Check Raise Analysis Fields
Many players check raise in a very predictable fashion. You need to know
these tendencies so you can take advantage of them. The check-raise section
of the Analysis Report is designed to highlight these tendencies.
This section of the analysis shows all hands where a player check-raised. The
hands are grouped by the type of hand the player had at the time of the
check-raise, the street and the player position. Hands are further color coded
to identify strong hands (green) and weak hands (red).
For example, in the above report, every time this player check raised the
river, he had a strong hand and won the hand.
Hands: Number of hands in the database for this player.
LT: Loose/Tight rating for this player. See
Game Tracker Window for more information on
this field.
PA: Passive/Aggressive rating for this player. See
Game Tracker Window for more information on
this field.
Name: The name of the player.
The Name field also serves as an indicator of
players you want to play against, or players you want to avoid. Based on the
information from the LT and PA fields, Poker-Spy will highlight the players as
follows:
Green Highlight: A player that is "Tight and Passive"
or
"Loose and Passive" are marked in green.
"Tight and Passive" players are usually
unimaginative which usually allows you to know where you stand against them.
"Loose and Passive" players play too many hands
and when they show strength, they usually have a very good hand. These are the types of players you want to play
against.
Red Highlight: A Player that is "Tight and Aggressive" or
"Loose and Aggressive" are marked in red.
"Tight and Aggressive" is the mark of a good
player. This type of player will start with the best hands and use aggression to
his advantage.
"Loose and Aggressive" players play too many
hands and are very aggressive. Although these players are typically long term
losers, they often go on wild winning and loosing streaks. They are difficult to
play against because you rarely know where you stand in the hand. If you catch
them on a winning night where the cards are running their way, it could
seriously hurt your profits. Sometimes it is best to
avoid these players altogether.
