View Full Version : Graphs based on session length?

I don't think this is possible now, but I think it would be a great idea and maybe someone can help me find the best way to find what I'm looking for with currently available tools.

I'd like to be able to view a graph of my results, or find my winrate somehow, after certain lengths of sessions, either based on time or number of hands.

Obviously playing too long can lead to a significant drop in focus and such. I'd like to be able to see evidence of where that drop off point is for me, and as I work on increasing the length of a good session I'd like to be able to see the specific results of that work.

The graph I'm picturing in my head would have hands (or time) across the x-axis, with the end of the graph being the longest session you've recorded. At the various points along the way the graph would show your cumulative results at, say, the 500th/1000th/1500th/etc hand of a session or at the 30min/60min/etc point of your sessions.

I'm not sure I quite worded that effectively, but this is a sketch of my thinking. This graph would show you start slow, but then have a very obvious drop off in hands played after a certain point.

It is possible. In Cash games tab, reports, click on the "ALL HANDS" box next to the filters box. You can set it by the day you played, yesterday, any date you want. then go to "graphs" and it will be for the day you set.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I know how to view graphs by dates. But I want to see overall how my play improves/worsens as a session goes along.

I suppose I could look at each days graph individually and look for general shape patters, but not only would that be way VERY time consuming and tedious, it also wouldn't be specific (only as specific as the patterns I recognize looking at a ton of graphs one by one). Also this wouldn't work for days where I play multiple sessions.

I'm probably not really explaining myself very well.

In my graph, for example, if you looked at hand #500 along the x axis, that point would represent your results for the 500th hand of all sessions combined (for whatever time frame you are looking at, this you'd filter with the all hands box).

The graph wouldn't start at 0, it would start with the combined results of your first hand of each session all together.

Obviously this sort of graph would need a good sample size to mean much (it would probably look very scattered for a while) but I'd think you could see general trends before too long.

AH, I see what your looking for. No I don't think its possible, but I like the Idea. I recommend you suggest it here (http://holdemmanager.uservoice.com/pages/5307-holdem-manger-suggestions)
