ATS the real calculation

Hey fellower, :f_love:

in another poker book I read that the FTS is not only the fold-%-in the blinds. There is written that it's just an approximately value and does include some stuff of raising preflop as well.

So I checked out the calculation in PT4 which is: (cnt_steal_def_action_fold / cnt_steal_def_opp) * 100

My questions are:
:diamond: How can I get more information about cnt_steal_def_action_fold and cnt_steal_def_opp to be able to understand that ATS correctly?
:diamond: Is there an pure Fold to Steal in the blinds? And is it recommended to use it or is there something that makes the "normal" ATS the better choice?

Thanks you in advanced! :f_love:

Hey Klausen16,

I have moved this to the PokerTracker board where you will likely get a response from PokerTracker support.

Regards

cnt_steal_def_action_fold and cnt_steal_def_opp are columns, you can look them up the same way you did the stat, just search under the columns tab. I’m not at my computer so I can’t look myself, but you will find the formula for those columns which should help you understand them better. The one to look at is cnt_steal_def_opp, which will defines the scenario faced. cnt_steal_def_action_fold Just counts how many times a player folded when faced with the scenario.

The statistics used in the columns can be looked up in the PT4db_schema. I’m sure you can find a copy with a quick internet search.

A steal opportunity Is recorded by stat ‘flg_steal_opp’ and is defined as: “ If the player was in stealing position and had the opportunity to steal the blinds, this is set to true, otherwise it is false. To have the opportunity to steal the blinds, the pot cannot be opened yet.”

Another useful definition is for fold to steal in SB, flg_sb_steal_fold, “ If someone who is in stealing position attempted to steal and the player was in the small blind and folded, this is set to true, otherwise it is false. Stealing positions are Cut Off, Button and Small Blind only. To face a steal everyone else must fold between the steal raise and the player facing the raise.”

Hope that helps for now. If you need more info I can help further when I have access to my computer.
