PLO Categories

[vijayr]

How do i set up PLO categories in PT4 ?
I am specifically referring to this useful post
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/38/small-stakes-pl-omaha/pokertracker-analysis-typical-plo-mistakes-1729/

That is a old post (2008), but it is quite useful and would like to implement that.
Pasting the relevant portions below.

You should be able to copy, save as a .txt file and then import on PTO. You're all welcome, feel free to point out stuff I am missing so I can fix for myself as well.

You can enter Omaha ranges manually via 'Hand Values -> Hole Cards Range Selection -> Omaha Hi Hand Range -> Add Range -> Include A Range -> Manual Range' - click the 'Manual Omaha Range Selectors' for the correct syntax. If you want to build a custom statistic to group these ranges for a custom report then you can extract the queries for the holecards from the log file after a filter is applied.

Thank you Flag_Hippo.

1. So I understand the filters can be created for each of the Omaha ranges i want -For example Top 3% hands and then use the filter and analyse my hands played. Is the right way to think about it or is there some other use ?

2.

If you want to build a custom statistic to group these ranges for a custom report then you can extract the queries for the holecards from the log file after a filter is applied.

I couldnt figure out the above - Can you direct me to some documentation or explain in a little more detail please.

Cheers.

If you want to group data in a report based on the details in your original post then you can do that with a custom statistic - the built-in statistic called 'Preflop Stack Size' statistic is an example of that. This guide covers the basics on custom statistics creation and this guide goes into more detail.

You can view all of the Omaha holecard values by opening the C:\Program Files (x86)\PokerTracker 4\Data\Schemas\schema.postgres.sql with a text editor and to assist with building a custom statistic using those values you can start PokerTracker 4 with logging enabled, filter for a range of cards and then extract the query from the log file which you can then use in a custom statistic. After applying a filter select the 'File --> Open User Data Folder' in the main PokerTracker 4 window and opening the file called 'PokerTracker4' or 'PokerTracker4.log' with a text editor.
