Their misunderstanding doesn't show itself very frequently, however, because the standard of open of 3 to 5xs the big blind is rarely a mistake. In general terms, I am trying to show myself a 'proof of concept.' There are a lot of people who don't really understand the concept of pot odds, the underlying reasons of standard bet sizes and such. I am pretty new at this, so I don't really know exactly what I want to do with this.

Also, can I edit the above expression to tourney_holdem_hand_player_detail.amt_ante = 0 to get all hands that were played with no antes. Will this filter the hands tab on the tournament page to remove all hands where there were no antes in play? The hand results in tournament hand section of custom reports seems to respond to the same filters that the hands tab responds to. If you want to check for any ante at all you'd want tourney_holdem_hand_player_detail.amt_ante > 0 Thanks for your help Gigabet Posts: 9 Joined: Sun 1:57 pm Wading through google is only teaching me the theoretical aspects behind DBMS or putting me way over my head in a straightforward instruction course. I don't see anything about the structure or syntax that makes sense, like in normal programming languages, seeing something new often would allow you make inferences that generally were correct. I understand the basic theory behind a relational database, but my mind won't extrapolate that model into anything practical. What tools did you use to help you learn when you were just starting with it. I am sure some of you SQL geniuses were poker players before you learned SQL. There seems something fundamentally wrong with how I am presenting the expression, but I don't know what. That won't validate, nor variations of that. My best guess of the expression is holdem_hand_player_statistics.flg_ante.

Does the naming convention matter? I did name it flg_ante, not sure if that matters or not. I am trying to create a filter that shows only hands played where an ante was posted, by the active player. I select new and this is where I get stuck. I open configure stats dialog, then click the 'holdem tournament hand' field, then navigate to the columns tab. I am trying to create a filter for the tournament hands section. I am sorry for asking this, as it seems awfully simple, I just can't seem to get it.
