Configuration

Configuration is pretty simple.

You have the following settings:

• Board: public cards on the table. You can type them in or select them by clicking on the button.
• Dead Cards: cards that nobody still in the game has and that are not in the dealer's deck. These can be cards from players that have folded and have shown their holding.
• Number of Threads: CPU threads to run when calculating equities. Default is 4 but recommendation is to use at most 80% of your CPU threads. You will have 1 to 2 threads per core on your CPU, and it may vary per core (intel has chips that contain both performance cores with 2 threads and efficiency cores with 1 thread).
• Enumerate: enumeration runs through all possibilities giving an exact calculation. If it's not selected you will run a monte carlo simulation which will converge to a pretty decent equity solution. Enumeration is recommended for 2 players. For more than 2 players, it will depend on the ranges selected and the street but monte carlo will usually be faster.
• Calculate Turn/River Hit: if the board is a flop or turn, you have the option of seeing which upcoming cards benefit each range. This will slow it down, so it's up to the user.

Clicking on the Board or Dead Cards button will show a pop up that looks like this:

You can select/deselect each card individually or you can randomly select by clicking on the corresponding buttons below.
