Overview
- It is written in Java, which means it can run on Windows, Mac and Linux machines without any problem.
- It makes use of multi-core CPUs to increase the speed of the simulations. See the Developer Guide for details.
- It supports 5 poker types: Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 5-Card Omaha and 5-Card Omaha Hi/Lo.
- It's open source. You can checkout the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/SoboLAN/pokerenlighter-simulator.
Its main disavantage is that it finds percentages using brute force, not fancy mathematical formulas.
Although this shouldn't have any significant effect on the results themselves, it negatively affects performance.
I considered this to be a reasonable compromise. In return, more poker types, simulations and features can be easily included in the program.
