How much is your hand worth?
Determining the odds in a game like no-limit Texas Hold\'em can require some complicated calculations.
There many poker programs that can calculate poker odds. Most of these poker simulators use a general purpose algorithms to perform the poker odds calculations. This generic approach doesn\'t take advantage of the full range of possible optimizations. To explore the effect of global optimizations, a preflop evaluator which can fully enumerate complex preflop situations was developed. This \"zealous\" evaluator is able to compute an exact solution roughly 100 times faster than any general purpose evaluator.
