npm install -g poker-odds

Usage

poker-odds AcKh KdQs   # any number of hands supported
                       # use .. for random cards, .... for a random hand

# options
-b, --board Td7s8d     # community cards
-i, --iterations 1000  # number of preflop simulations to run, default: 100000
-e, --exhaustive       # run all preflop simulations
-p, --possibilities    # show individual hand possibilities
-n, --no-color         # disable color output
-v, --version          # show version
-h, --help             # show help

Use --board or -b to define community cards.

--board example

Use --exhaustive or -e to run all preflop simulations. Note that this will take some time.

--exhaustive example

Use --possibilities or -p to show all possible hand outcomes. Hand possibilities are shown by default if only one hand is defined.

--possibilities example

API

The method used to calculate probabilities can be imported and used directly in a JS/node project:

import { calculateEquity } from 'poker-odds'

const hands = [['As', 'Kh'], ['Kd', 'Qs']]
const board = ['Td', '7s', '8d']
const iterations = 100000 // optional
const exhaustive = false // optional

calculateEquity(hands, board, iterations, exhaustive)

calculateEquity() returns an array of hands with the results of the simulations:
