So after a year of dallying around with the beta Stox Combo is finally available for public release! This is a combination-counting software which tells you how likely your opponent is to hold one hand type. For example, if you thought your opponent's range was AA-QQ and AK and saw a flop of A53 your opponent will hold AA or AK 56% of the time and is four times more likely to hold AK than AA. You can search for hand types by creating groups such as "top pair and a flush draw" or by manually highlighting hands.

A tutorial on how to use the program is available here: http://www.stoxpoker.com/Bryce/StoxComboTutorial.wmv

The program can be downloaded here, and can also be found in Stox Shop: http://www.stoxpoker.com/Bryce/StoxCombo.zip

Ultimately we decided to make the program freeware. If you have any questions or experience any issues please let us know in the ongoing thread in our software forum. This is a great piece of software that fills a very important niche in poker analysis, so be sure to let your friends know about it!

I get this when I try to start the program.

To be fair, pokerazor has had a functionality like this for a long time.




looking forward to using it though

I like this a lot. Thanks Bryce.

I get the same system error when I try to run the program. Is this a driver I need to download?

Thanks

Bump.

I'm getting the same error.

System Error &H8007007E(-2147024770). The specified module could not be found.

Just PM'd The Bryce about this.

Add this http://pokerazor.com that at this time doesn't work, and I am not all that happy at the moment. But looks like possible good news; I possibly get to see how correct my calculations about the combos are, though at this point I doubt if these softwares will give me enough information.

Is it still available though, their Website seemed to be down (Pokerazor)

Hey everyone. If you're getting error messages when starting up the program the .msi file should resolve it. Unfortunately, the file is currently not available for download, so I'm saying meant things to Stoxpoker tech support to get it back up so I can link it.

The .msi version is (finally) available! This should clear up any errors: http://www.stoxpoker.com/toolchest_combo.php

How does the Stox Combo slider rank preflop hands? Is it the same as PokerStove?

"The slider interface for setting the top N% of hands orders the hands according to their preflop all-in equity versus three random hands. This rather arbitrary selection was picked because it balances the value of high cards with the value of drawing cards. It is not an absolute ordering, and depending on the specific situation you may want to edit that range of hands when doing equity calculations."

I get a "Component 'comdlg32.cx" or one of its dependencies in not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" error message

me2 and im running xp

I get the exact same error as before, System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770). The specified module could not be found.

I appreciate you guys not charging for these softwares, but the programmer should be shot for not including dependencies that it seems alot of people don't have. I would rather pay if it means I could actually use the program.

I received error 53.

Resolved. It would not let me copy the program to my desktop, just a shortcut. Random but may help someone

same, im using vista 64 bit

running xp, couldn't get it working, had to install microsoft forms and now everything works

Thanks for figuring that out man, got mine to work finally.

Bump, b/c this link fixed my "System Error &H8007007E(-2147024770). The specified module could not be found" error!

bump

I wanna try the software but I get this error when I try to start the app:
Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one if its dependencies not correctly registered a file is missing or invalid.

Get it here http://windowsxp.mvps.org/comdlg32.htm

I updated/changed it..

Now it says:
Setup cannot continue because some system files are out of date on your system. Clikc ok if you would like setup to update these files for you now. You willl need to restart windows before you can run setup again. Click cancel to exit setup without update system files.


When I click cancel it stops and when I clikc ok nothing but a restart happends.
