Custom Statistic Coding - Custom coded statistics using SQL expressions used to track key metrics.In this specific example we looked at a simplified poker model that examined the application of the statistic FvMR, however this could easily be replaced by an online business model examining website traffic, click through rates, total value of sales, cost per click or acquisition, etc. Business Relevance = In business it is rare to have such a fixed set of constraints like you would have within a game, however the risk-reward analysis can prove useful in a business setting by ensuring that you are maximizing your resources (money, time, etc.) to ensure that the business is pursuing projects that will have the greatest return on investment (ROI).This establishes a benchmark that if Player 2 has FvMR > 50% than Player 1 has identified a strategic opportunity that is ALWAYS profitable even with no equity. In a real scenario, Player 1 would always have more than 0% equity.

If we give Player 1 equity (winning the pot without Player 2 folding) than the breakeven threshold of 50% goes down depending on how much equity Player 1 recieves. If that number is less than 50% he loses money every time and should never make this play. If that number is greater than 50% he makes money every time and should always make this play. If Player 1 wins the pot 50% of the time Player 1 breaks even. Let's assume that Player 1 has no equity and only wins if Player 2 folds (concedes the pot). Player 1 minimum raises and risks an additional $75 (total of $100) to win the $75.

A value of 99 means that every time this player faces a minimum raises he has folded and conceded his equity share in the pot. Represented as a percentage from 0 to 99.

FvMR = Fold versus Minimum Raise: The frequency the player folds to a minimum raise.

Example Statistic Usage - Identifying An Exploit Using Mathematical Thresholds.

Used to identify mathematically exploitable frequencies in opponent's strategies.

Custom HUD - Displays general game state data and custom statistics on each table for each opponent.

The information is used for in-game opponent analysis using a custom Heads-Up Display (HUD), an automatic real-time overlay of each players statistics for each poker table, and for statistical analysis and review using custom reports, statistics, and filters. PokerTracker imports and parses the hand histories that poker sites create during online play and stores the resulting statistics and information in a local PostgreSQL database.
