Stats by Position - Help please

[FakeLord]

I am setting the player stats and I see that there is a Position option that you can set, but I'm not sure of how it works. I read about it on the site, but I don't speak English that well. I just want to make sure of what this means:

i) Position defines which position the statistic is shown for. You can select from All Positiions, Blinds, Early (EP), Middle(MP), Late(LP). If you choose Early (EP), for instance, then statistics will be shown only from hands the player played from early position.

So, if I set a stat VPIP for Early position. Does that mean that the VPIP will only be shown for the early position or does it means the VPIP from this position will only be shown for the early players or, finally, does it means the VPIP from early position will be shown for all players?

If I set in my player stats VPIP Early, VPIP Blinds, VPIP Middle, VPIP Late. Will it show only 1 VPIP stat for everyone. The VPIP they have from the right position? If it does work that way, is it a good idea to do so?

I hope I'm making sense...lol thanks for your answers~~

When you set a stat to show in Early Position (EP) it will show the stat for that player from hands they were personally in EP. So if you have one player and VP$IP (EP) and VP$IP (LP) both displaying the former will be the percentage of the time he put money in the pot when he was in early position in the hand, and the latter will be the percentage of the time he put money in the pot when he was in late position. If you'd played 5 hands with him and he only had 1 in early position and he had 2 in late position and he raised in the early position spot and folded both of his late position spots his VP$IP (EP) = 100% (1/1) and his VP$IP (LP) = 0% (0/2). I hope that clears things up for you.

So, let say he is under the gun, it would still show both his VPIP from early position and VPIP from late position?

Is there a way for a stat to only appear at a certain position? I'd like to have his VPIP from early position show up only when he's in early position.

Yes.

No - PT3 gets its information from the hand history file, which is updated after a hand completes. That means that PT3 does not know what position the player is in in "this" hand.
