Game Type

Use the dropdown menu above to select the game type for the current player (Hero). Once selected, this will be the game type used for finding poker leaks on the Leak Tab. 

Use Last Current Player Hands

When checked, set the last amount of hands you want to find leaks for.  Maybe you want to look at your last 20,000 hands? Click the checkbox and set the current player hands to 20,000.

Don't click the checkbox and all hands defined in the Game Type will be used to find leaks.

Players At The Table

This is how many players are at the table. Keep in mind the displayed filter above will also use heads up hands along with hands where 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 players are dealt into the hand.

The first number should reflect the minimum amount of players at the table and the last number should be the maximum amount of seats at the table.

Use 2 for heads up tables
Use 3 to 4 for 4MAX tables
Use 5 to 6 for 6MAX tables
Use +7 for 7MAX and above tables

Use the "Edit" button to select the filters that will show for the database we are currently using. Select only the filters that make sense to use so it does not show options that are not needed and make the dropdown list too extensive.

Effective stack size (bb)

In this option we can select the effective stack size to filter for when searching for leaks.

The avaliable filters to select from in MTT databases include short stack options that are not avaliable for cash since in MTTs it is common to play with very shallow stacks.

Use the dropdown menu to select the active filter and the "Edit" button to select what filters show in the dropdown menu.

Stakes/Hands/Win Rate

Stakes - Stakes you have played

Hands - Amount of hands you have played for the stake

Win Rate - Win Rate for the stakes on the line. 

To select multiple stakes to use in leak finding hold the CTRL key and select the stakes to use with your mouse.

Restore Defaults

Restore Defaults will reset the Use Last Current Player Hands and Players At The Table filters to their default values.

• 1.00/2.00

For MTTs we currently have the following shared player stats for these stakes:

No Limit Holdem:

• 0-$5
• 0-$16
• $10-16$
• $5-$10$

In the cash profiles there are also three profiles avaliable for type of player:

• Loose Agressive
• Tight Agressive
• Players Similar to hero

All three use the shared and local players by default.

There is also avaliable a profile named "Local players" that uses the hands in your database and uses the winning players within it and a profile that uses shared players named "All players" using all of the shared players in the stakes avaliable.

Select the profile you want to use in the leak finding process from the list by clicking on it. It will turn blue once selected, then click the "Find leaks" button at the bottom right of the Leak Explorer window to start the leak finding process.

Click OK when you are done creating or editing your Winning Player Stat Filter.

Select First X Players

The default value is 10 and this is the optimal amount of people you want to compare yourself against. You can use less or more, but start with the top ten players in your database.

Player/Hands/Win Rate

Hover your mouse over the column titles for a description of each column.

There is a column for shared and local players that will show the results found for each of the groups listed. This helps us understand if the group filter is working to the maximum capabilities for our intended purpose of analysis.

Maybe it only found 6 players out of the 10 we asked. Then decrease min. hands required or lower the winrate requirement.

Playing Style Defined - The playing style is determined by 3 stats: VPIP, PFR, and AGG%.

3. Database / Player Name / Cash or Tournament
