Default Re: Will somebody run a Wilson Turbo Sim for me?

Hi thehilostud - So far as I know, a simulator won't give you the information you seek. At least if it does, I don't know how to use it get that information.

I remember when I was trying to figure out what a good hand would be, sitting down at the dining room table with a deck of cards, some chips, and a pencil and writing tablet. It was before I had ever played poker in a casino.

I dealt out eight hands one thousand times, keeping track of what won and what almost won for both high and low. It took me a couple of days. I wanted to know what to play and what to avoid playing. I also wanted to know how often to expect a low split and a few other specifics. 1000 eight handed deals gave me a feeling. My wife thought I was nuts.

I had, at that point never heard of a simulator.

Now it takes a few minutes to have the simulator deal out a hundred thousand hands and keep better track of the results than I did. Or I can specify a certain hand or hands and/or flop and know in a few minutes what's good and what's not good. And there is other information that simulated deals can provide.

But so far as I know, the simulator doesn't tell you how Florida's limit stakes hold up in the long term.
