Excellent analysis, Eric.
"The range calculator" = software programme?

Thanks Nietzsche.

Yes, the "range calculator" is a piece of software I wrote to help myself and a few others analyze ranges on particular boards. It breaks down a range into "this % is 2-pair, this % is straigth-flush draw" etc.

If you want access, PM me.

FYI, the same thing can be done by hand, albeit a bit monotonous. The trickiest part is simply learning to pay attention to how the board / dead cards effect the number of combinations (ie AK = 16 combos normally, but with an Ace on the board there are only 12, and with AK on board, there are 9). It takes a little practice, but it's very doable, and really helpful to your game IMO (as you see from this post!).

good luck.
Eric
