What's a 2bet?

On PT4 there are stats for a 2bet.
Is it calling a bet which has also been flat called?

Thanks

The first raise pre flop

^^ This. It's one of those weird terms that is never used in the real world, but trackers use the term anyway.

As opposed to a call?

ie
blinds 25/50
player5posts SB 25
player6 posts BB 50
player1: fold
player 2: fold
player3: call 50
player 4 RAISE 150 (2bet)?

etc etc

the call doesnt count as a 2bet.....has to be a raise

your example is correct

Thanks Alfie and Rudy. Loving PT4, didn't think it would be as interesting and helpful as it is. Got to look at HM2 next and see which is better.

The first raise is a 2bet whether or not the pot was limped. It could have been folded to the raiser or any number of limpers. The first RAISE is the 2bet if I'm not mistaken.

lol if you were playing a donkement and theres 8 callers and you raise, it wouldnt make it a 9bet haha....no bother caesura, im quite chuffed i got a question right

This is the usual response from people who have never used a tracker/HUD and don't believe they need one. When you first see all the info that they make available, it really is overwhelming. It really becomes more a question of what info you need the most/ at that particular time, and this changes depending upon what part of your game you're working on. Very seldom, though, do people actually see what a tracker can do and say "I don't need that".

@bigrudy i dread the day i get hem2 or pt4 and have to learn what all the stats mean and how to use them.....my head will explode haha

The key is to just go slowly and, since there is so much available, just start with the basics first. After that, it really just depends on what part of your game you'd like to work on. There are literally stats for everything you can think of, plus lots and lots more.

yeah, thats it, get the basics down then progress from there....im looking forward to getting it, so i can see all my stats like, how many hands ive played analyzing hands and all the graphs....im not a geek, but that does interest me

well I know it has been answered but the way I think of it is that the first to bet in ANY round is well the first bet lol, A raise of that initial bet is a 2 bet anyone raises that its a 3 bet and so on. Pre-flop the initial bet is already made by the big blind. we all should know this but not everyone does because I played in a bar once where the tourney director ok'd a raise pre that was less than twice the blind stating that the rulebook claims that the first bettor can bet any amount greater than a min bet. I pointed out that the original bet was made by the BB but she insisted she was right and we moved on)
