- Stack Size
- On this page, stack sizes are defined for stack ratios (SBR, SPR, SOR).
- There are five types of Stack Sizes:
- Tiny -- if <= selected value
- Small -- if > Tiny and <= selected value
- Medium -- if > Small and <= selected value
- Deep -- if > Medium and <= selected value
- Huge -- if > Deep
- There are four types of Stack Ratios:
- SBR (Stack-To-Blind Ratio)
- This value is s a ratio between your stack and (small blind + big blind + ante * # of players).
- If Use Effective Ratio is enabled, this value is normalized to 10 players in a short-handed game
by multiplying SBR by n/10, where n = # of players (hands dealt).
- SPR (Stack-To-Pot Ratio)
- This value is a ratio between your stack and current pot size.
- If Use Effective Ratio is enabled, your stack size is calculated as
min(your stack, max(active opponent stacks)).
- SOR (Stack-To-Opponent Ratio)
- This value is a ratio between your stack and max(active opponent stacks).
- SAR (Stack-To-Average Ratio)
- This value is a ratio between your stack and average stack size of all players
(active or inactive) on current table.
- SAR is displayed on main window for your reference only; it's not used in profile decisions at this time.
- Pot Status
- Pot status is based on amount you have to call in order to stay in.

- For example, you have AA and board shows QQQK.
If another Ace (2 outs) comes on the river, you have a better made full house.
- Penalty
- For each one less out for a drawing hand, select how many penalty% to deduct from base point count on Flop and Turn.
- For example, you have KsQs and board shows Td9s5s.
You have one less out for a straight since Js makes a flush.

- The Blue light means you have a good hand and you should Bet or Raise in most situations.
- The Green light means you have a strong hand and you should Bet or Reraise in most situations.
- The name of the current profile is shown below the traffic light.
- The default profile name has white text color, and auto-switched profile name has yellow text color.
- The deception icons (poker faces) are displayed above the traffic light.
- The deception icons are activated when current profile decides to bluff, check-raise, slowplay, protect small/big blind, steal raise, resteal, and follow-through.
- The Blue deception icon indicates that the profile suspects a steal raise from late/button player and
you should protect your blind by calling.
- The Green deception icon indicates that you have a weak hand but should play it strong.
These types of deception plays include pure bluff, steal raise, resteal, and follow-through bets
- To simplify, if you see a deception icon the profile is suggesting that you should play your weak hands strong, and your strong hands weak.

The sit out is triggered when your chip <= $40 ($100 - $2*30).
- Auto adjust when winning by n bb
- If enabled and your chip > buy-in, the loss limit is adjusted up by n big blinds.
- For example, let's say you're winning $20 and have $120 in the example above.
If your auto adjust is set at 30 bb, the sit out is triggered when your
chip <= $60 ($120 - $2*30).
- Once the loss limit is set, it never goes down until you:
- Click Stop/Start Watching button.
- Or change any of the settings from Auto Sit Out Setup dialog.
- Win Limit

The sit out is triggered when your chip >= $160 ($100 + $2*30).
- Auto adjust when winning by n bb
- If enabled and your chip > buy-in, the win limit is adjusted up by n big blinds.
- For example, let's say you're winning $20 and have $120 in the example above.
If your auto adjust is set at 30 bb, the sit out is triggered when your
chip >= $180 ($120 + $2*30).
- Don't adjust if winning more than n bb
- If enabled, the win limit is not adjusted when your chip reaches n big blinds or more.
- For example, let's say you're winning $220 and have $320 in the example above.
If your "don't adjust" is set at 100 bb, the win limit remains at $360 ($100 + $2*100 + $2*30)
as long as you are winning $200 (100 bb) or more.

- Please note that the program checks whether or not to sit out after it advices you to Fold.

auto sit out may not occur for several hands or more.

- Although we recommend at least 1024x768 screen resolution, the bigger the better;
ideally you want to see both the game window and Inspector window.
- Here are some tips for small screens:
- If your computer allows, increase the screen resolution via Control Panel->Display->Settings.
- Re-arrange the windows so at least your seat area and board cards are fully visible (you can drag the top/bottom edge of Inspector window to make it smaller).
- You can Minimize Inspector window and you'll be able to hear the recommended action...but obviously you won't be able to see stats, etc.
- You can just get a bigger monitor, or have a dual monitor setup by attaching second monitor to your computer.
- Please regularly backup your profiles. There's nothing we can do once you lose your profiles.
