I'm looking for basic software to test starting hands. Ideally all the draw variants including new games like drawmaha. Not looking for betting action or decision making. Simply monte carlo of say 1,000,000 starting hands played to completion, no betting.

If it doesn't exist how do I learn to create it myself?

From a programming perspective it's not that hard - you code in the rules of the game (enough that it can deal cards and judge who won). And then you code in random hand(s) generation, and count the results. You can do it in any programming language.

Of course that's for flop games. For draw games you have to either create AI to select reasonable draws, or consider all legal draws. And you have to tot up the results taking draw choices into account. Sometimes a poor draw choice will give the best result on that hand, so averaging over successful draws will be problematic.

Have you done a search on this forum? Over the years, people have posted links to sites and software. If you you don't find drawmaha software, search for dramaha or sviten. It's out there.

Start with these. Also, if you read the responses in this forum it may be evident that some of the posters have written solver software, and often if you express an interest in a PM they are willing to help you. jmo, mack.

Hi,
EluciusFTW here, author of the DeuceSevenCrunsher mentioned in the links.
Unfortunately the DeuceSevenCrunsher is not online anymore (for a couple of years already) as the hosting started to cost me some.

Anyway, I have started rewriting it in a much better way a while now, and it will still take a year or so (since I work full-time as a software developer and don't have sooo mcuh energy programming on my free time) to complete, but it will be back!

Probably gonna open-source it once I'm not ashamed of the code-base anymore :P

Cheers,
EluciusFTW.
