Equity simulation library?

[mustmuck]

Is there a free one? I had a quick look through sourceforge, and there were a couple of possibilities, but is there a standard one that people are using?

Surely you're not all writing your own code for this?

all the commercial programers have to write their own, poker-eval & others are GPLed

GPL is fine with me.

poker-eval/pokersource is what I found on sourceforge. Looks like it's the current standard? twodimes doesn't allow ranges, so I assume poker-eval doesn't either?

There was a monster thread in here recently where significant progress was made in this area, I believe.


Gotta be worth a read - 7 Card Hand Evaluators

Have fun,

dave is right about the 7card eval post - nested lookups are def. the way to go, but no standard library exists as far as I know.
To work with ranges, a single opponent and post flop, you can get away with poker-eval and enumerating all cases. For multiple opponents you need either a supercomputer, or Monte Carlo simulation. Again, no shared/standard libraries.

dave, thanks for digging up that thread. Looks like a good one that'll give me some reading for the next while.

matt, pretty much where it looked like things were heading. I just didn't want to start using poker-eval and then realize find out that there was some other much better library.
