"Prefloper"

Let me introduce “Prefloper”. This program will help you to choose a nearly optimal preflop strategy for the most popular poker games like Texas Hold’em and Omaha (limit versions primarily). All strategies used are calculated using quite simple rules. Three calculation methods are made by Ed Hutchison and I also created my own system for Texas Hold’em.

Advantage of this program is its universality and convenience in application. The program is based on ranking systems that are not hard to use and give good, though not perfect results. On the other hand, there is no single perfect strategy in poker. To create my own ranking system I used preflop strategies from books by Ed Miller, David Sklansky, Mathew Hilger and 2+2 forum. I must say that preflop recommendations of these sources are different and it’s fine because they are made under slightly different assumption sets. Change opponents’ play just a little and the set of playable hands will change accordingly. My preflop hands ranking system gives results that lay between pieces of advice of respected poker writers. I can tell you honestly that systems used in the program are not perfect, but they are true for any ready-made poker strategy; the errors are not significant and in any case it’s much better to play with these strategies than without any strategy at all.
