Default Re: how has eastbays tool helped out your game?

KJo is right that Googling "sitngo analyzer" will get you the relevant link, as will going to eastbay's profile. However, there's not too much reason to stumble on the former unless you already know what it's called, in which case you probably wouldn't be asking in this thread.

As to what it does, I believe (I've never used it) that what it does is automate ICM calculations for all-in situations. It's sort of a marriage between PokerStove and an ICM calculator for the purpose of exploring SNG endgames.

Frankly, I barely use it. I used it quite a bit at first, but I am not happy about the hand range choices. Perhaps I'm too much of a perfectionist, and I should just trust Eastbay's judgement. I would prefer if I could set my own hand range in the analyzer, and then allow me to select my own ranges. Especially if they could be saved, so I could retrieve them with a button. (if Eastbay is reading)

Furthermore, I wonder how much I'm losing by not doing it long hand. I still very much enjoy doing the math long hand, I continually learn something everytime.

Best example of what I keep learning...

In this thread I learned what a huge difference folding meant depending on the actions of a likely BB caller behind me.

Who is still appreciative to Eastbay for letting us use his tool.

You do realize that you can customize the range for each of the 4 buttons (T,A,L,M), right?

No I didn't. That would be sweet.

Right-click the buttons.

You can also add custom hand lists without assigning them to buttons. Right click on the space where you type in the hands, and you get a little menu.

Also if you have the test version you can right-click on the compute button to generate the full range of hands to push/call with.

Edit: I just realized you could cycle the blinds by right clicking on the stack size. Awesome.

Huh? Customizing the presets as well as defining arbitrarily many of your own hand ranges is not enough? What else do you want to be able to do?

That's silly. No one wins by wasting time on arithmetic.

It's not all that funny. Once you know the method and are doing a problem that is analyzable by the program, you are wasting time to do it by hand. Period.

Did you read the link I posted to? I agree with what you're saying. There's just some little things that I am still learning because I've only done maybe 20-30 in my life.
