Every now and then someone creates something groundbreaking; Poker Stove is one of those creations. Poker Stove is available as a free download, and no poker player should be without it.
Poker Stove - This is the be all, end all of simulation software. Poker Stove allows you to choose either a specific hand, a % range of hands, or any combination of hands, and compare how they do against another hand/hand range.
By running millions of hand simulations in seconds, Poker Stove shows you the winning percentage, and also the pot equity. Here are a couple of examples of what you can simulate:
Example 1 - AK vs a random hand.
2,097,572,400 games 0.031 secs 67,663,625,806 games/sec
Board:
Dead:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 65.320% 64.47% 00.85% 1352291878 17843919.50 { AcKh }
Hand 1: 34.680% 33.83% 00.85% 709592683 17843919.50 { random }
Poker Stove ran over 2 billion hands in .31 seconds!
Example 2 - AcAd vs ThJh, with a QhKh2c flop.
990 games 0.005 secs 198,000 games/sec
Board: Qh Kh 2c
Dead:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 50.606% 50.61% 00.00% 501 0.00 { AcAd }
Hand 1: 49.394% 49.39% 00.00% 489
In this scenario, with board cards, Poker Stove ran just under 1,000 hands to come to it's findings (it's a coin-flip).
Poker Stove is an incredibly valuable tool, allowing players to review certain hands they played, as well as giving them the ability to memorize certain odds beforehand.
