Version Release History

Our Apps Keep Getting Better ...

PokerCruncher - Advanced - iPhone

Back To Top

Version 16.1.1 (Released Sep. 26, 2024)

Some small UI improvements:

1) Show a one-time informational alert when you use the “Set Deck Card Dead/Live” button for the first time, to better explain how to set dead cards. Thanks to customer Heather K. for writing in about this.

2) Set the text size of the toolbars’ buttons in a cleaner way, so that the toolbars don’t overflow if you set the iOS system text size setting to a very large text size.

3) Change the app’s display name on the home screen to “PokerCruncher”, from the abbreviated name “PkrCruncher”.

Version 15.1.1 (Released Apr. 17, 2022)

A UI freshen-up and maintenance update for the latest versions of iOS, and some other small UI improvements.

1) Improve/update the look of some UI elements in a few screens on the latest versions of iOS, e.g. the card deck in the main screen.

2) In the Hand Range Editor screen, when edit a hand range, reset the range's name only if the range has actually changed.

3) Some small wording improvements in a few dialogs.

4) This app now requires iOS 12.0 or later.

Version 12.4.1 (Released Sep. 05, 2019)

Improvements for the “View Card Removal Effect” setting/feature, e.g. to the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view.

1) Add extra clarification in the UI for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting: takes *card removal effects* into account, but not *range removal effects*. So, enter a player’s specific hand as *2 specific cards* from the *card deck*, not as a (1-combo) *hand range*.

2) Add an info. alert for the above usage-case (1-combo hand range).

3) Show card removal effect in the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view (if this setting is ON): dim combos that aren’t live due to card removal effect.
* Note that these combos are still ON/OFF editable in the range (e.g. a combo can be in the range but not live).
* Also note that combos are also (slightly less) dimmed when you multi-select cells in the range grid, but this is a different dimmed meaning (multi-select) than card removal effect (the latter dimmed meaning only applies when you have exactly one cell selected in the range grid).

4) Update the Hand Range Editor screen’s Help screens and the Tutorial with these changes.

5) Make dead cards in the card deck slightly brighter for better visibility, and also do the same for the board’s non-dealt cards (cards to the right of the Deal-To setting).

6) Rename the 4x4 “Suits” view to “Hand Combos” view in the UI and the Tutorial.

Version 12.3.1 (Released Jun. 01, 2019)

Educational additions: videos and blogs, a great new recommended pro/coach: Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com), and a Coaches & Pros webpage … to help you use PokerCruncher more effectively and improve your game.

1) Links to videos and blogs on PokerCruncher (by pros/coaches) directly inside the app:

    Menu --> Help … --> Featured Videos & Blogs --> …

For example the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog by Alec Torelli are must sees in our opinion. Also see our website’s (improved) Tutorials & Videos page.

2) A great new recommended poker pro/coach:

    Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com)

Alec uses PokerCruncher in his work/analysis and has created some excellent videos and teaching material (e.g. the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog mentioned above). If you want to learn how to use PokerCruncher effectively, how to read hands and ranges better, and improve your overall game, we recommend checking out Alec's videos/teaching-material/coaching. We ourselves (including me RJ) have learned a lot from Alec's videos and teaching material e.g. his funnel system for reading hands and ranges. Do check him out!

3) A separate Coaches & Pros page on our website, and a link to this page inside the app:

    Menu --> Coaches & Pros … --> Coaches & Pros

We’re very happy that some really good pros/coaches like these guys are using PokerCruncher and have created some great teaching material. Do check them out, including our newest addition Alec Torelli.

Version 12.2.1 (Released Apr. 13, 2019)

A big user interface upgrade for iPhone X-series models … at last :).

1) All screens and views are taller and wider, and have an improved layout.

2) The screens show more info. e.g.:
* The main screen always shows the Stats view (so no need to open/close it). And it shows the scenario’s notes at the bottom of the screen.
* The Hand Range Editor screen always shows the Suits (hand combos) view (so no need to open/close it). This makes it easier to see and work with a range’s hand combos.

3) Everything is sharper/higher-res, including the card and suit icons.

Also, some small UI improvements for all iPhone models:
* Better column alignment in the Range Heat Map Details text, for better readability.
* Small layout fix in the Enter Hand Range Name screen, to the range number label.
* A few minor wording improvements in the menus and dialogs.

Version 12.1.1 (Released Feb. 24, 2019)

An edge-case bug fix for “Export All Saved Ranges”, and a wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons.

1) Edge-case bug fix for “Export All Saved Ranges”: If you had saved hand ranges with hand range names that contain special chars like “&”, the exported text was getting cut off at that point (at the special char). This has been fixed, so you can now use special chars like “&” in hand range names.

2) Wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons: Reword these menu buttons to “Export/Back-Up All Saved …”, to indicate that these menu buttons can be used to back up your saved hand ranges and saved scenarios.

Version 11.6.2 (Released Dec. 17, 2018)

An edge case “Calc” button bug fix:
* If you did repeated calc’s fast, starting the next calc immediately after the current calc ends, you could have sometimes gotten a crash. You had to be really stress-testing the app to get this; wouldn’t have happened in normal usage. In any case this has been fixed.

Also (in V.11.6.1):
* Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials.
* When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”.
* Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.
* Add the app’s name in small print at the top of the main screen.

Version 11.6.1 (Released Dec. 08, 2018)

Small improvements to keep the app in top form:

1) Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials. Today’s faster devices can handle it, giving us even more accuracy in the stats. If needed, you can use the “Number Of Sim. Trials” setting in the main screen’s Menu.

2) When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”.

3) Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.

4) Add the app’s name in small print at the top of the main screen.

Version 11.5.1 (Released Sep. 11, 2018)

New feature: undo accidental clears/resets of hand ranges in the main screen.
* Main screen: new menu button Menu --> Dead Cards, Settings, Undo --> Import Last Cleared Range (Undo). Select (tap) a player first.
* Or, long-tap on a player to bring up the player’s shortcut menu.
* Add a section in the main Help screen for this undo feature.

Version 11.4.1 (Released Aug. 28, 2018)

1) Make the batch-import saved hand ranges feature more robust:
* Retain spaces in the names of the imported saved hand ranges (before, spaces were being stripped).
* Better error handling/reporting.

2) Make the app’s splash screen cleaner, for the latest/newest version of iOS.

Version 11.3.1 (Released Jun. 18, 2018)

New feature: enter/edit scenario notes. And small wording improvements in the menus.

1) Add the ability to enter/edit text notes on a scenario.
* To view and edit a scenario’s notes, in the main screen, do Menu —> Scenario Text … —> View Scenario Text/Notes …
* Of course notes are handled in saved scenarios and exported/imported scenarios.

For example, this feature lets us record/save important info. on our key hands in real time while it’s fresh in our mind, so we can review/analyze our key hands better later.

However note that PokerCruncher is primarily an odds calculation app, not a hand tracking / note-taking app. But we’re happy to add this minimal useful note-taking ability.

2) Small wording improvements in the menus in the main screen and hand range editor screen.

Version 11.2.1 (Released Apr. 10, 2018)

Small improvement to the Hand Range Editor screen and the Range Heat Map screen:
* Write the scenario’s board cards and Deal-To setting at the bottom of these screens (on iPhone’s with tall enough screens). Seeing this scenario-level info. in the hand range screens helps us do our hand range work better in these screens.

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to customer “AlphaCrow” on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread for suggesting this improvement.

Version 11.1.3 (Released Jan. 30, 2018)

Small new features and improvements.

1) Add “Clear Saved Hand Range” menu button and subscreen in the hand range editor screen. For a selected range, you can clear both the range and its name, or just the range.

2) Screens’ top and bottom toolbar buttons: improve the buttons’ spacing and layout.

3) Make importing (parsing in) hand ranges via their text more robust: ignore a possible “Weights:” section at the end of the text (the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher has this %age weights feature). This makes importing hand ranges from the Mac-Expert version possible / fully clean.

Version 10.1.2 (Released Jul. 24, 2017)

1) Small improvements to the new section “Further Education” in the app’s main menu (“Menu” button). We've partnered with some great poker pros/coaches/teachers, who like and use PokerCruncher, to help improve your game even further; please check them out!

2) A small edge-case bug fix to advanced Deal-To-Flop stat Pair&GutshotStraight (our apologies).

Our thanks to customer Brian K. for finding the 2) bug.

Version 10.1.1 (Released Jul. 10, 2017)

1) Ensure that the app works cleanly on the upcoming iOS 11.

2) New section “Further Education” in the app’s main menu (“Menu” button) and on the Tutorial & Videos webpage. We've partnered with some great poker pros/coaches/teachers, who like and use PokerCruncher, to help improve your game even further; please check them out!

3) Some small wording improvements in some help/info screens.

Version 9.5.1 (Released Sep. 27, 2016)

A small user interface fix for iOS 10, and a new section “Featured Poker Coaches” on our Tutorial & Videos webpage.

1) Hand Range Editor Screen: Fix the sizes of the 4 Left/Right/Up/Down arrow buttons on iOS 10.

2) New section “Featured Poker Coaches” on our Tutorial & Videos webpage. These guys can improve your game; we suggest checking them out!

3) This app now requires iOS 8.0 or later.

Version 9.4.2 (Released Aug. 19, 2016)

1) Improve/fix range grid’s “Auto-Add Grid Cells” setting’s behavior.
* This setting now behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove for both taps and swipes on the range grid. Before, it behaved as a toggle for only taps, not swipes.
* This change also hopefully fixes toggle behavior for taps on devices with 3D Touch.
* Rename this setting to “Auto-Add/Remove Grid Cells”.

2) Update this app’s App Store screenshots and preview video to the latest size/format.

Version 9.3.1 (Released Aug. 02, 2016)

A couple of small user interface tweaks to make the UI clean on (the upcoming) iOS 10.

1) Hand Range Editor Screen: Fix the sizes of the 4 Left/Right/Up/Down arrow buttons on iOS 10.
2) Save/Load Hand Range Screen: Change the background color of the range picker control to make it clearly visible on iOS 10.

Version 9.2.1 (Released May 26, 2016)

Improvements to the range grid, and a small/minor bug fix.

1) Improvements to range grid’s cell selection look and behavior and add/remove cells behavior.

* Selected cells are now indicated by dimming the cells (the old method was to color selected cells orange). Using dimming lets us see the cells’ underlying color e.g. yellow (added to the range) or non-yellow (not added). Also, a small percentage of new users thought that the old orange color means “added” because it’s a bright/strong color; using dimming (which is more subdued) better conveys just “selected” not added.

* If the “Auto-Add Range Grid Cells” setting is on, a single-tap behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove.

* Keep all of the currently selected cells selected after adding/removing cells (instead of keeping just one cell selected). Lets you see which cells were affected by the add/remove, and lets you do another operation on the (same) selected cells.

2) Calculation: Take folded players who have hand ranges into account in all cases. They weren’t being taken into account when no active player (non-folded player) has a hand range. But they (correctly) were being taken into account when an active player (non-folded player) has a hand range, which is the normal usage scenario, so this wasn’t a serious bug.

This is an important and differentiating feature of PokerCruncher. The ranges of players who have folded out of the hand (select the player, then tap “Menu” —> “Fold Selected Player” button) can affect the hands and ranges and equities/stats of the active players (non-folded players), and PokerCruncher lets you model this effect of the folded players in your scenario.

Version 9.1.2 (Released Jan. 17, 2016)

Videos on how to use PokerCruncher, and a bug fix for iOS 7 and older devices.

1) Videos

* Two poker coaches have each made good videos on how to use PokerCruncher (thanks guys!). Links to the videos are on our website. Also, the app’s Menu -> “Tutorial & Videos” button takes you to the PokerCruncher Tutorial and videos. These videos use the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher, but the main concepts they discuss e.g. hand ranges apply to all versions of PokerCruncher.

* We’ve added a short 30-second app preview video (made by us) to this app’s App Store page. This video is also on our website.

2) Bug fix - Hopefully fix an app shutdown/crash bug on iOS 7 and older devices (e.g. iPhone 4S) that (only) two customers reported. The app was shutting down a few seconds after a calculation finished. This wasn’t being seen on iOS 8 or later.

Version 8.2.1 (Released Sep. 15, 2015)

A few small user interface improvements and cleanups, mainly to make sure that the app is clean on iOS 9.

1) Show “hand range has been saved as …” alert cleanly on iOS 9.
2) Improve column alignment in range heat map details text on iOS 9.
3) Stats view:
* Center the “Player (x)” title horizontally.
* Reword “Over Pair” stat to “Overpair”.

Version 8.1.2 (Released Jun. 10, 2015)

A small bug fix and cleanup update.

1) A deal-random-cards bug fix: When dealing random cards to only the selected player (using long-tap on the player), the player’s existing cards sometimes weren’t being returned to the card deck correctly. This bug is now fixed (was introduced in the previous update V.8.1.1).

2) Don’t use unnecessary abbreviations in the UI, e.g. write “Players” not “Plyrs” in the Reset menu.

Version 8.1.1 (Released Feb. 03, 2015)

Big user interface improvements, and some small new features.

1) New, modern UI theme across entire app.

2) Cleaner and more modern app icon.

3) Improve range heat map details text (e.g., sorted list of hands, better column alignment).

4) Ability to deal random cards to just one specific player. Long-tap one of the player’s card fields to bring up the player’s shortcut menu, then tap the “Deal Random Cards” button.

5) This app now requires iOS 7 or later.

Further Details:

1) Some small additional UI improvements, e.g.:
* Small layout and font size improvements.
* Improve the appearance of highlighted (tapped) buttons (remove the highlight-glow, dim the buttons instead).
* Make the UI adjust cleanly to in-phone-call mode on all configurations: iOS 7, iOS 8, all device screen sizes.

3) Improve range heat map details text:
* Show a sorted list of all hands at the bottom (sorted on Equity).
* Clarify the wording of the handling of card and range removal effects. No changes to stats/functionality.
* Use commas to separate the fields, and use tabs to align the columns better.
* Small bug fix: If there’s exactly 1 assign-able hand combo in a cell then the specific suits of the hand combo were sometimes being written incorrectly; write the suits correctly. This was just a printing error; didn’t affect the stats.

Version 7.4.1 (Released Nov. 17, 2014)

1) Fix an edge-case hand ranges equity calculation bug.  Details below.

2) Increase (double) the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials; gives more accuracy.  You can control the number of trials with the setting Menu —> Settings —> “Number Of Sim Trials”.

3) Small wording and help info. improvements.

Details:

1) This bug required the scenario to have 3 or more players, and 2 or more hand ranges, where the hand ranges and player and board and dead cards are highly overlapping with very few live hand combos available for assigning.

This wasn’t a bug that one would encounter in “normal” usages of the app, e.g. if there’s only 1 hand range in the scenario, or if there are many hand ranges but many hand combos are live and available for assigning.

It took 5+ years for this bug to be seen/reported.  Thanks jdr0317 on the TwoPlusTwo poker forums for finding/reporting this bug!

Version 7.3.1 (Released Aug., 2014)

Small UI improvements to ensure that the UI will be clean under the soon to be released iOS 8.

* Show scenario text, heat map details text, and some Help info. text in full screens instead of in small alert views.
* Shorten and clean up some alert views’ messages.
* Some other minor UI improvements, e.g., use a space in “Export (Email)”.

Version 7.2.1 (Released Jun., 2014)

A big update:

1) New features:

* Main Screen: Long-tap a player’s card/range field to bring up the player’s shortcut menu. This new menu lets you do some important operations faster e.g. fold/un-fold a player, load a saved hand range onto a player (without having to open the hand range editor screen).

* Hand Range Editor Screen: New mode “bottom x% of hands” for the range slider (in addition to the already existing “top x% of hands” mode).

2) Improvements to existing features, e.g., flop hit stats. Details below.

3) UI improvements, e.g., to the main screen, stats view. Details below.

Thank you customer “A.M.” (initials) for suggesting most of the UI and hit stats improvements.

Details:

2) Improvements To Existing Features
====================

* Flop Hit Stats: Improve the definition/meaning of flop hit stats and Top/Middle/Bottom-Pair stats. For example, before, if the selected player has A2 and the flop is AKK (suits don’t matter), the selected player didn’t get credit for hitting OnePair (or TwoPair); now he gets credit for hitting OnePair. Now, he *makes* TwoPair, and *hits* OnePair in this case. He also gets credit for TopPair. Other similar stats and cases have also been improved/fixed.

* Tutorial: Improve the explanation of flop hit stats.

* Built-In Hand Ranges Screen: Don’t include pair cells in Broadway/Medium/Low selectors.

* Range Heat Map Screen: ViewDetails text: If a cell has only 1 hand combo then write that specific hand combo instead of the cell’s general name (e.g., write “AhKh” instead of “AKs”).

* Main Screen: Make complete enumeration calculations a little faster.

3) UI Improvements
====================

a) Main Screen:
* Move Calculate button to the right side of the screen (more logical placement, gives faster app usage).
* Improved indication of the selected card/player:
  - Show a border rectangle around the selected card (instead of dimming the card).
  - Highlight the selected player’s number.
* Show dead cards (as text) in the status text area at the bottom of the screen (on 4” screens).
* Show calculation progress bar only while a calculation is running, not when it’s finished or stopped.
* In players’ range fields, use padding on the left and right sides of the range field so the range text doesn’t run up against the sides of the field/button.
* Align players’ Win and Tie values better.

b) Stats View:
* Highlight the selected player’s number/title.
* Show the selected player’s cards graphically.
* Swipe up/down to view the next/previous player’s stats.
* Swipe left/right to view the Page1/Page2/Page3 Deal-To-Flop stats.
* Move Hit/Make stats button into Stats View (instead of overloading the Stats button in the Main Screen).
* Use spaces in stat names for better readability.

c) Stats:
* Write “0%” instead of “0.00%” for stats that have a value of exactly 0%.
* Write infinity symbol instead of text “inf” in the UI.

d) General:
* Change some small-X-circle buttons to Done buttons.
* Move Done or Cancel button to the right side of the screen if it’s the only button in the screen.
* Improve some alerts’ button names, button left/right placement, and wording.
* Improve main help screen, e.g., add a section on shortcuts (double-tap, long-tap).
* Update the Tutorial: shortcuts, flop hit stats.

Version 7.1.1 (Released Mar., 2014)

Maintenance update: small improvements and fixes, nothing major. Details below.

Details:

• Clarify the “Import Scenario” feature’s instructions: the text that you’re importing must be in PokerCruncher scenario text format.
• Reword hand range setting “Rng%age:CardRemovalEffect” to “View Card Removal Effect”.
• Terminology: say “combo” when referring to ranges’ hand combos, not “combination”.
• Add a one-time informational alert to tell new users that you can double-tap a player’s card/range field to edit a hand range. The info. alert is shown the first time you tap the “Rng” button.
• Fix appearance of popup menus and submenus on 3.5” screens on iOS 7 (or if you’re running this iPhone version on an iPad on iOS 7). This was OK on 4” screens, and on iOS 6 or earlier.
• Fix a small bug in the InsideStraightDraw Deal-To-Flop stat (was having minor effect).
• Call the app “PokerCruncher - Advanced” in ViewScenarioText, etc., not just “PokerCruncher”. This helps clarify the app for example in comparison to the Mac version which is now “PokerCruncher - Expert”.
• This app now requires iOS 6.1 or later.

Version 6.4.2 (Released Dec. 11, 2013)

Small clean-ups to the previous update:

• Small improvements to names/abbreviations of some stats.
• Small improvements to Help info.
• Small adjustments to the "Rate This App" menu button and prompt.

Version 6.4.1 (Released Nov. 13, 2013)

Summary:

• Some new Deal-To-Flop stats, e.g. TopPair, MiddlePair, BottomPair.
• Improvements and simplifications to Stats view's UI, e.g. tap/select the player whose stats you want to see.
• Improvements to hand range names, e.g. show a hand range's name more prominently in the UI.
• Support in-phone-call mode (fully for iPhone5 or later, partially for pre-iPhone5).
• Add new-size app icons for iOS 7.

Details:

1) Some new Deal-To-Flop stats:

• OnePair breakdown stats: TopPair, MiddlePair, BottomPair (on Page2 of Stats view).
• TwoCardBackdoorFlushDraw (on Page2).
• Pair&OpenEndStraightFlushDraw (on Page3).

2) Improvements and simplifications to Stats view's UI:

• New way to select the player whose stats you want to see: tap the player's card/range field. Or tap a board card to see the winning hand's stats. The Player left-arrow and right-arrow buttons have been removed.
• Don't reset the Stats view's state (viewing Page1/Page2/Page3) unnecessarily when the scenario is modified.
• Small changes to names/abbreviations of some stats.

3) Improvements to hand range names:

• Show a saved (or loaded) hand range's name more prominently in the UI:
• In the title of the hand range editor screen and range heat map screen (tap the title to view the range's name). If the range has a name, ".." (ellipses) is added at the end of the screen's title.
• In the hand range's text and scenario's text.
• Support hand range names in save/load scenario and export/import scenario.

4) Support in-phone-call mode:

• When you press the Home button while in a phone call, you're returned to the Home screen with the phone call still alive, and the status bar turns green and becomes taller to indicate in-phone-call mode (if your carrier supports this feature). You can then run the PokerCruncher app while you're in the phone call.
• On a 4" screen (iPhone5 or later), the UI now adjusts itself vertically so all screens are completely visible and use-able with the taller status bar.
• On a 3.5" screen (pre-iPhone5), all screens shift down and are mostly use-able, but some elements at the bottom of the screens are cut off.

Version 6.3.1 (Released Sep. 11, 2013)

Some small UI improvements to make sure the UI is clean going forward:

• New icons for AddPlayer and RemovePlayer toolbar buttons.
• Improve toolbar buttons' size and spacing.
• Change size of calc progress bar and num trials text.
• Improve the size of the hand range screens' diagonal grid cells' text and up-arrow button.

Version 6.2.2 (Released Jun. 06, 2013)

A small update to put some finishing touches on the previous big graphics and UI update.

• Disable the "Done" button in the hand range editor screen until you make an edit in the screen, as per iOS UI convention for "Done" and "Save" buttons.
• Adjust the "Rate This App" menu button's timing (number of app uses before it's shown).

Version 6.2.1 (Released May 20, 2013)

Graphics, UI, Help info., and Menu improvements.

1) Improved (retina) card and button graphics:

• Retina cards. Simpler, cleaner, easier-to-read card design.
• Retina "Suits" buttons (in hand range editor screen).
• Retina arrow buttons (in hand range editor screen and in Stats view).
• Remove 2-color cards setting; cards are always 4-color now.

2) UI improvements:

• Make "Calculate" button blue, also the "Done" and "Save" buttons in the hand range screens.
• Better disabling/dimming of inactive buttons while a calculation is running.
• Change dead card graphics (dead cards are heavily dimmed).
• Improve the look of the small red "X" close buttons.
• Hand range editor screen: remove Cancel button's confirmation alert.
• Small adjustments to button sizes in the Built-In Ranges screen and hand range editor screen.
• Better UI robustness: handle (accidental) simultaneous button presses better.

