Fold to steal and fold vs BTN/SB stats seem inconsistent

Postby GGGrande » Wed Apr 08, 2020 11:30 am

Hi,
I've just finished setting up a HUD for 3 handed play and after testing, the following happened. I have no idea whether this should work like this and I'm missing something or there is an actual error here.

So I have the stat Fold to steal, which I reckon should have all the cases where 1) SB folded to BTN RFI, 2) BB folded to BTN RFI, and 3) BB folded to SB RFI.
And then I have this detailed by position. So I have the Fold vs. BTN Open stat with the Position item property set to SB and BB as well as the BB vs SB Open stat. So for all the three possibilities I listed above.

Shouldn't these three add up to the Fold vs Steal stat?

So for example, in may case, I have a player with 25% fold to steal (1/4), SB fold vs BTN 50% (1/2), BB fold vs BTN 67% (2/3) and BB fold vs SB 0% (0/1), these are 6 opportunities and 3 folds instead of 1/4 shown in fold to steal.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Gaspar

Update:
Just played a hand where I opened BTN, both SB and BB called. After the hand the stats changed this way:
SB fold vs BTN open 0 (0/1) - correct
BB fold vs BTN open 0 (0/1) - correct
Fold to steal 0 (0/1) for SB - correct
Fold to steal for BB still shows "-" as if there was no such opportunity - incorrect?

So it seems that when SB calls BTN open and then BB calls as well, it doesn't count as an opportunity vs. a steal.

When the SB calls the BTN raise that 'defuses' the steal attempt so the BB is no longer facing a steal. A steal in PokerTracker 4 is defined as:

"Percentage of the time that a player folded when in a blind and facing an open raise from the cutoff, button, or small blind without any other players being involved."
