When we import a tournament hand history and are analyzing a game, how do we tell what action was actually taken in the tournament and what hands did everybody involved have? I see what is suggested we do, but what do I look at to see what was actually done in the respective tourney?
In the Tournaments view, the Prev column displays opponent preflop actions before it is the hero’s turn to act. The Hero column displays the hero’s preflop action.
In the Game view, all actions are displayed in the graphic game view.
it does not show post flop action or what the player’s cards were
The Wizard only analyzes preflop push/fold decisions. Post flop actions are irrelevant.
Opponent cards are not included in the hand history unless there was a showdown. The Wizard does not show them because the they do not affect the analysis.
why does the wizard never suggest raising? Isn’t that the bet move in some cases?
*best move*
Yes, in deep stack situations, raising is usually better than pushing.
Analyzing a raise would require predicting post-flop actions (flop, turn, river), which is pretty much impossible. Therefore, the Wizard can only analyze pre-flop all-in scenarios.
so what does the wizard say in the suggest line when raising is best? does it say “check” and how are we to know that it really means a raise might be better but we can’t say, why not just put a question mark or something?
The Wizard compares pushing (or calling a push) to folding. So it will tell you whether pushing is better than folding no matter what your stack size is.
Even if you are deep stacked where raising may be better than pushing, it doesn’t hurt to know that pushing is better than folding.
and we can tell if a “push” is really meant as a raise because it doesn’t qualify for analysis (i.e. there is no icon in the first column)??
Yes, if the hand does not qualify you should probably raise instead of push.
how come it has some actions recorded wrong. I am using bovada and am looking at the hand history within bovada and it shows my opponent shoving pre flop, but when I import the hand history to wizard, it shows him folding.
it even has my position wrong. I am suppose to be the dealer, but wizard shows me as the small blind.
nevermind, I might be looking at the wrong game.
What about calling? It seems in some situations calling might be better than folding or pushing, but it doesn’t give that option. I am talking about quiz mode. If a short stack raises pre flop and I got 88, but I got a big stack behind me yet to act. I should call here to try and eliminate this shorty, but wizard only gives me the option to shove or fold. I would just shove, but with the big stack yet to act, I can’t. The optimal move might be to call, but the wizard counts it wrong if I don’t select fold in quiz mode when in a real game I should not fold- I should call. I don’t understand why you can’t incorporate the raise or call option in every hand or at least don’t give scenarios in quiz mode where raise/call would be the best option. Give no information instead of wrong information. I don’t see how suggesting a raise or call pre flop analyzes post flop.
