Yeah, and I can't believe I only stole 4 hands. I think I'm going to do the work and go over the whole thing myself. Tedious, but the only way I ever seem to understand anything is to take it apart. (Hope I can get it back together afterwards.)

Seriously, if you have PT, ignore FTP's/Stars' stats, which are pretty much worthless. Learning to understand PT's will be much more useful.

Who says you only stole 4 hands? It doesn't say where you won the hands that you won without showdown. Most of them you won on 3rd, a few less on 4th, a few less on 5th, with very few on 6th and 7th, probably.

Is anyone interested in discussing/explaining how the hell prax won 91% of hands at showdown? Was this an AP tourney??

Yeah, so is the only hand you lost the one that knocked you out?

Well, I think this is how I got confused. If I saw 4th 40 times, and at the end I won 44 pots - then those 4 extra ones have to be on 3rd, right? So they are fold-arounds or steals or both.

Let's see if I have this right:

If I saw 4th 40 times and 5th 24 times, then I either folded or won 16 times on 4th.

If I saw 6th 16 times, then I folded or won 8 times on 5th.

If I reached showdown (it never just says 7th) 11 times, then I folded or won 5 times on 6th.

So, now, if I take the 40 times I saw 4th and add the 4 extra hands, then I could get pretty close to VPIP by dividing the total number of hands (234) into 44. Right? That makes it 19%. (I know being folded around to is not "Voluntarily Putting Money" anyplace, but I think that's not more then 2 hands, so maybe not too significant.)

Well, of course, I lost a lot of hands I folded, but just this one at showdown. Wait. That's not right, is it? Then the 4th street number would be higher.... How could I have won all of them but 1? See, I have to go look at the HHs -

As far as understanding PT's stats, I'd like to do that, too. But I also have a couple big tournaments that PT doesn't seem to want to load, so I'm wanting to make sense out of the trny summary they send.

AP? "Almost Proficient?" "Average to Poor?" Wait - I got it: "Absolutely Perfect!!!"

There's something wierd here - I'll get back to you all after I go through all 234 hands.

Oh my achin' eyes!

AP = Absolute poker

As in, you won 10 out of 11 at showdown b/c you could see the villain's hole cards? I guess the one you lost you had something like 9,7,6,A,A to his 7,6,4,4,2 and you thought you had the better hand. Silly prax [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

At *least* 4 had to be successful steals. Certainly, many more could have been. The rest of them are hands where your opponents folded 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th.
