How do I use TexanBuddy?



Pre-Flop

After you are dealt your hole cards, choose them from the TexanBuddy card list and TexanBuddy will analyse the cards and give you its pre-flop analysis. If the cards are ranked in the top 40 possible hole card combinations available then it will alert you to this and give you the card ranking as well as the odds of another player having an equal or better hand.

As a guide if you want to play a tight game, play the top 5 ranking hands. Playing an average game play the top 10 and playing loose the top 20. If you're the dealer then you can play the top 10 in a tight game, 20 playing average and 30 playing loose. Call and raise accordingly.



Post-Flop

If you're still in the game after the flop then select the three flop cards in TexanBuddy and also the number of opponents in the hand. TexanBuddy will then perform several million calculations to work out the odds of your hand.



If you're still in the game after the turn card then select this card from the card list. TexanBuddy will then continue to calculate your odds of your hand.



Finally, if you're still in the game after the final river card then select this card from the card list. TexanBuddy will now calculate your final odds of winning your hand.



Once the hand is finished, click New Hand to start over again.




Features of TexanBuddy

Number of Outs

The higher the number the more possibilities of you making a hand.

Hand Strength

This advises you of the current strength of your hand. The maximum is 100% and the higher the percentage the more chance you have of winning.

If the Hand Strength is 100% then you have the best hand possible (The Nuts) and you can guarantee a win!

If you hold a hand with a percentage greater than 90% then it's worth raising. Above 50% and it's worth calling. Obviously you can change the way you play and call only on hands greater than 80% strength for tight play.

Win Odds

These are the odds of the current hand you hold from winning the pot. This differs from the hand strength as it gives the potential odds for when the river card is dealt. Therefore you can see the potential of your hand and see if it's worth staying after the flop or folding your hand.
