Simulating Poker

Overview

Poker is a game of probabilities. The optimal strategy for any given hand must weigh the chance of drawing certain cards against others. When accounting for the probabilities associated with the other players at the table, the calculatoins can become unweildy.

A simple way to overcome this issue is to simulate the game a number of times (subject to contstraints posed by the current hand) and count the outcomes. This type of simulation is contained with the statistical field of Monte Carlo Simulations.
