You're the first person to tell me that the Deal-To-Flop feature and the additional stats are pointless or even detrimental to good poker thinking. But I can understand this; different people think about the game differently, which is what makes for good games. But note that a couple of iTunes reviewers on this app have talked about this feature favorably e.g.:
"Also, PokerCruncher has some nice displays for the odds of catching draws of various kinds which helps you to understand whether or not your opponents might have hit a flop, for example."
and,
"... one that I like is how often will your pair of 10s see an overcard on the flop (or turn or river)."
I'm not saying there's a right or wrong answer here. If I get more feedback to the effect "this is bad, get rid of it" of course I'll rethink this feature. It would be great if others could give more feedback on the Deal-To-Flop feature and the hand histogram stats and the odds for draws stats. Afaik no other odds calculator anywhere combines Deal-To-Flop and these additional stats so I admit this is a new non-standard feature.
I'm hoping I can move you into the "very satisfied" camp on the app (and off of twodimes, doesn't even have hand ranges!) at some point in some app update in the future. May take a long time, even in V.3.0 and I may have to work hard on e.g. performance or a non-Monte-Carlo exhaustive but fast technique (that can still compute this variety of stats), but, it's not supposed to be easy right

Thanks for feedback, always good to get both positive feedback and ways to improve feedback, -RJ
