Cliffs Version:

1. Slice is a new Equity Calculator for Omaha, Omaha 8 and Hold'em that has a bunch of cool features.
2. Download from here
3. ???
4. Profit.

TLDR Version:

I have been working on a downloadable version of the ev++ equity calculator and I have now got a version ready for public testing. This is currently Windows only however if there is enough demand, I will look at purchasing a Mac myself to port it for Apple fans.

Download from here http://www.evplusplus.com/slice/ (main page) or here (direct download).

This is a totally new equity calculator back end that I wrote to include a number of features that had been requested.

New features include:

:: Integration with HEM and PT3 :: You can connect to a HEM or PT3 database and automatically load marked hands (for HEM) or hands with notes on them (PT3).

:: Folded ranges :: By checking the box next too a players range they will be be excluded from having any pot equity but still have card removal effects taken into account for their range.

:: Board ranges :: You can now use ranges on the board. For example to get all paired flops you can specify ***{op} in the flop box

:: Weighted ranges :: A player can now have up to 4 weighted sub-ranges. Subranges are specified by syntax like:

AA,AK=30 QQ=70

Which would mean 30% of the time the player had AA or AK and the other 70% of the time they player has QQ.

:: Sidepots :: By clicking on the sidepot button you can set up side pots and specify which players are eligible for the side pot. You'll get the equity for both the main pot and the side pots in the output.

:: Aliases :: You can create aliases for different ranges and save them to use them in future calculations. There are a number of the already defined and if you have any you think should be included as a default let me know. Examples of using an alias would be something like #rd which is equivalent to AKQJ,KQJT,QJ9T....5432

:: Hand strength :: The average hand strength at showdown for a players range is calculated.


Syntax

The syntax is very similar to the online version of ev++ (http://www.evplusplus.com/poker_tools/equity_calculator/docs/) however there has been some changes. In particular the suit filters have been slightly changed. Check out Help Menu->Crib Notes for a list of the card categories and filters.

There is a Holdem Stove Mode, that should emulate the behaviour of PokerStove for the most part.

For non-poker stove mode you can now specify ranges in the following way:

:: 97+ would give you 97,T8,J9,QT,KJ,AQ
:: 97- would give you 97,86,75,64,53,42
:: 97-QT would give you 97,T8,J9,QT
:: 55- would give you 55,44,33,22
:: JJ+ would give you JJ,QQ,KK,AA
:: 5c7c-9cJc would give 5c7c, 6c8c, 7c9c, 8cTc, 9cJc


This also works for single cards:

:: K"Q-T" would give you KQ,KJ,KT (note this is the same as KT+ does in PokerStove)
:: K"Q+" would give you KQ,KK,AK



and for Omaha too:

:: "97+"** would give you 97**,T8**,J9**,QT**,KJ**,AQ**
:: "97-"** would give you 97**,86**,75**,64**,53**,42**
:: "97-QT"** would give you 97**,T8**,J9**,QT**
:: "QJT9+" would give you QJT9,KQJT,AKQJ
:: "QJT9-" would give you QJT9,JT98,T987...5432
:: "QJT9-T987" would give you QJT9,JT98,T987
:: "9764-" would give you 9764,8653,7542
:: QJT"9-7" would give you QJT9,QJT8,QJT7


and so on.

Documentation

Full documentation of all the features is on the way (and will be located here: [url]http://www.evplusplus.com/slice/docs/[/url]) but the above should help for now.

This seems really sick, and like it fills a very necessary gap in some of the tools like pokerazor that don't have quite the capabilities I've needed. I just downloaded it, and I'll give a TR when I've used it a bit.

Edit: My computer's slow so it's taking some time to load, but if this "Available marked hands" window that appears when you connect to an HEM DB is what I think it is, I'm sold 1000%.

Edit 2: I'm much less psyched now that the window loaded, and there aren't any hands in it even though I have a ton of marked hands in my DB. Time to check the manual/FAQ I suppose.

Very, very cool. Any plans to add support for stud games?

edit - wow, with the autorefreshing of HEM marked hands you'll be able to do quick analysis straight after the hand without having to type your hand/board into the calculator. This is great!

omg just worked out the range aliases!

The tool looks great!! I liked the ability to see marked hands from HEM especially.

Maybe I do something wrong but if I try to select a range of suited cards I get an error.
input for example: [A"K-T"], [K"Q-J"], [QJ]
error message: Invalid character: '[' in token 1: [a[j]c

Good luck!

It is what you think it is but appears it isn't working correctly for some reason! Which version of HEM are you using? Did you connect to the database first?

Glad you like it

Yes, stud/draw games are among the "major features" planned.

Your syntax is correct, that is a bug in the range parsing. I will have this fixed in the next day or two. In the meantime you can use

A"K-T"{ss}, K"Q-J"{ss}, QJ{ss}

as a workaround.

There is a new website for Slice up at http://sliceeq.com it has more documentation and future updates will be posted there!

There should be a new bug-fix release in the next couple days.

It is what you think it is but appears it isn't working correctly for some reason! Which version of HEM are you using? Did you connect to the database first?

I connected to the DB first, and I'm running v1.10.06a because that's the last version that pre-fetch+HUD worked for me, but I see they just released a new version since coming back from Vegas so I'll see if the new version fixed pre-fetch and upgrade if it did.

That's actually the same version that I use...Do you have Omaha Manager or only HoldemManager?

I have HoldemManager + OmahaManager.

Just a quick update, the problem ablackout was having is due to having a very large database (1MM+ hands). I am working on a fix for this right now (adding a filter-by-date option) and hopefully will have an update out later today. If it's not finished today it will be up Monday, since I'm away all weekend.

Just put a new version up that hopefully should deal well with 1MM+ hand db's (tested on a 1.7MM hand database). Fixed a couple other bugs:

- Added date filter for Marked Hands Dialog - Should fix hanging for very large DB's (Thanks for ablackouts help)
- Fixed bug with user defined range aliases - user defined aliases should now be found
- Added check for conflicts between board and dead cards
- Corrected naming and column sizing for combo count results
- [K"Q-T"] type ranges should now be working correctly (Thanks Dziurgis!)

So far this seems to be working much better than the first release I DL'd.
Great program and a fresh new look. I love it!


EDIT: Can't seem to connect to the database. Any idea why? All info seems correct

Hi Icehockeyplyr,

Could you tell me what error it is giving you when you try to connect to your DB and I can try to help you get connected.
