PokerCruncher's odds calculator is completely general and lets you
calculate odds for any
Hold'em scenario. It calculates a variety of stats not just win/loss/tie
odds, and has advanced features like hand ranges and partial
simulation. It's more powerful and flexible than other odds
calculators for example the calculators on several leading poker
magazine websites (we don't want to be too specific).
PokerCruncher is a mobile app so you can run all of this powerful
analysis directly on your mobile phone anywhere, any time. PokerCruncher
doesn't access a website or server or use the internet in any way; it
does its computation directly on your mobile phone.
 | Any number of players (up to 12).
 |
Some odds calculators limit you to for example just 5 or 8
players. |
|
 | Enter specific cards for players or leave blank
(random cards).
 |
Some odds calculators require you to enter
specific cards for all players, so they can't analyze e.g. AA vs. a
random hand as PokerCruncher can. |
|
 |
For the board enter just the flop (turn and river random), the flop and turn (river random), or all 5 cards, or leave blank (all 5 cards random). |
 | Specify hand ranges (sets of hands with optional
weights) for players. More
 |
This is a powerful feature that you won't find in
most other odds calculators. Poker is all about making good
decisions based on incomplete information; hand ranges enable
you to model this. |
|
 |
Specify dead cards.
 |
Some odds
calculators can't do this. |
|
 | Fold players out of a hand at any
point. |
 | Simulate all the way to the river (normal, complete simulation of a hand) or do
partial simulation to the flop, turn, or even just the hole cards (preflop).
More
 | This is another powerful feature that you won't find in most other
odds calculators. Most other calculators can only simulate all the
way to the river and so can't tell you e.g. how often a suited
connector flops a flush draw or straight draw, or how often
AK/AQ/etc. make top pair on the flop. |
|
 | See players' win/loss/tie odds, equity%, and
hand histograms (odds for making OnePair, TwoPair, 3OfAKind, etc.). Also see the
winning hand's hand histogram, in addition to the players' hand
histograms.
 |
Most other odds calculators don't give
you this many stats. |
|
 |
See other stats like odds for draws and odds for making
top pair or an overpair (useful when you do partial simulation to the flop).
 |
Most other odds calculators don't give
you these stats. |
|
 |
Graphical display of stats, in addition to text display. |
 | Settings for the number of hands to simulate and for how frequently the Sim Results screen updates so you can tailor the simulator to your phone's
speed. Also, control what information is displayed in the
Stats screen. In addition, PokerCruncher has a Small Screen Mode setting that
formats the odds and stats so that they're easily readable on even
very small phone screens. |
 | Monte Carlo simulation; solves
any Hold'em scenario using random number generation. The results
become more accurate as you simulate more and more hands. However for postflop situations with specific players' cards, PokerCruncher does
complete enumeration of the remaining cards to compute the exact odds and stats.
More
 |
Some odds calculators don't do complete
enumeration for any situation and so aren't able to compute exact odds and stats
even for simple scenarios, like in the example below. |
|
Putting all of the features together you'll find that PokerCruncher is
more powerful and general than the vast majority of other odds
calculators. And PokerCruncher is a mobile app so you can take
this powerful calculation with you anywhere.
An Example
The animated picture on the home
page shows an example of a typical scenario you may see in actual
play: 3 players, top pair top kicker vs. top pair lower kicker vs. open end straight
draw on the flop. Here are separate pictures of this example.
Note that
PokerCruncher does complete enumeration for this scenario (which
computes the exact odds and stats), not Monte Carlo simulation, because
the flop is specified and all players' cards are specific cards (not
random cards or hand ranges).
