advanced equity calculations

The current equity calculations used in the hand playback could be greatly improved imo. The now problem is that it is party wothless if there are more than 2 players with significant different stacks invovled. E.g. there is me and another player with 100BB stacks and a smallstack with 20BB, who is allin on the flop. The smallstack might have nut-nut and a huge equity, let's say 90% for the main pot of 60BB. But those 90% don't matter for the sidepot that is still to be played and I would like PTO to show my equity against the other big stack. So the equities may be 6%-4%-90% for the main pot, but 70%-30% in my favour for the up to 160BB side pot, so that I still am a big favourite in total and can say to myself after a session, that I played that hand correctly.

So 2 possible options are:

1: PTO calculates the absolute EV in dollars regarding all side pots.
2: The EV calculation is done as it is now, but you can exclude hands from the calculation, e.g. by hiding them in the playback window.

I still would like to have such a feature. Maybe you can incorporate it into PT3 as soon as it supports Omaha.
