Unnecessary comment in my advertising thread ... but I doubt you could take mine

So let me ask you a question about the software.

I just downloaded the trial version, and I gave myself AsKs as my pocket cards, and flopped Ad Jc 9c. It correctly told me I had top pair with some draws.

But then I turned 10c and rivered Qc, yet it told me to raise because I hit a straight.

With 4 sequential clubs on the board, after flopping two of them (so anyone on a club draw would surely have stayed in, made their flush on the turn, and a possible straight-flush on the river).

Color me curious.

You also have a bug - pocket AA, flop 555 tells me that I've flopped two-pair and have a 16.5% chance of a full house.

You left out one important step. The Turn Card Recommendation. In the play by play you mentioned after you received Pocket As Ks, The Flop came Ad Jc 9c and the Turn Card was a 10c.

The Recommendation now says "You still have a Pair on 4th Street. Check (Raise if someone bets before you and you think your pair is better). If someone Raises, be mindful of what hand they could have that would beat you. If you do not have the High hand, they might. Use what you have learned about your opponents style of play to determine your betting/calling strategy for this hand."

The key here was "Check" or "Raise if someone bets before you and you think your pair is better". This is a play to see if a higher hand is there and in the event that someone raised or reraised you would be an indication of there possible flush. Obviously the software cannot know this, but can only give you warnings for certain situations. The software helps you with odds and recommendations for what is provided.

With the River Card being a Qc, The recommendation did say "You hit a Straight on 5th Street! Raise. If you do not have the High Straight, be mindful that someone else could if they are betting aggressively. If that appears to be the case, then Call."

But, notice the warning for the High hand for an agressive bettor. In this case it could be any flush or even a straight flush, however the software can only make decisions on what is provided.

You also have a bug - pocket AA, flop 555 tells me that I've flopped two-pair and have a 16.5% chance of a full house.

You are absolutely correct, and thank you for pointing this out. This will need to be corrected, but you have to admit it is pretty rare that this hand would actually happen, definately possible however.

Thank you for your questions and consideration!
