Hi I am new here I was just wondering what is the best way to analyze the table stats window . What are the key stats I should be focusing on to see if the game is weak or strong and what do they mean.

Thanks looking forward to your response

Thanks that was a fast response ... I will check out the links. just a quick question about bb/100 stat for the whole table if it is negative there are more losing players at the table then winning is that correct. Its an avg of all players playing?

Yes, that is true... sort of. The "Table Summary" hud is a set of averages for the whole table. And the BB/100 for the whole table is the average of all the players BB/100s.

But keep in mind that BB/100 needs a lot of Hands-Played to be considered truly accurate. Because BB/100 is about how a player has performed over time (# hands played). So if players have very few or not that many hands played... their BB/100 stat might be based on too small of a sample size... and perhaps not a good representation on how they'd really do across thousands of hands. So don't put too much faith in BB/100.


Good stats for judging the fishiness of a table are
vp$ip - are there more loose and average vp players then there are tight players
w$sd - are there more < 50% w$sd players then there are > 50%
bottomline - are there more players that have lost money over time
(fl-see) sd-see - do the players have a propensity for chasing losing hands all the way to showdown?

If you were wanting tables with lots of calling-stations... you'd want loose players that stay in hands too long... and tend to lose showdowns... and tend to lose money.

I assume you mean how do you change which 5 stats are shown in the table summary. You can't.
