Incorrect Pot Odds Bug?

Postby smizmiatch » Sat Mar 22, 2008 5:36 pm

It appears that my pot odds showed up incorrectly in PokerTracker's "Playback - Pot Odds" window:

Please click [urlxpg]http://bp0.blogger.com/_M8hybLanwS8/R-V5G2yaPMI/AAAAAAAAAFc/r9arq334qag/s1600-h/PTpotodds.JPG[/urlxpg] to view the problem (I couldn't get the image to embed properly).

PokerTracker shows my pot odds are $950:$535, which is inaccurate. In reality, my pot odds in this hand are $1,485:$535.

Is this a bug, or am I confused? Thanks.

It is correct because you only have 535 to call left in your stack. This makes the actual pot size 950 since your opponent will be getting chips back if you call.

I still don't think it's right.

Although my opponent will be getting chips back, I have to call $535 to win $1,485 ($350 in pot + my $300 bet + $300 call + $535 on top). The pot size is only $950 after my opponent calls my $300 bet. The pot size is $1,485 once you count his all-in raise.

Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding. Thanks again.

Actually I think we both might be calculating it wrong. Please email me (or post) the text of this hand so I can see what is happening.

I knew this problem looked familiar. We made a change for this in a recent patch. See the second link on this page, v2.17.01g.
http://www.pokertracker3.com/products/PTH/download.php

After installing it you will see that the pot size becomes $1185.00 in this situation. As I look at it though it is not taking into account your initial $300 bet, and I think it might need to, but I need to see if there was a reason for this. If it is a problem we'll fix it for an upcoming patch.

Right, something is definitely wrong.
After installing the update, the pot size becomes $1185.00 as you said it would, but that is not correct.
The problem gets worse if you check the "Show odds to complete on turn" button. Now I'm getting all kinds of strange numbers.
In fact, it's even more broken now than it was before I installed the 2.17.01g patch:

Yes, there is definitely something wrong in all-in situations like this one. I am working on a fix for it.
