Interesting new free feature, I downloaded an odds calculator directly from the carbon website. It keeps poker tracker type stats including a hud option on your opponents and also gives you pot odds vs winning odds. Was wondering if anyone uses this? Anyone that doesn't have something like pokertracker should get on this asap :)

my observations questions;

1. winning odds seems to be generally overstated. Are they basically just calculating your odds of winning the hand as if your opponent has totally random cards? If not how are they calculating it?

2. For hands that you basically have no chance of winning unless your draw hits (ie 56 suited flush draw on an Ace, Jack, 7 board) I get that winning odds > pot odds is at least a call. Isn't this comparing your odds to win the hand (ie after 2 cards) and pot odds are only getting 1 card? If so should I basically be doubling the pot odds and comparing that to winning odds?

I just downloaded it as well and I have no idea how to use it. I've never had poker tracker or anything else like it.

When I click it and use it for my games all it gives me is EV and pot odds. Any ideas on how to use it?

if its working properly there should be 2 tabs on the very left, one is odds the other is stats. It sounds like you have the odds tab selected. click on the stats tab and you should see the stats for your opponents. Click the hud tab on the top right and a box should pop up, click enable hud and it will put the opponents stats directly on the table.

It's been around for a while. I find the stattracker useful. I don't use the EV calculator.
