Holdem Equity Calculator With Hand Ranges On Noted Poker Authority

ExMember,

Thanks for the great suggestion. It’s so great that I was already planning to do exactly that! Look for it soon. (I’m thinking about doing it like this… after each unit in the range you can have a :%% value such as AA-TT:75,AK:25 which would mean that you’d expect him to play AA-TT this way about 75 percent of the total times dealt it and AK about 25 percent of the total times. If you would prefer a different mechanism, let me know.)

After that’s built, I plan to add some stock player “models” that will assign percentages for each of the 1326 hands that relate to how often they’d play the hand preflop. So “Tight Early Raiser” might have 100 for KK but only 30 for 44, say. And “Blind Stealer” might have 100 for both KK and 44 and maybe 50 for J9o. I don’t know what the exact numbers should be yet, but that’s my idea. Then you could filter all your ranges through these models. Like you could say, **:LooseBigBlindCaller which would say that your opponent currently has a random hand, but he’ll call with the frequency of a loose caller in the big blind.

Just some ideas I’ve had for improving the tool. Obviously these would all be add-ons and you could always use the tool in its current vanilla form if you wanted.

Tivo,

The short answer is, yes, it’s counting AdKd as the 34th combo. It’s only really “wrong” in the instance you presented where the 2nd range only has one option. If it were AdKd,AhKh, then there would again be 34 possible combos for your range. So instead of making what seems to me like an artificial exception for one hand ranges, I just left it so it takes only the board cards into account when it removes “impossible” hands from the range.

But when it actually calculates the answer, it will never choose a scenario where both players hold AdKd. That part works as expected. The way it works is that it will select AdKd for range 2 first (b/c it’s the shortest range) and then remove that possibility from range 1 before choosing a hand.
