PokerStove is a program that calculates hand equities (i.e., expected percentage of the time that each hand wins at showdown). [3] Since poker is a game of incomplete information, the calculator is designed to evaluate the equity of ranges of hands that players can hold, instead of individual hands. [4]
Poker calculators are algorithms which through probabilistic or statistical means derive a player's chance of winning, losing, or tying a poker hand. [1] [2]Given the complexities of poker and the constantly changing rules, most poker calculators are statistical machines, probabilities and card counting is rarely used.
The Probability of drawing a given hand is calculated by dividing the number of ways of drawing the hand (Frequency) by the total number of 5-card hands (the sample space; () =,,). For example, there are 4 different ways to draw a royal flush (one for each suit), so the probability is 4 / 2,598,960 , or one in 649,740.
In poker, the Independent Chip Model (ICM), also known as the Malmuth–Harville method, [1] is a mathematical model that approximates a player's overall equity in an incomplete tournament.
The fundamental theorem of poker is a principle first articulated by David Sklansky [1] that he believes expresses the essential nature of poker as a game of decision-making in the face of incomplete information.
Matched or independent study designs may be used. Power, sample size, and the detectable alternative hypothesis are interrelated. The user specifies any two of these three quantities and the program derives the third. A description of each calculation, written in English, is generated and may be copied into the user's documents.
Planning poker, also called Scrum poker, is a consensus-based, gamified technique for estimating, mostly used for timeboxing in Agile principles.In planning poker, members of the group make estimates by playing numbered cards face-down to the table, instead of speaking them aloud.
The Nurses' Health Study faced controversy based on its recommendations. The study published in 1985 that taking estrogen as a part of Hormone Replacement Therapy would lead to large decreases in risk of heart disease (a third of the risk of those who did not take supplements). [46] However, the Framingham Heart Study found the opposite result ...
