This data is collected using the same information you receive while sitting at the poker table. Poker Indicator does this for you, by reading the log files supplied by the online poker rooms themselves. The advantage of relying on Poker Indicator is that it actually remembers all the precise player and table activity, and automatically tabulates it for you. Top professionals have amazing card memory - so can you!
Gms: Number of games tracked for that player. By this you know how representative the stats are.
Balance: The dollar amount that this player is up or down for all hands tracked for the current session. It is very interesting to observe how different playing styles (see Flop%, Shdn% etc) correlate with winning or losing patterns. Also, the balance may represent additional useful information regarding the player's current mindset (who is more likely to 'play it safe', who is getting desperate, who is about to 'go on tilt' etc). Due to technical difficulty, sometimes the balance value might not be accurate on some sites.
Flop%: The percentage of games where this player saw the flop (over the entire number of games played). This is the primary indicator of where this player falls in the tight/loose scale, and is very useful in putting your opponent on a range of hands.
Shdn%: The percentage of games where this player stayed in all the way to showdown (over the entire number of games played). This is another extremely useful piece of information, especially when combined with the Flop%. A small difference in the two, for example, 70% Flop and 58% Showdown, indicates that this player is prone to calling a lot and chasing long-shot possibilities (AKA 'fish detection').
ShdnWon%: The percentage of showdowns that this player actually won. A high percentage shows that the player know which hands are worthy of a showdown and has a good feeling of whether his opponents are bluffing or not (and vice versa).
The row with red color is the data for yourself.
Play money and real money data are tracked separately. Balance data is collected only for the current session. Flop%, Shdn% and ShdnWon% are collected historically.
Opponents Stats will be collected even you're sitting out. This data is kept locally on your computer and will be loaded automatically next time when you're sitting with the same player.
