SF3 vs 2 hi cards

#1

Nick,

The hand you are talking about is easy to miss. That's the bad news. The good news is that it doesn't cost you anywhere near the 2% - 4% you are quoting in Winpoker.

You are probably looking at the accuracy number. Let's say your accuracy number is 97%. That means you are misplaying 3 hands out of 100. Winpoker is just reporting the errors. It doesn't differentiate between a small error, SF3 vs 2 hi cards or a huge error, Hi pair over RF3.

What you really want to look at is the "Error Effect on total return" section. If you don't have any other errors besides the SF3 error we are discussing, I'd estimate that the error costs you 0.1% at the most.

Another thing you can do to practice is use the Training Modes > Advanced > Fixed cards option and set up 3 SF cards and then play a bunch of hands to get a feel for what the hands look like.

In Frugal , you can actually generate a strategy card where you put 2 hi cards over SF3 and see exactly how much it costs you in the long run.

In summary, it's good to review our play to make sure we are playing well. I don't think the error you mention is very serious at all. Certainly not a decision on whether or not to play.

Thanks Johnny for the reassurances but last night I went through my VP bankroll in 45 minutes and walked around for 3 more hours playing 1 cent slots for more donations to the building fund. It does not look lake gambling any more , just donate [I wounder if I just mail it in to GT and maybe I can take it off my taxes as charity donation!!!]... Oh well Bob Hope I'm not.
  Really : how do you set up Win Poker?
  I did not know you could do anything but change the pay table with Win Poker, Frugal I do not have.
  Thanks again.
