Title: Kinboshi is hopeless.
Post by: RED-DOG on September 19, 2009, 01:54:19 PM
At the beginning of this month, I started using the HM poker diary. It's a nice simple way of keeping a record of your progress and it gives lots of interesting stats.

However, I don't understand this one.


Overall Win Rate (per hour)
   (This is a + figure)
Average Win Rate (per hour)    (This is a - figure)

How can one be plus, and the other minus?


Kin tried to explain it to me via PM, but he made no sense. He has no idea what he's talking about.

When I challenged him last night at DTD, he muttered some feeble excuse and pretended to be drunk.

Lol @ Kin's response last night.

Is it something to do with the fact that you are winning overall but are a big winner in a certain type of game/ discipline and therefore losing a little in other games/disciplines. So it is weighting the losses more heavily in the 2nd stat.

sounds like it could well be, doesnt sound like its weighting the hands/profit properly.

But if I am winning per hour overall, (So far, I'm having a decent month) how can I be losing per hour on avarage?

ok lets say your crushing the 100/200 game but loseing a little at the 1/2 game

you played 100000 hands of 1/2 but only 1000 hands of 100/200

you made 10k at the 100/200 but lost 1k at the 1/2

so overall your a winner
but on average if all hands were at same level you would of lost

But obv all hands were not at the same level.

What is the point of a stat with an "IF" in the equation.

If my granny had balls, she would have been my grandad.

Have to agree with the title, I also asked  for his help at the bash with my phone, he drivelled on about how he could fix it with guiness in one hand and my phone in the other then proceeded to drop it on the concrete slabs outside the hotel. He has some strange ways of fixing things does Kin.

Post by: bolt pp on September 19, 2009, 02:40:12 PM
i dont know if this is right or not(i havnt really got a clue, im just guessing) but the overall figure is just compacted into an hourly win rate(its not actually what you win per hour) whereas the average win rate is more idicative of you broader stats.

lets say you played for five hours, lost $100 for the first 4 hours then won $900 in the last hour if you divide the profit between the hours it would be + but the average would be -

Yeah think what Byron is getting at, is that Jamie Gold won 12 million (before legal wranglings) but has probably lost overall without this result.

Yes. that makes sense. It would obviously turn a plus into a minus of you discount a $12 million result, but in my stats, that's not the case.

in short, I order food it arrives, I go to flick my cards to fold and the chips on the cards flicks into the pot, so i've limped, every one laughs at me and my obvious disgust of my hand, :(  I see guy pick up chips in sb as rest of table is deciding which combo of chips to put £2 into the pot with. I just lob my 2 into the middle and open muck and start impersonating Tom. ofc limped 8 way pot I would have flopped trips rotflmfao. Kin said 'you play bad' sigh......

lol its been explained twice how can you not get this.


I will try to make it v simple:

You play 10 hands at 10-20 NL and win $3000
You play 10 hands at 1-2NL and lose $2000

Now you have won 1k over 20 hands or $50/hand

Now in terms of blinds, you lost 1000BB @ 1 level and won 150bb@ the other level so lost 850bb/20 hands

Now your average bb is $11 so your average win rate is 11x-850/20 -$467.5

I have never used HEM.

I swear to God I don't get it.

The figures are per hour, not per hand.

Surely if I lose £10 per hour for 9 hours, and then win £100 in the last hour, that would mean that over 10 hours I lost £90, but won £100, so made a profit of £10, or, an average of + £1 per hour.

Ok fine take out where i said hands and put in hours.

You won MONEY, but you lost BLINDS.

A player who loses x amount of big blinds over time but wins money is called running good, your overall a losing player but you happened to lose in the small game and win the big game, over time when all of it levels off you will lose money as well.

Unless next month's stats show something different eh? I'm not saying that this is the case, but perhaps the stats could be interpreted as I'm better/luckier at one game type than another for instance?

I'm not sure it is set in stone that I will lose money over time. (At least I hope not)

I am beginning to understand it now though.

It's a small sample, but it includes online and live play. I have played more hands online than I have live, but I'm losing online and winning live.


Title: Re: Kinboshi is hopeless.
Post by: Royal Flush on September 19, 2009, 07:29:13 PM
Yes sorry of course it can mean you do better at diff levels, i am just assuming same standard for the purposes of making it easy.


It's a small sample, but it includes online and live play. I have played more hands online than I have live, but I'm losing online and winning live.

That makes sense, you lose online and win at live even though the live games are bigger, its not really surprising given the live games will be easier.

Put another way take byron's example.


Guy wins 49k over 49hrs of playing 5-10nl, he then loses 50k in 1 hr @ 500-1k. He is net 1k down at pokers.

Guy loses 49k over 49hrs of 5-10, he then wins 50k in 1hr @ 500-1k. He is net 1k up at poker.

Now 1 guy has a -ive hourly rate but a +ive avg win rate, the other has a +ive hourly rate but -ive avg win rate.

Which player would you advise to keep playing poker and which would you suggest takes up train spotting?


Title: Re: Kinboshi is hopeless.
Post by: thetank on September 19, 2009, 08:43:50 PM
Dismiss average win rate as useless stat.

It's probably worked out like this...

Game A, you play for 40 hours and win $400
Game B, you play for 20 hours and win $400
Game C, you play for 90 seconds and lose $100

Win rate at Game A = Total winnings in $ divided by total time in hours
= 400/40
= $10/hour

Win rate at Game B = as above total winnings divided by total time
=20/400
= $20/hour

Win rate at Game C = total winnigs will be -$100 total time will be 0.025 hours (90 seconds in hours
=-$100/0.05
= -$4,000/hour


It sounds like they've got your average $/hr figure by taking the average of $10, $20 and -$4,000 (which will be -$1,233 or something mad)

The other figure, the sane one, would be the total net profit ($400+$400-$100 = $700) divided by the total time played (40+20+0.025 hours = 60.025 hours)
This would give an overall win rate of 11.66 $/hr


If you've not done so already, dismiss average win rate as useless stat. The overall figure reflects reality, the other one is pretty much pointless.

Dismiss average win rate as useless stat.

It's probably worked out like this...

Game A, you play for 40 hours and win $400
Game B, you play for 20 hours and win $400
Game C, you play for 90 seconds and lose $100

Win rate at Game A = Total winnings in $ divided by total time in hours
= 400/40
= $10/hour

Win rate at Game B = as above total winnings divided by total time
=20/400
= $20/hour

Win rate at Game C = total winnigs will be -$100 total time will be 0.025 hours (90 seconds in hours
=-$100/0.05
= -$4,000/hour
