    Default Preflop raise Pot size question

    Hello NCEdge.

    I make a definition for Pot Limit Omaha, which shows the strength of the hand depending on the different size of the preflop raise.
    Here's a hand:

    PokerStars Hand #000899616974: Omaha Pot Limit ($100/$200 USD) - 2021/02/13 23:18:01 UTC
    Table 'PKDOM_IDNP_OMH89' 6-max Seat #3 is the button
    Seat 1: Z226EZ05 ($4832 in chips)
    Seat 3: JUNI772 ($3420 in chips)
    Seat 6: ION7TIGAFF ($3692 in chips)
    # {"gt":"PLO","tn":"PKDOM_IDNP_OMH89","tid":89,"pn": {"0":"Z226EZ05","2":"JUNI772","5":"ION7TIGAFF"},"p ids":{"0":938414038,"2":726904758,"5":167349235}," room":"Idnp"}
    Z226EZ05: posts the ante $20
    JUNI772: posts the ante $20
    ION7TIGAFF: posts the ante $20
    ION7TIGAFF: posts small blind $100
    Z226EZ05: posts big blind $200
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to Z226EZ05 [Ad 2d As Jh]
    JUNI772: calls $200
    ION7TIGAFF: calls $100
    Z226EZ05: raises $660 to $860
    JUNI772: folds
    ION7TIGAFF: folds
    Uncalled bet ($660) returned to Z226EZ05
    Z226EZ05 collected $640 from pot
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot $660 | Rake $20
    Seat 1: Z226EZ05 (big blind) collected ($640)
    Seat 3: JUNI772 (button) folded before Flop
    Seat 6: ION7TIGAFF (small blind) folded before Flop


    $860 is maximal possible raise there, but test show me this:



    81%?

    JUNI772: calls $200 on BU + ION7TIGAFF: calls $100 on SB + Z226EZ05 BB + 3x ante $20 = 660.

    So Z226EZ05 "Call" on BB + POT = 200 + 660 = 860. Why 81%?

    Am I wrong somewhere?

    Perhaps the reason for this behavior can be understood from these two hands, played by almost the same composition of 3 people:

    Seat 5: CUBACUBA (big blind) collected ($4888)



    Test show 100% Pot Raise:

    Seat 5: CUBACUBA (button) folded on the Flop
    Seat 6: HAPHAP1 folded before Flop (didn't bet)


    Test show 81%:




    Since a pot-sized raise is "Call" + (Call + Pot size before call) I suspect that maybe NC does not interpret the mandatory blinds bet (SB / BB) as "call"
    and the player's pot raise in these positions is considered wrong? At least in Seek, I have looked at more than 50 hands in a row with a definition that shows only 100% raise, and I never saw the position of SB or BB.

    NCEdge - can you check this, please?

    Hi FALOs,

    If you made the maximum raise size in a pot-limit game and NC is saying it's an 81% pot-sized raise, it seems to me that maybe there is a bug in the NC calculation. I have created a ticket for the developers to have a look at it. I'll update here once it's addressed.

    Thank you for reporting it.

    Hi NCEdge,
    glad you're back!

    Since my messages sometimes look quite voluminous, because I post hand istory, etc., just in case I want to draw your attention to this, maybe you did not notice, but this significantly narrows the search for the cause of the problem :
    Since a pot-sized raise is "Call" + (Call + Pot size before call) I suspect that maybe NC does not interpret the mandatory blinds bet (SB / BB) as "call" and the player's pot raise in these positions is considered wrong?
    It looks like the problem is really only with the blinds (possible Post Dead also), and the program does not take into account that the bet has already been made.

    Hey, NCEdge,

    (possible Post Dead also)
    I've verified this - yes, the issue applies to Post Dead as well. In general, the problem can be described as follows:
    The formula for calculating the size of the raise in relation to the pot does not take into account the player's mandatory bet (Bllinds / Post Dead)


    Regarding Post Dead, this option is common in some HM-supported Asian game rooms.

    Some of them even don't have "Wait for BB", so such hands is norm for this rooms:

    Therefore, it would be wonderful if the developers RETURNED this option, as it once was in NC. :
