In
addition to Equity/Win/Tie
%age's, PokerCruncher shows you each player's hand histogram:
how often each player makes OnePair, TwoPair, 3OfAKind, etc.
PokerCruncher also shows you the winning
hand's hand histogram. You can use this
feature to see what the expected best hand is for
example if 5 players with random
hands go to the river.
Screenshot Example
JT-suited has flopped an open end straight
draw and a backdoor flush draw against AA and KK. As you can see,
JT-suited's Equity is about 38%, and the hand histogram
shows how often
JT-suited will make a Straight, Flush, OnePair, TwoPair, etc. by the
river.
Positive equities (10% or more above breakeven equity) are colored green; negative
equities (10% or more below breakeven equity) are colored red (actually, orange);
breakeven equities are colored yellow.
Equity
Equity is a player's % ownership of the
pot. It's the sum of the player's Win %age and the fractional
ownerships of the pot that the player has in ties with other players.
Equity's add up to 100% but Win%'s usually don't (because of ties). We
usually think about Win %age, but Equity is really the more
important stat.
Consider the example: AA vs. AA. Win %age for both
hands is only around 2.2% (when they make a flush
using a
single Ace). But the hands tie about 95.6% of the time and each hand's
equity
is 50%.
%age's and n:1 Odds
PokerCruncher can show all stats as %age's
or as n:1 odds
(against);
"n:1F" means "in favor".
The ":1"
button toggles between the two. The second picture on the
right shows n:1 odds.
2-Color or 4-Color Cards
PokerCruncher has a 2-color
or 4-color
cards (saved) setting in the Menu so you can set your card and suit
color preference.
Setting for Number Of Simulations
PokerCruncher has a setting in the Menu for the number of simulations
to do (for Monte Carlo simulation).
"2 x Default"
(or higher, or Infinite) is
recommended for 3GS
devices and iPad's.
Note that there's an Infinite setting. You can stop/continue the
calculation.
Other Odds Calculators
Most other odds calculators don't show hand histograms; they only show
Win/Tie %age's, and many don't show Equity. Most other calculators also
don't show n:1 odds; they only show %age's.
