Odds Calculator

Overview

Dr. Neau's Tournament Manager provides odds calculators for various types of poker.

The odds calculators can be accessed from various places:

Regardless of the game, the odds calculators all work essentially the same.

You are presented with a dialog showing the following:

Moving cards

Cards are moved by simply clicking on a card.

If you click on an unused card in the deck, it is moved to the location (either in a player hand or on the board) that is highlighted. If you click on a used card in the deck, it is returned to the deck

If you click on a card in a hand or on the board, it is moved back to the deck. If you click on a blank space in a hand or on the board, that space becomes the target for the next card.

Marking hands dead

Hands can be marked dead to indicate that the player held cards but should no longer be counted as able to win the hand. This is a more realistic option than moving the cards back to the deck...if you did that, then the odds would be skewed.

Marking cards dead

You can also mark deck cards as dead so that they aren't included in odds calculation. This is useful, for example, if the burn card was exposed. Why skew the odds with a card known to be dead?!

You can mark deck cards as dead by shift-clicking on them.
