Hands Per Bounty (HPB)

By tylermathias
May 08, 08 01:43 PM

Over my first couple of nights playing here, I'd say my favorite feature (or at least the one that's most likely to hold my interest) is the detail of the profile stats.

That led me to this. An interesting thing to keep track of would be Hands-to-Bounty ratio. For sure, it would only be moderately indicative of play quality. We all know there are plenty of reckless players that over time will have a disproportionately high number of bounties, and plenty of very solid, but conservative players that will have a disproportionately low number of bounties. That said, when you eliminate the outliers (ie, once you've established that a player is solid, but not overly tight/passive), paying attention to HPB might be an interesting evaluation tool.

Thoughts?

never thought about it like that but you make a really good point.

Interesting concept tyler. I definitely fall into the latter category, and I feel that bounties by themselves give no true indication of the level of a player. Maybe down the road it might be implemented, but let's hope they tweak a few other things first like being able to resize/tile the tables and getting rid of the mandatory hand helper/calculator.

FWIW, I'm currently at almost exactly 50:1. Really small sample size, of course.