3) Help info. and Menu improvements:

• Improve Deal-To feature's info./help popup note.
• Improve the main Help screen and the hand range Help screens. E.g., add Help info. for the top x% of hands slider's hand ordering.
• Re-organize the main Menu and bottom toolbar, e.g. to give instructions for the dead cards feature.
• Terminology change: hand histogram --> hand type stats (OnePair, TwoPair, etc.).

4) Add "Rate This App" menu button after some uses of the app to encourage app ratings/reviews (the button goes away after you use it).

Version 6.1.1 (Released Jan. 17, 2013)

1) Export/import all saved hand ranges.

• Hand range editor screen --> Menu --> Export/Import & Share --> …
• You can use this feature to back up your hand range library or transfer your saved hand ranges from one device to another or share them with friends.

2) Better error handling when importing scenarios and hand ranges. E.g. the current scenario or hand range is retained now (isn't cleared) if there's an error in the import text.

3) New app icon.

Version 5.5.1 (Released Nov. 16, 2012)

1) This app now requires iOS 4.3 or later.

2) Support iPhone 5's larger screen:

• New toolbars at the bottom of the main screen and the hand range editor screen, to more quickly do things like save/load and export/import/share scenarios and hand ranges.  These actions can also be done using the already existing "Menu" buttons.
• Main screen:  Show "Monte Carlo Simulation" or "Complete Enumeration" at the bottom of the screen along with the number of trials/cases.
• Hand range editor screen and range heat map screen:  Show the number of hand combinations in the range and the total number of hand combinations possible at the bottom of the screen.  This is also reflected in the already existing hand range %age at the top right of the screen.

3) Main screen:  New menu button "Copy Scenario Text" under Menu --> Export/Import & Share.  After copying the scenario's text, you can paste the text into Email/Facebook/Twitter/etc. to share the scenario.

Version 5.4.1 (Released Jun. 06, 2012)

New app icon and logo.

Version 5.3.1 (Released Apr. 30, 2012)

Ability to save/load up to a dozen scenarios inside the app. This includes the entire state of a scenario: all players' cards/ranges, board cards, dead cards, etc. (but not the stats).

• The save/load commands are in Menu --> Save/Load Scenario --> …
• There's also an "Export All Saved Scenarios" command.
• All saved scenarios are persisted (saved) in the app's state (as are all saved hand ranges). This is as expected and goes without saying actually.

Note:
There are only a dozen saved scenarios, not an unlimited number, because this app is an advanced odds calculator, not a hand history app. A dozen saved scenarios should be enough for a given session's key hands, and you can "Export All Saved Scenarios" periodically to save away scenarios outside the app (e.g. on email, or in your device's Notes app, or on your desktop/laptop, etc.). Note that there's an "Import Scenario" command in the Menu that you can use to import an externally saved scenario by copying its text.

Version 5.2.1 (Released Jan. 25, 2012)

Summary:

• Ability to import scenarios and hand ranges (export was already there).
• Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.
• Minor rewordings and some small UI tweaks.

Details:

1) Ability to import an entire scenario into the app, and to import a hand range, using the new Menu-->Import… buttons in the main screen and in the hand range editor screen.

The ability to export a scenario's text and hand range's text was already there, so this import feature completes the round-trip.

Example uses:

• Share scenarios and hand ranges with friends, on forums, across the different versions of PokerCruncher, and across other hand range programs.
• Save scenarios by exporting them to yourself, for later importing/analysis.

2) Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.

We had used a variant of the group definitions which put some hands in two groups e.g. AKs was in both Group1 and Group5. We now use the correct and strict definition of the groups, so now e.g. AKs is in only Group1.
Thanks to customer Rob S. for noticing this.

3) Minor rewordings e.g. "Range Breakdown" --> "Range Heat Map", and "RBrk" button --> "HMap" button, and some small UI tweaks.

Version 4.4.1 (Released Aug. 29, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon and home screen icon.

Version 4.3.1 (Released Jul. 05, 2011)

Small fix/improvement to the hit OnePair Deal-To-Flop *hit* stat. The normal/default *make* OnePair stat isn't affected by this issue.

If the flop pairs to help a non-pair hand like A9o make TwoPair, e.g. if the flop is AKK, then the app was giving A9o credit for hitting OnePair (the thinking was, because A9o has hit exactly one of its cards). However a poster on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread pointed out that this is inconsistent with the strict meaning of making/hitting OnePair, so now the app doesn't give a non-pair hand credit for hitting OnePair in such cases (because it has made TwoPair).

Version 4.2.2 (Released Jun. 08, 2011)

Minor update: make the app's App Store icon more detailed.

Version 4.2.1 (Released May 24, 2011)

Small improvements: change a Deal-To-Flop stat, and add another one-time alert explaining the Deal-To feature.

It looks like some users don't understand Deal-To and think the odds are completely wrong when they set Deal-To to something other than River. Hopefully this additional alert will help users understand this feature (and not write "odds are wrong" reviews on the app).

• Change Deal-To-Flop stat PocketPairAndNoOvercard to OverPair. OverPair is a more useful stat (e.g. it doesn't overlap with 3OfAKind) and is a more standard stat. Thanks to customer Gabriel V. for suggesting this.
• Show a one-time alert explaining the Deal-To feature the first time you calculate with Deal-To set to something other than River. Note that there was already a one-time alert the first time you changed Deal-To.

Version 4.1.2 (Released May 06, 2011)

1. We have released a Mac version of PokerCruncher! Check it out on the Mac App Store or on our website. In this update we make many small improvements in the iPhone version that we made while developing the Mac version. Details are below.
2. Improve fine-grain control of the hand range top x% of hands slider by overloading the 4 left/right/up/down arrow buttons to adjust the slider's value by the minimal amount. This makes it easier to set the exact desired %age value. A U.S. app store review said that the slider can be a bit jumpy; this fixes this issue; thanks for feedback.
3. Increase the number of random Monte Carlo simulation trials by 25%, gives slightly more accurate stats. As iPhone gets faster from iPhone 3GS to 4 to ... we'll increase the number of trials periodically to match. You can control the number of trials with the "Number Of Sim Trials" setting in the Menu.
4. Add a note in the main Help screen for following us on facebook and twitter; we'd love to have more fans.

Details on 1):

• Change export scenario text syntax to match the Mac version's improved syntax. So you can now export an entire scenario (including hand ranges) from the iPhone version and import/load it into the Mac version.
• Make the Stats view and odds/percentage button selectable/tap-able during a calculation. Previously you couldn't change these during a calculation.
• Hand range screen: Delete the NextCell button/setting; wasn't really that useful or needed; makes this screen cleaner. Use built-in next cell directions right/down/diagonal depending on if the selected cell is suited/offsuit/pair.
• Hand range screen: Improve grid tapping/selecting slightly: now the tapped cell is selected as early as possible in tap-down instead of in tap-up.
• Small wording/naming changes in settings, menu commands, etc.

Version 3.7.1 (Released Nov. 29, 2010)

Improve the deal random flop feature and the range top x% of hands slider.

1. New Menu buttons for generating various kinds of random flops: broadway, medium, low, suited, paired. These new buttons are enabled in the Menu when you select (tap) a flop card.
• The "Rnd" button on the main screen does the last random flop action you did from the Menu, e.g. you can tap it repeatedly to generate many random broadway flops, or many random paired flops.
• This feature lets you set up more effective what-if scenarios to practice and test yourself on. This was suggested on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread, thanks for writing.
2. Range top x% of hands slider: more accuracy in the %age shown, show tenths not whole numbers, e.g. 10.3%. This addresses a small issue mentioned in the iTunes review by customer "Strapnasty" (U.S. app store), thanks for pointing this out.

Version 3.6.1 (Released Aug. 25, 2010)

Ability to save/load up to 100 hand ranges (max used to be just 6). We have a lot of power users and this was suggested by a few people on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread.

Version 3.5.1 (Released Aug. 04, 2010)

1. New hand range setting "Range %age: Card Removal Effect" in the edit range screen's Menu. This setting lets you take or not take the effect of assigned and dead cards into account in the range %age at the top right (but it doesn't take the effect of other assigned ranges into account). This setting doesn't affect calculation results, only the range %age.
2. The app used to take card removal effect into account in this %age, and this was the only choice, but an experienced/knowledgable TwoPlusTwo forum member pointed out that this is non-intuitive because for starters it doesn't match PokerStove's %age (and also the app's top x% slider's %age). The default now is "off" so all of these %age's match.
3. Range breakdown view:
• Clarify the range breakdown details' hand combinations stats to mention card and range removal effects.
• Change the color of the tap-able cell info. of a cell that has 0 combinations to white (instead of yellow), to match its color in the heat map.
4. Remove Apple's shine effect on the top half of the app's icon; makes the icon sharper and better looking.
5. Small UI adjustments for iPhone 4: move some text labels down or right 1 pixel to make them line up better with neighboring fields.

Version 3.4.1 (Released Jul. 21, 2010)

1. UI improvements for iPhone 4 and iOS 4:
• Add a double-resolution app icon for iPhone 4.
• Make text fit and line up better in the menus and screens, and improve wording in some places.
2. Make save/restore app state work correctly on iOS 4; the app state was getting wiped out if you killed the app after suspending it.
3. Range Breakdown view:
• For a cell that isn't in the range, color the cell's tap-able cell info. gray instead of yellow, to match its color in the heat map.

Version 3.3.4 (Released Jul. 09, 2010)

Add a Tutorial on how to use the app to improve your game, and some more Help links.

We've gotten several emails to the effect "this looks like a powerful tool, but is there a user guide or tutorial?". So we've written a Tutorial on our website www.pokercruncher.com that shows how to use PokerCruncher to improve your game. The Tutorial shows how to think in terms of hand ranges, not just specific hands, and how to understand flop odds and do flop texture analysis.

• Add a Tutorial on our website www.pokercruncher.com.
• Add a link to the Tutorial in the app under Menu-->Help,Tutorial,Support.
• Also add links for:
• Emailing support
• Telling a friend about the app (if you like the app we'd love it if you spread the word :))
• Writing an iTunes review
• Visiting our TwoPlusTwo forum thread (thanks to many of you for your posts)

Version 3.3.2 (Released Jun. 20, 2010)

UI improvements, mainly make the Deal-To feature clearer in the UI. We got an email from a customer who thought he was seeing incorrect odds; turns out he had accidentally set Deal-To-Flop and didn't notice what this feature does. Thanks for writing.

• Make the Deal-To feature clearer in the UI by dimming the non-dealt cards to 10% brightness. This is to emphasize that simulation stops right before the non-dealt cards, and doesn't consider the non-dealt cards.
• Color the range equity breakdown heat map's tap-able cell info. green/red/yellow (positive/negative/breakeven equity).
• Add a dead cards error message for an extreme edge case: when the simulator can't deal all cards because there aren't enough deck cards, because there are too many dead cards.

Version 3.3.1 (Released Jun. 06, 2010)

We released a new app "PokerCruncher for iPad" a couple of weeks ago (looks and functions great on the iPad's beautiful screen). Update this iPhone/touch version with some small features and improvements we made in the iPad version:

• Tap-able range equity breakdown heat map (shows cell info.).
• Rename "Reset Hand Range" menu button to "Clear Hand Range".

Version 3.2.3 (Released May 13, 2010)

Fix a calculation bug introduced in the last update V.3.2.2 (in which we plugged in an updated HandEval); apologies.  This bug was not easily visible.  The bug caused incorrect "Tie" %age's in some DealTo=Flop scenarios where a kicker decides the winning hand.  Thanks to customer David P. for finding this bug.

Also with this update PokerCruncher requires iPhone OS 3.0 or higher (used to require OS 2.0 or higher).  Since OS 3.0 has been out since summer 2009 this requirement shouldn't be a problem.

Version 3.2.2 (Released Apr. 22, 2010)

Small improvements to the previous update's 4x calculation engine speedup:

• Add a note to the Help screen saying that the calculation engine uses Steve Brecher's excellent HandEval code for low-level hand evaluation. Thank you Steve.
• Plug in an updated version of HandEval that Steve Brecher sent us; uses less memory.
• Add "(enum)" to the number of simulations shown if the calculation is doing complete enumeration.
• For example:
• Complete enumeration: Show e.g. "990(enum)"
• Monte Carlo simulation: Show e.g. "200000"

Misc.:

• Clarify error messages and Help info. to say that selecting a card/range means tapping it (not assigning it), e.g. in the "RBrk" button's error messages.

Version 3.2.1 (Released Apr. 07, 2010)

A big (4x) calculation speedup.

• A further speedup if there's more than 1 hand range (on top of the 4x speedup).
• No big speedup for Deal-To-Flop; this case is about as fast as before (because of the extra stats).

This speedup gives more accuracy in the stats; we've increased the number of Monte Carlo simulations done. E.g. the "Default" setting now does 200K simulations instead of about 55K (for a simple 2-player blank board scenario).

*** Note ***
Especially if you have a 3GS device or an iPad, you may want to set the "Numer Of Simulations" setting to "2 x Default" or higher (or Infinite) to simulate more hands and get even more accuracy in the stats.

Also:

• Show the number of simulations done next to the calculation progress bar.
• Remove the RoyalFlush stat, because the optimized hand evaluator doesn't calculate this stat.

Also some minor settings, Menu commands, and button renamings:

• Rename "Num Hands To Simulate" setting to "Number Of Simulations".
• Rename "Export Hand ..." Menu command to "View Hand Text & Export ...".
• Rename "HitSt" (hit stats) and "DfltSt" (default make hand stats) buttons to "Hit" and "Make". These stats are only calculated for Deal-To-Flop.

Version 3.1.2 (Released Mar. 22, 2010)

Some small hand ranges and UI improvements, mostly suggested by DesertCat on TwoPlusTwo, thanks.

• Double-tap a player's card/range to bring up the hand range builder screen (as a shortcut to tapping the "Rng" button).
• New setting "Auto-Add Grid Cells" in hand range builder screen's Menu. If this setting is on then the grid cells are automatically added to the hand range when you tap/swipe the grid. If this setting is off then you have to first select the cells, then tap the "Add" button.
• Show the 3 main player stats in this order: Equity, Win, Tie, instead of the old order: Equity, Tie, Win. Make this change in Menu-->ExportHand too. This is the order convention in desktop programs.
• Bug fix (minor, harmless bug; no one reported this): When the recently added SaveHandRangeAs screen is being shown, if you tapped/swiped on this screen then the hand range grid (which is in the screen that's behind the SaveHandRangeAs screen) was picking up the taps/swipes and selecting grid cells. Now these taps/swipes aren't sent to the hand range grid.

Version 3.1.1 (Released Feb. 19, 2010)

Hand ranges improvements:

• Use "+" notation in a hand range's text, e.g. "JJ+" instead of "AA-JJ".
• Ability to enter an optional name for saved hand ranges.
• Show a confirmation alert when a hand range is saved.

Menu commands improvements:

• Reorganize the Menu commands into two groups: "Reset" button in the toolbar, and a new "Menu" button in the main screen.
• New Reset commands: "Reset Players", "Reset Board", "Reset Dead Cards".
• Move "Cancel" button to the bottom of the list in all menus, per standard UI convention.
• Make "Start New Calculation" button red (destructive) in Calculate menu.
• Rename "Clear Hand Range" button to "Reset Hand Range" in hand range builder screen's Menu.

Version 3.0.1 (Released Jan. 29, 2010)

• New "flop hit" stats.
• Make the "Deal To" feature clearer in the UI.
• Some small UI improvements.

Details below (are also posted on our website's Purchase page). Many thanks for your reviews and emails and discussions/suggestions on TwoPlusTwo, -RJ

(1) New "flop hit" stats:

These stats measure a hand's direct/full hit on the flop, whereas the default "make hand" stats include cases where e.g. the board pairs to help make the hand.

Set DealTo=Flop and calculate. The "Stats" button toggles between "HitSt" ("hit hand" stats) and "DfltSt" (default "make hand" stats). In the Stats view, the hit stats which can be different than the default stats are shown in blue color.

"Flop hit" stats require the player's hole cards to be used to hit the hand. The default "make hand" stats don't require the hole cards to be used (can use only the board's cards, or can use the hole cards partially). For example AK's default "make hand" stat for OnePair on the flop is 40%, but AK's "flop hit" stat for OnePair is 29%. Similarly for TwoPair, 3OfAKind, FullHouse, and a few of the combination draws stats.

Thanks to a poster on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread for this suggestion.

(2) Make the "Deal To" feature clearer in the UI:

• Color the DealTo indicator (dotted vertical line) blue instead of gray so it's easier to see/notice, and so it matches the color of the new "flop hit" stats. Also make the DealTo indicator and the new "flop hit" stats bold.
• Show an alert explaining the DealTo feature the first time "Deal To" is tapped (show only the first time).

(3) Small UI improvements:

• Add "Export(Email)" buttons to RangeBreakdownViewDetails and ViewHandRangeText popups.
• Rename "Reset Hand Range" Menu command to "Clear Hand Range" in hand range builder screen.
• Indent hand range top x% slider and heat map slider a little more on the left hand side of the screen so they're easier to adjust.
• Rename "S" stats button to "Stats", rename ":1" button to "n:1", and make these buttons bigger so they're easier to tap.

Version 2.92 (Released Dec. 10, 2009)

UI improvements:

• New button "Add+" in hand range builder screen. E.g. for 88 it adds 88+ i.e. AA-88, similarly for suited and offsuit cells. (Thanks funkyj on TwoPlusTwo.)
• Improve how players' equities are colored green (positive equity), yellow (breakeven equity), red (negative equity): Use 10% above/below breakeven equity as the green/red boundaries, instead of absolute/fixed 5% away from breakeven equity. E.g. now for AA vs. 9 random hands, AA is green and the 9 random hands are red. Before, AA was green but the 9 random hands were yellow.
• RangeBreakdown equity heat map: Add a slider to specify the top and bottom boundaries of the green --> yellow --> red color spectrum instead of hardcoding to absolute 30% above/below breakeven equity.
• Make "reset all" menu commands red (to indicate destructive).
• ExportHand and RangeBreakdownDetails popups: Remove the titles of the popups to make more space for the body text.

Version 2.91 (Released Nov. 13, 2009)

Export a hand to email.

• New Menu option "Export Hand ..." (shows the hand text including calculation results).
• Then tap "... To Email".

You can then email the hand text or copy/paste it elsewhere or ...

Version 2.82 (Released Oct. 29, 2009)

New setting in the Menu for number of hands to simulate (for Monte Carlo simulation).

• "2 x Default" (or 4x) is recommended for 3GS devices.
• Infinite calculation mode.
• Stop/Continue calculation.

Misc:

• Update app icon.
• Rename TopPairOrBetter Deal-To-Flop stat to HitBoard'sTopCard to make its name match its meaning better. E.g. this stat can tell you how often AK (or JT, ...) hits at least top pair on the flop. Also, enable this stat for pocket pairs, so e.g. this stat can tell you how often a pocket pair flops top set (or top quads).
• Add "<-- Back" buttons in the Menu.

Version 2.81 (Released Oct. 06, 2009)

Cards and odds format improvements:

• 4-color cards for easier readability of suits.
• New (saved) setting in the Menu for 2-color or 4-color.
• Small improvements to the design of some cards e.g. the Ace's inner suit icon is now a large suit icon not small.
• Better n:1 odds format: now n is always >= 1.0. "n:1" means "odds against" as before, and "n:1F" means "odds in favor" or "odds as a favorite".
• Change app display name to "PkrCruncher" (used to be "PokCruncher").

Thanks to PokerCruncher's TwoPlusTwo forum posters for these suggestions. More improvements and new features to come ...

Version 2.71 (Released Sep. 14, 2009)

Improvements to range equity breakdown heat map and detailed stats ("R.B." button):

• Use a continuous range of colors red -> yellow -> green instead of 5 discrete-level colors.
• "View Details" stats: Show the range's total number of hand combinations and each cell's num hand combs.
• Use white color (instead of light-gray) for cells that are in the range but that don't have any assignable hands.

Again I'd like to thank customer M.S. and PokerCruncher's TwoPlusTwo forum posters for excellent suggestions. We look forward to all suggestions, feedback, and reviews, thank you.

Version 2.7 (Released Aug. 25, 2009)

Range equity breakdown heat map and detailed stats.

Now, in addition to a range's overall equity you can see the equity of each hand in the range (shown as a color-coded equity heat map). You can also see what %age of the range each hand comprises (by viewing the detailed stats).

• Do a calculation that involves a hand range (or multiple hand ranges).
• Tap on a player's hand range to select it.
• Tap the new "R.B." (Range Breakdown) button - shows the equity heat map.
• Tap the "View Details" button to see detailed stats for all of the hands in the range - equity and %age of the range.

Note that due to Monte Carlo (random sampling) simulation, each hand's (grid cell's) equity has a higher variance (margin of error) than the entire range's equity.

Also a bug fix - sometimes the players' hand distributions and draws stats were being reset too early.

This range equity breakdown feature was suggested by customer M.S., thank you M.S.! We look forward to all suggestions, feedback, and reviews.

Version 2.6 (Released Jul. 21, 2009)

Ability to mark deck cards dead/live:

• First select Menu->SetNextDeckCardDead/Live.
• Then tap a deck card to mark it dead/live.

Version 2.5 (Released Jul. 03, 2009)

Fix a save/load app state bug that's visible only on iPhone OS 3.0.

Version 2.4 (Released May 26, 2009)

NOTE:
This update changes the storage format for hand ranges to fix a save/load bug. Please clear all old hand ranges (Menu -> ResetAll). Also please clear any hand ranges you may have saved in the hand range builder screen. Or, you can delete this app from your device (which will delete all of its data) and re-install it. Apologies for the inconvenience; we don't expect to do this again.

• Tap and swipe hand range grid cells to select and multi-select them - horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
• Show Equity as the main player stat (used to show Win%).
• Equity colors: Green for positive equity (5% or more above breakeven), Orange for negative equity, Yellow for breakeven equity.
• New Deal-To-Flop "S" Stats view stats: combination draws, Pair&Draws. Tap new <- and -> buttons in Stats view to see the 3 groups of stats.
• Fix calibration of "select top x% of hands" slider. Now uses the odds of the hands in the hand range instead of using a linear (odds unweighted) hand ordering.
• Fix a hand range save/load bug - sometimes the wrong suit combinations were being loaded in. Please see the NOTE at the top.

Version 2.3 (Released Apr. 28, 2009)

Select suits in hand ranges. Suggested by more than several customers, thanks for writing.

For example you can now enter the hand range Ahxh (h=heart) instead of just Axs (s=suited) e.g. if the flop has exactly two hearts and you want to put a player on the (heart) nut flush draw. You can select any combination of suits.

• New "Suits" button in hand range builder screen that brings up the suit combinations view.
• Single-select mode: If you have only one grid cell selected then the "Suits" button shows you the suit combinations that are enabled/disabled for the cell. You can toggle any of the applicable suit buttons on/off.
• Multi-select mode: If you have more than one cell selected (e.g. by selecting one of the built-in hand ranges) then all of the applicable suit buttons start out dimmed. Any on/off changes you make to any of the suit buttons will have effect on all of the applicable selected cells.
• New "Select" button in hand range builder screen that lets you multi-select ranges of cells in the 3 directions right/down/diagonal.
• New "View Hand Range Text" button under the hand range builder screen's Menu button, to let you see the complete text for long hand ranges.
• New built-in hand ranges Jx, Tx.

