I am trying to keep track of the pot for my calculations but there is a tiny difference I can't see that happens in 2% of the hands, can you help me to spot it?

here I add a simple example:

 pot 0 maxraise 0 Table 'Asterion IV' 9-max (Play Money) Seat #2 is the button
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 1: Sever314 (1000 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 2: .canche900 (9642 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 3: Dimusik1978 (1631 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 4: HSPaulo (614 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 5: Adorno1961 (742 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 6: Gaston4315 (2530 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 7: dan321em (880 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 8: meckenheim (786 in chips)
 pot 0 maxraise 0 Seat 9: fresa (3006 in chips)
 pot 5 maxraise 5 Dimusik1978: posts small blind 5
 pot 15 maxraise 10 HSPaulo: posts big blind 10
 pot 20 maxraise 10 Sever314: posts small blind 5
 pot 20 maxraise 10 *** HOLE CARDS ***
 pot 30 maxraise 10 Adorno1961: calls 10

 pot 50 maxraise 10 dan321em: calls 10
 pot 60 maxraise 10 meckenheim: calls 10
 pot 70 maxraise 10 fresa: calls 10
 pot 1060 maxraise 995 Sever314: raises 985 to 995 and is all-in

 pot 5653 maxraise 0 HSPaulo: shows [Ah 9s] (two pair, Aces and Nines)
 pot 5653 maxraise 0 HSPaulo collected 2975 from main pot
 pot 5653 maxraise 0 *** SUMMARY ***
 (dataformat.cpp:101) POT 5653 should be 5658!!!

I add the calls directly to the pot and I sum the raises with the difference to their previous call, the current process to track the pot is something like this:

//if posts: num>maxraise?maxraise=num, player.lastcall=num, pot+=num
//Thanks Herb Wolfe for spotting this error (ante should not be considered as lastcall)
if ante: pot+=num
if blind: num>maxraise?maxraise=num, player.lastcall=num, pot+=num
if calls: pot+=num, player.lastcall=maxraise
if bets: pot+=num, maxraise=num, player.lastcall=maxraise
if raises: pot+=num1+(maxraise-player.lastcall), maxraise=num2, player.lastcall=maxraise
if uncalled bet: pot-=num

EDIT I changed the examples to reflect the missing errors

  • The pot totals don't look correct after the raises. Are you sure your formulas are correct? – Herb Mar 13 '16 at 2:43
  • pot 31 maxraise 10 isidore1970: calls 10 pot 79 maxraise 50 Male0808: raises 40 to 50 <-- Here, the post should be 76. small blind calls 5 to make it 36, then raises 40 to make it 76. – Herb Mar 13 '16 at 3:17
  • @HerbWolfe I am not sure I made it myself but this is the one that have worked better, the difference is some number close to the small and big bets. Still I'm not sure what's left that I am missing. – shuji Mar 13 '16 at 3:17

    pot 190 maxraise 40 paparick13: folds pot 450 maxraise 270 incanto-111: raises 230 to 270 <-- This should be 460. call of 40 to make the pot 230, then the raise of 230 makes it 460. – Herb Mar 13 '16 at 3:18
  • @HerbWolfe You are right about that, I was taking the ante as their previous call. – shuji Mar 13 '16 at 3:51

In the first example, I think something is off when

pot 1060 maxraise 995 Sever314: raises 985 to 995 and is all-in

because Sever314 started the hand with 1000 in chips (and posted 5 as an out of order small blind).

In the second example, dan321em's call here:

 pot 105 maxraise 50 McMuddy: raises 40 to 50
 pot 105 maxraise 50 boo9365: folds
 pot 145 maxraise 50 SAD-IORIO: calls 40
 pot 185 maxraise 50 dan321em: calls 40

should only be 35 since he posted a small and big blind total of 15 out of order.

  • Thanks a lot, in the first example I think it's an error in the file, it should have been logged as he posted small and big blind. as for the second example nobody is trying to call the small & big blind sum so I will not assign it to maxraise or player.lastcall. – shuji Mar 14 '16 at 17:47
