Pokerstats - Hold'em and Omaha Statistics

PokerStats - Hold'em and Omaha Statistics

PokerStats is a software for Linux (and probably other *nix variants) which allows you to track your play, as well as your opponents in Hold'em and Omaha cash games. It reads the hand histories generated by PokerStars client and creates statistics about players and their tendencies. A savvy player can use this information as an additional tool when making decisions.

Known Problems

Every now and then the pot calculations are off. About once every 8000 hands a small blind is missed. Also, some shove-contests may end up being miscalculated. If you know which hand triggers this behaviour, please report it.

History

I wanted a poker statistics software that would run natively on my system. But more than that, I wanted to understand how they worked on the inside.

When I first started playing, the only client that would work neatly with WINE was PokerStars. So I took to that. Later on, when I decided to take poker seriously, I found out that there was a selection of very sophisticated statistics software written to help the players analyse their own, as well as their opponents' game.

At the time, the state-of-the-art software was Poker Tracker, which I tried to get working with WINE, without success. I only needed a very basic subset of all the features, so instead of installing another operating system for just casual poker playing, I decided to write my own statistics tool instead. How hard could it be?

And that's how it started.
