Re: Kill Phil Calculator
I bought the book as well and am considering the charts. Are the charts worthwhile in addition to the charts posted here?

Re: Kill Phil Calculator
Hmm, why arent those lookup charts in the book to begin with? I was considering buying the book, but it sounds rather incomplete/less usefull if there isnt a quick way to lookup stuff in it.

go buy the book and the charts [/ QUOTE ] Just for the record, I too bought the book and ordered the cards as a direct result of seeing your chart. Now that the official cards are available I'll mention that your chart, good as it is, is more complicated than it needs to be. A couple examples: Since group 1 and 2 hands are always played the same way, they could be combined in the chart. Medium >4x CPR Raised by M, L, SB are identical and could have been combined. I haven't received my strategy cards yet but assuming they use a more compact form, there is a reason to buy them. |

I'm pleased to learn that it was actually a sophisticated effort at bot-thwarting on my part [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. |

Re: Kill Phil Calculator
I wrote a version in Excel/VBA which would be difficult to turn into a bot. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Also a lot simpler than C++ for us applications guys. |
