Next SnG tool - the Luckometer
Here's that final(?) SnG tool I'd like to see as a complement to PokerTracker, SnG Tracker and eastbay's pushometer: The Luckometer.
The Luckometer would meassure your luck in $ in hands starting from the point where everyone remaining in the hand except one is all-in. Example: Four players left in a $10+1, everyone has 2000. UTG folds, I have KTs on the button with blinds 200/400. I push and get called by A8o from the SB. I have (roughly) 46% chance of winning, leaving me with a $EV of 40$, and a 54% chance of going broke, leaving me with $0, if MY ICM calculation is correct. Thus, my $EV is $18.40. If I win, luck netted me $21.60, and if I lose, bad luck netted me -$18.40. If I make this calculation for all hands in a tourney and sum the resulting "luck", I think this will give a reasonable aproximation of my actual luck, with two important caveats. 1. This measures only luck after I am actually called. One could argue that if my opponents both had crapy hands and folded, I'd be even more lucky. That is of course a very important factor, but I think that meassuring one luck factor, while imperfect, is significantly better than messuring none. 2. It is quite possible for me to be more unlucky than the money at stake overall, which is of course simply wrong. Without doing any kind if research, I would guess that that isn't a very important factor over a large set of tournaments. Has anyone done this analysis over a fairly large set of tourneys? Is it meaningfull? My guess is that this figure together with ROI figures would yield a significantly more reliable result after any x tourneys than just the ROI figure. Any takers to implement this in an automated manner? |

Re: Next SnG tool - the Luckometer
I am so disappointed. I thought you had created a tool to measure how lucky I am. I was really excited about this. I could check it before I sat down -- if I was very lucky, I would play the $200s, if I was just kinda lucky, I'd play my regular buy-in. And if I was unlucky, I would just download porn.

Already been done. See Poker Academy Pro.
I like the bot simulations (I'm still -EV to a couple after 10k+ hands), but the luckometer is of little use, at least to me. The Shadow |

I don't get to the movies often and when I do its usually with the wife. Sci-fi is a tough sell with her (clearly she will be overruled for Sith, of course). |

Re: Next SnG tool - the Luckometer
From what I understand, that doesn't do what I want at all.
I want to run a hand history or thousand through a piece of software that will tell me how lucky I was in my all-in confrontations. Is the software you suggested doing anything like that or do you have commission plugging their stuff? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |
