have suggestion for "Colors" / groups in matrix

do you see how easy the numbers 9-16 are to read on the right side? Since the colors are darker on the bottom, the text is white, yet when you apply them to the matix, it defaults to the black. Very hard to see.

Would be nice to see more contrast between text and colors, just like in boxes!

my suggestion, keep the text colors from the right side to the matrix, if possible...

thanks,

Hi twinskat,

good idea ...
but there are some exceptions like on part with dark background and another one in bright ... i've to think about it ... maybe for every part a different textcolor ... hmmm

best regards, nopi

Have another suggestion Nopi, and am sure you have heard this one already...

What if you allow Equity Trainer to select range vs range training as well as Hand vs range?

If I am trying to decide whether to bet a Flop or not, my entire range is probably more of a factor than the hand I am holding. Give the student the option to select either hands or flops for training, and give the same Biggest Diff, Smallest Diff, Avg Diff answers at end.

Also, I would like to be able to accumulate my answers over the long run.

You give a "cheating" option to skip question, but I would also like a Save test results file. then I could take ten questions today, ten tomorrow perhaps on different spot, then revisit first test.

If you had a save option, I would like a graph that shows my overall avg and a moving avg, just like stocks, so if I started bad, I could see my daily avg slowly influence my moving avg.

I know this may sound like strange advice for an Equity program, but what if you repositioned it as a "PoKer Drill" program?

the whole community could probably come up with multiple ways to use Equilab to quiz themselves with. You could write the code, and we would have a single place to "Practice Improving away from the Table"

And maybe the Equilab platform is too developed for that, but what if you create a standalone APP? Something we could use on our phone for whenever we have a few minutes? Maybe we could link it to our home account if we are online?

Just something to create value out of small bursts of free time?

I spent several days working on ranges in equilab. all ranges were saved correctly. after closing equilab and opening it up again some time during the day, everything just disappeared. all i have left is the root 'user-defined ranges' folder. all subfolders and ranges within them are gone. Any idea on how they can be recovered?

the level of frustration is difficult to describe at this point....

I have a somwhat similar experience just now.

I went through and renamed all my groups for a set of pre flop ranges.

I saved each, and each one shows up correctly in the display on the main page, which shows all the ranges.

I close the program.

I reopen the program, and all the group names have disappeared.

I retried to rename the groups, but only one this time. I ensured that only one window was open.

Saved, closed, reopened, and group names are gone, back to defaults.

any ideas?

Hi gmpttrs and twinskat,

unfortunately we cannot reproduce this issue ... we will take a deeper look in the next days.
All settings used by the Power-Equilab are stored in textual ini-files. You can find these files here: c:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Equilab\*.ini
The ranges are saved in c:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Equilab\PreflopUserdefined.ini.

best regards, nopi

So this issue happened again. I turn on my computer today, launch equilab, and all of my ranges are completely gone (see image). I had them backed up, but now I am seeing that the file that I backed up is empty! Even though I backed it up while the ranges were visible in the program, they apparently weren't in the preflopuserdefined.ini file.

I think I am done with this program. I spent another full day recreating the ranges, backing up the correct file, and once again it all disappears on me. I don't think I can handle another one of these resets

Hi gmpttrs,

sorry, but this here is the support thread for the Power-Equilab, not for the PokerStrategy.com-Equilab.

embarrassing mistake on my part So I will not be using the PS equilab anymore in this case, and switch to the power equilab ^_^ I never knew there were multiple versions of the equilab.

Hi Nopi,

PE uses only 1 logical processor when calculating equities, card matrix, analyzed future cards...
For example, it gets 12 seconds every time to calculate heat map for whole range on flop with 1 logical processor used and other 7 is not.

Do you plan to extend it to support multi threading during calculations to decrease calculation time?

Thank you

When typing numbers in VPIP or PFR fields in "Hand range selection" window, digits are inserted to the left side of the previous digit.
For example, try to type 56 and you will get 65, or try to type 100.

This is, by far, the best equity calculator out there anywhere. Free, open source, or commercial. Additionally, at this point PokerStrategy.com has become arguably the best all around poker research/study site on the web. I was looking for a video training site to subscribe to (I've tried several before) and right now, it looks like your gold or silver package would probably serve me or anyone else in the micro/small stakes better than anything else available.

Hi vglad,

we will see what we can ...
for now we are working amoung other things on another way to speed up the calculation.

Is there a way to select specific combinations in the hand distribution and hand range reduction section by clicking on them (and turning them from yellow to red) without loosing them if you select another group afterwards? Because it doesn't seem to work.

Hi,

I downloaded this program today to try to define 3bet calling ranges based on equity realization and I have a question. Should I evaluate the hands based on all-in equity or only to flop? This is for cash games by the way and I'm using pot odds of 33% to call.

Thanks

No, unfortunately not.
It is designed to first select the desired hand strength in the tree and then "fine select" dirct in the matrix.

Hi arnaldo911,

i'm not the best poker player, but i would say you should use the all-in equity. The "only to flop" equity shows how often you are ahead on the flop.

This is definitly a false detection.
Alternatively, you can download the installed folder here: www. http://power-equilab.com/download/Application.zip
Just download and unzip.