Version 2.2 (Released Mar. 24, 2009)

New hand ranges features. Driven mainly by good customer feedback; thanks for writing.

• Select top x% of hands slider in hand range builder screen.
• %age indicator for the hand range you're building: Shows the %age of all possible hole-card hands that are in the hand range, taking assigned (non-live) cards into account. This is also the odds of the player getting a hand in the hand range.
• Save/load hand ranges (up to 6 ranges). The Save/Load buttons are under the Menu button in the hand range builder screen.
• Small performance improvement in the responsiveness of the UI. E.g. adding/removing players is a little faster. We'll be investigating performance more in the future (e.g. calculation speed).

Version 2.1 (Released Mar. 2, 2009)

Some small new features and UI improvements, suggested mostly by two customers after the V.2.0 hand ranges update (thanks for writing):

• New button "Fold/Un-Fold Selected Player" under Menu button; models dead cards.
• New button "Reset All Except NumPlayers" under Menu button.
• UI now shows Equity for players 1..4 if there are more than 4 players (used to show Equity only for players 1..2).
• Renamed the "i" (stats) button to "S" and made the "S", ":1", "?", "X" buttons a little bigger so they're easier to tap.
• New "?" help button in the Built-In Hand Ranges screen, and added a note "Tap Add/Remove after selecting" in this screen.
• Reduced the default number of hands that are simulated by 10%..20% so calculation finishes a little faster (without sacrificing accuracy noticeably). You can always calculate again to get a new Monte Carlo result.

Version 2.0 (Released Feb. 9, 2009)

Hand Ranges!

• Select a player field, then tap the new "Rng" button on the card keypad to construct and assign hand ranges.
• Full grid of all 169 starting hands like PokerStove (the excellent Windows PC app).
• Convenient directional select/add/remove buttons that make constructing hand ranges easy even on a small screen.
• Extensive built-in hand ranges: pairs (all, high, medium, low), broadway/medium/low cards, connectors (also 1-gap, 2-gap, 3-gap), Ax, Kx, Qx, suited/offsuit.
• The 8 Sklansky hand groups are also built-in hand ranges, and our new Group 1a.

Version 1.3 (Released Dec. 19, 2008)

New "Rnd" button that assigns random player and board cards.

• If you select any player card, the "Rnd" button assigns random cards to all players that you haven't assigned cards to. So for example you can enter pocket aces for Player1 (you) and tap the "Rnd" button to generate random cards for the other players.
• If you select a flop/turn/river card, the "Rnd" button generates a random flop/turn/river.
• The "Reset" button has a new option for clearing only the random player cards.

You can use this feature to generate random practice/test scenarios and test your odds estimates against the simulator's at each street: preflop, and after a random flop, turn, and river.

Version 1.2 (Released Nov. 16, 2008)

• New ":1" button that shows all stats as n:1 odds ("odds against", not "odds in favor"). Toggles between %age's and odds.
• More accuracy in the %age's: show 3 significant digits; used to round to nearest tenths.
• Show players' cards in the "i" stats view.
• Minor bugs fixed in the updating of the "Hands/Draws" button in the "i" stats view when DealTo=Flop, and in the resetting of stats.

Version 1.1 (Released Oct. 27, 2008)

• Product launch.

PokerCruncher for iPad - Advanced

Back To Top

Version 16.1.1 (Released Oct. 03, 2024)

Some small UI improvements:

1) Show a one-time informational alert when you use the “Set Deck Card Dead/Live” button for the first time, to better explain how to set dead cards. Thanks to customer Heather K. for writing in about this.

2) Set the text size of the toolbar’s buttons in a cleaner way, so that the toolbar doesn’t overflow if you set the iPadOS system text size setting to a very large text size.

3) Change the app’s display name on the home screen to “PokerCruncher”, from the abbreviated name “PkrCruncher”.

Version 15.1.1 (Released Apr. 30, 2022)

A UI freshen-up and maintenance update for the latest versions of iOS, and some other small UI improvements.

1) Improve/update the look of some UI elements in a few views on the latest versions of iOS, e.g. the card deck in the main view.

2) In the Hand Range Editor view, when edit a hand range, reset the range’s name only if the range has actually changed.

3) For clarity, write “[Not Applicable For Board]” for views that aren’t applicable when the board is tapped/selected, e.g. the Hand Range Editor view.

4) Some small wording improvements in a few dialogs.

5) This app now requires iOS 12.0 or later.

Version 12.4.1 (Released Sep. 08, 2019)

Improvements for the “View Card Removal Effect” setting/feature, e.g. to the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view.

1) Add extra clarification in the UI for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting: takes *card removal effects* into account, but not *range removal effects*. So, enter a player’s specific hand as *2 specific cards* from the *card deck*, not as a (1-combo) *hand range*.

2) Add an info. alert for the above usage-case (1-combo hand range).

3) Show card removal effect in the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view (if this setting is ON): dim combos that aren’t live due to card removal effect.
* Note that these combos are still ON/OFF editable in the range (e.g. a combo can be in the range but not live).
* Also note that combos are also (slightly less) dimmed when you multi-select cells in the range grid, but this is a different dimmed meaning (multi-select) than card removal effect (the latter dimmed meaning only applies when you have exactly one cell selected in the range grid).

4) Update the Hand Range Editor view’s Help screens and the Tutorial with these changes.

5) Make dead cards in the card deck slightly brighter for better visibility, and also do the same for the board’s non-dealt cards (cards to the right of the Deal-To setting).

6) Rename the 4x4 “Suits” view to “Hand Combos” view in the UI and the Tutorial.

Version 12.3.1 (Released Jun. 05, 2019)

Educational additions: videos and blogs, a great new recommended pro/coach: Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com), and a Coaches & Pros webpage … to help you use PokerCruncher more effectively and improve your game.

For example the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog by Alec Torelli are must sees in our opinion. Also see our website’s (improved) Tutorials & Videos page.

2) A great new recommended poker pro/coach:

    Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com)

Alec uses PokerCruncher in his work/analysis and has created some excellent videos and teaching material (e.g. the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog mentioned above). If you want to learn how to use PokerCruncher effectively, how to read hands and ranges better, and improve your overall game, we recommend checking out Alec's videos/teaching-material/coaching. We ourselves (including me RJ) have learned a lot from Alec's videos and teaching material e.g. his funnel system for reading hands and ranges. Do check him out!

3) A separate Coaches & Pros page on our website, and a link to this page inside the app:

    Menu --> Coaches & Pros … --> Coaches & Pros

We’re very happy that some really good pros/coaches like these guys are using PokerCruncher and have created some great teaching material. Do check them out, including our newest addition Alec Torelli.

Version 12.2.1 (Released Apr. 20, 2019)

Some small UI improvements:
* Better column alignment in the Range Heat Map Details text, for better readability.
* Small layout fix in the Enter Hand Range Name view, to the range number label.
* Remove the “Clr” button in the Hand Range Editor view, for consistency with PokerCruncher-Advanced-iPhone’s UI, and to avoid accidental clears of hand ranges. To clear a hand range, do Menu --> Clear Hand Range.
* A few minor wording improvements in the menus and dialogs.

Version 12.1.1 (Released Feb. 22, 2019)

An edge-case bug fix for “Export All Saved Ranges”, and a wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons.

1) Edge-case bug fix for “Export All Saved Ranges”: If you had saved hand ranges with hand range names that contain special chars like “&”, the exported text was getting cut off at that point (at the special char). This has been fixed, so you can now use special chars like “&” in hand range names.

2) Wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons: Reword these menu buttons to “Export/Back-Up All Saved …”, to indicate that these menu buttons can be used to back up your saved hand ranges and saved scenarios.

Version 11.6.2 (Released Dec. 17, 2018)

An edge case “Calc” button bug fix:
* If you did repeated calc’s fast, starting the next calc immediately after the current calc ends, you could have sometimes gotten a crash. You had to be really stress-testing the app to get this; wouldn’t have happened in normal usage. In any case this has been fixed.

Also (in V.11.6.1):
* Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials.
* When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”.
* Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.
* Add the app’s name in small print at the top of the main view.

Version 11.6.1 (Released Dec. 10, 2018)

Small improvements to keep the app in top form:

1) Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials. Today’s faster devices can handle it, giving us even more accuracy in the stats. If needed, you can use the “Number Of Sim. Trials” setting in the main view’s Menu.

2) When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”.

3) Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.

4) Add the app’s name in small print at the top of the main view.

Version 11.5.1 (Released Sep. 11, 2018)

New feature: undo accidental clears/resets of hand ranges in the main view.
* Main view: new menu button Menu --> Dead Cards, Settings, Undo --> Import Last Cleared Range (Undo). Select (tap) a player first.
* Or, long-tap on a player to bring up the player’s shortcut menu.
* Add a section in the main Help screen for this undo feature.

Version 11.4.1 (Released Aug. 30, 2018)

1) Make the batch-import saved hand ranges feature more robust:
* Retain spaces in the names of the imported saved hand ranges (before, spaces were being stripped).
* Better error handling/reporting.

2) Make the app’s splash screen cleaner, for the latest/newest version of iOS.

Version 11.3.1 (Released Jun. 21, 2018)

New feature: enter/edit scenario notes. And small wording improvements in the menus.

1) Add the ability to enter/edit text notes on a scenario.
* To view and edit a scenario’s notes, in the main view, do Menu —> Scenario Text … —> View Scenario Text/Notes …
* Of course notes are handled in saved scenarios and exported/imported scenarios.

For example, this feature lets us record/save important info. on our key hands in real time while it’s fresh in our mind, so we can review/analyze our key hands better later.

However note that PokerCruncher is primarily an odds calculation app, not a hand tracking / note-taking app. But we’re happy to add this minimal useful note-taking ability.

2) Small wording improvements in the menus in the main view and hand range editor view.

Version 11.1.1 (Released Feb. 12, 2018)

Small new features and improvements.

1) Add “Clear Saved Hand Range” menu button and subscreen in the hand range editor view. For a selected range, you can clear both the range and its name, or just the range.

2) App’s top and bottom toolbar buttons: improve the buttons’ spacing and layout.

3) Make importing (parsing in) hand ranges via their text more robust: ignore a possible “Weights:” section at the end of the text (the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher has this %age weights feature). This makes importing hand ranges from the Mac-Expert version possible / fully clean.

Version 10.1.1 (Released Jul. 17, 2017)

1) Ensure that the app works cleanly on the upcoming iOS 11.

2) New section “Further Education” in the app’s main menu (“Menu” button) and on the Tutorial & Videos webpage. We've partnered with some great poker pros/coaches/teachers, who like and use PokerCruncher, to help improve your game even further; please check them out!

3) Some small wording improvements and cleanups in some help/info screens.

4) A small edge-case bug fix to advanced Deal-To-Flop stat Pair&GutshotStraight (our apologies).

Our thanks to customer Brian K. for finding the 4) bug.

Version 9.5.1 (Released Sep. 28, 2016)

A small user interface fix for iOS 10, and a new section “Featured Poker Coaches” on our Tutorial & Videos webpage.

1) Hand Range Editor View: Fix the sizes of the 4 Left/Right/Up/Down arrow buttons on iOS 10.

2) New section “Featured Poker Coaches” on our Tutorial & Videos webpage. These guys can improve your game; we suggest checking them out!

3) This app now requires iOS 8.0 or later.

Version 9.4.3 (Released Sep. 14, 2016)

A small user interface improvement.

Remove an unintuitive and error-prone UI shortcut: tap on a player’s Equity stat to fold/un-fold the player. This was causing accidental/unintended fold/un-fold’s and calculation resets. We’ll instead do this the normal and intuitive way: long-tap the player’s card/range field to bring up the player’s shortcut menu, then tap the “Fold/Un-Fold Selected Player” button. Or tap/select the player and then use the “Menu” button.

Version 9.4.2 (Released Aug. 22, 2016)

1) Improve/fix range grid’s “Auto-Add Grid Cells” setting’s behavior.
* This setting now behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove for both taps and swipes on the range grid. Before, it behaved as a toggle for only taps, not swipes.
* Rename this setting to “Auto-Add/Remove Grid Cells”.

2) Update this app’s App Store screenshots to the latest size/format.

Version 9.3.1 (Released Aug. 03, 2016)

A couple of small user interface tweaks to make the UI clean on (the upcoming) iOS 10.

1) Hand Range Editor View: Fix the sizes of the 4 Left/Right/Up/Down arrow buttons on iOS 10.
2) Save/Load Hand Range View: Change the background color of the range picker control to make it clearly visible on iOS 10.

Version 9.2.1 (Released May 31, 2016)

Improvements to the range grid, and some small/minor bug fixes.

1) Improvements to range grid’s cell selection look and behavior and add/remove cells behavior.

* Selected cells are now indicated by dimming the cells (the old method was to color selected cells orange). Using dimming lets us see the cells’ underlying color e.g. yellow (added to the range) or non-yellow (not added). Also, a small percentage of new users thought that the old orange color means “added” because it’s a bright/strong color; using dimming (which is more subdued) better conveys just “selected” not added.

* If the “Auto-Add Range Grid Cells” setting is on, a single-tap behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove.

* Keep all of the currently selected cells selected after adding/removing cells (instead of keeping just one cell selected). Lets you see which cells were affected by the add/remove, and lets you do another operation on the (same) selected cells.

2) Calculation: Take folded players who have hand ranges into account in all cases. They weren’t being taken into account when no active player (non-folded player) has a hand range. But they (correctly) were being taken into account when an active player (non-folded player) has a hand range, which is the normal usage scenario, so this wasn’t a serious bug.

This is an important and differentiating feature of PokerCruncher. The ranges of players who have folded out of the hand (select the player, then tap “Menu” —> “Fold Selected Player” button) can affect the hands and ranges and equities/stats of the active players (non-folded players), and PokerCruncher lets you model this effect of the folded players in your scenario.

3) Fix an edge-case error-scenario calculation bug: show an error message correctly without crashing if there are no active players (all players have folded). This is a degenerate edge-case that was always being handled correctly in the iPhone version of this app, and is now fixed in the iPad version.

Version 9.1.2 (Released Jan. 19, 2016)

Videos on how to use PokerCruncher.

* Two poker coaches have each made good videos on how to use PokerCruncher (thanks guys!). Links to the videos are on our website. Also, the app’s Menu -> “Tutorial & Videos” button takes you to the PokerCruncher Tutorial and videos. These videos use the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher, but the main concepts they discuss e.g. hand ranges apply to all versions of PokerCruncher.

* We’ve made a short 30-second app preview video of the iPhone version of PokerCruncher. This video is on our website, and is helpful for the iPad version of PokerCruncher too.

Version 8.2.1 (Released Sep. 23, 2015)

A few small user interface improvements and cleanups, mainly to make sure that the app is clean on iOS 9.

1) Show “hand range has been saved as …” alert cleanly on iOS 9.
2) Improve column alignment in range heat map details text on iOS 9.
3) Stats view: Reword “Over Pair” stat to “Overpair”.

Version 8.1.2 (Released Jun. 10, 2015)

A small bug fix and cleanup update.

1) A deal-random-cards bug fix: When dealing random cards to only the selected player (using long-tap on the player), the player’s existing cards sometimes weren’t being returned to the card deck correctly. This bug is now fixed (was introduced in the previous update V.8.1.1).

Version 8.1.1 (Released Mar. 02, 2015)

Big user interface improvements, and some small new features.

1) New, modern UI theme across entire app.

2) Cleaner and more modern app icon.

3) Improve range heat map details text (e.g., sorted list of hands, better column alignment).

4) Ability to deal random cards to just one specific player. Long-tap one of the player’s card fields to bring up the player’s shortcut menu, then tap the “Deal Random Cards” button.

5) This app now requires iOS 7 or later.

Further Details:

1) Some small additional UI improvements, e.g.:
* Small layout and font size improvements.
* Improve the appearance of highlighted (tapped) buttons (remove the highlight-glow, dim the buttons instead).

3) Improve range heat map details text:
* Show a sorted list of all hands at the bottom (sorted on Equity).
* Clarify the wording of the handling of card and range removal effects. No changes to stats/functionality.
* Use commas to separate the fields, and use tabs to align the columns better.
* Small bug fix: If there’s exactly 1 assign-able hand combo in a cell then the specific suits of the hand combo were sometimes being written incorrectly; write the suits correctly. This was just a printing error; didn’t affect the stats.

Version 7.4.1 (Released Dec. 01, 2014)

1) Fix an edge-case hand ranges equity calculation bug.  Details below.

2) Small wording and help info. improvements.

Details:

1) This bug required the scenario to have 3 or more players, and 2 or more hand ranges, where the hand ranges and player and board and dead cards are highly overlapping with very few live hand combos available for assigning.

This wasn’t a bug that one would encounter in “normal” usages of the app, e.g. if there’s only 1 hand range in the scenario, or if there are many hand ranges but many hand combos are live and available for assigning.

It took 5+ years for this bug to be seen/reported.  Thanks jdr0317 on the TwoPlusTwo poker forums for finding/reporting this bug!

Version 7.3.1 (Released Aug., 2014)

Small UI improvements to ensure that the UI will be clean under the soon to be released iOS 8.

* Show scenario text, heat map details text, and some Help info. text in small screens instead of in small alert views.
* Shorten and clean up some alert views’ messages.
* Some other minor UI improvements, e.g., use a space in “Export (Email)”.

Version 7.2.1 (Released Jun., 2014)

A big update:

1) New features:

* Main Screen: Long-tap a player’s card/range field to bring up the player’s shortcut menu. This new menu lets you do some important operations faster e.g. fold/un-fold a player, load a saved hand range onto a player (without having to use the hand range editor view).

* Hand Range Editor View: New mode “bottom x% of hands” for the range slider (in addition to the already existing “top x% of hands” mode).

2) Improvements to existing features, e.g., flop hit stats. Details below.

3) UI improvements, e.g., to the main screen, stats view. Details below.

Details:

2) Improvements To Existing Features
====================

* Flop Hit Stats: Improve the definition/meaning of flop hit stats and Top/Middle/Bottom-Pair stats. For example, before, if the selected player has A2 and the flop is AKK (suits don’t matter), the selected player didn’t get credit for hitting OnePair (or TwoPair); now he gets credit for hitting OnePair. Now, he *makes* TwoPair, and *hits* OnePair in this case. He also gets credit for TopPair. Other similar stats and cases have also been improved/fixed.

* Tutorial: Improve the explanation of flop hit stats.

* Built-In Hand Ranges View: Don’t include pair cells in Broadway/Medium/Low selectors.

* Range Heat Map View: ViewDetails text: If a cell has only 1 hand combo then write that specific hand combo instead of the cell’s general name (e.g., write “AhKh” instead of “AKs”).

* Main Screen: Make complete enumeration calculations a little faster.

3) UI Improvements
====================

a) Main Screen:
* Move Calculate button to the right side of the screen (more logical placement, gives faster app usage).
* Improved indication of the selected card/player:
  - Show a border rectangle around the selected card (instead of dimming the card).
  - Highlight the selected player’s number.
* Show the number of dead cards in the card deck, e.g., “Dead: 1”.
* Show calculation progress bar only while a calculation is running, not when it’s finished or stopped.
* Dim RangeEditorOrHeatMap selector while a calculation is running (it was being disabled but not dimmed).
* In players’ range fields, use padding on the left and right sides of the range field so the range text doesn’t run up against the sides of the field/button.
* Align players’ Win and Tie values better.

b) Stats View:
* Highlight the selected player’s number/title.
* Show the selected player’s cards graphically.
* Swipe up/down to view the next/previous player’s stats.
* Use spaces in stat names for better readability.

c) Stats:
* Write “0%” instead of “0.00%” for stats that have a value of exactly 0%.
* Write infinity symbol instead of text “inf” in the UI.

d) General:
* Change some small-X-circle buttons to Done buttons.
* Move Done or Cancel button to the right side of the view if it’s the only button in the view.
* Improve some alerts’ button names, button left/right placement, and wording.
* Improve main help screen, e.g., add a section on shortcuts (e.g., long-tap).
* Update the Tutorial: shortcuts, flop hit stats.

Version 7.1.1 (Released Mar., 2014)

Maintenance update: small improvements and fixes, nothing major. Details below.

Details:

• Clarify the “Import Scenario” feature’s instructions: the text that you’re importing must be in PokerCruncher scenario text format.
• Reword hand range setting “Rng%age:CardRemovalEffect” to “View Card Removal Effect”.
• Terminology: say “combo” when referring to ranges’ hand combos, not “combination”.
• When a view isn’t available/applicable, e.g., Hand Range Editor View when a board card is selected (tapped), show text “Hand Range Editor View” in place of the view in the UI, instead of text “Hand Range Editor View: Not Available”. The “Not Available” wording made it look like the view/feature is an add-on feature to some people.
• Fix a small bug in the InsideStraightDraw Deal-To-Flop stat (was having minor effect).
• Call the app “PokerCruncher - Advanced” in ViewScenarioText, etc., not just “PokerCruncher”. This helps clarify the app for example in comparison to the Mac version which is now “PokerCruncher - Expert”.

Version 6.4.2 (Released Dec. 11, 2013)

Small clean-ups to the previous update:

• Add the "HD" (iPad version) app icon correctly/fully.
• Small improvements to names/abbreviations of some stats.
• Small improvements to Help info.
• Small adjustments to the "Rate This App" menu button and prompt.

Version 6.4.1 (Released Nov. 20, 2013)

Summary:

• Some new Deal-To-Flop stats, e.g. TopPair, MiddlePair, BottomPair.
• Small changes to names/abbreviations of some stats.
• Improvements to hand range names, e.g. show a hand range's name more prominently in the UI.
• Add "HD" to app icon to indicate that this is the iPad version of PokerCruncher.

Details:

1) Some new Deal-To-Flop stats:

• OnePair breakdown stats: TopPair, MiddlePair, BottomPair.
• TwoCardBackdoorFlushDraw.
• Pair&OpenEndStraightFlushDraw.

2) Improvements to hand range names:

• Show a saved (or loaded) hand range's name more prominently in the UI:
• In the title of the hand range editor view and range heat map view (tap the title to view the range's name). If the range has a name, ".." (ellipses) is added at the end of the view's title.
• In the hand range's text and scenario's text.
• Support hand range names in save/load scenario and export/import scenario.

Version 6.3.2 (Released Oct. 16, 2013)

1) Add hand combinations count to hand range view, under the range %age at the top right. E.g., "28/1326 comb".

2) Small bug fix: the currently selected player's hand range editor view was being reset accidentally when you removed another player that has a hand range (using the "-" button); fixed. This wasn't a disastrous bug because the currently selected player's hand range wasn't cleared, it was still there and assigned to the currently selected player, only the hand range view was temporarily cleared.

3) Add new-size app icons for iOS 7.

Version 6.3.1 (Released Sep. 11, 2013)

1) Some small UI improvements to make sure the UI is clean going forward:

• New icons for AddPlayer and RemovePlayer toolbar buttons.
• Improve toolbar buttons' size and layout.
• Improve the size of the hand range views' diagonal grid cells' text and up-arrow button.
• Improve the look of all choice selector controls (RangeEditor vs. HeatMap, MakeHand stats vs. HitHand stats, built-in hand ranges).

2) This app now requires iOS 5.0 or later.

