Default [APP] Texas Hold'Em Poker Odds Calculator

Texas Hold'Em Poker Odds Calculator



Lately I have been working on a handy application for every poker player. The app is called Texas Hold'Em Poker Odds en does exactly what the name suggests, it calculates your winning odds on the poker table . The app is specifically designed for Windows Phone and features some very fast algorithms to estimate your odds. I hope you guys like it, it will hit the Market Place soon and will be free with a little advertisment. Possibly an adfree version for a small fee will come if there is demand. I am open to any suggestions, I have also been thinking about the possibility of making the free version completely ad free after an x amount of uses instead of a paid version.

Let me know what you guys think. The xap is attached to this post so everybody with a developer unlocked handset can try it out already.

Market Place Description

It is uniquely developed for Windows Phone and feautures a nice Metro-style user interface.

Add ability to scan & recognize flop/player's cards, to avoid a manual input (it's a tricky but not a rocket science 'cause of chance to use a predefined patterns). Marvin, check that stuff http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...-Sudoku-Solver , it's a really cool (and I already have ported some important parts to WP7).

However (truly) the app is useless (doesn't matter you play with friends or in casino) - you'll be blamed/shamed/banned in seconds by using this app in a real game

If you want to make a poker tool, how about a bankroll management app. Tournament and cash games, add some stats and give it the ability to back up to SkyDrive.

Ah yeah thats possible but it would be odd to use in real life right. Although I have already madr a Bradley filter which will make image recognition much more easy, detecting cards is still quite tricky. But I have seen an article about it, using a photo edit library.

Yeah thats true, but you can also use it to train yourself to gain more insight in probabilities or use it afterwards to calculate what the odds were of you winning/losing. Or you can have a friend with you in the casino who will look the odds up and signal it to you

Btw I have done that sudoku recognition, but the OCRing is a pain in the ass as Sudokus in news papers have a lot of different fonts and those techniques did not work on all fonts (we had a similar approach). However it might be working like they did it here I have not read the code, just the article. Also I have a very fast Sudoku solver which I can maybe dig up if you need it. Its already in C#.

That would be cool yes, but than for a different app I guess. As this app just focusses on the computation of the odds. A real app to track your win and losses on several tournaments will involve a whole different set up. Non the less certainly a cool idea

It could be part of a complete poker app with different tools. Odds calculator, bankroll management, casino locator with reviews, etc.
