Overview:
Main Filters is where you filter for basic information like stakes, # of players, etc.
You can sort by No Limit, Pot Limit and Limit at the top.
Only Stakes that are in your hand history database will be displayed. Check or uncheck the checkboxes to remove or add Stakes to the Filter.
The Big Blind dropdown on the left allows you to filter by multiple Big Blind parameters:
- More Than
- Less Than
- Between
- Equal To
On the far right there is a checkbox to Uncheck All or Check All. Very handy when you have lots of stakes, but only want to see hands from a single stake or two.
Next, you can sort by the # of Players dealt into the hand, Stack Size (BB) and Effective Stack (BB).
# of players can be sorted four different ways:
- More than
- Less than
- Between
- Equal To
Stack (BB) can be Filtered by:
- More than
- Less than
- Between
Effective Stack (BB) can be Filtered by:
- More than
- Less than
- Between
Effective Stack Definition:
Effective stack size measures how much of your stack is at risk when your making your first action preflop.
An Effective Stack (or effective stack size) is the smaller of the stack sizes between two people. The term reflects the fact that, when a larger stack goes against a smaller stack, only the amount of money in the smaller stack is really at stake. For example, if a $100 stack pushes all-in and is called by a $20 stack, each player will be risking only $20; the excess $80 will be returned uncontested to the bettor.Folded to Big Blind Exception:
If your in the big blind and its folded to you then 0 of your stack is at risk so it will not show any of these hands in the filter. If you want to view these hands you could narrow them down by choosing a filter to show just the big blind and set the effective stack to less than 1 and it will return all these hands in the big blind where it was folded to you.Limpers: Other scenario's of note include situations where someone limps early position preflop there stack is counted as part of the effective stack calculation.
Multiway pots: Finally in multiway pots if there are 2 or more players the effective stack is calculated based on how much of your stack is at risk so if player 1 is 20bb and player 2 is 100bb then the effective stack is 100b not 20bb because 100b of your stack is possibly at risk.
