Finally found time to fiddle with an interactive trainer idea.
This is another early user interface concept test, it’s really passive, but may help some see more clearly how the opponent’s prospects change along the way.
Attempting to address an issue that deserves a bit more attention, this one shows the winning card odds in graphical form, based strictly on what is displayed on the flop-turn-river. Too often one focuses on how these cards add to the value of your hole cards, while it’s equally important to project what hands your opponents may end up with.
Check “Guess the odds” box to bring up a quiz stage at the river, you then click on the graph to show your estimate of the odds. The error scoring is a simple total of percentage mis-matches. This trial version has a small fixed pre-calculated data set, for a 10 player table. These stats don’t take into considerations player folds before the river, it’s showing the likely best hands, should all hands play out.
Sorry, no odds calculation tips are given here, the module should still be useful for those less mathematically inclined, who play by the seat of their pants, this sort of exercise may speed the development of an intuitive sense for the odds based on experience.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated…
Your suggestions and feedback will help shape the future of any more useful, refined version of this application.

Wow! Excellent program. I will be utilizing it for sure. Thanks for posting it at Poker Strategy Forums!
