player filter which selects a player whose statistics are shown in the tabs.

With the date filter you can select a time period from which statistics are calculated. Date filter consists of start date and end date. These can be unset by clicking the text field of the filter and clicking Any button in the upper part of the small calendar window which opened. When date filter is set to ANY, it means that statistics are not filtered by it.

Hand Browser window

In the Hand Browser window you can look through hand histories of played hands. From hand histories you can learn from your own and your opponents' mistakes and improve your play. Hand browser can be accessed from most statistics tabs of the Texas Hold'em Analysis and Bankroll management windows by double-clicking a statistics row.

By double-clicking a row from a table of statistics the Hand Browser opens up showing a list of hands that are related to the statistics row. For example, if you have your own hands from last week filtered on the positions tab and you double-click on the row that shows statistics for button seat, you'll get every hand from last week that was played from the button to open up in Hand Browser.

Hand Browser shows the hands that were selected with a double-click as a list and provides some details for each individual hand, like the hand number and pocket cards for example. By clicking on any of the hands in the list you'll get the related hand history shown along with more details.

All details are shown and calculated for the player who was selected when Hand Browser was opened. In Texas Hold'em Analysis window the selected player means the player selected from the player filter and in Bankroll management window it is the same player whose winnings are calculated for a session.

If there is plenty of hands in the hand browser, hands are shown at multiple pages. Currently visible page can be changed using the arrow buttons or the drop-down menu located above the list of hands.

Note: Changing the filters afterwards does not affect the hands shown in the Hand Browser. If you want to look through a different set of hands you'll need to select those hands by double-clicking a statistics row like described above.

If the transfer is done between accounts that use different currencies, the dialog lets you specify the exact exchange rate and shows what the amount will be in the currency of the target account.

The dialog lets you also mark the money transfer as pending if the arrival date of the money is not yet known. This will cause the money transfer to show in the account statement as pending and is always dated to the next midnight until the pending status of the transfer is removed.

Any field of a money transfer can be edited later by right-clicking on a money transfer in the account statement and selecting Edit... This way you can for example remove the pending status of a transfer.

Exchange rates

You can change the exchange rates of currencies by clicking the Exchange Rates button. The rates are shown and must be typed in relation to dollar. This means that the rate for the euro is the exchange rate of converting dollars into euros and the rate for pound is the rate of converting dollars into British pounds.

Percentage that shows how often player has 3-betted when it has been possible to do so. Possibility to 3-bet means on pre-flop that someone has raised (2-betted) ahead.
Mathematical formula is:
(times when 3-betted pre-flop) / (times when possibility to 3-bet on pre-flop)
Pre-flop 4bet %
Percentage that shows how often player has 4-betted when it has been possible to do so. Possibility to 4-bet means on pre-flop that someone has re-raised (3-betted) ahead.

Pre-flop fold to 3bet %

Percentage that shows how often a player has folded to 3-bet when he/she has been the original raiser (2-bettor).

Mathematical formula:

(times when folded to 3-bet and is the original raiser)
 / (times when faced 3-bet and is the original raiser)

Example when player is folding to 3-bet:
On the pre-flop a player on middle position raises (2-bets), next player re-raises (3-bets), other players fold. Now the original raiser folds. The original player on middle position is calculated to be folded to 3-bet because he is the original raiser, faced a 3-bet and folded.

Example when a player is not folding to 3-bet:
On the pre-flop a player on middle position raises, next player re-raises, player on the button folds. The player on the button is not calculated to be folded to 3-bet (altough he faced a 3-bet) because he is not the original raiser.

Pre-flop fold to 4bet %

Percentage that shows how often a player has folded to 4-bet when he/she has been the original re-raiser (3-bettor).

Mathematical formula:

(times when folded to 4-bet and is the original re-raiser)
 / (times when faced 4-bet and is the original re-raiser)

Example:
On the pre-flop a player on middle position raises (2-bets), next player re-raises (3-bets), other players fold, but the player on the big blind re-raises (4-bets). The player on middle position and the player after him both fold. Both of them faced a 4-bet, but only the re-raiser (3-bettor) is considered to have folded to a 4-bet.

Pre-flop raise %

Percentage that shows how often the player has raised on the pre-flop.

Mathematical formula:

(hands where raised pre-flop / total hands).
Return On Investment
The ratio of money won relative to the amount of money spent on buy-ins shown as a percentage ( (total cash out - total buy in) / total buy in )
Risk of Ruin

Risk of ruin shows the probability of loosing your entire bankroll assuming that your hourly win rate and hourly standard deviation remain constant and are accurate. In reality both of these change and it may take many thousand hands before the win rate is accurate, but it still gives a reasonable estimate of your risk of ruin.

The formula used to calculate the risk of ruin is the following:

ROR formula
SD%
See Showdown %.
SD won%
See Showdowns won %.
Showdown %
Percentage that shows how often the player has seen the showdown out of all hands. (hands with showdown / total hands).

Win rate
The amount of dollars won per hour.
Win rate confidence

Win rate confidence is the percentage showing the chance that your true win rate is within a given range from current calculated win rate.

The win rate confidence range can be changed from settings and is always in the currency selected from the currency drop down list next to the exchange rates button. This means that if you have the confidence range set to 5 as is the default and you are viewing your bankroll in USD, then the win rate confidence shows the likelihood that your true win rate is within 5 dollars per hour from the calculated win rate.

Win rate std. dev.

The standard deviation of win rate. Simply put this shows how much your win rate usually varies while playing. You can expect your win rate to not differ from the calculated hourly win rate more than this value in either way 68% of the time. For example, if your win rate is $10 per hour and your standard deviation is $70 per hour, then while playing your win rate will be something between -$60 per hour and $80 per hour roughly two thirds of the time.

The formula used to calculate the win rate standard deviation is the following:

Hourly standard deviation formula
Won %
Percentage that shows how often the player has won the pot (hands won / total hands).
Won with flop %
