Can I use The PokerWiz® to get a feel for “good” hands?
There are many ways to do this, but we find one of the most interesting is to use Qualifiers. For example, set up a simulation of seven card stud, two players with random hands. Set “High Qualifiers” (From the Options Box) at, say, trips or better, and run off a bunch of deals. The PokerWiz® will keep statistics on the “qualified” deals and show the number (or percentage) of deals in which no one qualified, i.e., in which no one had trips or better. Now do the same thing with four players, then with seven players. You’ll find that with two players the best hand will be less than trips a whole lot more often than with four or seven players. Qualifiers can be applied to any variation available on PokerWiz®, high, low and high/low split. Like to play deuce-to-the-seven lowball? Use “Low Qualifiers” to tell you how often in five-handed game someone has, say, a pat ten-low or better.
