Custom DB: Your Hands, Your Edge, Your Analysis

Custom DB Hero Image

📌 TL;DR

Custom DB lets you upload your own hand history archive directly into Maxploit. Drop in a ZIP, the platform parses, processes, and analysis everything — and your private database appears right alongside the public pools. Combine it with Hero Mode to isolate your own hands from the field and hunt your leaks across three perspectives. Zero setup. Zero extra tools.


🩸 The Problem: Your Data Lives in a Silo

You have thousands — maybe millions — of hand histories sitting on your hard drive. You can run them through a traditional tracker, sure. But you're stuck in a bubble:

  • No pool comparison. Your tracker shows your stats, but never how you deviate from the population in a specific micro-context.
  • No structural analysis. You see VPIP/PFR/3B%, but you can't drill into "How does my OOP check-raise frequency on monotone flops compare to the pool when facing a 75% c-bet in 3BP?"
  • No exploitation engine. Your data just sits there. It doesn't interact with GTO baselines, EV Attribution waterfalls, or Range X-Ray decompositions.

Maxploit changes this. Your hand histories become a first-class database — identical in capability to the public pools, but containing your data.


⚡ How It Works

1. Upload

Navigate to the Hand History Hub and hit Create New Database. Drag and drop your ZIP file — that's it.

Maxploit's backend fires up a high-performance parser that automatically detects your poker site (PokerStars, GGPoker, CoinPoker, and 6 more), extracts every feature in real time — bet sizes, board textures, position types, nuts detection, EV attribution — and writes optimized database for sub-seconds queries.

You don't configure anything. No site selection, no format mapping, no column alignment. Maxploit handles it.

2. Process

Maxploit runs your data through multiple layers of analysis engine in the background — building optimized indexes, pre-computing aggregations, and preparing every feature for instant access. A typical 500K-hand database is fully processed in 1–3 minutes. Your data is encrypted, isolated, and never shared with other users.

3. Analyze

Your private database appears in the database selector with full access to every Maxploit feature — exactly like the global pools:

  • Strategy Matrix — Full action frequency matrix with EV Heatmaps
  • EV Attribution — Multi-street profit breakdown
  • GTO Deviations — Where your pool diverges from equilibrium
  • Range X-Ray — Hand class, draw, and showdown decomposition
  • Texture Breakdown — Board texture aggregated analysis at a glance
  • Debiased Range — True range reconstruction beyond showdown bias

Every panel, every filter, every drilldown — it all works on your private data, identically to the global databases.


🦸 Hero Mode: Three Perspectives, Zero Extra Queries

This is where Custom DB becomes a genuine weapon.

When your own hands are in the database, Maxploit can separate your actions from the rest of the pool. Activate Hero Mode from the perspective dropdown and instantly switch between three views:

🟠 Hero OOP

Your OOP play vs the pool's IP play. See how your defense frequencies, check-raise tendencies, and donk strategies compare to the field when you're out of position.

🔵 Hero Leaks

Your play on both sides — Hero vs GTO. The theory match. This is the purest leak-hunting view: see your own tendencies isolated from the noise of the field.

🟢 Hero IP

Your IP play vs the pool's OOP play. Isolate your c-bet frequencies, barrel strategies, and how aggressively you exploit position compared to the population.

Switching between all three perspectives is instant — no additional waiting. Just click and compare.

The Leak-Hunting Workflow

  1. Open your private database in the Strategy Matrix
  2. Select a spot — say, CO vs BB SRP on the Flop
  3. Switch to Hero OOP — you're the BB. How does your check-raise frequency compare to the pool?
  4. Switch to Hero Leaks — your play on both sides. Where do the numbers diverge from GTO?
  5. Switch to Hero IP — now you're CO. Are you c-betting wider or tighter than the field?

Each switch reveals a different layer of your game. Within minutes, you can identify systematic patterns that would take hours of manual review in a traditional tracker.

🎯 Who Is This For?

Grinders who want to find their own leaks. You've been playing 50NL for six months. You have 500K hands. Upload them, activate Hero Mode, and within 10 minutes you'll know exactly where your strategy diverges from the pool — and whether those deviations are profitable or bleeding EV.

Coaches who want to analyze student data. Upload a student's database, open the Strategy Board, and walk through their tendencies node by node. Compare their Hero OOP frequencies against the pool. Show them exactly where they're over-folding or under-bluffing — backed by data, not intuition.

Stables group leaders who want a shared pool. Combine hand histories from multiple players into a single upload. The merged database becomes your group's private population — a controlled dataset for collaborative analysis.