Version 6.2.1 (Released Jun. 05, 2013)

Graphics, UI, Help info., and Menu improvements, and some small new UI features.

1) Improved (retina) card and button graphics:

• Retina cards. Simpler, cleaner, easier-to-read card design.
• Retina "Suits" and arrow buttons (in hand range editor view).
• Remove 2-color cards setting; cards are always 4-color now.

2) New UI features:

• Tap a player's Equity stat to fold/un-fold the player (as a shortcut for the Menu button for this).
• In landscape orientation, show a few additional buttons in the main toolbar in the extra space at the right.

3) UI improvements:

• Make "Calculate" button blue, also the "Save" button in the hand range editor view.
• Better disabling/dimming of inactive buttons while a calculation is running.
• Change dead card graphics (dead cards are heavily dimmed).
• Improve the look of the small red "X" close buttons.
• Small adjustments to button sizes in the Built-In Ranges view and hand range editor view.
• Better UI robustness: handle (accidental) simultaneous button presses better.
• Small bug fix: Show the Stats view's MakeHand/HitHand selector after loading/importing a scenario that has DealTo=Flop.

4) Help info. and Menu improvements:

• Improve Deal-To feature's info./help popup note.
• Improve the main Help screen and the hand range Help screens. E.g., add Help info. for the top x% of hands slider's hand ordering.
• Re-organize the main Menu, e.g. to give instructions for the dead cards feature.
• Terminology change: hand histogram --> hand type stats (OnePair, TwoPair, etc.).

5) Add "Rate This App" menu button after some uses of the app to encourage app ratings/reviews (the button goes away after you use it).

Version 6.1.1 (Released Jan. 17, 2013)

1) Export/import all saved hand ranges.

• Hand range editor view --> Menu --> Export/Import & Share --> …
• You can use this feature to back up your hand range library or transfer your saved hand ranges from one device to another or share them with friends.

2) Better error handling when importing scenarios and hand ranges. E.g. the current scenario or hand range is retained now (isn't cleared) if there's an error in the import text.

3) New app icon.

Version 5.5.1 (Released Nov. 28, 2012)

Small update:

1) This app now requires iOS 4.3 or later.

2) New menu button "Copy Scenario Text" under Menu --> Export/Import & Share.  After copying the scenario's text, you can paste the text into Email/Facebook/Twitter/etc. to share the scenario.

Version 5.4.1 (Released Jun. 07, 2012)

New app icon and logo.

Version 5.3.1 (Released May 04, 2012)

Ability to save/load up to a dozen scenarios inside the app. This includes the entire state of a scenario: all players' cards/ranges, board cards, dead cards, etc. (but not the stats).

• The save/load commands are in Menu --> Save/Load Scenario --> …
• There's also an "Export All Saved Scenarios" command.
• All saved scenarios are persisted (saved) in the app's state (as are all saved hand ranges). This is as expected and goes without saying actually.

Note:
There are only a dozen saved scenarios, not an unlimited number, because this app is an advanced odds calculator, not a hand history app. A dozen saved scenarios should be enough for a given session's key hands, and you can "Export All Saved Scenarios" periodically to save away scenarios outside the app (e.g. on email, or in your device's Notes app, or on your desktop/laptop, etc.). Note that there's an "Import Scenario" command in the Menu that you can use to import an externally saved scenario by copying its text.

Version 5.2.2 (Released Mar. 29, 2012)

Small UI improvements for the new (3rd gen) iPad's retina screen:

• Add a double-resolution app icon.
• Make text fields line up better vertically with their neighboring fields, e.g. the player number labels "1", "2", … (small 1-pixel up/down adjustments).

Version 5.2.1 (Released Jan. 28, 2012)

Summary:

• Ability to import scenarios and hand ranges (export was already there).
• Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.
• Minor rewordings and some small UI tweaks.

Details:

1) Ability to import an entire scenario into the app, and to import a hand range, using the new Menu-->Import… buttons in the main view and in the hand range editor view.

The ability to export a scenario's text and hand range's text was already there, so this import feature completes the round-trip.

Example uses:

• Share scenarios and hand ranges with friends, on forums, across the different versions of PokerCruncher, and across other hand range programs.
• Save scenarios by exporting them to yourself, for later importing/analysis.

2) Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.

We had used a variant of the group definitions which put some hands in two groups e.g. AKs was in both Group1 and Group5. We now use the correct and strict definition of the groups, so now e.g. AKs is in only Group1.
Thanks to customer Rob S. for noticing this.

3) Minor rewordings e.g. "Range Breakdown" --> "Range Heat Map", and some small UI tweaks.

Version 4.4.1 (Released Aug. 29, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon and home screen icon.

Version 4.3.1 (Released Jul. 07, 2011)

Small fix/improvement to the hit OnePair Deal-To-Flop *hit* stat. The normal/default *make* OnePair stat isn't affected by this issue.

If the flop pairs to help a non-pair hand like A9o make TwoPair, e.g. if the flop is AKK, then the app was giving A9o credit for hitting OnePair (the thinking was, because A9o has hit exactly one of its cards). However a poster on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread pointed out that this is inconsistent with the strict meaning of making/hitting OnePair, so now the app doesn't give a non-pair hand credit for hitting OnePair in such cases (because it has made TwoPair).

Also, a minor UI change: re-order the "Make Hand stats" and "Hit Hand stats" choices in the Stats view, to be consistent with the new Mac version's UI.

Version 4.2.2 (Released Jun. 08, 2011)

Minor update: make the app's App Store icon more detailed.

Version 4.2.1 (Released May 23, 2011)

Small improvements: change a Deal-To-Flop stat, and add another one-time alert explaining the Deal-To feature.

It looks like some users don't understand Deal-To and think the odds are completely wrong when they set Deal-To to something other than River. Hopefully this additional alert will help users understand this feature (and not write "odds are wrong" reviews e.g. as they have on the iPhone version of this app).

• Change Deal-To-Flop stat PocketPairAndNoOvercard to OverPair. OverPair is a more useful stat (e.g. it doesn't overlap with 3OfAKind) and is a more standard stat. Thanks to customer Gabriel V. for suggesting this.
• Show a one-time alert explaining the Deal-To feature the first time you calculate with Deal-To set to something other than River. Note that there was already a one-time alert the first time you changed Deal-To.

Version 4.1.2 (Released May 12, 2011)

1. We have released a Mac version of PokerCruncher! Check it out on the Mac App Store or on our website. In this update we make many small improvements in the iPad version that we made while developing the Mac version. Details are below.
2. Improve fine-grain control of the hand range top x% of hands slider by overloading the 4 left/right/up/down arrow buttons to adjust the slider's value by the minimal amount. This makes it easier to set the exact desired %age value. A U.S. app store review on the iPhone version said that the slider can be a bit jumpy; this fixes this issue; thanks for feedback.
3. Add a note in the main Help screen for following us on facebook and twitter; we'd love to have more fans.

Details on 1):

• Change export scenario text syntax to match the Mac version's improved syntax. So you can now export an entire scenario (including hand ranges) from the iPad version and import/load it into the Mac version.
• Make the odds/percentage button selectable/tap-able during a calculation. Previously you couldn't change this during a calculation.
• Hand range view: Delete the NextCell button/setting; wasn't really that useful or needed; makes this view cleaner. Use built-in next cell directions right/down/diagonal depending on if the selected cell is suited/offsuit/pair.
• Hand range view: Improve grid tapping/selecting slightly: now the tapped cell is selected as early as possible in tap-down instead of in tap-up.
• Small UI improvement: reset the hand range view when reset/clear/assign cards, so that the hand range view is in a clean state even with respect to e.g. selected grid cells.
• Small wording/naming changes in settings, menu commands, etc.

Version 3.7.1 (Released Nov. 27, 2010)

Improve the deal random flop feature and the range top x% of hands slider. Enable proper app suspend/resume for multitasking on iOS 4.2.

1. New Menu buttons for generating various kinds of random flops: broadway, medium, low, suited, paired. These new buttons are enabled in the Menu when you select (tap) a flop card.
• The "Rnd" button on the main screen does the last random flop action you did from the Menu, e.g. you can tap it repeatedly to generate many random broadway flops, or many random paired flops.
• This feature lets you set up more effective what-if scenarios to practice and test yourself on. This was suggested on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread, thanks for writing.
2. Range top x% of hands slider: more accuracy in the %age shown, show tenths not whole numbers, e.g. 10.3%. This addresses a small issue mentioned in the iTunes review by customer "Strapnasty" (U.S. app store), thanks for pointing this out.
3. Enable proper app suspend/resume for multitasking on iOS 4.2. (iPhone version of app already had this.)

Version 3.6.1 (Released Aug. 26, 2010)

Ability to save/load up to 100 hand ranges (max used to be just 6). We have a lot of power users and this was suggested by a few people on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread.

Version 3.5.1 (Released Aug. 06, 2010)

1. New hand range setting "Range %age: Card Removal Effect" in the edit range screen's Menu. This setting lets you take or not take the effect of assigned and dead cards into account in the range %age at the top right (but it doesn't take the effect of other assigned ranges into account). This setting doesn't affect calculation results, only the range %age. The app used to take card removal effect into account in this %age, and this was the only choice, but an experienced/knowledgable TwoPlusTwo forum member pointed out that this is non-intuitive because for starters it doesn't match PokerStove's %age (and also the app's top x% slider's %age). The default now is "off" so all of these %age's match.
2. Prepare save/restore app state to work correctly on iOS 4, for when iOS 4 comes to iPad in the future. In this app's iPhone version on iOS 4, the app state was getting wiped out if you killed the app after suspending it. This change will reset your current app state/data; sorry for this inconvenience; we don't expect to do this often. But we wanted to fix this now so this works correctly from the start when iOS 4 comes to iPad.
3. Range breakdown view:
• Clarify the range breakdown details' hand combinations stats to mention card and range removal effects.
• For a cell that isn't in the range, color the cell's tap-able cell info. light-gray instead of yellow, to match its color in the heat map.
• For a cell that has 0 combinations, color the cell's tap-able cell info. white instead of yellow, to match its color in the heat map.
4. Remove Apple's shine effect on the top half of the app's icon; makes the icon sharper and better looking.

Version 3.3.4 (Released Jul. 09, 2010)

Add a Tutorial on how to use the app to improve your game, and some more Help links.

We've gotten several emails to the effect "this looks like a powerful tool, but is there a user guide or tutorial?". So we've written a Tutorial on our website www.pokercruncher.com that shows how to use PokerCruncher to improve your game. The Tutorial shows how to think in terms of hand ranges, not just specific hands, and how to understand flop odds and do flop texture analysis.

• Add a Tutorial on our website www.pokercruncher.com.
• Add a link to the Tutorial in the app under Menu-->Help,Tutorial,Support.
• Also add links for:
• Emailing support
• Telling a friend about the app (if you like the app we'd love it if you spread the word :))
• Writing an iTunes review
• Visiting our TwoPlusTwo forum thread (thanks to many of you for your posts)

Version 3.3.3 (Released Jun. 20, 2010)

UI improvement: make the Deal-To feature clearer in the UI. We got an email from a customer who thought he was seeing incorrect odds; turns out he had accidentally set Deal-To-Flop and didn't notice what this feature does. Thanks for writing.

• Make the Deal-To feature clearer in the UI by dimming the non-dealt cards to 10% brightness. This is to emphasize that simulation stops right before the non-dealt cards, and doesn't consider the non-dealt cards.

Version 3.3.2 (Released Jun. 10, 2010)

UI improvements:

• Make the deck's cards and buttons bigger so they're easier to tap (the 4 assign card buttons and Clear button).
• Color the range equity breakdown heat map's tap-able cell info. green/red/yellow (positive/negative/breakeven equity).
• Add a dead cards error message for an extreme edge case: when the simulator can't deal all cards because there aren't enough deck cards, because there are too many dead cards.

Version 3.3.1 (Released May 25, 2010)

• Product launch.

PokerCruncher - Advanced - Android

Back To Top

Version 16.1.2 (Released Mar. 19, 2023)

Rename the app from “PkrCruncher” to “PokerCruncher” on the device’s home screen. Using the abbreviated name was resulting in the app not being found when you searched for “PokerCruncher” or “poker” in the device’s app search screen.

Thanks to my longtime buddy Sam T. from Seattle for telling us about this naming bug. See you in Vegas soon Sam.

Version 15.2.1 (Released Sep. 15, 2022)

A UI bug fix: On some devices, the text in a few views was too large / overflowing if you set the device’s system font size setting to very large / maximum size.

Version 15.1.1 (Released Jul. 13, 2022)

A maintenance update for the latest versions of Android.
And some small wording improvements in the main Help screen.

Version 13.1.1 (Released Jul. 27, 2020)

UI and internal improvements:

Version 12.5.1 (Released Sep. 20, 2019)

1) Clarify behavior of “View Card Removal Effect” setting in the UI: takes *card removal effects* into account, but not *range removal effects*. So, enter a player’s specific hand as *2 specific cards* from the *card deck*, not as a (1-combo) *hand range* (add an info. alert for this usage-case).

2) Show card removal effect in the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view (if this setting is ON): dim combos that aren’t live.

3) Related UI improvements.

Version 12.4.1 (Released Aug. 01, 2019)

1) Further improvements to the UI on large size phones:
* Make the app’s window full-screen on phones of all sizes, on all screen-zoom / display-size settings. The window is non-full-screen only on tablets.

* Add higher-res / sharper graphics: card and suit icons, arrow buttons, etc.

2) Internal improvements to the license checking code.

* A separate Coaches & Pros page on our website.

Version 12.1.2 (Released Feb. 27, 2019)

Maintenance update:
* A wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons: Reword these menu buttons to “Export/Back-Up All Saved …”, to indicate that these menu buttons can be used to back up your saved hand ranges and saved scenarios.

Version 11.7.3 (Released Dec. 23, 2018)

Small improvements and a bug fix:
* Bug fix in the “Calc” button’s start/stop/continue behavior.
* Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials. If needed, use the “Number Of Sim. Trials” setting.
* When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”.
* Minor wording improvements in the UI.
* Add the app’s name in small print at the top-left of the main screen.

Version 11.6.1 (Released Sep. 18, 2018)

New feature: undo accidental clears/resets of hand ranges in the main screen.

* Add a section in the main Help screen for this undo feature.

Version 11.5.1 (Released Aug. 19, 2018)

Ability to batch-import saved hand ranges (ability to export was already there).

* Hand range editor screen --> Menu --> Range Text, Export/Import --> Import Saved Ranges …

Many small UI (user interface) improvements to make the UI look and behave better on the latest devices and Android versions.
* Sharper card and button icons
* Small layout improvements in many screens and views
* Cleaner layout on tablets (but is still a phone-layout)
* Fix a card animation glitch on some devices
* Support split-screen mode (in a limited way)

Version 11.2.1 (Released Jun. 30, 2018)

Maintenance update:

1) Small wording improvements in the menus in the main screen and hand range editor screen.

2) Improve the Edit Scenario Notes dialog: add a title and reword its buttons.

Version 11.1.1 (Released Jun. 01, 2018)

1) Add “Clear Saved Hand Range” menu button in the hand range editor screen. For a selected saved range, you can clear both the range and its name, or just the range.

2) Make importing (parsing in) hand ranges via their text more robust: ignore a possible “Weights:” section at the end of the text (the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher has this %age weights feature).

Version 10.4.1 (Released Nov. 20, 2017)

Make some buttons and texts a little bigger so they’re easier to read:
* Main screen: buttons at the top of the screen and along the right hand side, players 1..5’s Equity stats, Deal-To indicator label, Rng button.
* Hand range screens: buttons at the top of the screens e.g. Cancel, Done, Save.

Version 10.3.3 (Released Nov. 13, 2017)

Another small screen size fix. This fix re-enables screen-zoom mode (2x zoom) on large tablets, which makes the app’s screens 2x bigger (but at lower resolution). Our apologies while we sort out screen size issues across all of the various Android device sizes.

Version 10.3.2 (Released Nov. 09, 2017)

Small fix to the previous app update (which improved the app’s screens’ user interface layout on phones with very large screens). A customer reported that the screens were now cut off / truncated a small amount at the bottom on his phone (Motorola Droid Turbo). Our apologies; this app update should fix this problem on all phones of similar size.

Version 10.3.1 (Released Oct. 25, 2017)

Improve the app’s screens’ user interface layout on phones with very large screens (e.g., Samsung Galaxy Note8). The improvement is to make the layout less sparse to make it more aesthetically pleasing on such very large phones.

Version 10.2.1 (Released Jul. 29, 2017)

1) New section “Further Education” in the app’s main menu (“Menu” button) and on the Tutorial & Videos webpage. We've partnered with some great poker pros/coaches/teachers; please check them out!

Version 10.1.1 (Released Feb. 27, 2017)

Hand Range Editor Screen:
* Add “View Range Hand Combo Info” menu button. Shows the number of hand combos in the range (and range %age), taking the “View Card Removal Effect” setting into account.

Version 9.4.2 (Released Aug. 24, 2016)

Improve range grid’s “Auto-Add Grid Cells” setting’s behavior.
* This setting now behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove for both taps and swipes on the range grid. Before, it behaved as a toggle for only taps, not swipes.
* Rename this setting to “Auto-Add/Remove Grid Cells”.

Version 9.2.1 (Released Jul. 07, 2016)

1) Improvements to range grid’s cell selection look and behavior and add/remove cells behavior.
* Selected cells are now indicated by dimming the cells.
* “Auto-Add Range Grid Cells” setting: a single-tap behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove.
* Keep all of the currently selected cells selected after adding/removing cells.

2) Small/minor bug fix: When calculating, take folded players who have hand ranges into account in all cases.

Version 9.1.2 (Released May 05, 2016)

Ability to import hand ranges (via their text).
* In the hand range editor screen, tap Menu —> Export/Import & Share —> …
* Or in the main screen, long-tap on a player’s card/range field.
* Also a “Copy Hand Range Text” menu button.

Ability to export was already there.

This feature lets you share hand ranges across the different versions of PokerCruncher, with friends, on forums, and across other hand range programs.

Version 9.1.1 (Released Feb. 18, 2016)

Videos on how to use PokerCruncher.

* Links to the videos are on our website. Also, the app’s Menu -> “Tutorial & Videos” button takes you to the PokerCruncher Tutorial and videos.

* Two of these videos, created by poker coaches, use the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher, but the main concepts they discuss e.g. hand ranges apply to all versions of PokerCruncher.

Version 8.2.2 (Released Nov. 18, 2015)

A small bug fix update.

1) Main screen: fix Reset menu’s “Reset Random Players” button.

Version 8.2.1 (Released Jul. 29, 2015)

1) Add 6 more Deal-To-Flop stats:

* On page 2 of Stats view:
  - TopPair
  - MiddlePair
  - BottomPair
  - Overpair

  - Pair&OpenEndStraightFlushDraw

Version 8.1.2 (Released Jun. 05, 2015)

1) Improve range heat map details text:
* Sorted list of hands at bottom.
* Better spacing between fields, and use commas.

2) Ability to deal random cards to just one specific player. Long-tap on player, then tap “Deal Random Cards” button.

3) Cleaner, more modern, and higher-res app icon.

Version 7.5.1 (Released Dec. 13, 2014)

1) Fix an edge-case hand ranges equity calculation bug. Details below.

2) Small wording and help info. improvements.

Details:

1) This bug required the scenario to have 3 or more players, and 2 or more hand ranges, where the hand ranges and player and board and dead cards are highly overlapping with very few live hand combos available for assigning.

This wasn’t a bug that one would encounter in “normal” usages of the app, e.g. if there’s only 1 hand range in the scenario, or if there are many hand ranges but many hand combos are live and available for assigning.

It took 5+ years for this bug to be seen/reported (across all versions of this app). Thanks jdr0317 on the TwoPlusTwo poker forums for finding/reporting this bug!

Version 7.4.1 (Released Nov. 03, 2014)

* Enter/edit notes for a scenario. Menu —> Scenario Text … —> Edit Notes. Notes are saved/loaded and exported.
* Increase total number of saved hand ranges to 100 (from 50).

* UI improvements to main screen, stats, Stats view, alerts.
* Improve main Help screen, Tutorial.

Version 7.2.1 (Released Mar., 2014)

Maintenance update: small improvements and fixes, nothing major.

1) Reword hand range card removal effect setting to “View Card Removal Effect”.

2) Add a one-time informational alert on the “Rng” button to tell new users that you can also double-tap a player’s card/range field.

3) Fix a small bug in the InsideStraightDraw Deal-To-Flop stat.

4) Call the app “PokerCruncher - Advanced”.

Version 7.1.1 (Released Jan., 2014)

1) Ability to save/load up to a dozen scenarios inside the app.
* Menu —> Save/Load Scenario —> …
* Includes the entire state of a scenario.
* “Export All Saved Scenarios” button.

2) Handle the phone’s physical “Menu” button; does what the app’s existing “Menu” buttons do.

3) Small improvements to names/abbreviations of some stats and to Help info.

Version 6.2.2 (Released Aug. 04, 2013)

A small improvement to the show hand range name feature in the previous update:

1) Add ".." (ellipses) at the end of the title of the hand range editor screen and range heat map screen if the hand range has a name. This encourages a tap on the title, which shows the hand range's name.

Other changes in the previous update:

• Improved (hi-res) card and "Suits" button graphics.
• UI and Help info. improvements.

Version 6.2.1 (Released Jul. 30, 2013)

1) Show a saved (or loaded) hand range's name more prominently in the UI:
- in the title of the hand range editor screen and range heat map screen; tap the title.
- in the hand range's text and scenario's text.

2) Improved (hi-res) card and "Suits" button graphics.

3) Make "Calculate" button blue.
4) Better disabling/dimming of inactive buttons while a calculation is running.
5) Change dead card graphics.

6) Improve Deal-To feature's info./help popup note.
7) Improve the main Help screen.

Version 6.1.2 (Released Apr. 20, 2013)

1) Adjust the vertical positioning of the Equity stats to make sure that they're completely visible under all system font size settings.

2) Small layout improvements in a few screens.

3) Improve main Help screen and hand range Help screens.

4) Some small wording changes.

5) Increase the default number of Monte Carlo sim trials by a factor of 2, for more accurate stats.

Version 6.1.1 (Released Jan. 30, 2013)

1) Export all saved hand ranges.

• Hand range editor screen --> Menu --> Export All Saved Ranges.
• You can use this feature to back up your hand range library or share your saved hand ranges with friends.

2) New app icon.

Version 5.4.3 (Released Aug. 29, 2012)

Minor update: Make the red "X" circle buttons (close view buttons) a little bigger, to make them easier to tap. These buttons are in the Stats view and in the hand range editor's Suits view.

Version 5.4.2 (Released Jul. 13, 2012)

1) Ability to name/title saved hand ranges. This feature lets you create a custom library of saved/named hand ranges.

2) Improve the "application is not licensed" error message; we now give some reasons why you may get this error message. Only a few people have run into this error message, and it has always been user error. Please contact us if needed.

Version 5.4.1 (Released Jun. 20, 2012)

New app icon and logo.

Version 5.1.5 (Released Feb. 23, 2012)

Make the app state (including saved hand ranges) save/restore correctly when restart the phone or when kill the app. A customer on Google Nexus S was seeing a reset app state after restarting the phone. Thanks Keith H. for letting us know about this bug.

