Winpoker and FVP will give the odds of making a particular hand. What I'd

extrapolate the rest, especially wild card games (too stupid, or lazy). I
was disappointed to find FVP didn't have this feature.
What I'd love is to make an Excel worksheet.
I'm doing this to compare games with similar EV's on 50 and 100 play
machines.

Just set all payoffs to zero on WinPoker, then run analyze game. Look under
"occurs every" to see chances of being dealt particular hands.

Which game should you choose?

Excellent tip, Brian! It's an obvious technique that I'd overlooked
before you suggested it. Thanks!

This is sheer brilliance. I'm hitting myself in the head saying "why didn't
I think of that"
BTW: This method didn't work with FVP (fatal exception or something), but
I'm going to try Jim's suggestion as soon as I reread it. Thank you very
much.
