NoteCaddy badges in detail

As mentioned in this post NoteCaddy 2.2, NoteCaddy now has a feature called badges.  The idea is to display notes in your HUD without having to view any popups.  Since space in the HUD is very limited, showing an image that represents a player's tendency is a more effective way to get this done.  12 new definitions have been added to the definition digest

1. Calls Double Barrel Weak This definition will create a badge for players who call raises pre flop, flop continuation bets, and turn 2 barrel bets (in the same hand), with a range that is significantly weaker than the player pool's average
2. Calls Steals With Wide Range This definition will create a badge for players who call steal attempts (an open raise by the cutoff or button player) from the small blind or big blind with a range that is significantly wider than average.
3. Checks Strong Hands in Three Bet Pots This definition will create a badge for players who check the flop with a significantly stronger range than average in 3 bet pots.  Whether or not the player performed the 3 bet or called the 3 bet is immaterial for this definition
4. Donk Bets Flop Weak This definition will create a badge for players who call raises pre flop and then bet out of position on the flop (donk bet) with a range that is significantly weaker than average
5. Folds To Cbet On Ace High Often This definition will create a badge for players who fold to continuation bets on ace high flops significantly more often than average 
6. Folds To Cbet On Wet Boards Often This definition will create a badge for players who fold to continuation bets on weat flops (boards where a straight and/or flush is likely to become possible or already possible) significantly more often than average 
7. Half Pot River Is Nuts This definition will create a badge for players who bet around half the pot with very strong hands on the river
8. Passive Play Means Strong This definition will create a badge for players who play passively (abstaining from betting or raising) until the river with a hand range that is significantly stronger than average.  This is also referred to as slow playing.
9. Profitable In 3 Bet Pots This definition will create a badge for players who earn significantly more profitable than average in 3 bet pots.  Whether they made the 3 bet or called someone else's is immaterial for this definition
10. Steals Heros Blind This definition will create a badge for players who attempt to steal the hero's (your) blinds significantly more often than the player pool's average
11. Three Bets Hero Often This definition will create a badge for players who 3 bet the hero (you) significantly more often than the player pool's average
12. Two Barrels Weak This definition will create a badge for players who fire a second barrel with hands that are significantly weaker than average

These definitions are constructed using the new "advanced" tab.  If you are interested in making your own, here is a step by step tutorial for creating a badge for players who 3 bet 30% more often than average.

On the General tab, I've set the following values:

Name This can be anything but more descriptive is always better

Description you can see I used the variable $successversusaverage.  This will show a value like +5% or +80% to show how much more often than average this player 3 bets.  This variable can be used for any definition as long as you do not have "do not take notes for missed opportunities" selected.  Of course this value can also be negative if someone 3 bets less than average.  I also used the variable $cardrange which will help us keep track of the range that this player showed down after 3 betting.  This isn't required but is a good thing to know.

Define opportunities by action Setting this will create an x/y stat where x = the number of times three bet and y = the number of times this play faced an open raise and therefore could three bet.  Always use this option when you are making a definition that shows quantitative data

Badge Here we can pick any of the existing icons or choose our own via the option at the bottom.  If you want to pick your own make sure it's no bigger than 16x16 and has a transparent background (preferably PNG format but gif works also)

The next tab is Pre flop->actions.

Here we will simply set all of the different 3 bet sizes as possible actions.  Since we don't care about the actual raise sizing, this will cover every possibility.

In the Advanced tab, we only need to set two values.

Difference in instance/opportunity as a percent.  I set the minimum to 30 which means it has to be 30% higher than the player pool's average.  Leaving the maximum as 0 means it will be ignored so it can be any number greater than 30.  Keep in mind that if the player pool 3 bets 5% on average and this player does so 15%, the number is 200.  This is percentage, not percentile points.  Please see http://xkcd.com/985/ for more details.

Minimum Instances If someone just sat down and 3 bet 100% of the time, that is not necessarily indicative of a player deserving a badge.  As such I have set the value to 5 meaning this player needed to have 3 bet 5 times at a minimum for this definition to be considered.  You could set this even higher potentially.  One thing to consider is that if you're requiring a showdown to have occurred, you could set this value lower as showdowns say much more than just stats.
