Is there any way I can see a visual representation of hole card frequency I was dealt for a given period, independent of VPIP/PFR etc?

Not that I'm aware of.
What do you want to see that for? To check the fairness of the deal? You'd need a huge sample size for that to be useful..

For SnG grinders it can give an indication of the 'playing surface'. In reviewing some of my previous play I've looked for leaks in my SnG play (lack of aggression, too low a VPIP etc) and found that the quality of the hole cards can have a substantial impact.

Now, b4 everyone jumps on the 'low level of statistical evidence', 'results oriented' bandwagons, the defined length of SnGs and the "lose once and (essentially) you're out" format means that an SnG can be examined as a single entity; hence the popularity of programs such as SnG Wiz.

You can do this by building a custom stat - the requirement for a stat to be in the HHV list is that it can be displayed using our times/opportunities option - so it needs to be in (a / b) * 100 form. Once it's built this way you can get to it using the small wrench in the HHV stats selecting area.

So you could use a custom stat with this definition and it will display based on total hands dealt:

(cnt_hands / 100) * 100

You need the 100 in the denominator so that it cancels the * 100 on the outside - and it conveniently fills up a slot you don't otherwise have a number for.

When you have Range selected you'll see what percentage of hands dealt each pair of hole cards was. If you select Value you'll see the number of times you were dealt it.

You got a Rosetta stone handy to translate what you just said?

Edit: Holy chit... it worked. Not bad Kraada, not bad at all.

Here's where this can be useful. All SnG hands, all sites:

Distribution when hero in BB or SB:
Distribution when hero in cut off or button:


It ain't rocket science.

Was happy with this for tourney hands so thought I would do a 'conversion' to cash hands. Went as smooth as silk however the 'all hands' option doesn't come up under the selection list. Any suggestions?

Do you mean that the converted stat isn't available when you click the spanner/wrench to add a stat to the HHRV list?

One little step...I miss one little step. :oops:

Can you post the stat you made, would like to try it out.. I cant find translation for what Kraada posted :D
