- The
last column shows how often a given hand group will be dealt.
For each hand in a group, pair = 6/1326 = 0.45%, suited = 4/1326 = 0.30%,
offsuit = 12/1326 = 0.90%
- The
header for the last column displays sum of all group percentages.
- Preflop,
Flop, Turn, River
- The
individual strategies (or combo boxes) is defined as "strats".
- There
are 160 total # of preflop strats.
- There
are 145 total # of postflop strats.

- At
this time, there are 274 flop groups, 449 turn groups, and 215 river
groups.
- The
percentage actions, such as "Call 50%, Fold 50%", are
proportionally added to fold strats and call strats.

- The
percentages are shown in the columns of percentages in the following way:
1 (it's 100%), 0,45 (it's 45%), 0,03 (it's 3%), etc...
- The
calculation of percentages is made with all the strategy columns. So if,
for example, we want to set a strategy of maximum aggressiveness, the
column of percentage of Raiser/bet (BR%) will never be 1 (100%) because
there are several columns whose maximum action is Call.
- Select
Copy From dialog to copy group strategies from current or existing profile.

- Our position is calculated automatically by the application. The position is calculated starting from the last
player. In each turn the last player is considered that he has the position 10. Our position will always be relative to the last
player. Our position will change in each turn according to the other players they go making
Fold. See examples here.

- You can know your hand odds, pot odds, win chance and outs:
- Hand
Odds: The chances of you to improve your hand. If you hold two
hearts and there are two hearts on the flop, your hand odds for making
a flush are about 2 to 1. This means that for approximately every 3
times you play this hand, you will hit your flush one of those times
(1/3). If your hand odds are 3 to 1, then you would hit your hand 1
out of every 4 times (1/4).
- Pot
Odds: Pot odds is a ratio of the amount of money in the pot
compared with how much money it takes to call. If there is $100 in the
pot and it takes $10 to call, your pot odds are 100:10, or 10:1. If
there is $50 in the pot and it takes $10 to call, then your pot odds
are 50:10 or 5:1. The higher the ratio, the better your pot odds are.
Pot odds ratios are a very useful tool to see how often you need to
win the hand to break even. If there is $100 in the pot and it takes
$10 to call, you must win this hand 1 out of 11 times in order to
break even (1/11). The thinking goes along the lines of: If you play
11 times, it'll cost you $110, but when you win, you get $110 ($100 +
your $10 call). The usefulness of hand odds and pot odds becomes very
apparent when you start comparing the two. As we know now, in a flush
draw, your hand odds for making your flush are 1.9 to 1. Let's say
you're in a hand with a nut flush draw and it's $5 to you on the flop
to call. Do you call? Your answer should be: What are my pot odds?.
If there is $15 in the pot plus a $5 bet from an opponent, then you
are getting 20:5 or 4:1 pot odds (1/5). This means that in order to
break even, you must win 1 out of every 5 times (1/5). However, with
your flush draw, your odds of winning are 1 out of every 3 times
(1/3)! You should quickly realize that not only are you breaking even,
but you're making a nice profit on this too. If your Pot Odds is favorable you will see green color, but you will see the red color. Note that the green color doesn't mean that you should bet and the red one that you should not bet, that depends on the strength of your hand and the danger that there is in the table.
- Win
Chance: HM calculates the chances that your hand has of winning taking into account the number of active players.
- Outs:
Outs are defined as a card in the deck that help you make your hand.
So if you hold AK of spades and have two spades on the flop, that
leaves 9 more spades in the deck, since there are 13 cards of each
suit. This means you have 9 outs to complete your flush - but not
necessarily the best hand!

- In the screen
"Log of the Game" Hold'em Memory shows all the events that
happened in the game. All the data of the game are recorded in a file log in
the folder "logs". From time to time, you should erase these files
to avoid wasting space unnecessarily on the hard drive.

log is composed of the name of the table+date+hour, you can see it or edit
it with any text editor, for example with NotePad of Windows.

