It works with board cards, dead cards as well as against multiple opponents. The calculations can be done using either the Monte-Carlo or brute-force method. We suggest using the brute force method only against a single opponent. For all other cases, we recommend using the Monte-Carlo method with 10000 rounds. These options can be found in the Evaluation window.

The preflop calculations against a single opponent is done using pre-calculated tables and is very quick (this does not take the Evaluation window into account).

Let’s have a look at a preflop example against one opponent.

We can assign a QQ+, AK range to him. In the Hero range, input h or t, and then click the button on the right of Hero. After the calculation is done, you’ll see the results in the Heatmap window.

Another example, this time with two other players. We are going to assign the 10% range to one and 20% to the other. The board cards are as follows: AcJd7h
