Odds Oracle 1.8.5 is out (http://propokertools.com/odds_oracle)

New this release:

Greatly improved range processing for omaha games
Dynamic syntax highlighting (bad syntax appears in red)

Thanks for your great and hard work Bachfan! I hope that everybody buys a license for the professional version! It's interesting to see how these type of programs have evolved in the last three years. Three years ago, PokerStove was the main program and there wasn't anything for PLO. Now we have The Odds Oracle and Equilab (Hold'em and Omaha versions)! Good luck, Yojimgari

Odds Oracle 1.9.0 is out (http://propokertools.com/odds_oracle)

I already inadvertantly started a mini nerd-war on this on 2+2. I'll probably post to my blog about the differences at some point. I tried to resolve via email with the equilab folks without success, but they may have changed their code in the interim. In a nutshell:

1) They are comparing their graph to a Hand vs. Hand PPT graph. This is an apples and oranges comparison. PPT has two graph algorithms - Hand vs. Hand (where all hands are in effect turned face up), and Hand vs. Range (where we know _our_ hand but the other hand(s) remain a range). Their algorithm is, for lack of a better word, Range vs. Range (where no specific hand is known - only ranges).
2) I believe the equilab graph is less useful than the Hand vs. Range graph. That said, if you are racing a specific hand vs. an opponent range, the answers should be the same. The difference occurs if you race a range vs. a range - PPT turns "our" hand face up, but Equilab does not.
3) I am not convinced their algorithm is 100% sound - I got some very counter-intuitive results with some (admittedly) contrived examples. It may well be they have fixed this since I was last in contact with them, but I cannot be in the business of debugging other people's code (especially not competitors' code).
