Cross posting this from the "other poker" forum...
I was running a hand comparison on Mike Caro's Poker Probe, and to be perfectly honest, the results don't make sense to me. Maybe someone here can explain what I'm missing?
Game is Omaha/8. Set to analyze total of 25,000 hands.
I ran:
A /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/heart.gif
vs.
A /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif
and I get this result:
A /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/heart.gif
13,817 (Hi shares) 17,296 (Lo shares) 62.23% (win %)
A /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif
11,183 (Hi shares) 7,694 (Lo shares) 37.75% (win %)
Ok, then I ran:
A /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
vs.
A /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif
and I get this result:
A /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
9,532 (Hi shares) 13,203 (Lo shares) 45.47% (win%)
A /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif
15,468 (Hi shares) 11,797 (Lo shares) 54.53% (win%)
What makes no sense to me at all is the fact that in the first example, A /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/heart.gif had almost 10,000 more Lo Shares than A /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif ....so why would replacing a K /images/graemlins/heart.gif with an 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif reduce the percentage of Lo Shares the hand is getting against a hand (A /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif) that has not changed??? Is the Poker Probe making a mistake? Am I just missing something?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
