I really liked the pot odds with live tracking, and I want to ask for something very related and equally important imo: stack odds!
If 2 players are involved in a hand, my stack odds = (my remaining effective stack) / ($-already-in-pot + our combined effective-remaining-stack). This gives me the minimum equity I need if the money goes at that point. In many scenarios (often 3bet pots), this is the measure to use as opposed to pot odds to decide what to do. Here's an example:
(plo or nl) hu, blinds $1-$2, 50bb=$100 stacks. preflop, i raise to 6, he 3bets to 18, I call. So there is 36 in the pot, and each of us has 82 behind. Say he pots flop, so now there's 72 in the pot, and he has 46 behind. How do I decide if I should shove. Well, stack odds = 82/(72 + 46 + 82) = 41%. So I need 41% equity (assuming he will call my shove). Note that here pot odds are pretty much useless.
Note that if stacks were 100bb=$200, I would need 182/ (72+146+182) = 45.5% if the money were to go in on the flop.
Can we please have the option of having this with live tracking? It's extremely important, especially in plo.
Thanks.
