Default Re: 7 Card Hand Evaluators

[ QUOTE ]
Because of that I've wrote a poker evaluator as well that is 10,000 faster than poker stove for distribution vs. distribution analysis and partial flop analysis

I call BS. It may be faster than pokerstove in very specific situations, but for the majority of analyses I doubt there's much difference.

And anything that requires a 200MB database on disk is not commercially viable except as a web application, a market which propokertools has pretty much owned. Sorry.

Anyone can generate the lookup tables required for a blazing fast algorithm, so I don't know how you claim that PokerStove "cheats" by using them, when that's exactly what you use. You can only do about a billion bitwise (and, or, xor), comparison, or iteration operations a second, and without lookup tables you'll never get a reasonable speed using any algorithm.
