Random observations

[JaredL]

This thread is to make random observations.

Here's mine.

How is this possible?

[DLKeeper1]

someone could have left?

[MICADOO]

Yes, someone or someone's left.

Yep, I think they use a moving average so there is a certain amount of lag time before the %s update.

People suck

even if it was just 2 players the whole time:

100 hands.
57 of them = 100% players to the flop
43 of them = 0% players to the flop

[RoundTower]

that would be 100 hands and 53 flops?

[illunious]

Some sites count no-flops as 0% in averages, some don't

I think Stars does

Full Tilt does

Edit: yeah, think this is how stars does it, as you can see, players stay at 2/6 (33%) and saw flop is dropping (you'd expect it to be rising if it was converging to 100%)

[MicroBob]

In this situation obviously it is unlikely that they folded 43 out of 100 hands preflop headsup.

However 4/7 is 57% also.
So most likely they played 7 hands and only 4 saw a flop.
(or 8 out of 14). Still pretty passive-ish but at least it's more realistic.

OK a couple things:
1. There is too much nittery and not enough random observations.
2. Just to keep up the nittiness level, the stat is players per flop as listed above. That means that the 43 hands where there was no flop shouldn't be counted. So you have 114 players seeing 57 flops. If there were 2 players dealt into all those hands there would be 2 players per flop and hence a 100% players/flop. Also, I'm pretty sure as illunious says Stars counts it as bob suggests because I recall having seen this stat on a couple of new tables where it went 1->2 in the lobby with no stats and then when it refreshed with stats it came up with something under 100%. It could be the case that there was a third guy for a hand or two and then someone left because they wanted to play heads-up or something like that.
