--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.19-test8 is available.
This release contains a new item under the edit menu called "Equity Modeling."
Here I am adding options for gaining finer control over the modeling and estimation of tournament equity.
The first addition is a long overdue way to "discount" equity for the taking of blinds on the next hand.
The way this works is that your fold equity can be affected by your posting of blinds on the next hand. This can be important especially when getting short-stacked. Your fold equity is computed from some combination of your fold equity before posting your next blind and after posting it. The two sliders allow you to pick some combination of the two values, from no discount (0), to full discount (100).
For a default setting, I've chosen to use discounting for both big and small blinds, and have chosen 50/50 values for both discounts. I think these are good starting points.
As for how to choose values, you can see that in an aggressive game where you are unlikely to get a pass in the BB, you should weight the discounted value more heavily. In a passive game where you are likely to get a pass in the BB, you should not expect to lose your BB all that often and can use a lighter weight on the discounted value.

As I understand this blind equity discount modeling should be turned off unless you are UTG(next BB) or BB(next SB). I am not entirely sure why it gives different results when you are not in these positions.
