- Win Odds:
Post-flop Win Odds are calculated with a sophisticated mathematical algorithm based on your pocket cards, the community cards, and the number of players in the hand. Holdem Indicator offers accurate post-flop odds that you can trust. Pre-flop winning odds are generated by a random simulation of numerous games and assume all players stay in until the end of the hand. The results are not so accurate as the post-flop Odds, but they are good enough to indicate the strength of your starting hands.
- Pot Odds:
Pot odds is simply a ratio of the amount of money in the pot compared with how much money it takes to call. The higher the ratio, the better your pot odds are. If there are $12 in the pot and it costs $4 to call then you are getting 3:1 odds ( winnings : "cost to stay in"). This can be translated to a percentage, representing the size of your contribution in the new pot. It will be 25% in the above example.
- Your/Opponent hands at showdown:
These numbers represent the probabilities of hitting a particular hand for you AND your opponents at showdown. For example, if it shows 20 on flush for you and 30 for your opponents, it means that you have a 20% probability of getting your flush, while your opponents collectively have a 30% chance of hitting a flush.
- EV:
Expected Value for your hole cards. Expected value is the average amount of big bets this hand will make or lose. So, for example, AA from the small blind in a 3/6 game will make on average 2.71 times the big blind, or $16.20 per hand (2.71 * $6). 22 from the button (D or Dealer position) however, will make -0.12 EV, or -$0.72 in a 3/6 game (6 * -0.12). This data was extracted from Poker Room's EV Page. Thus, these statistics are actually compiled from live table data instead of simulations.
- Group:
This is another way to describe your hole cards' strength. In the book of Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players by David Sklansky, he divides the starting hands into 9 groups. Group 1 is the strongest; group 9 is the weakest. By only playing poker hands that have profitable EV, you will certainly improve your Texas Hold'em game. Please remember however, that this is a compilation of EV for the average player, so they are just representative of long term statistics and not Texas Hold'em facts. You will still need to play your poker hands accordingly, which means you need to observe your opponents, and play as the flop sees fit. For the whole list of the groups, click here.
- OUTs:
OUTs refer to the unseen cards still left in the deck that will improve your hand after the Flop. As you might guess, the more cards left in the deck that will improve your hand, the better. That's why, after the Flop, you want to stay with hands that can be improved in a number of ways. The more outs, or ways your hand can potentially improve on the Turn or the River, the better your chances are of winning the pot. By counting your outs, you can do a very rough, quick calculation to estimate your chance of improving your hand after the Flop, and hopefully having a winning hand. Knowing how likely (or unlikely) you are to improve will help you make a better decision about how much (or little) to invest in the hand. Holdem Indicator shows you the Total Outs and what the Outs are.
- Position:
Holdem Indicator shows your position after flop. For a full size table (7-10 players), the first three seats after the button would be Early. The button and the two seats before it would be Late, and in between is the Middle. For short-handed tables (5-6 players), Early and Late position are the first and last two positions. For tables with 2-4 players, Early and Late position are the first and last position.

2. Opponent Stats
|
| |
|
| |
Holdem Indicator will store Opponent Stats automatically on your computer. This data is collected using the same information you receive while sitting at the poker table. Holdem Indicator does this by reading the log files supplied by the online poker rooms themselves. The major difference is that Holdem Indicator actually remembers the action and automatically recalls it for you. Top professionals have amazing card memory - so can you!
Play money, real money, and tournament data are tracked separately. Balance data is collected only for the current session.
Opponents Stats will be collected even if you're sitting out. This data is kept locally on your computer and will be loaded automatically next time you're sitting with a tracked player.
|
- You can choose which stats columns you prefer to display. "Right Click" on the stats window. Then select Select Columns to be Displayed.
- Player: If you click the header of this column once or twice, you can sort players by player name alphabetically or by seat positions on the game table.
- "#H":
Total number of hands tracked.
- VPIP (Voluntary Put Money In Pot):
Percentage of games a player voluntarily puts Money in the pot pre-flop. Blinds do not count unless a player completes small blind or calls a raise or raises from either blind. It measures a player’s tightness/looseness, which helps indicate the range of hands that the player will see a flop with.
| VPIP |
Category |
| VPIP < 24% |
Tight |
| 24% < VPIP < 28% |
Neutral |
| 28% < VPIP < 33% |
Slightly Loose |
| VPIP > 33% |

- PFR: Pre-flop raise percentage.
- 3Bet/F: 3 Bet preflop. % of times a player raises preflop when facing a raise. It inlcudes 3 Bet, 4Bet, 5Bet, etc.
/F: % of times a player folds when facing a 3Bet and voluntarily put money in the pot.
- Steal: % of time a player raises unopened pot preflop from the CO(Cutoff), Button and SB position.
/F: % of times SB/BB folds when facing a steal.
- AF (Aggression Factor):
It measures a player's aggression/passivity, which represents the player's betting tendencies after the flop. Holdem Indicator provides a combined AF for flop, turn, and river. If a player makes some raises and bets but never calls, the AF will be displayed as Inf, which means "infinite".
AF = (Raise% + Bet %) / Call %
| AF Value |
Category |
| AF < 1 |
Passive |
| 1 < AF < 1.5 |
Neutral |
| 1.5 < AF |
Aggressive |
- CBet/F: Continuation bet on flop. % of time a player bets the flop after being the preflop raiser. A CBet can only be made when there are players to act before the preflop raiser, if those other players all check to the pre flop raiser.
/F: % of time a player folds to a continuation bet on flop.
- WSD/W:
To further categorize players, we use "Went to Showdown %" to measure whether a player is Solid or Overplay. It is based on the hands when saw flop.
| WSD% |
Category |
| WSD < 39% |
Solid |
| 39% < WSD |
Overplay |
/W: Went to Showdown and Won percentage.

 Not sure yet. Not enough hands of data to categorize this player.
- Net:
The chip amount that this player is up or down for all hands tracked. It is very interesting to observe how different playing styles (see VPIP, AF etc) correlate with winning or losing patterns. Also, the balance may represent additional useful information regarding the player's current mindset (who is more likely to "play it safe", who is getting desperate, who is about to "go on tilt" etc). Due to technical difficulty, sometimes the value might not be accurate on some sites.
- "Filter":
For the history stats, you can set up criteria to display preferred data.
- Player Notes:
Double click a player’s name to add or view notes for that player. The data will be kept locally on your computer.