Version 5.1.4 (Released Feb. 02, 2012)

Small UI fix for some phone models: On some phones (e.g. DroidX OS 2.2.1), some buttons were hard to read because their text was white (the default button text color on these phones), and these buttons' background color was also white-ish. In this update we set these buttons' text to black color to give high contrast. Thanks to customer Greg W. (userid "Holden") for letting us know about this bug.

Version 5.1.3 (Released Feb. 01, 2012)

1) Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.

We had used a variant of the group definitions which put some hands in two groups e.g. AKs was in both Group1 and Group5. We now use the correct and strict definition of the groups, so now e.g. AKs is in only Group1.
Thanks to iOS customer Rob S. for noticing this.

2) Minor rewordings e.g. "Clr" button --> "Clear" button.

Version 5.1.2 (Released Jan. 13, 2012)

• Add a link (button) to this app's TwoPlusTwo forum thread in Menu-->Help-->TwoPlusTwoForumThread.
• Make app launch safer/cleaner.

Version 5.1.1 (Released Dec. 20, 2011)

• Product launch.

Version 13.2.1 (Released Aug. 23, 2020)

Some small UI improvements/clarifications, as we let the app stabilize and improve even further after the big new feature added in the last update: Color-Coded Groups In Hand Ranges (Groups Editor).

* When you’re in the Groups Editor, write “[GROUPS EDITOR]” at the beginning of the Hand Range view’s title to make it clearer that you’re in groups editing mode.

* When the board is clicked/selected, for clarity show a label “[Not Applicable For Board]” where the Hand Range view is, instead of showing a completely blank area there.

* Fix/improve some small window sizing/positioning glitches when use the MoveWindowToLeftSideOfScreen and MoveWindowToRightSideOfScreen menu buttons in the Window menu (on macOS Catalina).

===== Previous Update Version 13.1.1 =====
* A BIG new expert-level feature: Color-Coded Groups In Hand Ranges (Groups Editor). And improvements/additions to the Tutorial, the app’s Help screens and button tooltips, and our website.

Version 13.1.1 (Released May 19, 2020)

A big update:
* A BIG new expert-level feature: Color-Coded Groups In Hand Ranges (Groups Editor). Details below.
* Our website’s Tutorial: New section for this new feature, with an example usage/screenshot.
* Also, in the app, see this feature’s “?” Help button. And in the Groups Editor, see the buttons’ tooltips.
* Help screens, Tutorial: Clarify exactly when the Mouse Over A Range’s Stats and Filter Hand Range features are enabled.
* Our website’s Tutorials & Videos page: Expand the FAQ-Features section. And add links to some more blogs by pros/coaches.
* Our website’s Recommended Coaches & Pros page: 2 great new additions: SplitSuit.com, ExceptionalPoker.com. Do check them out.
* Minor edge-case bug fix: Range %age (at top right of Range Editor view) wasn’t being updated sometimes during calculation; fixed.

Color-Coded Groups In Hand Ranges (Groups Editor):

1) Click the new "Groups" button in the Range Editor view to show the Groups Editor. This view lets you break up the current hand range into color-coded groups (up to 10 groups in a hand range), and see useful info. about the groups (e.g., number of hand combos in each group).

2) See this feature’s “?” Help button for information on usage and features (button is at the top right of the Groups Editor view).
* Click/select a group to edit.
* "Name" button.
* Add/remove cells and individual hand combos to/from the selected group.
* Note: Partial/multiple colors/groups on a cell are supported.
* Select cells, multi-select/unselect cells, etc.
* Weights in groups.
* Filter “Add” and “Remove” buttons.
* “Add All Ungrouped” button.
* “L” (Load) button.
* And more buttons/actions.

3) Handling groups across the app:
* Save/Load: A hand range’s groups are saved/loaded when the hand range is saved/loaded. This includes in the app’s state.
* Export/Import: Groups have been added to the PokerCruncher hand range text syntax, so groups are written out to a hand range’s text (at the end of the text), and are parsed back in.
* Groups are full-fledged components of a hand range and are handled everywhere/fully in/for hand ranges across the app.

We hope you enjoy this new feature and put it to good use (we’ve been working on this new feature / app update for months and would love to see that). Pls. do let us know your feedback/suggestions, e.g. on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread or in an App Store review, thanks.

===== Previous Update Version 12.7.1 =====
* Add a new (3rd) state “-” (meaning delete) for the stats’ checkbox buttons, to make the TotalHit stat and the Filter Hand Range operation more flexible/powerful.

Version 12.7.1 (Released Oct. 15, 2019)

Add a new (3rd) state “-” (meaning delete) for the stats’ checkbox buttons, to make the TotalHit stat and the Filter Hand Range operation more flexible/powerful.

So now, for the stats’ checkbox buttons:

    Click               =    Mark stat as ON / OFF in TotalHit, Filter
    SHIFT+click    =    Mark stat as “-” (delete) / OFF

This new “-” state means delete the stat from the TotalHit stat, after adding/unioning all of the checkmarked/ON stats. This also applies in the same way to the Filter Hand Range operation (“Filter” button).

This new “-” (delete) state makes the TotalHit stat and the Filter Hand Range operation more flexible/powerful by allowing us to subtract off some stats after adding some other (larger) stats, allowing us to in a way create different/custom stats and filters. For example, we can add the OnePair stat (with “Hit Hand” stats selected), and then subtract off the OverPair and TopPair stats, to get only the marginal and weak OnePair’s, if that’s what we desire.

Tooltips, Help screens, Tutorial:
* Add tooltips for all stats’ labels in the Stats view for this new feature, including for the TotalHit stat.
* Improve the RemoveAll and AddAll buttons’ tooltips in the Stats view.
* Update the related Help screens (TotalHit stat, Filter Hand Range operation).
* Expand and improve the TotalHit stat’s section in the Tutorial.

===== Previous Update Version 12.6.2 =====
* A further improvement for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting/feature: the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view now shows card removal effect.

Version 12.6.2 (Released Aug. 27, 2019)

A further improvement for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting/feature: the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view now shows card removal effect.

1) The 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view now dims combos that aren’t live due to card removal effect.
* Note that these combos are still ON/OFF editable in the range (e.g. a combo can be in the range but not live).
* Also note that combos are also (slightly less) dimmed when you multi-select cells in the range grid, but this is a different dimmed meaning (multi-select) than card removal effect (the latter dimmed meaning only applies when you have exactly one cell selected in the range grid). Note: SHIFT+click/drag = Select cell(s).

2) Update the “View Card Removal Effect” setting’s tooltip and Help section, and the Tutorial.

3) A somewhat related small UI change: make dead cards in the card deck slightly brighter for better visibility.

4) A naming change: rename the 4x4 “Suits” view to “Hand Combos” view in the UI and Tutorial.

===== Previous Update Version 12.6.1 =====
* Add extra clarification in the UI for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting: takes *card removal effects* into account, but not *range removal effects*.
* Add an info. alert for an important usage-case: if you enter a player’s specific hand as a *hand range* (e.g. you enter “AsKh” in a player’s hand range text field). Instead, enter this as *2 specific cards* from the *card deck*.
* Add a new menu button “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Features” in the “Help” menu.

Version 12.6.1 (Released Aug. 15, 2019)

This update adds extra clarification in the UI for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting, and adds an info. alert for an important usage-case.

The extra clarification, in the “View Card Removal Effect” setting’s tooltip and Help section, is that this setting takes *card removal effects* into account, but not *range removal effects*. So if you enter a player’s specific hand as a *hand range* (e.g. you enter “AsKh” in a player’s hand range text field), then this player’s hand won’t be in the scope of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting because this player doesn’t have any specific cards, he has a hand range.

To solve this, enter the player’s specific hand as *2 specific cards* from the *card deck*.

In addition to the extra clarification in the UI and an info. alert for the above usage-case, this update adds a new menu button “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Features” in the “Help” menu. This new FAQ section on our website’s Tutorials & Videos page has more information on this issue.

===== Previous Update Version 12.5.1 =====
* Educational additions: videos and blogs, a great new recommended pro/coach: Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com), and a Coaches & Pros webpage … to help you use PokerCruncher more effectively and improve your game.

Version 12.5.1 (Released Jun. 14, 2019)

Educational additions: videos and blogs, a great new recommended pro/coach: Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com), and a Coaches & Pros webpage … to help you use PokerCruncher more effectively and improve your game.

1) Links to videos and blogs on PokerCruncher (by pros/coaches) directly inside the app:

    Help menu --> Featured Videos & Blogs --> …

For example the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog by Alec Torelli are must sees in our opinion. Also see our website’s (improved) Tutorials & Videos page.

2) A great new recommended poker pro/coach:

    Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com)

Alec uses PokerCruncher in his work/analysis and has created some excellent videos and teaching material (e.g. the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog mentioned above). If you want to learn how to use PokerCruncher effectively, how to read hands and ranges better, and improve your overall game, we recommend checking out Alec's videos/teaching-material/coaching. We ourselves (including me RJ) have learned a lot from Alec's videos and teaching material e.g. his funnel system for reading hands and ranges. Do check him out!

3) A separate Coaches & Pros page on our website, and a link to this page inside the app:

    Help menu --> Coaches & Pros

We’re very happy that some really good pros/coaches like these guys are using PokerCruncher and have created some great teaching material. Do check them out, including our newest addition Alec Torelli.

===== Previous Update Version 12.4.1 =====
* Improvements to the Range Manager view (new keyboard shortcuts) to enable us to work with quick-saved hand ranges even faster. And a matching improvement to the Quick-Load Hand Range button.

Version 12.4.1 (Released Mar. 07, 2019)

Improvements to the Range Manager view (new keyboard shortcuts) to enable us to work with quick-saved hand ranges even faster. And a matching improvement to the Quick-Load Hand Range button.

1) Range Manager View (“RngMgr” button): Add 3 new keyboard shortcuts to enable us to load, select, and save ranges even faster:

    CMD+[Click Range]         =    LOAD
    SHIFT+[Click Range]       =    Select
    OPTION+[Click Range]    =    SAVE

2) Quick-Load Hand Range Button: Swap the meanings of the SHIFT and CMD keyboard shortcuts for consistency with other views:

    CMD+[Quick-Load Range]      =    *add* selected SUBRANGE to current range
    SHIFT+[Quick-Load Range]    =    *select* selected SUBRANGE’S CELLS in current range

This gives the SHIFT keyboard shortcut “select” meaning, which matches the meaning in the hand range grid and in the Range Manager view.

3) Small edge-case bug fix in the Range Manager view: If you clicked/selected an empty quick-saved hand range and then clicked the Select button, the hand range grid had no selected cell, which is an abnormal state. Now, the AA cell is selected by default.

4) Update the Keyboard Shortcuts Help screen with the new keyboard shortcuts in this update. Also, improve the layout of this Help screen.

===== Previous Update Version 12.3.1 =====
* New stat “Nut Flush Draw”. Improvements for exporting/backing-up our quick-saved hand ranges: UI improvements, backup file. And some UI fixes, adjustments, tweaks.

Version 12.3.1 (Released Feb. 18, 2019)

Summary:
* New stat “Nut Flush Draw” (for DealTo = Flop/Turn).
* Improvements for exporting/backing-up our quick-saved hand ranges: UI improvements, backup file.
* Bug fix for app window maximize behavior on the smallest Mac screens.
* Small UI layout adjustments for the latest macOS.
* Small UI tweaks to give a cleaner look on app launch.

Details:

1) Add a new stat “Nut Flush Draw” in the Stats view (for DealTo = Flop/Turn). And make some small UI improvements in the Stats view.

2) Make it easier/clearer in the UI to export/back-up our quick-saved hand ranges and scenarios.
* In the “View Text” buttons and dialogs, add the wording “Export” and “Back Up”.
* In the quick-save/quick-load hand range pulldown lists, add an “Export/Back-Up Quick-Saved Hand Ranges” button at the bottom of the lists. Also, add an “Exp” button to the Range Manager view.

3) As an auto-backup for our quick-saved hand ranges, automatically write/append all quick-saved hand ranges to a backup file. See Help menu --> [3rd menu button] for the name and location of this backup file and for further details.
**Note**: However we recommend that you periodically export/back-up your quick-saved hand ranges yourself outside of this app.

4) Bug fix: Make app window maximize behavior clean on the smallest and lowest resolution Mac screens, e.g. MacBook Air 11-inch screens. This was working cleanly on larger screens. Also, if the screen’s resolution isn’t high enough to show this app’s entire window, improve the error message shown in this case.

5) Make small UI layout adjustments for the latest macOS (some UI elements had shifted by a couple of pixels here and there). Also, make clicking on cells in the hand range grid precise again at the edges and corners of cells (was off by a couple of pixels for the same reason).

6) Make small tweaks to some UI elements’ initial positions/values/visibilities to give a cleaner look on app launch.

===== Previous Update Version 12.2.1 =====
* Support other programs' hand range text syntaxes for weights (both import and export).

Version 12.2.1 (Released Jan. 31, 2019)

Support other programs' hand range text syntaxes for weights (both import and export).

Hand range programs (across the various operating systems) often have their own *unique* hand range text syntaxes for weights in hand ranges (including this app). This can make *sharing* hand ranges with weights across different hand range programs difficult or even impossible. To help with this, this app can now *import/understand* hand range text that’s in several popular hand range text syntaxes for weights, and can *export/print* hand ranges with weights into these other syntaxes.

1) For example, for this simple hand range with weights in PokerCruncher hand range text syntax for weights:

        JJ+, AKs; Weights: QQ:50%, JJ:25%

... the following other programs' hand range text syntaxes for weights are now also supported in this app (both import and export):

        KK+, AKs, 50:QQ, 25:JJ
        KK+, AKs, [50]QQ[/50], [25]JJ[/25]
        KK+, AKs, QQ:0.50, JJ:0.25
        KK+, AKs, QQ@50, JJ@25
        KK+, AKs, 50.123456789:QQ, 24.987654321:JJ

2) Import:
To enter/import a hand range that’s in any of the above hand range text syntaxes, simply paste the hand range’s text into a player’s hand range text field.

NOTE: In PokerCruncher, weights in hand ranges are *cell-level*, not *combo-level*. So weights on *individual hand combos* in other programs' hand range text syntaxes are *converted* to weights on the *hand combos' cells* (by *averaging* the weights of the added hand combos in each cell) when imported into PokerCruncher.

3) Export:
To export/print a hand range into any of the above hand range text syntaxes, click/select the hand range, then click the “Txt” button in the Range Editor view.

4) Help info. on this feature:
* Click the players’ hand range text fields’ “?” Help button (near the top of the main view (left hand side of the app’s window)).
* See the new section on this feature in the Tutorial on our website.

===== Previous Update Version 12.1.1 =====
* Enhance the Filter Hand Range On Equity operation (“E” button) to do *combo-level* filtering (SHIFT+[E]). Handle the abbreviated hand range text syntax e.g. “K9+”.

Version 12.1.1 (Released Jan. 07, 2019)

1) Enhance the Filter Hand Range On Equity operation (“E” button) to do *combo-level* filtering, in addition to the already existing (coarser) *cell-level* filtering:

    [E]                 =     *cell-level* filtering (using Range Equity Heat Map’s calc. results)
    SHIFT+[E]    =    *combo-level* filtering (using Range Equity Distribution Graph’s calc. results)

2) When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”.

3) Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.

===== Previous Update Version 11.9.2 =====
* A window size / app re-launch bug fix. And new feature: minimize/clean-up a hand range’s hand combos (CTRL+[Filter]).

Version 11.9.2 (Released Dec. 03, 2018)

Sorry for this rapid-fire app update everyone (two app updates in the past few days), but we found a bug that we had to fix right away:
* Bug fix: If you set the app’s window size to Small or Medium, and then quit and re-launch the app, the app could sometimes launch in a corrupted state. This has been fixed. You probably wouldn’t have run into this problem because this is the Expert version of PokerCruncher so you’d want the Large or Max-Size window sizes; but we had to fix this bug right away.

The main recent new feature (in V.11.9.1) is: minimize/clean-up a hand range’s hand combos:
* CTRL+[Filter] = filter hand range on all assign-able hand combos (if "View Card Removal Effect" setting is ON).
* This removes all un-assign-able hand combos from the hand range to minimize/clean-up the hand range's hand combos.
* See the “Filter” button’s tooltip for full details.

Our thanks to customer “blitztime” on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread for suggesting this new feature.

===== Previous Update Version 11.8.1 =====
* Add 100 more quick-saved (app-internal) hand ranges (for a total of 200). And a couple of small UI (user interface) bug fixes.

Version 11.9.1 (Released Dec. 02, 2018)

A small new feature: minimize/clean-up a hand range’s hand combos:
* CTRL+[Filter] = filter hand range on all assign-able hand combos (if "View Card Removal Effect" setting is ON).
* This removes all un-assign-able hand combos from the hand range to minimize/clean-up the hand range's hand combos.
* See the “Filter” button’s tooltip for full details.

Our thanks to customer “blitztime” on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread for suggesting this new feature.

===== Previous Update Version 11.8.1 =====
* Add 100 more quick-saved (app-internal) hand ranges (for a total of 200). And a couple of small UI (user interface) bug fixes.

Version 11.8.1 (Released Nov. 17, 2018)

Add 100 more quick-saved (app-internal) hand ranges (for a total of 200). And a couple of small UI (user interface) bug fixes.

1) Increase the number of quick-saved (app-internal) hand ranges to 200 (from 100). This lets us create/store even more extensive range libraries inside the app, and gives us more range slots for subranges work/analysis.

* Also please note the recently added “Range Manager” view (“RngMgr” button), which makes working with quick-saved hand ranges easier.

2) Bug fix: Fix some overlapping views UI glitches in the Hand Range views that sometimes happened when switching between the Heat Map and Distribution Graph views, and when switching between selecting (clicking) the board and the players.

3) Bug fix: While a calculation is running, a hand range’s range %age (at top-right of Hand Range view) was sometimes being shown incorrectly (but all was OK after calculation stopped so this wasn’t a big problem). This has been fixed.

===== Previous Update Version 11.7.1 =====
* Handle dark-appearance mode in macOS Mojave 10.14+ (System Preferences --> General --> Appearance).

Version 11.7.1 (Released Nov. 05, 2018)

A “colorful” app update: handle dark-appearance mode in macOS Mojave 10.14+ (System Preferences --> General --> Appearance).
* New/different color scheme across the entire UI for dark-appearance mode, to make everything readable and colorful.
* Some small subtle color improvements for light-appearance mode as well, e.g. for some of the blue texts.

We think this app looks kind of cool in dark-appearance mode now. If you also think so and like this app, please consider writing an App Store review, thanks!

===== Previous Update Version 11.6.1 =====
* New feature: a “Range Manager” view (in the Range Editor view). And improvements to the add/remove subrange operations and Undo/Redo Hand Range Edit operation.

Version 11.6.1 (Released Oct. 25, 2018)

New feature: a “Range Manager” view (in the Range Editor view). And improvements to the add/remove subrange operations and Undo/Redo Hand Range Edit operation.

1) New feature: a “Range Manager” view at the bottom of the Range Editor view.
* Click the new “RngMgr” button in the Range Editor view to show this new view.
* This new view makes it easier for us to save/load and work with our ranges and subranges, e.g. add/remove/select subranges.

2) Improve the behavior of the add/remove subrange operations with respect to weights. Now, a subrange's cells' weights are added/subtracted only if the corresponding current range's cells have the same hand combos.

3) Fix a couple of minor edge-case glitches in the Undo/Redo Hand Range Edit operation. There was one edge-case where this operation wasn’t being enabled when it should be, and another edge-case where it was being enabled unnecessarily. These edge-cases didn’t affect normal usage, which is why we didn’t notice these glitches for a while.

4) Update button tooltips, Help screens, and Tutorial on our website with these new features.

===== Previous Update Version 11.5.2 =====
* Ability to batch-import quick-saved hand ranges (ability to export was already there). And a bug fix in the players’ hand range text fields.

Version 11.5.2 (Released Aug. 15, 2018)

1) Ability to batch-import quick-saved hand ranges (ability to export was already there).

* New menu button: File menu --> “Import Quick-Saved Hand Ranges…”

* You can use this export/import feature to back up / restore your hand range library, transfer your saved hand ranges from one Mac to another (or between the other OS/device versions of PokerCruncher), and share your saved hand ranges with others.

2) A bug fix in the players’ hand range text fields: if you cleared out these text fields they were sometimes accidentally being set to an un-named quick-saved hand range, instead of being cleared out. Now they’re cleared out correctly.

===== Previous Update Version 11.4.1 =====
* New feature: enter/edit scenario notes. And improvements to the 4 “View Text” dialogs in this app.

Version 11.4.1 (Released Jul. 07, 2018)

New feature: enter/edit scenario notes. And improvements to the 4 “View Text” dialogs in this app.

1) Add the ability to enter/edit text notes on a scenario.
* To view and edit a scenario’s notes, click the “Txt” button at the top of the main view, and then click the “Edit Notes” button.
* Of course notes are handled in saved scenarios and exported/imported scenarios.

For example, this feature lets us record/save important info. on our key hands, so we can review/analyze our key hands better later.

However note that PokerCruncher is primarily an odds calculation app, not a hand tracking / note-taking app. But we’re happy to add this minimal useful note-taking ability.

2) Improve the 4 “View Text” dialogs in this app, e.g. the Scenario Text dialog (“Txt” button) in 1) above:
* Improve the dialogs’ size.
* Show the dialogs’ text in a separate text view in each dialog for easier viewing and copying/pasting.

===== Previous Update Version 11.3.1 =====
* Add a clearer and more dedicated way to clear/reset a quick-saved hand range: CTRL+[Quick-Save Range]. And improve the formatting and readability of button tooltips.

Version 11.3.1 (Released Jun. 11, 2018)

Some small improvements: to the quick-save hand ranges feature (the 100 app-internal range slots), and to button tooltips.

1) Add a clearer and more dedicated way to clear/reset a quick-saved hand range:

     CTRL+[Quick-Save Range]   =   *Clear* Selected Quick-Saved Range

* You can clear both the range and its name, or just the range.

* Update the quick-save pulldown button’s tooltip with this new feature, and the Hand Range Editor Help screen and the Keyboard Shortcuts Help screen and the Tutorial.

Up til now the way to do this has been to save an empty range on top of the quick-saved range that you want to clear. But a few people have written to us about this and it’s time to add this better way to do this (CTRL+[Quick-Save Range]).

2) Improve the formatting and readability of button tooltips that have a lot of text by adding newline’s and section divider lines in the tooltips, across the entire UI.

===== Previous Update Version 11.2.1 =====
* Enhancements to the Stats view: new button “#comb”, mouse over the TotalHit stat, improve the red “(Mouse Over)” label.

Version 11.2.1 (Released Mar. 26, 2018)

Enhancements to the Stats view:
* New button “#comb” (shows a range’s stats as Number Of Hand Combos).
* Can now mouse over the TotalHit stat.
* Improve the red “(Mouse Over)” label and Help info. of the Mouse Over A Range's Stats feature.

Details:

1) New button “#comb” at the top of the Stats view.
* Shows all of a range’s stats as Number Of Hand Combos / %age (Or Odds).
* Is enabled when the Mouse Over A Range's Stats feature is enabled (but not during a calculation).

2) Can now mouse over the TotalHit stat at the bottom of the Stats view; added a checkbox button for the TotalHit stat for this.

3) Add a tooltip for the red “(Mouse Over)” label at the top-left of the Stats view, e.g. to better indicate when this feature is enabled.

4) Update and improve the Help info. of the Mouse Over A Range's Stats feature, both the in-app Help and the Tutorial.

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to power user/customer James T. for suggesting feature 1).

===== Previous Update Version 11.1.1 =====
* Small UI (user interface) cleanups and improvements, e.g. for the latest macOS (10.13.3).

Version 11.1.1 (Released Feb. 28, 2018)

Small UI (user interface) cleanups and improvements, e.g. for the latest macOS (10.13.3).

1) Fix a few UI glitches that started happening on the latest macOS (10.13.3).
* Fix some button text truncations (“…”) in the hand range editor view.
* Fix the behavior of the app window’s green “+” button (3rd button) (zooms the app window to max-size).

2) A couple of more small UI improvements:
* Make the “Filter” button (in the hand range editor view) bigger, to make this important feature easier to see.
* Make the Deal-To-Flop/Turn/River/HoleCards label and up-arrow a little bigger.

3) Make the Cmd-R keyboard shortcut behave as a toggle to start/stop calculation. And remove the Cmd-. keyboard shortcut (which used to stop calculation) because it isn’t needed any more.

===== Previous Update V.10.10.1 =====
* Improvements to Range Equity Heat Map, Next Card Heat Map, and popup dialogs that request user input.

Version 10.10.1 (Released Oct. 12, 2017)

An improvement to Range Equity Heat Map and Next Card Heat Map: show equities directly in the heat maps.
And small improvements to popup dialogs that request user input.

1) Range Equity Heat Map: Add a new checkbox setting “View Equities”; shows each cell’s equity in the heat map, rounded to a whole number. You can also mouse over a cell to see its (unrounded) equity.

2) Next Card Heat Map: Show each possible next card’s equity in each next card’s cell, rounded to a whole number. You can also mouse over a next card to see its (unrounded) equity.

3) In all popup dialogs that request user input, put the focus on the dialog’s text field when the dialog is shown. This makes it faster to input your text (can start typing right away).

4) In the “Enter Hand Range Name” dialog (when you quick-save a hand range), add a “Cancel Quick-Save” button.

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to customer Trane F. for motivating these improvements.

===== Previous App Update V.10.9.1 =====
* A small new feature (player names) and two improvements to range grid cell selection.

Version 10.9.1 (Released Sep. 19, 2017)

A small new feature (player names) and two improvements to range grid cell selection.
1) New feature: give a name to a player, e.g. “Hero”, “Villain”, anything, using the new “N” button.
2) More flexible cell multi-selection/unselection in the range grid: SHIFT+CMD+click/drag.
3) Better range grid cell selection behavior when you mouse over a stat: select the cells in the stat.

Further details below.

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to two customers for motivating these improvements: James T. via email, and “Mr.Cyprine” on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread.

===== Details =====

1) New feature: give a name to a player, e.g. “Hero”, “Villain”, “BTN”, “UTG”, “LAG”, “TAG”, anything. This helps to keep track of who’s who better for example if there are more than 2 players, and helps to better communicate your hand/scenario to others or even to yourself.
* First select (click) a player, then click the new “N” button at the top of the left hand side of the app’s window.
* Of course, player names are saved in a scenario’s state, are included in a scenario’s text (“Txt” button), and are handled when a scenario is saved/exported/imported.
* Make the player hand range text fields wider to make space for both the player name and hand range name under each text field.

2) More flexible cell multi-selection/unselection in the range grid: SHIFT+CMD+click/drag = Multi-Select/Unselect cell(s). Together with the already existing SHIFT+click/drag (normal cell selection), this lets you select/unselect any group of cells in the range grid, regardless of if they’re next to each other or not.

3) When you mouse over a stat, if you then move the mouse off of the stat, the range grid cells that are in the stat are now selected (dimmed color) in the range grid. This lets you do further things on these cells, perhaps after using SHIFT+CMD+click/drag (feature 2) above) to select only some of the cells, like add/remove some cells, or turn some specific hand combos on/off in some cells (using the 4x4 Suits view), or weight some cells differently.

4) Small improvements to the “Enter Hand Range Name” and “Enter Name Of Player” dialogs: trim whitespace from the ends of the entered name, and do special-characters error checking on the entered name.

5) Update Help screens and button/label tooltips with these new features.

===== Previous App Update V.10.8.1 =====
* New section “Further Education” in the app’s “Help” menu and on the Tutorial & Videos webpage. And some small fixes.

Version 10.8.1 (Released Jul. 19, 2017)

1) New section “Further Education” in the app’s “Help” menu (2 new buttons) and on the Tutorial & Videos webpage. We've partnered with some great poker pros/coaches/teachers, who like and use PokerCruncher, to help improve your game even further; please check them out!

2) A small edge-case bug fix to advanced stats Pair&GutshotStraight and GutshotStraight&Overcard (our apologies).

3) Improve the usage “Note” for the Filter Hand Range On Equity operation.

Our thanks to customer Brian K. for finding the 2) bug.

===== Previous App Update V.10.7.1 =====
* New stat “Ace High”. And small cleanups to some of the recent new features.

Version 10.7.1 (Released Jun. 26, 2017)

1) New stat “Ace High” (in advanced non-draw stats section).

2) Small cleanups to some of the recent new features:
* When load previous/next calc’ed scenario, reset the undo/redo hand range edit menu command.
* Improve the tooltips and Help info. of the save/load and quick-save/quick-load hand range buttons. E.g. say that quick-save/quick-load can be used for subranges and range refinements, in addition to for library ranges.
* Small improvements to a few other tooltips and Help screens, e.g. the Calc’ed Scenarios History Help screen.

===== Previous App Update V.10.6.1 =====
* New feature: Calc’ed Scenarios History. And a small wording change in the UI.

Version 10.6.1 (Released Jun. 04, 2017)

New feature: Calc’ed Scenarios History. And a small wording change in the UI.

We can use the Calc’ed Scenarios History to go backwards and forwards to different points/streets of a hand that we’re analyzing, or to different scenarios that we calc’ed a while ago.

1) Calc’ed Scenarios History

* A history of the last 50 calc'ed scenarios is automatically saved app-internally.

* The “File” menu --> "Load Previous Calc'ed Scenario" and "Load Next Calc'ed Scenario" menu buttons let you navigate backwards and forwards in the scenario history.

* Keyboard shortcuts:
        Cmd-Option-LeftArrow           Load Previous Calc'ed Scenario (50 levels)
        Cmd-Option-RightArrow         Load Next Calc'ed Scenario (50 levels)

* New Help screen in the Help menu and new section in the Tutorial on our website for this new feature.

2) A small wording change in the UI: Hand Ordering --> Hand Ranking System.

===== Previous App Updates V.10.4.1, V.10.5.1 =====
* A big new expert-level feature: Next Card Heat Map.
* Improvements (new feature additions) to the Range Heat Map and Filter Hand Range operation.

Version 10.5.1 (Released May 16, 2017)

Improvements (new feature additions) to the Range Heat Map and Filter Hand Range operation.

1) Range Heat Map: Add the ability to set a custom value for Breakeven Equity (using the new slider under Breakeven Equity’s value).

Note that the default value for Breakeven Equity is (100% / [number of active (non-folded) players]).

2) Filter Hand Range operation: Add the ability to filter a hand range on equity (using the new “E” button to the right of the “Filter” button in the Range Editor view).

**** Note ****
We feel that the Filter Hand Range On Equity operation (the new "E" button) is useful/applicable in more-theoretical-type scenarios like range vs. range or for studying GTO play. In more-real-life scenarios like specific hand vs. range, we feel that the Filter Hand Range On Hand Types (Stats) operation (the already existing ”Filter" button) is more useful/applicable.

3) Update Help screens and Tutorial on our website with these new features.

===== Previous App Update V.10.4.1 =====
* A big new expert-level feature: Next Card Heat Map.

Version 10.4.1 (Released Apr. 29, 2017)

A big new expert-level feature: Next Card Heat Map.

This feature shows how each possible next board card (for the turn or river) changes the equity of the currently selected (clicked) player. You can view this info. as a heat map and also as text.

This feature is enabled when specific flop or flop+turn cards have been assigned, and when there's a (blank) next board card (per the Deal-To setting).

1) Instructions
* Calculate, select (click) a player, then click the "Heat Map" button or “Txt” button.
* These new buttons are at the bottom-right of the Card Deck view.
* There’s also a new “?” Help button/screen for this feature.

2) Next Card Heat Map
* Each possible next card is colored on a color spectrum according to its equity (for the currently selected (clicked) player).
* You can mouse over a next card to see its equity (for the currently selected (clicked) player).

3) Next Card Heat Map Text
* A table of all possible next cards and their equities (for the currently selected (clicked) player) is shown, followed by a sorted list of all possible next cards.
* The list is sorted on the next cards' equities (for the currently selected (clicked) player), in highest equity to lowest equity order.
* So, the next cards at the *top* of the list are the *best* next cards for the currently selected (clicked) player, and the next cards at the *bottom* of the list are the *worst* next cards for the currently selected (clicked) player.

4) New section for this feature in the Tutorial on our website. Also see this feature’s “?” Help button/screen.

(And just a reminder, the previous app update V.10.3.3 was: some more improvements to quick-save/quick-load (app-internal) hand ranges for managing subranges.)

Version 10.3.3 (Released Apr. 02, 2017)

1) Some more improvements to quick-save/quick-load (app-internal) hand ranges for managing subranges.

* When add/remove a subrange, select the subrange’s cells in the range grid (cell-level selection, not hand-combo-level selection).

* CMD+[Quick-Load Range] = *Select* selected SUBRANGE’S CELLS in current range (cell-level selection, not hand-combo-level selection). Note: SHIFT+… = *Add* …, CTRL+… = *Remove* …

* Update button tooltips, Help screens, and Tutorial on our website with these new features. Use wording “subrange” (not just “range”). Explain how to use subranges more e.g. in the Filter Hand Range Help screen (how to generate subranges).

2) If the screen’s resolution isn’t high enough to run PokerCruncher-Expert (“looks like 1280 x 800” or higher), then show an error alert on app launch and disable the app window sizing operations.

(And just a reminder, the previous app update V.10.3.2 was: more improvements to quick-save/quick-load (app-internal) hand ranges, and to the filter hand range feature.)

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to an analytical user/customer “J.T.” for suggesting many of the subranges-related improvements in the last few app updates. And also to a few others who have written to us about subranges. We’ll think about further improvements for subranges in the future.

Version 10.3.2 (Released Mar. 14, 2017)

More improvements to quick-save/quick-load (app-internal) hand ranges, and to the filter hand range feature.

1) Increase the number of quick-saved (app-internal) hand ranges to 100 (from 35). This gives us enough range slots to store an extensive range library, and also to store many subranges for thorough subrange work/analysis.

2) Show all quick-saved hand ranges in the File menu -> View Quick-Saved Hand Ranges Text dialog, in a cleaner way. This dialog is useful for e.g. export and offline backup purposes.

3) Show each quick-saved hand range’s range %age and hand combo count in the quick-save and quick-load pulldown lists. This applies for ranges that you quick-save from now on, not to previously quick-saved ranges. This lets us see how big a quick-saved range is without having to load it in first.

4) Truncate the items of the quick-save and quick-load pulldown lists at the end instead of at the middle. This lets us always see the info. on the left hand side fully i.e. the ranges’ names and range %age’s and hand combo counts.

5) Enable the filter hand range feature for Deal-To = River, with specific flop+turn+river cards assigned (in addition to Flop/Turn).

6) Update button tooltips, Help screens, and Tutorial on our website with these new features.

(And just a reminder, the previous app update V.10.3.1 was: improvements to quick-save/quick-load hand ranges; for example, add/remove subranges.)

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to an analytical user/customer “J.T.” for suggesting many of the subranges-related improvements in the last couple of app updates. And also to a few others who have written to us about subranges. We’re thinking about further improvements for subranges.

Version 10.3.1 (Released Feb. 21, 2017)

Improvements to quick-save/quick-load hand ranges (the 35 app-internal range slots) to make it easier and more convenient to work with subranges and range refinements (e.g. flop -> turn -> river). For example, add/remove subranges.

1) SHIFT+[Quick-Load Range] = *add* selected range to current range.

2) CTRL+[Quick-Load Range] = *remove* selected range from current range.

3) Turn range naming off/on (using quick-save pulldown button). Example usage: after you have the quick-save range slots named per your personal usages, you can turn range naming off for a while to speed up quick-saves.

4) OPTION+[Quick-Save Range] = quick-save range with range naming on.

5) Update button tooltips, Range Editor Help screen, Keyboard Shortcuts Help screen, and Tutorial on our website with these new features.

(And just a reminder, the previous update V.10.2.1 was: calculate/enable all of the Stats view’s stats/features for Deal-To = River/HoleCards, in addition to Flop/Turn.)

Version 10.2.1 (Released Feb. 09, 2017)

Calculate/enable all of the Stats view’s stats/features for Deal-To = River/HoleCards, in addition to Flop/Turn.

1) Calculate advanced non-draw stats (Top/Second/Bottom-Pair, etc.) and Make/Hit stats for Deal-To = River, in addition to Flop/Turn.
- These stats are expensive/slow to calculate for Deal-To = River, so a new checkbox setting “Calc. Adv. & Make/Hit Stats For Deal-To=River” has been added near the bottom of the Stats view. We recommend turning on this checkbox setting only when you need these additional stats.

2) Enable the mouse over a range's stats feature for Deal-To = River/HoleCards, in addition to Flop/Turn.

3) Update in-app Help info. and Tutorial on our website with these new features.

(And just a reminder, the previous update V.10.1.1 had the feature SHIFT+[Filter] = negative-filter hand range.)

Version 10.1.1 (Released Jan. 14, 2017)

An improvement (addition) to the filter hand range feature, and small formatting improvements to a few Help screens.

1) SHIFT+[Filter] = negative-filter hand range, i.e. remove the selected hand types (stats) from the hand range. So, [Filter] is the already existing normal filter hand range operation, and SHIFT+[Filter] is the new negative-filter hand range operation.

2) Better spaces/tabs formatting in a few Help screens, e.g. the “Keyboard Shortcuts” Help screen.

(And just a reminder, the previous update V.9.4.1 had the big new expert-level feature %age weights in hand ranges.)

Version 9.4.1 (Released Nov. 22, 2016)

A big new expert-level feature: %age weights in hand ranges. And some smaller new features and improvements.

1) New feature: %age weights in hand ranges. (See Details below and Tutorial on our website.)
2) New checkbox setting “Auto-Stop Monte Carlo Calculation” (under “Calculate” button); is configurable.
3) Update in-app Help info. and Tutorial on our website with these new features.
4) Minor UI tweaks/improvements across the app.
5) Improve app icon (add “EXP” label to indicate expert-level).
6) This app now requires OS X 10.9 or later.

===== Details =====

1) %age Weights In Hand Ranges

%age weights are a more granular, more general, and more convenient weighting mechanism than hand combo weights (Suits view).

A) Assigning %age Weights
* %age weights can only be assigned to cells that have been added to the hand range.
* The “Weight" text field lets you assign a %age weight to the selected added cell(s), 1% .. 99%.
* For an added cell, a blank/cleared weight means no weight i.e. the default weight 100%.
* Can use the "25%", "50%", "75%" buttons (OPTION+click on these buttons sets custom values for these buttons).
* Can multi-assign weights (when you have multiple added cells selected).

B) Fast-Assigning %age Weights
* The "Rmbr" button remembers the current weight; OPTION+click/drag on an added cell(s) assigns the remembered weight to the added cell(s).

C) Viewing %age Weights
* In the range grid, weighted cells are colored on a yellow -> orange gradient (fully added cells) or light-green -> green gradient (partially-added cells).
* New checkbox setting “View Weights” shows weights in the range grid.

D) %age Weights Across The App
* Range %age’s and hand combo counts in the Range Editor, Heat Map, and Distribution Graph views are now weight-adjusted.
* Hand range text syntax has been expanded to include %age weights, by adding an optional “Weights: …” section at the end.
* Of course, %age weights are now handled in save/load, quick-save/quick-load, and export/import, for both hand ranges and scenarios.
* The Range Editor view’s “?” (Help) button/screen has been updated, e.g. new section on %age weights.
* Other Help screens have also been updated for %age weights e.g. the Keyboard Shortcuts Help screen.

Version 9.3.1 (Released Sep. 10, 2016)

A couple of new user interface features:
* Zoom app’s window to max-size
* Undo/redo hand range edit (1 level)

And a few UI improvements, e.g. to drag on range grid behavior.

===== Details =====

1) Zoom app’s window to max-size. This feature is in the “Window” menu. Or click app window’s small green “+” button (3rd button).

2) Undo/redo hand range edit (1 level). This is in the “Edit” menu. Or Cmd-Ctrl-Z. Helps recover from accidental range resets. Or can use this to go back and forth and compare two variations of a range.

3) Range Editor: Drag on range grid now behaves as a toggle i.e. add/remove cells (as for click on range grid). Before, this behaved as a toggle for only clicks, not drags.

4) Remove an unintuitive and error-prone UI shortcut: click on a player’s Equity stat to fold/un-fold the player. This was causing accidental/unintended fold/un-fold’s and calculation resets. We’ll instead do this the normal and intuitive way: click/select the player, then click the “Fold/Un-Fold” button.

5) Improve “Help” menu a little, e.g. add a link to the app’s Version Release History.

Version 9.2.1 (Released May 20, 2016)

Small improvements to the previous app update:
* Better range grid cell selection behavior.
* Text field entry for quick-saved hand ranges.

And some other small improvements and bug fixes (mainly UI), nothing major.

===== Details =====

1) Range Grid: Keep all of the currently selected cells selected after adding/removing cells (instead of keeping just one cell selected). Lets you see which cells were affected by the add/remove, and lets you do another operation on the (same) selected cells.

2) Players’ Hand Range Text Fields: Can enter a quick-saved hand range’s number (e.g. “#10”) or name (e.g. “ButtonRaise”), for fast entry/loading of quick-saved hand ranges.

3) Fix/improve disabling and enabling of a few UI elements when start and stop calculation:
* Card Deck: Dead cards and blank cards (already assigned cards).
* Suits Grid (In Range Editor View): Suits/combo buttons.

4) Small improvements/updates to Help dialogs (main Help dialog, players’ hand range text fields Help dialog).

5) Calculation: Take folded players who have hand ranges into account in all cases. They weren’t being taken into account when no active player (non-folded player) has a hand range. But they (correctly) were being taken into account when an active player (non-folded player) has a hand range, which is the normal usage scenario, so this wasn’t a serious bug.

This is an important and differentiating feature of PokerCruncher. The ranges of players who have folded out of the hand (select the player, then click “Fold” button) can affect the hands and ranges and equities/stats of the active players (non-folded players), and PokerCruncher lets you model this effect of the folded players in your scenario.

Version 9.1.2 (Released Apr. 01, 2016)

Videos, improvements to hand range editing and hand range names, and small UI cleanups.
1) Announcing videos on how to use PokerCruncher.
2) Improvements to hand range editing (faster and more desktop-standard click/drag on cells behavior).
3) Improvements to quick-saved hand ranges (can name them now) and hand range names.
4) Small UI layout adjustments to make the UI fully clean on OS X El Capitan and also on older OS’s.
5) Small improvements to help/info dialogs.

Please see the full details of the improvements and changes below.

Thank you to Hunter Cichy of CheckShovePoker for suggesting many of these improvements, and also for making one of the PokerCruncher videos (the 42-minute one, see our website for link).

===== Details =====

1) Announcing videos on how to use PokerCruncher
* Two poker coaches (Hunter Cichy of CheckShovePoker, and SchoolOfCards) have each made good videos on how to use PokerCruncher (thanks guys!). Links to the videos are on our website. Also, the app’s Help menu -> “Tutorial & Videos” button takes you to the PokerCruncher Tutorial and videos.

2) Improvements to hand range editing
* In the range grid in the range editor view, cells are now added to the range right away as you click/drag on them (single-click = toggle i.e. add/remove). This is faster than the old (default) 2-step behavior where you first selected cells (orange color) and then had to click the “Add” button to add them to the range.
* The “Auto-Add Range Grid Cells” setting has been removed. You may have been using this setting to make editing faster (1-step), but now we’ve made auto-add the default/only behavior, because it’s faster and is more standard in desktop programs in this space.
* To just select cells (not add/remove them), use the SHIFT modifier key; there are 3 modifier keys:
  SHIFT + Click/Drag = SELECT cell(s)
  CTRL + Click/Drag = REMOVE cell(s)
  CMD + Click = ADD+ cell
* Selected cells are now indicated by dimming the cells (the old method was to color selected cells orange). Using dimming lets us see the cells’ underlying color e.g. yellow (added to the range) or non-yellow (not added).
* NOTE: The behavior of the Top X% slider has *not* changed. It only selects cells; you then need to click the “Add” button to add the selected cells.

3) Improvements to quick-saved hand ranges and hand range names
* Can now give user-assigned names to quick-saved ranges (when you quick-save a range into one of the #1 .. #35 slots). To give names to your existing quick-saved ranges, quick-load them in one by one and quick-save them back to their corresponding slots, entering a name for each of them.
* Range names are now also shown under a player’s text field on the LHS. This applies to quick-saved ranges and also to regular ranges saved as .rng files on your filesystem.
* Increase the number of quick-saved ranges to 35 (from 30).
* File menu -> “View Quick-Saved Hand Ranges Text” shows you all of your quick-saved ranges and lets you export them using copy/paste.

Version 8.2.1 (Released Jul. 30, 2015)

A big new feature: filter hand range (on flop/turn). And some small UI improvements.

1) New ”Filter" button in the Range Editor view lets you filter (narrow down) a hand range based on hand types (stats) that you select (turn on) in the Stats view using the stats' checkbox buttons. This operation applies (is available) when specific flop or flop+turn cards have been assigned, and when Deal-To = Flop/Turn.

a) See this feature's in-app Help for more information (click the "?" button that's under the "Filter" button). Also see the Tutorial.

b) Undo/Redo:
* Click the left and right buttons under the "Filter" button. (1 level of undo)
* Or, quick-save each variation of the hand range into the #1 .. #30 slots so you can go back to any previous point (using the quick-save pulldown button at the top of the Range Editor view). (multiple levels of undo)

Our thanks to a few people on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread for suggesting this filter range feature (e.g., Notam, RiverFenix, dilurme).

2) Some small UI improvements:

* Disable the AddPlayer and RemovePlayer and Deal-To left and right buttons if they don’t apply.

* Better visual indication of the enabled/disabled state of the “mouse over a range’s stats” feature in the Stats view.

Version 8.1.2 (Released May 21, 2015)

A new Deal-To-Flop/Turn stat, and some small improvements and small new features.

1) New stat “PocketPair Below (only) Top Card”, for Deal-To-Flop/Turn.
I.e., a pocket pair that’s weaker than TopPair but stronger than SecondPair, e.g., when a player has JJ and the flop is K92. This new stat works with all of the other features in the program e.g. the mouse over a range’s stats feature.

2) Cleaner and more modern app icon.

3) Improve range heat map details text (e.g., sorted list of hands, better spacing between fields). Also range distribution graph details text.

4) Ability to deal random cards to just one specific player.
Click/select the player, hold down the Shift key and then click the "Rnd" button (or use Shift-Cmd-Ctrl-R keyboard shortcut).

Further Details:

3) Improve range heat map details text, range distribution graph details text:
* Heat map: show a sorted list of all hands at the bottom (sorted on Equity).
* Clarify the wording of the handling of card and range removal effects. No changes to stats/functionality.
* Use commas to separate the fields, and improve the spacing between the fields.
* Heat map: small bug fix: If there’s exactly 1 assign-able hand combo in a cell then the specific suits of the hand combo were sometimes being written incorrectly; write the suits correctly. This was just a printing error; didn’t affect the stats.

Version 7.6.1 (Released Dec. 11, 2014)

1) Fix an edge-case hand ranges equity calculation bug.  Details below.

2) Dim all disabled buttons during calculation correctly on OS X Yosemite (10.10.x).

3) Small wording and help info. improvements.

Details:

1) This bug required the scenario to have 3 or more players, and 2 or more hand ranges, where the hand ranges and player and board and dead cards are highly overlapping with very few live hand combos available for assigning.

This wasn’t a bug that one would encounter in “normal” usages of the app, e.g. if there’s only 1 hand range in the scenario, or if there are many hand ranges but many hand combos are live and available for assigning.

It took 5+ years for this bug to be seen/reported.  Thanks jdr0317 on the TwoPlusTwo poker forums for finding/reporting this bug!

Version 7.5.1 (Released Oct. 03, 2014)

1) Additional top x% hand orderings (8 total):

* The “Ordering” popup selector under the top x% of hands slider lets you choose the hand ordering:

  - PokerStove
  - Sklansky-Malmuth Hand Groups
  - Sklansky-Karlson(Chubukov) All-In No-Limit Hold’em Rankings
  - Heads Up
  - 4 ProPokerTools hand orderings

* PokerStove’s hand ordering (the only previous hand ordering the app had) is the default.

* These hand orderings are used by the top x% of hands slider/text-field, and also when you enter a range %age in a player's hand range text field.

* Save the currently selected hand ordering in the app’s state.

* Add a section on the hand orderings to the Tutorial, and update the app’s Help info.

2) App Icon: Use square corners instead of rounded corners.

3) Improve some popup dialogs’ messages/instructions/buttons, e.g. the Import Scenario dialog.

Version 7.4.1 (Released Jul., 2014)

Improvements to flop/turn hit stats and TotalHit stat, some new hand range features and improvements, and many small UI improvements.

1) Flop/Turn Hit Stats: Improve the definition/meaning of flop/turn hit stats and Top/Middle/Bottom-Pair stats. For example, before, if the selected player has A2 and the flop is AKK (suits don’t matter), the selected player didn’t get credit for hitting OnePair (or TwoPair) on the flop; now he gets credit for hitting OnePair. Now, he *makes* TwoPair, and *hits* OnePair in this case. He also gets credit for TopPair. Other similar stats and cases have also been improved/fixed, for both DealTo=Flop and DealTo=Turn.

2) TotalHit Stat: Take overlapping of stats into account. So the TotalHit stat is now the union of the checkmarked stats, not a simple sum of the checkmarked stats as before.

3) Tutorial: Improve the explanation of flop/turn hit stats, add a section on TotalHit stat.

4) Hand Range Editor View: New mode “bottom x% of hands” for the range slider (in addition to the already existing “top x% of hands” mode).

5) Built-In Hand Ranges View: Don’t include pair cells in Broadway/Medium/Low selectors.

6) Range Heat Map View: ViewDetails text: If a cell has only 1 hand combo then write that specific hand combo instead of the cell’s general name (e.g., write “AhKh” instead of “AKs”).

7) UI improvements, e.g., to the base view, stats view:

a) Base View:
* Improved indication of the selected card/player:
  - Color the selected card light-blue (instead of dimming the card).
  - Highlight the selected player’s number.
* Show the number of dead cards in the card deck, e.g., “Dead: 1”.
* Shift-Tab selects previous player (and Tab selects next player).
* Small UI cleanup: disable the “Stop” button during enumerated calculations.

b) Stats View:
* Highlight the selected player’s number/title.
* Use spaces in all stat names for better readability.

c) Stats:
* Write “0%” instead of “0.00%” for stats that have a value of exactly 0%.
* Write infinity symbol instead of text “inf” in the UI.

d) Hand Range Editor View:
* Small UI cleanup: when mousing over a stat (when doing flop/turn texture analysis), reset the top x% of hands slider and suits view.

e) General:
* Improve some dialogs’ wordings.
* Update and improve Help screens.
* Add links to Tutorial’s sections in Help screens.
* Improve a few buttons’ tooltips.

Version 7.3.1 (Released Apr., 2014)

This update gives Deal-To-Turn all of the stats and features that Deal-To-Flop has.

1) Calculate the full set of stats for Deal-To-Turn (as for Deal-To-Flop).

2) Change MiddlePair stat to SecondPair, to give it a sensible meaning for Deal-To-Turn.

3) Implement the “mouse over a range’s stats’ checkbox buttons” feature for when you’re doing turn texture analysis (as for flop texture analysis). I.e., Deal-To = Turn, with a specific flop+turn.

4) Updates and improvements to Help info.

5) Small app init cleanup: don’t unnecessarily show the Stats view’s red “(Mouse Over)” label and this label’s “?” Help button during app init.

Note that calculation runs slower for Deal-To-Turn than for Deal-To-Flop, because the full set of stats are much more expensive to calculate for Deal-To-Turn. However this shouldn’t be an issue because Mac’s are pretty fast in general.

Version 7.2.1 (Released Feb., 2014)

This update fixes the OS X version problem that the distribution graph feature had introduced, and adds some more expert-level features. Our apologies for the previous temporary fix update (it was an exceptional situation); thanks for your patience for this full fix update.

1) Get range equity distribution graphs working on all supported OS X versions (10.6.8 or later). This also fixes problems like not being able to click on the hand range grid cells that this was causing on old OS X versions.

2) New checkbox setting “View Hand Combo Counts” in Range Editor view (each grid cell in the range shows its hand combo count). Also note the already existing related checkbox setting “View Card Removal Effect” (reworded slightly).

3) Mouse over a range’s stats’ checkbox buttons (when doing flop texture analysis, and in Range Editor view) to see which hands of the range hit a particular stat.
* The hands that hit the stat are shown in red color in the hand range grid.
* When mousing over a stat, the range %age (top right) adjusts and shows the %age of the range’s hand combos that hit the stat (red color). The hand combo counts in the hand range grid also adjust similarly.

4) Update Help info. (“?” buttons) and Tutorial with these new features.

5) At the bottom left of the Heat Map and Distribution Graph views, add a note that the results include both card and range removal effects. Note that the Range Editor view shows only card removal effect, via a checkbox setting.

6) Fix a small bug in the InsideStraightDraw Deal-To-Flop stat (was having minor effect).

7) Reword the app’s name to call it the “Expert” version of PokerCruncher.

Our thanks to customer “Jake” for suggesting the mouse over a range’s stats feature.

Version 7.1.2 (Released Feb., 2014)

***** IMPORTANT *****
Don’t install this update before reading the below first.

If you have OS X 10.7.x or earlier, install this update because it fixes some basic problems.

If you have OS X 10.8.x or later, you do *NOT* need to install this update, and most probably won’t want to as explained below. (But no harm done in the long run if you do install it.)

This update is a temporary fix update (roll back to previous version) for users that have OS X 10.7.x or earlier. Some users with these older versions of OS X have reported to us that the previous range equity distribution graph update (V.7.1.1) broke basic behavior in the app on their machines (like clicking on the hand range grid cells). We then confirmed this on our side as well. But everything is working OK on OS X 10.8.x or later.

Our apologies for this problem; we should have tested on all versions of OS X. This roll back update is a temporary workaround to get the app working for everyone while we investigate this problem and figure out how to add the range equity distribution graph feature cleanly on all versions of OS X. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Version 7.1.1 (Released Jan., 2014)

Summary:
* Range equity distribution graphs (please see Tutorial).
* A few more Deal-To-Flop stats e.g. TwoOvercards.
* Clarify the “Import Scenario” feature’s instructions.

Details:

1) Range equity distribution graphs.

* An equity distribution graph is a good way to see a range’s equity breakdown across all of its hand combos. The shape of this graph can tell you a lot about the range’s equity breakdown. The already existing range equity heat map feature is another good (but slightly different) way to see this breakdown. Distribution graphs and heat maps each have their unique strengths and complement each other well.

* Please see the PokerCruncher Tutorial for a further explanation of range equity distribution graphs and how they can be useful in hand analysis.

* X-axis: The range’s hand combos, sorted from highest equity (at the left) to lowest equity (at the right).

* Y-axis: Each hand combo’s equity.

* Click on a point on the graph (on a point that corresponds to a hand combo) to see that particular hand combo’s details.

* “View Details” button shows all hand combos’ equities, in sorted order. This is a different ViewDetails output than for heat maps.

* Your selection/preference for viewing Heat Map or Distribution Graph is saved in the app’s state.

2) A few more Deal-To-Flop stats:
* TwoOvercards
* FlushDraw&TwoOvercards
* GutshotStraight&Overcard

3) Clarify the “Import Scenario” feature’s instructions: the text that you’re importing must be in PokerCruncher scenario text format.

Our thanks to customer “Matt” for suggesting the range equity distribution graph feature. And our thanks to customer “Notam” on this app’s TwoPlusTwo forum thread for suggesting the new Deal-To-Flop stats.

Version 6.4.1 (Released Dec. 03, 2013)

Summary:

• Some new Deal-To-Flop stats, e.g. TopPair, MiddlePair, BottomPair.
• Small changes to names/abbreviations of some stats.
• Improvements to hand range names, e.g. show a hand range's name more prominently in the UI.
• Clean up and improve "File" menu.
• Small improvements to Help info. and button tooltips.

Details:

1) Some new Deal-To-Flop stats:

• OnePair breakdown stats: TopPair, MiddlePair, BottomPair.
• TwoCardBackdoorFlushDraw.
• Pair&OpenEndStraightFlushDraw.

2) Improvements to hand range names:

• Show a saved (or loaded) hand range's name more prominently in the UI:
• In the title of the hand range view.
• In the hand range's text and scenario's text.
• Support hand range names in save/load scenario and export/import scenario.

3) Clean up and improve "File" menu:

• Remove some unnecessary (non-applicable, always disabled) commands.
• Add some new commands with associated keyboard shortcuts, e.g. "Reset Scenario" (Cmd-N).

Version 6.3.1 (Released Oct. 02, 2013)

Summary:

• Ability to change the size of the app's window.
• Quick-save and quick-load hand ranges.
• Hand combinations count in hand range view.
• Button tooltips improvements.
• Small help info. improvements.
• A small bug fix.

Details:

1) Ability to change the size of the app's window.

• 3 sizes: small, medium, large.
• Select Window menu --> Small / Medium / Large.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Cmd-Option-S, Cmd-Option-M, Cmd-Option-L.
• Re-size the buttons at the top of the main view for this feature (Reset buttons, n:1, Rnd, etc.).

2) Ability to quick-save and quick-load hand ranges (up to 30). This is in addition to the already existing more general way of saving/loading hand ranges using the filesystem (Save/Load buttons).

• New small popup buttons for Quick-Save and Quick-Load in the hand range editor view, next to the Save and Load buttons.
• Note that quick-saved hand ranges can't be named. You can use the more general Save button to name hand ranges.

3) Add hand combinations count to hand range view, next to the range %age at the top right. E.g., "28/1326 comb".

4) Improve button tooltips, e.g. to give the buttons' keyboard shortcuts.

5) Improve hand range text fields' "?" button Help info., e.g. to mention that you can also enter a specific hand e.g. "AsKh" in the text fields.

6) Small bug fix: the currently selected player's hand range editor view was being reset accidentally when you removed another player that has a hand range (using the "-" button or the NumPlayers popup button); fixed. This wasn't a disastrous bug because the currently selected player's hand range wasn't cleared, it was still there and assigned to the currently selected player, only the hand range view was temporarily cleared.

Version 6.2.1 (Released Jun. 19, 2013)

Some new UI features. Graphics, UI, and Help info. improvements. And a UI bug fix.

1) New keyboard shortcuts.

• For: add/remove player, Deal-To, reset players/board, deal random cards, fold/un-fold player, and clear card/HandRange.
• See Help menu --> PokerCruncher Keyboard Shortcuts for the full list.
• Change ResetAll's keyboard shortcut to Cmd-Ctrl-L (from Cmd-Shift-L).

2) Click a player's Equity stat to fold/un-fold the player (as a shortcut for the Fold/Un-Fold button).

3) Graphics, UI, and Help info. improvements.

• Improved (retina) card and Suits buttons graphics.
• Better disabling/dimming of inactive buttons while a calculation is running.
• Change dead card graphics (dead cards are heavily dimmed).
• Improve Deal-To feature's info./help popup note.
• Improve the main Help screen and the hand range "?" Help screens. E.g., add Help info. for the top x% of hands slider's hand ordering. Also, a new "?" Help button for Built-In Hand Ranges.
• Terminology change: hand histogram --> hand type stats (OnePair, TwoPair, etc.).

4) Fix a bug in the disabling/enabling of the (52) assign-card buttons when you calculate/stop. The buttons weren't being enabled correctly in some cases when the calculation stops.

Version 6.1.2 (Released Mar. 26, 2013)

Summary:

• Keyboard shortcuts
• Range %age entry in players' text fields
• Improved Help menu and Help screens

Thanks to customer Dan B. for suggesting these improvements, which let us enter hands and calculate faster.

Details:

1) Keyboard shortcuts:

Command-R  -->  Calculate
Command-.  -->  Stop calculation
Command-Shift-L  -->  Reset all

2) You can now enter range %age's (e.g. top X% of hands) in players' text fields, in addition to hand range text. This can be much faster than using the hand range editor.

* New Help (?) button for the players' text fields, located above Player 1's text field; gives the full details.
* For example you can enter:

JJ+, AKs
10%
10p
10% r 2%
r 33%

"p" is an alternate syntax for "%". "r" means remove.

3) Better text selection behavior for players' text fields, for faster editing: the text fields' entire text is now selected as you tab through the text fields or after you enter/assign a hand range.

4) Help menu: new help screens for keyboard shortcuts and the calculation results file, and for rating/reviewing the app and for telling your friends about the app. Also, these menu buttons now take you directly to email or to the App Store or to the web, instead of just giving you links.

5) Make all help / ? / info. popup screens fit vertically on small screen Macs like MacBook Air. E.g. the main help screen was overflowing vertically on MacBook Air.

6) Small UI improvements and cleanups, e.g., disable the Edit menu during calculation.

Version 6.1.1 (Released Jan. 25, 2013)

1) Change the location of the calculation results output file (to a more standard and safer location). The main "Help" screen and "Txt" button give the location of this output file.

2) Better error handling when loading and importing scenarios and hand ranges. E.g. the current scenario or hand range is retained now (isn't cleared) if there's an error in the load/import text.

3) New app icon.

Version 5.4.1 (Released Jun. 13, 2012)

New app icon and logo.

Version 5.2.1 (Released Jan. 30, 2012)

Summary:

• Ability to import scenarios via their export-text (export was already there).
• Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.
• Minor rewordings.

Details:

1) Ability to import an entire scenario into the app, by copying the scenario's export-text, using the new File Menu --> Import Scenario… menu item.

The ability to export a scenario's text was already there (the "Txt" button), so this import feature completes the round-trip. Also note that you can save/load scenarios to/from *.pcr files.

Example uses:

• Share scenarios and hand ranges with friends, on forums, across the different versions of PokerCruncher, and across other hand range programs.
• Save scenarios to *.pcr files for later loading/analysis.

2) Minor fix to the definitions of the Sklansky hand groups.

We had used a variant of the group definitions which put some hands in two groups e.g. AKs was in both Group1 and Group5. We now use the correct and strict definition of the groups, so now e.g. AKs is in only Group1.
Thanks to customer Rob S. for noticing this.

3) Minor rewordings e.g. "Range Breakdown" --> "Range Heat Map".

Version 4.4.1 (Released Sep. 01, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's icon.

Version 4.3.1 (Released Jul. 05, 2011)

Small fix/improvement to the hit OnePair Deal-To-Flop *hit* stat. The normal/default *make* OnePair stat isn't affected by this issue.

If the flop pairs to help a non-pair hand like A9o make TwoPair, e.g. if the flop is AKK, then the app was giving A9o credit for hitting OnePair (the thinking was, because A9o has hit exactly one of its cards). However a poster on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread pointed out that this is inconsistent with the strict meaning of making/hitting OnePair, so now the app doesn't give a non-pair hand credit for hitting OnePair in such cases (because it has made TwoPair).

Version 4.2.2 (Released Jun. 07, 2011)

Minor update: make the app's icon more detailed.

Version 4.2.1 (Released May 30, 2011)

Small improvements: change a Deal-To-Flop stat, and add two one-time alerts explaining the Deal-To feature.

It looks like some users don't understand Deal-To and think the odds are completely wrong when they set Deal-To to something other than River. Hopefully these alerts will help users understand this feature (and not write "odds are wrong" reviews e.g. as they have on the iPhone version of this app).

• Change Deal-To-Flop stat PocketPairAndNoOvercard to OverPair. OverPair is a more useful stat (e.g. it doesn't overlap with 3OfAKind) and is a more standard stat. Thanks to customer Gabriel V. for suggesting this.
• Show one-time alerts explaining the Deal-To feature the first time you change Deal-To and the first time you calculate with Deal-To set to something other than River.

Also:

• Add a note in the main Help screen for following us on facebook and twitter; we'd love to have more fans.

Version 4.1.2 (Released Apr. 15, 2011)

Thanks for buying PokerCruncher-Mac!  Some small cleanups to the initial release:

• Add a link to the app's TwoPlusTwo forum thread in Help Menu --> PokerCruncher TwoPlusTwo Forum Thread.  We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on our thread or in an App Store review.
• Small UI improvement: reset the hand range view when reset/clear/assign cards, so that the hand range view is in a clean state even with respect to e.g. selected grid cells.

Version 4.1.1 (Released Apr. 06, 2011)

• Product launch.

For example the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog by Alec Torelli are must sees in our opinion. Also see our website’s (improved) Tutorials & Videos page.

2) A great new recommended poker pro/coach:

    Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com)

Alec uses PokerCruncher in his work/analysis and has created some excellent videos and teaching material (e.g. the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog mentioned above). If you want to learn how to use PokerCruncher effectively, how to read hands and ranges better, and improve your overall game, we recommend checking out Alec's videos/teaching-material/coaching. We ourselves (including me RJ) have learned a lot from Alec's videos and teaching material e.g. his funnel system for reading hands and ranges. Do check him out!

3) A separate Coaches & Pros page on our website, and a link to this page inside the app:

    Menu --> Help … --> Coaches & Pros

Videos on how to use PokerCruncher, and a bug fix for iOS 7 and older devices.

1) Videos

* Two poker coaches have each made good videos on how to use PokerCruncher (thanks guys!). Links to the videos are on our website. Also, the app’s Menu -> “Tutorial & Videos” button takes you to the PokerCruncher Tutorial and videos. These videos use the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher, but they should also be helpful for this Basic version.

* We’ve made a short 30-second app preview video of the iPhone-Advanced version of PokerCruncher. This video is on our website, and should also be helpful for this Basic version.

2) Bug fix - Hopefully fix an app shutdown/crash bug on iOS 7 and older devices (e.g. iPhone 4S) that (only) two customers reported on the iPhone-Advanced version of PokerCruncher. The app was shutting down a few seconds after a calculation finished. This wasn’t being seen on iOS 8 or later.

2) Don’t use unnecessary abbreviations in the UI, e.g. write “Players” not “Plyrs” in the Reset menu.

Big user interface improvements, and a small new feature.

1) New, modern UI theme across entire app.

4) This app now requires iOS 7 or later.

Further Details:

1) Some small additional UI improvements, e.g.:

* Update the Tutorial: shortcuts.

Version 7.1.2 (Released Apr., 2014)

Also:

• Show the number of simulations done next to the calculation progress bar.
• Add "(enum)" to the number of simulations shown if the calculation is doing complete enumeration, e.g. "990(enum)". Monte Carlo simulation is the default.

• 4-color cards for easier readability of suits.
• New (saved) setting in the Menu for 2-color or 4-color.
• Small improvements to the design of some cards e.g. the Ace's inner suit icon is now a large suit icon not small.
• Better n:1 odds format: now n is always >= 1.0. "n:1" means "odds against" as before, and "n:1F" means "odds in favor" or "odds as a favorite".
• Change app display name to "PkrCruncher" (used to be "PokCruncher").

Thanks to PokerCruncher's TwoPlusTwo forum posters for these suggestions.

Version 2.4 (Released Jul. 03, 2009)

• iPhone OS 3.0 compatibility.
• Show Equity as the main player stat (used to show Win%).
• Equity colors: Green for positive equity (5% or more above breakeven), Orange for negative equity, Yellow for breakeven equity.
• Handle up to 9 players (used to handle up to 8).
• Fold/Un-Fold selected player button in Menu (models dead cards).
• Small performance improvement in UI, e.g. adding/removing players is a little faster.

    Alec Torelli (ConsciousPoker.com)

Alec uses PokerCruncher in his work/analysis and has created some excellent videos and teaching material (e.g. the “The Best Way to Study Poker” video and blog mentioned above). If you want to learn how to use PokerCruncher effectively, how to read hands and ranges better, and improve your overall game, we recommend checking out Alec's videos/teaching-material/coaching.

1) New app icon and logo.

2) Change the location of the calculation results output file. The main "Help" screen and "Txt" button give the location of this output file.

• Minor rewordings and some small UI tweaks.

Version 4.4.1 (Released Sep. 01, 2011)

Version 12.1.1 (Released Feb. 24, 2019)

Maintenance update: minor wording improvements in the menus, and some internal improvements.

Version 11.6.3 (Released Dec. 30, 2018)

Maintenance update: minor internal improvements.

Version 11.6.2 (Released Dec. 19, 2018)

An edge case “Calc” button bug fix:
* If you did repeated calc’s fast, starting the next calc immediately after the current calc ends, you could have sometimes gotten a crash. You had to be really stress-testing the app to get this; wouldn’t have happened in normal usage. In any case this has been fixed.

Also:
* Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials.
* Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.

4) A change to the app’s icon: write “PRE” on the icon to indicate that this is the free PREFLOP-ONLY version of PokerCruncher.

• Product launch.

Tournament Cruncher (ICM)

Back To Top

Version 11.3 (Released Oct. 09, 2024)

A small UI and maintenance update:
* Set the text size of the toolbars’ buttons in a cleaner way, so that the toolbars don’t overflow if you set the iOS system text size setting to a very large text size.

