When a new player joins the table, is his action immediately included in calculators?
No. PokerHound must first acquire the player’s name from hand history, at end of first hand played, before it can detect the player’s action in Chat. There is always a one hand lag before a new player’s Real-Time action is included in calculations. This fact should be kept in mind especially for +EV calculations. If a new player bets out on the first hand after joining the table, his bet for that hand will not be included in the +EV calculation.
