poker-odds

A lightweight command line tool for calculating poker hand probabilities. No dependencies. No huge data files.

Installation

# yarn
yarn global add poker-odds

# npm
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.

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

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

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:
