Pokercat Guide
Data Hub
Every hand you play through Pokercat is recorded automatically — the cards, the full action sequence, which engine advised what, and how the hand settled. The Data Hub turns that record into profit analytics and a searchable hand history.
Page layout
| Section | Brief |
|---|---|
| Global filters | Site, game type, position, preflop scenario and date range. They apply to everything below at once. |
| Basic parameters | Headline numbers for the filtered sample: hands, profit, and core rates. |
| Analysis tab | Charts comparing profit and behavior across engines and modes. |
| Hands tab | The searchable hand-by-hand history. |
Analysis: compare what actually wins
The Analysis tab answers one question from several angles: which strategy setup makes you the most money?
| Chart | Brief |
|---|---|
| Cumulative profit | Profit over time, split by engine or mode, so you can see trends rather than single sessions. |
| Strategy usage | How your hands distribute across engines and modes. |
| Average profit | Profit per 100 hands for each group, plus a Total bar for all hands — the fair comparison when sample sizes differ. |
| Strategy breakdown | Lives under Average profit: click any bar there to split that group by how much of the advice you actually followed. |
| Action distribution | How your lines differ between groups (more raises? more folds?). |
| Hand matrix | A 13×13 grid showing where the profit comes from by starting hand. |
Reading the numbers
Conventions shared by the analysis charts:
| Convention | Brief |
|---|---|
| bb/100 | Big blinds won per 100 hands — the standard win-rate unit. |
| Low sample | Groups under 100 hands are greyed out: the value is real, just not meaningful yet. |
| Drill-down | Clicking a bar in Average profit opens that group’s strategy breakdown right below it. |
| Engine view | A hand advised by several engines counts once under each of them, so engine samples overlap. |
| Problem hands | Hands you flagged in the history are excluded from every chart. |
How a hand is bucketed by strategy usage (drives Strategy usage, the breakdown, and the strategy filter):
| Bucket | Brief |
|---|---|
| No strategy | Reached postflop, but no usable advice was ready before you acted. |
| Not used | Advice was ready, but no postflop decision followed it. |
| Used | At least one decision matched the advice — its top-frequency or starred action; with several models running, matching any ready one counts. |
| Full | Every postflop decision followed the advice. A subset of Used. |
Hands: the searchable history
Every recorded hand appears here, with filters for engine, mode, strategy usage and VPIP-only, plus sorting and pagination. Click any row to open the hand detail drawer: the full action replay street by street, together with the strategy that was shown at each decision.
| Action | Brief |
|---|---|
| Row click | Opens the hand detail drawer with the complete replay and per-decision advice. |
| Mark as problem hand | Excludes a hand from all statistics — for misdetected or otherwise broken records. Can be undone at any time. |