Version 11.2 (Released May 23, 2024)

Fix a system keyboard and app screen scrolling bug that started happening on iOS 17.4:
The app’s screen wasn’t scrolling up/down correctly when the system keyboard was shown at the bottom of the screen for entering numbers in text fields. Now the system keyboard and app’s screen scroll up/down together correctly.

Version 10.3 (Released Sep. 27, 2022)

Support “big blind ante” in the “Calc: M & Q Ratios” screen (in addition to supporting regular ante).
* If you enter a value < SmallBlind in the Ante field, it’s interpreted as a regular ante.
* If you enter a value >= SmallBlind in the Ante field, it’s interpreted as a big blind ante.
* Update this screen’s “?” Help screen; add a section on Ante.

Big blind ante is a relatively new ante structure designed to make posting antes simpler, which speeds up the game. In this ante structure, instead of each player posting an ante on every hand, only the big blind posts an ante (for the whole table), where the ante is usually equal to the big blind, but could be less than the big blind e.g. if the table is short-handed.

Not supporting big blind ante up til now was not a showstopper, because all we had to do was divide the big blind ante by the number of players at the table to convert it to a regular ante. But having the app support big blind ante directly is of course more convenient for us.

Our thanks to customer Deborah F. for writing in about big blind ante.

Version 10.2 (Released May 21, 2022)

A small follow-up to the previous update (an app refresh and maintenance update for the latest versions of iOS):
* Name the app “Tournament Cruncher (ICM)” in the App Store and in a few places in the app itself, i.e. add “(ICM)” to indicate the ICM aspect of this app.

Version 10.1 (Released May 05, 2022)

An app refresh and maintenance update for the latest versions of iOS.
* Also, some small wording improvements in a few dialogs.

Improvements to the Menu --> Help … and Menu --> Our Apps … submenus:

1) Improve the wording of a few menu buttons.

2) Update/improve the links to a few of our apps, e.g. to go directly to the App Store.

3) Add a new “Coaches & Pros” menu button, that takes you to our new Coaches & Pros page on our website.

We’re very happy that some really good pros/coaches like these guys are using PokerCruncher and have created some great teaching material. Do check them out on our Coaches & Pros webpage. And also check out some great videos and blogs on PokerCruncher that they’ve created on our (improved) Tutorials & Videos webpage.

4) Some small wording improvements in some help/info screens and menus.

5) This app now requires iOS 8.0 or later.

Version 6.1 (Released Aug. 15, 2016)

User interface maintenance update to make sure the UI is clean going forward. Also update this app’s App Store screenshots to the latest format.

* Make the UI adjust cleanly to in-phone-call mode on all configurations: iOS 7, iOS 8, all device screen sizes.

Version 4.1 (Released Aug., 2014)

Small UI improvements, mainly to ensure that the UI will be clean under the soon to be released iOS 8.

* Show scenario calculation details and all Help info. in full screens instead of in small alert views.
* A few internal changes/fixes for iOS 8, e.g. make sure that the “Done” button appears in the number input keypad on iOS 8.
* Move “Calculate” button to the right side of the main screen.
* Some other minor UI improvements, e.g., use a space in “Export (Email)”.

Version 3.2 (Released Dec., 2013)

Maintenance and bug fixes update.

Summary:
* Small change to the order of menu/toolbar buttons.
* Support in-phone-call mode (fully for iPhone5 or later, partially for pre-iPhone5).
* Add new-size app icons for iOS 7.
* Small adjustments to the "Rate This App" menu button and prompt.

Details:

1) Support in-phone-call mode:
* When you press the Home button while in a phone call, you're returned to the Home screen with the phone call still alive, and the status bar turns green and becomes taller to indicate in-phone-call mode (if your carrier supports this feature). You can then run the Tournament Cruncher app while you're in the phone call.
* On a 4" screen (iPhone5 or later), the UI now adjusts itself vertically so all screens are completely visible and use-able with the taller status bar.
* On a 3.5" screen (pre-iPhone5), all screens shift down and are mostly use-able, but some elements at the bottom of the screens are cut off.

Version 3.1 (Released Sep. 18, 2013)

1) New calculated stat "Number Of Big Blinds" in Tools --> "Calc: M & Q Ratios" screen.

2) Support iPhone 5's larger screen.

3) Some small UI improvements to make sure the UI is clean going forward:

• Make "Calculate" and "Analyze" buttons blue.
• Improve toolbar buttons' size and spacing.

4) Write chip stack and payout values as whole numbers instead of as floating point numbers in calculations and analyses.

5) Small bug fix: Tapping a toolbar popup menu's button sometimes (infrequently) caused a different menu button command to be invoked; fixed.

Version 2.2 (Released Feb. 28, 2013)

1) Rename app to "Tournament Cruncher".

2) A ChipChop calculator (to complement the ICM calculator). You can now compare the ICM deal with the ChipChop deal. We suggest using this feature fairly and responsibly when making final table chop deals.

• The "Calculate" button calculates both ICM and ChipChop equities.
• The new "ChipChop" / "ICM" button toggles between the two.
• Menu --> Help explains how ChipChop equities are calculated.

3) Minor save/load scenario change: Calculation results (ICM and ChipChop equities) are no longer saved when a scenario is saved, for simplicity and robustness and for consistency with PokerCruncher. This is OK because you can calculate again after loading a saved scenario.

4) New app icon.

5) This app now requires iOS 4.3 or later.

Version 2.1 (Released Aug. 27, 2012)

Big update: calculators for your M & Q ratios and Bubble Factor.

1. Rename the app to "Tourney Cruncher" (from the original name ICM Cruncher) to better reflect the expanded set of features in V.2.1.
2. New app icon.
3. Calculator for your M & Q ratios (measure the health of your chip stack as the tournament progresses).
4. Calculator for Bubble Factor (measures how big an ICM effect a player has against a particular opponent).
5. Help screens/explanations for M & Q ratios and Bubble Factor (the "?" button in the M & Q ratios screen and the "Help: Bubble Factor" menu button).

Version 1.8 (Released Sep. 16, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon and home screen icon.

Version 1.7 (Released Mar. 23, 2011)

Fix a bug in the Push All-In Or Fold decision analyzer.  Thanks to customer Roman K. for finding this bug.  Also add a couple of error checks/messages in this analyzer.

This analyzer was computing an incorrect PushVillainCallHeroWin ICM equity when Hero's ChipsPutIntoPot is less than Villain's ChipsPutIntoPot.

Version 1.6 (Released Dec. 06, 2010)

Improve text field data entry/editing.

• Use a numbers-only keypad instead of a letters&numbers keypad, gives much larger and easier to tap number buttons.
• Scroll screens up if needed to make text fields on the bottom half of the screens visible; before they were being hidden by the keypad.

Version 1.5 (Released Aug. 16, 2010)

Remove Apple's shine effect on the top half of the app's icon; makes the icon sharper and better looking.

Version 1.4 (Released Jul. 22, 2010)

1) UI improvements and fixes for iPhone 4 and iOS 4:

• Add a double-resolution app icon for iPhone 4.
• Make text fit better in the menus and screens, and improve wording in some places.
• Make save/restore app state work correctly on iOS 4; the app state was getting wiped out if you killed the app after suspending it.

2) Add more Help buttons in the Menu: visit our website, email support, tell a friend about the app, write an iTunes review, etc.

Version 1.3 (Released Jun. 01, 2010)

Fix a bug in the analyzers found by customer Paul O.; thank you Paul. Apologies for letting this bug through.

Bug: If Hero wins the all-in and busts out Villain into a non-paid place (the into a paid place case was working ok), the analyzers were incorrectly thinking that Villain busted out into the last paid place, hence giving an incorrect ICM analysis. Now the analyzers leave the paid places untouched in this scenario.

Also, this app now requires OS 3.0 or higher. This requirement shouldn't be a problem because OS 3.0 has been out since summer 2009.

Version 1.2 (Released May 05, 2010)

Small UI improvements:

• Put Cancel button at the bottom of all menus per UI convention.
• Dismiss the system keyboard if it's up (and in the way) e.g. when Calculate, etc.
• Ability to export the push/call/fold decision analyzers' results to email (as you could already do for the calculation details on the main screen).
• Show a confirmation alert when a scenario is saved.

Version 1.1 (Released Dec. 16, 2009)

Cleanups to the first release:

• CallAnAllInOrFold decision analyzer: This analyzer now requires you to enter the Villain's entire StartingChipStack in his ChipsPutIntoPot field, because the Villain has raised all-in. Before, this analyzer required you to exclude the Villain's all-in excess amount, which gave correct ICM calculations but didn't look intuitive because the Villain is all-in.
• Improve the wording in some error messages. Add error messages for cases where you have more than 1 villain due to the ChipsPutIntoPot values you've entered (the analyzers handle only 1 villain and 1 hero).
• Make the "Reset All" command red (to indicate destructive).

Version 1.0 (Released Dec. 07, 2009)

• Product launch.

Update this app’s App Store screenshots to the latest size/format. No changes to the app itself.

Version 5.1 (Released Aug. 09, 2016)

User interface maintenance update to make sure the UI is clean going forward.

Version 4.1 (Released Apr. 29, 2015)

1) Fix the “invisible sliders” problem that started happening on iOS 8.3.

2) New, modern UI theme across entire app.

3) Cleaner and more modern app icon.

4) This app now requires iOS 7 or later.

Version 3.2.2 (Released Oct. 09, 2014)

Small cleanups and improvements to the previous update:

* Show help and info text in full screens instead of in small alert views. This ensures that all text is fully visible/scrollable on all devices on iOS 8.
* Improve the Math Shortcut's explanation a little.

Version 3.1 (Released Sep. 15, 2014)

A big update: iOS 8 compatibility, UI improvements, a new app icon, more explanations on the math involved.

* Make the UI clean under the soon to be released iOS 8.
* Support both 3.5” and 4” screens.
* New app icon.
* Improved, retina card icons (and remove 4-color cards setting).
* Improve tutorial’s instructions and help info.
* Add “Math” help button; explains how to calculate some non-trivial math expressions in your head.
* Add “Random” button in main screen; picks a random scenario to test yourself on and learn.
* Add “Copy” button at the bottom of the tutorial’s screens; copies the scenario’s text. You can then import the scenario into our PokerCruncher app and verify the odds there.

Version 2.1 (Released Sep. 26, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon and home screen icon.

Version 1.9 (Released Jun. 13, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon.

Version 1.8 (Released Aug. 16, 2010)

Remove Apple's shine effect on the top half of the app's icon; makes the icon sharper and better looking.

Version 1.7 (Released Jul. 22, 2010)

1) Explain what "outs" means on the main screen and in Step 1's instructions. Some iTunes reviews said that the app doesn't explain this. Note: The "i" help buttons of each sub-step explain the sub-steps further.

2) UI improvements and fixes for iPhone 4 and iOS 4:

• Add a double-resolution app icon for iPhone 4.
• Make text fit better in the menus and screens, improve wording in some instructions and notes.
• Make save/restore app state work correctly on iOS 4; the app state was getting wiped out if you killed the app after suspending it (not a big bug - just the 2 color cards vs. 4 color cards setting).

3) Add more Help buttons in the Menu: visit our website, email support, tell a friend about the app, write an iTunes review, etc.

Version 1.6 (Released Mar. 09, 2010)

Clarify the last step's (step 3's) answer result screen:

• Show (1): the app's method's expected answer, in addition to (2): your estimate and (3): the actual (exact) answer (obtained e.g. from an odds calculator). Up til now the app has been showing only the latter two ((2) and (3)).

Note that the app's method only gives a good estimate, not the exact answer. Thanks to a couple of customers for suggesting this clarification.

Small UI improvements:

• Move "Cancel" button to the bottom of the list in all menus, per standard UI convention.
• Show a confirmation alert when the card colors setting has been changed/set.

Version 1.5 (Released Dec. 19, 2009)

Improve the usability of the sliders as suggested by a couple of iTunes reviews:

• Indent the sliders on the left side instead of placing them flush against the left side of the screen.
• Instead of using slider min/max values 0%..100%, use 0%..75% or 0%..50% (depending on the slider) so that specific %age values are easier to select.
• Use min/max values 0..15 for the number of outs sliders instead of 0..21, again to make specific values easier to select.

Thank you for writing the reviews and letting us know how to improve this.

Version 1.4 (Released Nov. 11, 2009)

Improve the layout of the 3 main groups' select scenario popup lists. They don't scroll now so the buttons are easier to tap.

Version 1.3 (Released Oct. 06, 2009)

• 4-color cards for easier readability of suits.
• New (saved) setting in the Menu for 2-color or 4-color.

Thanks to PokerCruncher's TwoPlusTwo forum posters for these suggestions.

Version 1.2 (Released Aug. 15, 2009)

Fix a small bug that's visible only on iPhone OS 3.0 - the last scenario in each of the 3 groups wasn't being shown in the popup lists. So now 3 more scenarios are visible.

Version 1.1 (Released May 22, 2009)

As you suggested:

• Added about 10 more practice scenarios.
• Reworded Step3's instructions to make the %age adjustment (the subtraction) for counter-outs clearer.

Version 1.0 (Released Mar. 24, 2009)

• Product launch.

Hold'em Odds Quizzer

Back To Top

Version 11.1 (Released Oct. 15, 2024)

A small UI and maintenance update:
* Set the text size of the toolbars’ buttons in a cleaner way, so that the toolbars don’t overflow if you set the iOS system text size setting to a very large text size.

Version 10.1 (Released May 07, 2022)

An app refresh and maintenance update for the latest versions of iOS.
* Also, some small wording improvements in a few dialogs.
* This app now requires iOS 12.0 or later.

Version 9.3 (Released Jun. 28, 2019)

Small improvements to the Menu --> Help … submenu:

1) Improve wording in a few places.

2) Add a new “Coaches & Pros” menu button, that takes you to our new Coaches & Pros page on our website.

We’re very happy that some really good pros/coaches like these guys are using PokerCruncher and have created some great teaching material. Do check them out on our Coaches & Pros webpage. And also check out some great videos and blogs on PokerCruncher that they’ve created on our (improved) Tutorials & Videos webpage.

Version 9.2 (Released May 21, 2019)

A user interface upgrade for iPhone X-series models … at last :).
1) All screens and views are larger, and have an improved layout.
2) Everything is sharper/higher-res, including the card icons.

Also, a small improvement for all iPhone models:
* Show an “i” info. button in the Quiz screen for all quizzes’ questions. This button shows a brief summary of the current question’s situation/scenario, e.g. “Pre-Flop: AA vs RandomHand”.

Version 9.1 (Released Feb. 25, 2019)

Maintenance update: some internal improvements.

Version 8.5 (Released Dec. 16, 2018)

Maintenance update: minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes.

Version 8.4 (Released Sep. 04, 2018)

Maintenance update:
* Make the app’s splash screen cleaner, for the latest/newest version of iOS.

Version 8.3 (Released Jun. 26, 2018)

Maintenance update:
* Small wording improvement/update in the “Copy” button’s alert message’s instructions. This button copies the scenario’s text, for importing the scenario into our PokerCruncher app.

Version 8.2 (Released May 05, 2018)

Fix a bug in the Outs Chart, and some small maintenance improvements.

1) Fix a bug in the Outs Chart: the n:1 odds values were slightly wrong due to a rounding bug. The %age values were/are correct. This didn’t affect the numbers in the rest of the app as the Outs Chart is just a standalone reference table.

2) Screens’ bottom toolbar buttons: improve the buttons’ spacing and layout.

===== Thanks =====
Our thanks to customer Alex M. for finding the 1) bug.

Version 7.1 (Released Aug. 15, 2017)

1) Ensure that the app works cleanly on potential upcoming new versions of iOS.

2) New button/section “Further Education” in the app’s main Help menu (Menu -> Help button on the main screen) and on the PokerCruncher Tutorial & Videos webpage. We've partnered with some great poker pros/coaches/teachers; please check them out!

3) Improve wording/explanations in a few help/info screens: Odds Tutorial, Outs Chart, Quiz “Help” button.

4) This app now requires iOS 8.0 or later.

Version 6.3 (Released Aug. 22, 2016)

Update this app’s App Store screenshots to the latest size/format. No changes to the app itself.

Version 6.2 (Released Aug. 05, 2016)

A small user interface tweak to make the UI clean on (the upcoming) iOS 10.

1) Make sure that the “i” button scenario summary texts aren’t cut off at the bottom on iOS 10.

Version 6.1 (Released Jun. 18, 2016)

1) Add a “Copy” button under the board cards in each question; copies the question’s scenario’s text. You can then import the scenario into our PokerCruncher app and examine the scenario in more detail (e.g. the hand ranges) and calculate the odds yourself.

2) A small fix to the “Top 5% Of Hands” hand range that some of the hand range questions use. Due to a rounding error the range was actually top 4.5% of hands; now it’s top 4.8% of hands (as close as possible to 5%). This doesn’t affect the correct equity answers much, at most 1% or 2% or even not at all in some questions.

Version 5.1 (Released May 02, 2015)

1) Fix the “invisible sliders” problem that started happening on iOS 8.3.

2) New, modern UI theme across entire app.

3) Cleaner and more modern app icon.

4) This app now requires iOS 7 or later.

Version 4.2.1 (Released Oct. 09, 2014)

Small cleanups and improvements to the previous update:

* Show help and info text in full screens instead of in small alert views. This ensures that all text is fully visible/scrollable on all devices on iOS 8.

A big update: iOS 8 compatibility, UI improvements, a new app icon.

* Make the UI clean under the soon to be released iOS 8.
* Support both 3.5” and 4” screens.
* New app icon.
* Improved, retina card icons (and remove 4-color cards setting).
* Remove high-score leaderboards (needed to do this for compatibility with the latest version of iOS going forward). Your grades and scores are still stored inside the app as before.
* Improve Odds Tutorial and help info. and alerts.
* Hand ranges terminology improvement: say “AnyPocketPair”, not “AnyPair”.

Version 3.6 (Released Sep. 26, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon and home screen icon.

Version 3.5 (Released Jun. 13, 2011)

Minor update: improve the app's App Store icon.

Version 3.4 (Released Aug. 26, 2010)

Adjust some labels and text to make them fit better (e.g. not overflow) on iPhone 4, e.g. the "Multiple Players" label in the Multi-Player quiz.

Version 3.3 (Released Aug. 16, 2010)

Remove Apple's shine effect on the top half of the app's icon; makes the icon sharper and better looking.

Version 3.2 (Released Jul. 22, 2010)

1) UI improvements and fixes for iPhone 4 and iOS 4:

• Add a double-resolution app icon for iPhone 4.
• Add the OpenFeint logo to the app icon.
• Make text fit better in the menus and screens, and improve wording in some places.
• Make save/restore app state work correctly on iOS 4; the app state was getting wiped out if you killed the app after suspending it.

2) Improve Help info.:

• Explain what "outs" means in the Odds Tutorial (Menu-->OddsTutorial).
• Add more Help buttons in the Menu: visit our website, email support, tell a friend about the app, write an iTunes review, etc.

3) Update the app's OpenFeint to the latest version (2.5).

Version 3.1 (Released May 07, 2010)

Small UI improvements, to get this app in sync with the UI style of the other PokerCruncher apps:

• Put Cancel button at the bottom of all menus per UI convention.
• Show a confirmation alert when the card colors setting is changed.

Version 3.0.1 (Released Nov. 07, 2009)

Minor bug fix update:

• Fix a "resume quiz after quit/restart app" bug - If you quit the app right after answering a quiz's last question (i.e. when you're looking at the "Quiz Finished" alert), and then restarted the app, the app was resuming the quiz at its last question. Now the app recognizes that the quiz is finished and doesn't resume it.

Resume after quit/restart was working correctly for questions 1 .. n-1, so this bug shouldn't have caused too much trouble; was introduced in V.3.0, apologies.

Version 3.0 (Released Oct. 20, 2009)

Major V.3.0 update - Worldwide high-score leaderboards for each quiz and for overall odds knowledge!

.. using OpenFeint 2.2 for the leaderboards. OpenFeint is a leading social game community that also features chat and friends. If you don't have an internet connection, you can store your scores locally on your device as before.

To get going, launch the app, enable OpenFeint when asked, go to the Results screen, and tap "Post Scores" to post all of your current scores. Then take more quizzes and post up-to-date scores.

• You get a score for each quiz now in addition to a grade. Your score is computed from your grade (accuracy), quiz completion time, and number of answers cancelled.
• Worldwide high-score leaderboards for each quiz.
• Leaderboard for a new aggregate quiz "Overall Odds Knowledge" that sums up the 7 important "base" quizzes. Whoever's at the top of this leaderboard is the current reigning overall odds champ!

Also:

• Made the "Submit Answer" button a little bigger (taller) to make it easier to tap.
• Your average %age error for a quiz is a little more accurate now: it's rounded up/down to the nearest integer instead of just being truncated downward to an integer.

Version 2.3 (Released Oct. 06, 2009)

Cards and odds format improvements:

• 4-color cards for easier readability of suits.
• New (saved) setting in the Menu for 2-color or 4-color.
• Small improvements to the design of some cards e.g. the Ace's inner suit icon is now a large suit icon not small.
• Better n:1 odds format: now n is always >= 1.0. "n:1" means "odds against" as before, and "n:1F" means "odds in favor" or "odds as a favorite".

Thanks to PokerCruncher's TwoPlusTwo forum posters for these suggestions.

Version 2.2 (Released Sep. 15, 2009)

New quiz: multi-player scenarios. 10 new questions, 2 variations per question, so 20 new situations added.

Example questions in the multi-player quiz: AA vs. 4 random hands, TopPairTopKicker on flop vs. FlushDraw vs. OpenEndStraightDraw.

Version 2.1 (Released Jun. 27, 2009)

Thank you for suggesting these improvements:

• Show questions in random order in all quizzes.
• Added about 40 more situations: For more variety, most of the pre-flop and post-flop basic and advanced questions now have 2 variations (specific situations) per question instead of just 1 as before. The quizzer selects a variation randomly each time a question is shown.
• Added a Pre-Flop Odds Chart for common pre-flop matchups in the Tutorial.
• Show odds as both %age's and as n:1 odds, including in the Outs Chart.

Version 2.0 (Released Apr. 3, 2009)

Two new hand ranges quizzes: pre-flop and post-flop. This was suggested by our customers; thanks for writing. You may find that these hand ranges quizzes are harder than the non-hand-ranges quizzes.

Poker is a game of incomplete information; we can almost never put our opponents on specific cards. We have to put them on ranges of hands (e.g. "I think he has Aces or Kings or maybe AceKing") and make odds estimates based on incomplete information.

Version 1.3 (Released Feb. 27, 2009)

An Odds Tutorial screen that:

• Explains what "Equity" means.
• Shows you how to use the Outs Chart.
• Explains our method for estimating the odds for just about any Hold'em scenario in your head in real time by counting outs and counter-outs. This is of course a much better and more general way to learn poker odds than by memorizing the odds for specific scenarios or even by memorizing an outs chart.

These explanations were suggested by a customer, thank you.

Version 1.2 (Released Dec. 22, 2008)

New buttons "+ 5%", "+ 1%", "- 5%", "- 1%" to give you another way to set your answer for each question.

The original way is the slider and it's still there, but some users may find the buttons more convenient.

Version 1.1 (Released Dec. 8, 2008)

• Product launch.
