Version 3.38.8 Adds Performance Improvement Options

This option will stop calculations during the hand when you fold or are not seated at table. Stats will continue to update at end of hand from hand history, but once you fold Real-Time calculations and data extracts will cease until the next hand starts. It saves some CPU. Use it on low end systems and for multi-table play.

Version 3.38.8 also fixes a bug in Low BB Shove +EV category added in V3.38.7

Version 3.38.7 Adjusts +EV

New "Low BB Shove" sub-category added to +EV in V 3.38.7. If your stack is 10 Big Blinds or less and a player opens the betting into you, +EV will calculate Expected Value assuming that the player will call a shove. Concept is that you have insufficient stack to expect the opponent will fold if raised. Hence, new calculation will require a much tighter range to shove when playing back at opener with low stack.

Version 3.38.+ Adds Support for Preferred seating, Improved Chat stability via Mouse hook, and extended Game Control Bar

Version 3.35.4 adds Mouse Mode to PokerHound

Version 3.35.0 adds +EV to PokerHound

+EV is an advanced EV calculator. +EV runs in ICM or Chip mode. It includes a HUD view that can be situated on the game table like a player stat. The HUD auto-calculates to each player's action.:

The slider in +EV adjusts several ranges for several players. The ranges initially derive from each player’s style, situational stack, and betting position. Then advanced stats such as player’s Fold-To-Raise and Defend Blind percentages are folded into the equation to arrive at %Probability Call Raise and %Probability Call Push.

+EV calculates:

Raise/Fold

Raise/Call

All-In Push

Call All-IN

Also In Version 3.35.0:

Muck card extended to show Flop, Turn, River
A NoStats mode for players that just want to run calculators without stats overlay
Improved chat text reading
Bug fix to ICM call calculation that incorrectly summed stacks in some situations