-
Strat
column:

-
Recomended
action: Action that
Hold'em Memory taking of the strat.
- If you
have doubt about some hand that you are thinking, you can click on the
"WHAT hand is...?" button, this tool will show you the round,
group (Id) and description belonging to that hand.
-
The first two cards are our cards and the rest
are cards of the table.
- Auto-Fold
- Some people want to play the hands for themselves, but it bores them very much to click on the Fold button
continually. For this type of users the feature Auto-Fold has been created.
- Obviously you need to be playing in automatic mode. Then you should select the round in which you want to make
Auto-Fold.
- If the action to take
is not Fold neither Check, HM changes from automatic mode to manual
mode, this means, you are making
Fold or Check action in automatic mode, but when the hand should not be folded
or checked HM lets that you play the hand.
- Auto-Fold won't make anything if you are playing in manual mode.
- Manual
Strat
- The Manual strat lets to the player to select the
action. If the player is playing with automtic mode, Hold'em Memory will change from automatic mode to Manual
mode.
- Manual Strat won't recommend any action to take neither in manual mode, neither in automatic
mode. It simply changes from automatic mode to manual
mode to let to the player to select the action.
- Differences
- Auto-Fold will always change from automatic mode to manual mode if the action to take in the round is
Call, Bet, Raise, Reraise or Manual. If Auto-Fold is in "No Change Auto", HM will only change from automatic mode to manual mode if the action to take is
"Manual" for a specific hand.
- If you
play same way all the time, you'll become too predictable and your profit
will suffer. You can use the action Random to vary your play.
- If you're
in a tough situation and not sure what to do, you might want to use action
Random to randomize your actions.
- Select
the appropriate action pairs from strat combo box.
- There are
four types of action pairs: Call or Fold, Check or Bet, Call or Raise, and
Raise or Fold. Also there are the action Random.
- Each of
those paired actions have three types of paired percentages: 25% or 75%, 50%
or 50%, and 75% or 25%.
- For
example, if you select "Call (25%) or Fold(75%)", the application
will recommend/push "Call" 25% of the time and "Fold"
75% of the time.
-
If you select "Random" the application
will recommend/push "Fold" 33.3% of the time, "Call"
33.3% of the time and "Raise" 33.3% of the time.
- You can
customize several bluffings in the strategy, for example you can customize
the "No Callers" column with the action "Bet" in the
positions 9 and 10. This means that if all players make the "Check"
action you will make the action "Bet".
-
You also can customize Check-Raise, for example
if you have a strong hand and your position is early you can make a Check or
Call action and customize in the columns of Raisers a Reraise action. Uses
the percentage fields for Check or Call for always not making the same
strategy.
- You can play with
"4 Color Deck" option On or Off.
- You will see the
message of the site recommending you that you use the "Auto Post Blind"
of the table. We recommend you
to use the "Auto Post" of Hold'em Memory.
- In Preflop, the blinds
are not counted as "callers", except if the SmallBlind completes
the bet. If the SmallBlind complete the bet is counted as a caller but if
the SmallBlind doesn't make it is not counted as caller.
- You can use the ramdon
actions displayed on the action text box to randomize your actions (25%-75%,
50%-50%...).
- In Preflop, the strat
with position Big Blind and column "no_callers" is used when we
are Big Blind "non official" , this means, we sit down in the
table and we begin to play before being Blind (Read this text of Positions
Examples section).
- In manual mode (Advisor
On) or in automatic mode (Advisor off) we can click on the buttons of action
of Holdem Memory or on the buttons of action of the table without
problems, even if the action taken is not the action recommended by
the program. Although we click on the buttons of the table, Holdem
Memory will know it and it will know the correct strat that it has to choose
in our next turn.
- To play with multiple
tables, open another instance of Hold'em Memory.
- The width of the
window is preset and cannot be changed. You can change the height with
"Details" button.
- Please regularly backup your profiles.
- "ProfileTest"
is only a profile to test the program, it is your responsibility if you
decide to use it to play in tables of real money.
- Please email your questions or comments to Support.
- If you find some Bug,
please communicate it to us.
