In the Main Popup/Preflop category, The oppurtunites for EP are smaller than the other positions. Like for example VPIP for player, has (X) oppurtunities EP, which is a smaller number than MP chances. To me this makes no sense, wouldn't EP have more chances for VPIP,Limp,PFR,Raise 1st, since ur first to act?

It depends. Imagine your play a Full Ring game and the game become 5 handed for a moment then becomes 9 handed again. In 9 handed mode, your early 5 handed game will be considered as middle one probably...

Not sure it's your issue though.

Can you attach a screenshot in case it doesn't answere the question.

I only play/datamine 6max. But I understand what u mean, if it was only 4 handed EP wouldnt be counted, right?

Say for example a table becomes 3 handed for example youll have a BB,SB & button, and if its 4 handed then it counts SB,BB,Button and CO, so basically there is no EP if its 5 handed or less.

Just to expand on that, if you were playing Full Ring heres the positions:

1) Button
2) CO
3) MP1
4) MP2
5) MP3
6) EP1
7) EP2 (UTG+1)
8) EP3 (UTG)
9) BB
10) SB

Now if the table is 9 handed there is still 2 more EP's but if the table breaks to 7 handed then again we lose EP

1) Button
2) CO
3) MP1
4) MP2
5) MP3
6) BB
7) SB

If it loses 1 more player then it will use this format as it will now interpret it as a 6max table:

1) Button
2) CO
3) MP
4) EP
5) BB
6) SB

Okay, thanks. That makes sense.
